Toronto, Ontario — March 26, 2019 — After opening its first auto repair shop service, Lyft, the ride-sharing service announced on Tuesday that it will be opening up more all over the United States.
Collision Repair reached out to the company on the repair shop status in Canada.
“We’ll have more updates on the Lyft Driver Services program for drivers in Canada soon,” a Lyft representative said.
With a total of 1.1 million active drivers at the end of 2018, Lyft announced that it would be opening up a number of shops in major cities during the second half of the year.
The company is also offering discounts on things like flat tire fixes, brake work, and oil changes and provide free bank accounts in a bid to attract and retain drivers.
These new perks are supposed to come into the U.S. as early as the end of this week.
“Servicing a car is one of the biggest costs for drivers,” chief operating officer Jon McNeil told CNN Business. “We want to address that head-on. By helping them save up to 50 percent on the repair and get their car back in half the time, we’re going to have a significant impact on driver take-home pay.”
