In February 2010, during a journey to Manchester, my car's engine unexpectedly failed midway, despite showing no prior signs of trouble. Stranded on the roadside, I awaited rescue, causing a delay of five hours from my original travel plans and resulting in the largest financial loss I had experienced to date. Upon returning to Birmingham, I teamed up with my longtime friend and automotive engineer, Zach, to develop a portable and cost-effective car diagnostic tool.
The product garnered numerous praises from friends and colleagues upon its creation. Encouraged by this reception, we resolved to bring it to a wider audience. Thus, Rilboxx Studios was formally established in Manchester in September 2010.
