What was the inspiration behind starting DYD at-home car maintenance service?
The inspiration behind starting DYD’s at-home car maintenance service was driven by our observation of challenges faced by car owners. The desire to revolutionize the traditional service industry, coupled with the difficulties people encountered in servicing their cars during the COVID-19 pandemic, led to the identification of gaps in the market. We envisioned a convenient and reliable at-home car service solution to address these challenges.
