CarServ
CarServ was auto repair shop management software — marketed as "the operating system for auto repair" — used by single-site shops and multi-location repair groups to run repair orders, Digital Vehicle Inspections, technician and service advisor workflows, customer communication and payments. The company was backed by Techstars. It is no longer operating: carserv.com returned HTTP 410 Gone through late 2024 and now resolves to a registrar parking page delegated to Afternic name servers. CarServ shipped a read-only JSON:API v2 "Public API" covering repair orders, customers, vehicles, appointments, inspections, operations and their part, labor and sublet line items, authenticated by exchanging an API key and secret for a JWT bearer token. No OpenAPI definition, developer portal or documentation survives; this profile reconstructs the historical API contract from the company's own open-source Ruby client library, which remains public on GitHub.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles CarServ the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — CarServ scores 10.9/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 17/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile CarServ
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for CarServ. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
