Marketplace for America's most essential assets
Garage is modernizing how America buys and sells the vehicles and equipment that keep communities safe. Our AI-powered marketplace automates every part of the transaction—appraisals, payments, paperwork, freight, warranty, and financing—reducing what once took months down to minutes. By replacing broken, manual processes with modern software, Garage helps critical equipment reach communities faster—saving taxpayer dollars and supporting the industries that keep America running. We've raised $18M to date, and are backed by Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Infinity Ventures, FJ Labs, and other leading investors.
Garage is a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of emergency vehicles, equipment, and related assets from fire departments nationwide. It facilitates listing, messaging, virtual inspections, offers, and logistics for purchasing specialized trucks and gear. The platform positions itself as handling purchase-to-delivery logistics and buyer-seller interactions in a centralized marketplace.
Users browse listings of emergency vehicles and equipment, view detailed specs (brand, year, mileage, tank capacity, pump capacity), and communicate with selling departments. Buyers can schedule virtual inspections, make offers or bid in live auctions, and Garage handles secure messaging, payment, and freight delivery logistics from purchase to delivery.
Who it’s for: Fire departments, municipal fleets, and emergency services organizations seeking to buy used or surplus emergency vehicles and equipment directly from other departments.
