About Damage Control

Damage Control is a community-driven automotive brand. We design, test, curate and support parts the way they are supposed to be. Clearly, honestly and with accountability. Through this we wish to revolutionize the way you build your project car.

Damage Control didn’t start as a business plan. It started as a conversation.

Like many enthusiasts, we kept running into the same problems over and over again:

• Solid products, but zero communication
  
• Long response times (if you got a response at all)
  
• Websites that are built product-first, not consumer-first
• Poor documentation, vague compatibility, unclear expectations

We thought to ourselves: this can be done better.

After one too many discussions about this exact problem, we decided to stop complaining and put our money where our mouth is.

To be clear: the automotive world is filled with talent. There is no shortage of it. However, you cannot do everything yourself.

A product developer is not a marketeer.
A marketeer is not a mechanic.
A mechanic is not a web developer.
A web developer is not an engineer.

You need people working together. When everyone is in the role they excel at, talent actually gets the space to flourish.

That principle is what Damage Control is built on.

Connecting development, communication and community.

Born from chaos.

Damage Control exists to bridge the gap between good ideas and a great customer experience.

We do that by taking responsibility for the entire journey:

• Researching whether ideas actually have community support
  
• Developing or co-developing products with builders we trust
  
• Testing and validating before anything goes live
  
• Communicating clearly and in a timely fashion, before and after you buy
  
• Providing proper documentation and long-term support

If it’s sold under Damage Control, we guarantee your happiness. Even after check-out

We are not just about selling products. We are building something bigger.

Our goal is to become the place builders, developers and enthousiasts come together and ideas are shared. We believe that:

• Independent developers should get a platform they deserve;
• Extremely niche products also have a place in the automotive world;
• Customers have a right to know exactly what fits and how it works;
• Everyone of every skill level should be able to get started working on cars;
• Documentation, guides and the community are just as important as the products themselves.

Some of this we're already building. A lot of it is still ahead of us.
