“Can a vertical SaaS for independent auto repair shops become the operating system — and eventually the financial layer — for a fragmented $20B+ industry stuck on spreadsheets?”
AutoLeap was founded in 2019 by Steve Lau and Rameez Ansari to bring auto repair shops into the 21st century by replacing spreadsheets and clunky invoicing tools with a modern, end-to-end SaaS workflow. The product covers digital inspections, scheduling, invoicing, payments and QuickBooks-based accounting. To date the company remains a pure vertical SaaS play — embedded finance is limited to in-shop card acceptance and native QuickBooks sync; no BaaS, lending, payroll, or insurance products have been launched.
AutoLeap processes payments through AutoLeap Payments (in-house product, processor undisclosed).
AutoLeap integrates with QuickBooks Online.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in AutoLeap's stack: Payments / PSP (AutoLeap Payments (in-house product, processor undisclosed)); Accounting (QuickBooks Online).
AutoLeap was founded by Steve Lau and Rameez Ansari and is founded in 2019, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
AutoLeap has raised $53M in total (latest round: Series B, 2023).
