It all began when Timaree, the owner, and her friend Kylie were paired up in their college entrepreneur class. Their assignment: create and pitch a business idea. After several brainstorming sessions that didn't quite hit the mark, Timaree and Kylie returned to the drawing board.

One evening, as Timaree—a mother of four juggling a full-time job and student responsibilities—was compiling her to-do list, she casually offered her husband $50 to take her van in for an oil change. It started as a joke, but the idea struck a chord. If she was willing to pay someone to handle this task, surely others would too.

Kylie shared Timaree's enthusiasm and vision wholeheartedly, and that's how Autofriend was born. With Kylie's cheers of support and Timaree and her husband, Kelly, at the wheel, they set their entrepreneurial dreams into motion.
