Crossroads acquires MeriCAR.com

Roadside assistance services firm Crossroads India has acquired the country’s first online car garage aggregator MeriCAR.com to expand its network across the country. Post-acquisition, Crossroads will surpass 1,000 branded garages across the country. It aims to grow this number to over 5,000 in the next two years.
With MeriCAR.com on board, the company would be able to hasten its garage aggregation process, which is seen as a key growth driver going forward. As part of the deal, MeriCAR.com founder Rakesh Sidana will be joining Crossroads and will head a newly created vertical points of sales and services (POSS) network.

Established in 2008 as listing model, MeriCAR created a unique value proposition for helping car owners for repairing and car servicing. It is expanding its reach across the country by offering services through its digital platform, apart from its traditional road side assistance (RSA) brick and mortar model.

The company has recently expanded its retail sales teams to energize operations in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, West Bengal, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Odisha, and Rajasthan. The city based firm started operations 16 years ago in 1999 and today has B2C operations in 12 cities and network presence in 30 cities across the country.
