PitPro Automation is a San Francisco-based robotics startup founded by Jeremy Conrad that designs automated tire-changing systems for large tire-service chains. Each PitPro unit is roughly the size of an oven and pairs 3D vision sensors with a robotic arm that identifies lug nuts, loosens them, removes wheels, and installs replacement or rotated tires. The system slots into existing maintenance bays without disrupting other services, and the company says it can change all four tires on a vehicle in under 15 minutes.
PitPro's first commercial deployment launched with Kal Tire in Calgary, Alberta in September 2026 and is aimed at addressing the tire-service industry's chronic labor shortages.
