π About Us
Before starting AutoMarketplace, we created and operated a vehicle fleet ππππ in New York City π½π. After millions of City miles π, we learned many expensive lessonsπ°. This inspired us to create AutoMarketplace, an automotive & NYC for-hire transportation content platform and AutoMarketplace.com, an auto repair & services marketplace.
On AutoMarketplace.com you can find trustable local NYC area auto repair & service shops π¨π½βπ§, tire installers βοΈ, car washes & detailing providers π§Ό. You'll also find a directory of towing providers and body shops β οΈ. The marketplace aims to be user owned. Owned by those who help grow the site and sustain the marketplace π©πΏπ¨π»βπ¦³π¨π¨πΎπ΄π½π©π¨πΏβπ¦²π©πΌβπ¦³π§πΎ. This unique rewards structure will be represented by a blockchain token.
We are building in public π’ and are always looking for new people, open to unique incentives, to grow our auto repair & services network and content platform. Please reach out at info@automarketplace.com or on social media if you're interested .

π€ Prepaid Maintenance

π© User Ownership & Web3
The rise of the internet (Web1) in the 1990s saw the creation of βread-onlyβ online directories, a sort of digital Yellow Pages (if you remember what that was!). This laid the foundation for modern eCommerce (Web2) , often done on online marketplaces and social media sites. eCommerce platforms function by charging a commission on sales, subscription fees, selling online ad space or a combination of the three. Today, eCommerce is going through another transformation (Web3).
Enabled by blockchain technology, eCommerce is being reimagined. Online marketplaces will be majority owned and controlled by users. Users benefit from growing and maintaining the marketplace. AutoMarketplace.com is built for this new paradigm.
