ServiceUp raises $55M to simplify fleet vehicle repairs
The round, led by PeakSpan Capital and existing investors, brings the company's total funding to $70 million since its founding in 2021.
Originally an app designed to remotely manage consumer vehicle maintenance and repair, ServiceUp now also serves as a B2B repair partner for fleets, insurers and shops across the U.S.
The company manages the entire repair process for vehicles – all while providing updates and streamlining data in one platform from pickup to delivery.
'We're not here to slightly improve vehicle repair management,' said Brett Carlson, co-founder and CEO of ServiceUp, in a news release emailed to FreightWaves. 'We're rebuilding it from the ground up. Every delay, every unknown, every wasted hour — we're eliminating all of it with tech and automation. This raise gives us the fuel to move faster, go bigger, and keep pushing the auto repair industry forward.'
The platform removes manual follow-ups and offers greater transparency for previously clouded repair tracking processes. Its centralized dashboard manages collision, maintenance and mechanical repairs.
According to the company's news release, ServiceUp has served leading logistics businesses by reducing their repair cycle times by over 30%.
'Auto repair has remained one of the last great black boxes in the modern economy — fragmented, opaque, and bogged down by outdated workflows and siloed point solutions,' said Jack Freeman, partner at PeakSpan Capital, in the release. 'It's a system that frustrates fleet operators, drains productivity, and kills margin for insurers and service providers. ServiceUp is dismantling that model. They've built the first truly intelligence-driven system of engagement for the automotive repair space — redefining how the entire ecosystem connects, communicates, and operates.'The latest capital fundraising effort will allow ServiceUp to grow its team, enter new markets and boost development of its software as a service configuration: Connect. The new software is designed to pair seamlessly with ServiceUp 360, a managed service model for faster cycle times and more visibility at more efficient costs.

Nvidia AI chips worth $1B smuggled into China after Trump imposed US export controls: report
At least $1 billion in Nvidia computer chips were smuggled into China in the three-months span after President Trump imposed export controls on the cutting-edge chips, according to a bombshell report Thursday. Nvidia's powerful B200 chip – favored by US tech giants like OpenAI and Google to power their artificial intelligence models – are banned for sale to China due to government rules limiting shipments for chips that exceed certain performance thresholds. However, the chip was still being sold in May by Chinese suppliers to data center operators that support China-based tech firms, the Financial Times reported, citing an analysis of sales contracts, company filings and interviews with sources with direct knowledge of the deals. Advertisement 3 Nvidia's most powerful chips are banned for sale to China. REUTERS 'Export controls will not prevent the most advanced Nvidia products from entering China,' a Chinese data center operator told the FT. 'What it creates is just inefficiency and huge profits for the risk-taking middle men.' In May, the Trump administration had banned Nvidia from selling less-powerful H20 chips that were specifically built by the company to adhere to previous export controls imposed on their more powerful chips during the Biden administration. Advertisement However, Nvidia boss Jensen Huang revealed last week that Trump had reversed course and would allow H20 chips to be sold in China. Critics have argued that China-based companies were circumventing the export controls to acquire Nvidia's hardware. That speculation surged earlier this year after reports that China-based AI firm DeepSeek had a greater supply of Nvidia chips than it publicly admitted. 3 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently revealed that Trump had lifted restrictions on H20 sales to China. Getty Images The FT said it reviewed evidence that Chinese distributors in the Guangdong, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces had sold Nvidia's B200 and other restricted chips such as the H100 and H200. Advertisement The FT said there was no evidence that Nvidia had any involvement or knowledge of illicit chip sales to Chinese entities. The company has long said that it complies with all US laws on chip technology. 3 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is pictured. REUTERS 'Trying to cobble together data centers from smuggled products is a losing proposition, both technically and economically,' Nvidia said in a statement. 'Data centers require service and support, which we provide only to authorized Nvidia products.' Advertisement Last month, the chip supplier became the first public company in history to surpass a $4 trillion market valuation.
