We had reviewed DriverSide last month, a site focused providing users a one stop destination for all the information a user can get on cars has stepped up at funding by raising $5 million from Catamount Ventures as reported by Chris Morrison With a recent competitor in RapairPal, DriverSide aims at getting big in the race that is currently run entirely by enthusiasts who have their own forums at sharing all the information.

DriverSide aims at moving over to the larger scale by grappling up every thing that has got to do with automobiles. This is planned at putting to practice the data collection of various models and providing users with all the necessary information as to when the car needs a checkup and when it has tipped over its service point. CEO Trevor Traina also aims at introducing many new features that include wikis, community features and a bulk of data available on every model available.

The pricing details are also eyed upon by Trevor related to the various automobile parts, their repair cost making DriverSide compete RepairPal’s data more comprehensively. But is that all DriverSide aims at? Traina already has plans at jumping over to a higher raise in next rounds to bring about more changes in DriverSide that eventually help it become a force to reckon with in the Web-Garage business.

What could the dream raise be? Trevor thinks that DriverSide would most probably settle in for a figure between $5 to $10 million. Umm we think it should better be left to Trevor and DriverSide to dream of all the cash they can dream at grasping. Dudes do keep the info on cars updated and worthy mechanics; don’t waste the funding on Ferrari!
