SPARQ Unveils CoLab to Connect Drivers and Mechanics Through Shared Data

Nov 13, 2025
SPARQ has introduced CoLab, a new feature that connects drivers directly with certified mechanics, enabling real-time diagnostics sharing, service scheduling, and cost approvals within one app. The tool extends SPARQ’s existing diagnostics platform and will be available in 2026.

Irvine-based startup SPARQ has announced a new feature called SPARQ CoLab, designed to connect drivers directly with mechanics and service shops, announced in a press release. The feature was revealed at the SEMA Show 2025 in Las Vegas.

SPARQ CoLab enables drivers to share vehicle data and diagnostic results instantly with certified mechanics, schedule service appointments, review repair estimates, and approve costs directly within the app. The system integrates with SPARQ’s existing $129 plug-in tool, SPARQ Diagnostics, which interprets over 50,000 vehicle codes to help users understand and predict maintenance needs.

For service centers, CoLab provides a unified platform to generate estimates, manage parts orders, and handle invoicing while receiving pre-diagnosed issues from drivers. The tool uses SPARQ’s AI engine to summarize diagnostics and recommended services, streamlining communication and reducing time spent on explanations.

SPARQ CoLab is expected to become available to both drivers and mechanics in 2026.
