Car ownership · IrelandA car ownership app for Ireland: what Escargo does
Escargo keeps your car life in one place: find local vehicle help, compare and book, track jobs live, pay online where enabled, and hold the full history in a Vehicle Passport.
One place for the whole car life
The car problem is fragmentation: a garage in one phone number, recovery in a panic Google, invoices in a drawer, NCT dates in your head. Escargo’s answer is one platform where finding help, doing the job and keeping the record are the same motion.
What that looks like in practice
Breakdown: request recovery, see who accepts, track the truck, car delivered to YOUR garage. Service due: compare local quotes, book online, approve findings from your phone with photos. Later: every job sits in the passport — when you sell, your history is proof, not anecdote.
Ireland-first by design
NCT-literate (fail-sheet quoting, pre-NCT checks), county-by-county provider coverage including rural Ireland, and both sides of the border understood. Built for Irish car life rather than translated to it.

Frequently asked questions
Does Escargo cost drivers money?
Core driver features — finding providers, requesting quotes, vehicle history — are free. You pay providers for the actual work they do.
Do I need to download an app?
No — Escargo runs in the browser, and job tracking arrives as a secure link. Your car life should not depend on an app store.
What is the Vehicle Passport?
The permanent record of your car’s services, repairs and documents on Escargo — history that survives phone changes and makes your next sale more credible.
