Crimson Forge, Inc.
A platform for the automotive service industry — designed by the only person who truly understands what a shop needs.
I spent 20 years as a master technician watching shops run on software built by people who've never held a torque wrench. Clunky interfaces. Missing features. Tools that slow you down instead of speeding you up. So I learned to code, and I built what didn't exist.
Crimson Forge isn't a software company that hired some mechanics to consult. I am the mechanic. Every feature exists because I needed it. Every problem it solves is one I've personally lived through.
When you subscribe to Crimson Forge, you're not just buying software. You're funding better tools for the entire trade. The data your shop generates helps improve diagnostics for every shop. The features you need get built because there's a sustainable business funding them. This platform rises or falls with the people it serves — and that's exactly how it should be.
From the moment a car pulls into the service drive to the day the owner sells it — every part of that journey has a Crimson Forge product built for it.
The complete shop management system — built AI-native from the ground up by a 20-year master technician. Not a software company that hired mechanics to consult. Currently in beta with select partner shops.
The diagnostic intelligence platform that turns any OBDLink reader into an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Full MOTOR database, real-time vehicle data, and AI guidance — built for technicians, service advisors, and shops training the next generation of techs.
The vehicle companion app that will put car owners in control. Designed to give every driver a complete repair history, smart maintenance reminders, and an AI assistant that knows their car. Optional reader for always-on monitoring. Currently in concept — join the waitlist below.
When all three products connect, every car that enters your shop arrives pre-diagnosed, every repair is documented, and every customer stays informed.
Each program is a reference customer cohort of 25 shops, hand-picked by Shane. Not a discount cohort — these are the shops whose names go on the website and whose owners take reference calls as we grow. Founder pricing is locked for as long as you stay subscribed, including future feature unlocks at no upcharge.
Slots go to multi-location operators and high-credibility independents in active conversation with the founder · No bots · No auto-accept · Fit matters
