MAKE CAR OWNERSHIP EASY
Blue Eclipse Releases BluCare Auto 2.0 Update, the Only Smart Car Care App
March 26, 2021 – Cars are complicated. They need regular maintenance. Don’t wait for an expensive failure to occur. That will cost much more long term than doing regular, preventive maintenance.
What if you had your own personal assistant who knew everything your car needed to maintain it, reminded you at the right time to get it done and even helped you find the right mechanic to repair it or order the parts to do it yourself?
Introducing BluCare Auto 2.0, a smart car care app which knows what your car needs and when, and then delivers it to you. It’s like your own personal digital assistant.
Who needs BluCare? The answer is: every car owner. Does BluCare work for any car? Absolutely! All that is needed is your smartphone and the BluCare app. There’s nothing to install or add to your car. Once you download the app, create an account and add your car (or cars) to the app with a quick barcode scan. The app is ready to use. It uses your phone to measure all trips and miles driven and provide you with time-sensitive reminders which are important to you and your car.
Our Mantra: Convenience and Security
Tagline: Make car ownership easy. Save Money. Less Worrying.

Startup Company Blue Eclipse Demonstrating BluRemote Auto, a First-of-its-Kind
Universal DIY IoT Smart Car System with Keyless Entry, at CES™ 2020
LAS VEGAS – January 7, 2020 – Today’s world is moving faster than ever before, and the devices we use to keep up are getting smarter. Smart phones, smart cars, smart homes — all of these products are designed to make our lives easier. But what if a vehicle or house isn’t smart?
With our cloud IoT platform, mobile app and innovative, patented technology, Blue Eclipse makes cars, homes and garages smarter. We give users the power to connect, control, manage and share vehicles and spaces with our universal and future-proof, easy-to-use products and software.
Over 200 million Americans and the US businesses which manage 6 million fleet vehicles aren’t taking full advantage of the convenience of connection from smart cars or homes. They might not know about the potential of smart tech or they may not want to spend the time and money for a professional system installation. Are these people forced to stay stuck in the past while the smart world speeds by? It’s time to smarten up with Blue Eclipse.
Blue Eclipse introduces do-it-yourself, universal control for car doors, garage doors, alarms and car engines, using their existing remotes or key fobs. BluRemote is a patented self-powered robotic system that uses the touch of a robotic finger to control any car, garage or home alarm, following a short and simple process to train the remote.
We’re also developing BluStart, a universal replacement fuse for car engine computers that acts as an anti-theft device by wirelessly controlling a car engine’s starting capability. Our products offer a state-of-the-art solution for all vehicles through a super-easy plug-and-play format, giving consumers control with the touch of a smartphone or the sound of their voice.
