Who We Are
Curbee is one of the fastest-growing mobile service technology companies in automotive. We help dealerships launch, manage, and scale mobile service operations through our platform, M.A.R.S. (Mobile and Remote Service).

Our technology enables dealerships to send the right van, to the right job, with the right parts, at the right time… creating a better experience for customers while driving operational efficiency and profitability.

We’re a scrappy, curious, and resourceful team that believes in working hard, having fun, and building something meaningful together. We spend time in the field with our Dealer Partners, collaborate closely across teams, and share in the success we create through equity ownership.

You’ll work directly with dealer groups, fixed operations leaders, OEM stakeholders, and industry influencers to expand Curbee’s footprint and accelerate adoption of mobile service.
