ABOUT EVEREST

Built inside the shop, not from the outside looking in.

Three founders who’ve run PDR, Collision, and Calibration shops, and one shared problem: software that handled pieces of the job and left us to stitch the rest together by hand.

HOW EVEREST STARTED

It started with problems we were already living with.

Everest didn’t start as a software company. It started with the work: estimates, tech pay, vehicle data, insurance cuts, approvals, and billing. Every system we bought handled a piece of it and left the rest to us.

So we stopped working around the software and built the tools we needed.

The pattern, every time

Estimates lived in one place.
Approvals happened somewhere else.
Billing caught up after the fact.

THE FOUNDERS

Three different strengths. One understanding of the problem.

Joe Brookhart
Co-Founder / Technical Development & Industry Solutions
Collision operations, calibration, diagnostics, ADAS, testing, and real-world repair knowledge. His job is to develop, test, troubleshoot, and make sure the software works the way the shop floor actually does.
Brings technical repair knowledge and real-world thinking to every feature.
Casey Brothers
Co-Founder / Systems & Operations
More than 25 years in automotive, turning complex shop problems into structured processes and practical software systems. At Everest she shapes product flow, research, and how the tools need to work in real shops.
Turns the real process into something the software can actually solve.

Three strengths, one team.

Automotive experience

Estimating, diagnostics, technician management, ADAS, insurance friction, and running the shop day to day.

Product and system design

Turning real problems into something people can understand and use without a manual.

Software development

Building the product, connecting the logic, and shipping it.

WHAT WE HOLD TO

The standards behind the software.

Build for the real job.
Start with what the person needs to get done. Complex automotive work doesn't need complicated software.
Listen to the people doing the work.
What shops run into guides what gets improved next.
Protect the value of the work.
Clear records of what was done and what it's worth.
Be clear about what the tool does.
No promised outcomes the software can't guarantee.

BUILT WITH THE INDUSTRY

The people using Everest shape how it gets better.

Launch isn’t the end of the process. What shops run into guides what we improve next, and Founding Partners have the most direct voice in it.

How Founding Partner pricing works

1
Use it
Shops put Everest into their day and see how it holds up.
2
Tell us what doesn't fit
Where it still creates friction, confusion, or extra work.
3
We improve it
The problems that keep coming up guide what we build next.
