MECH AI

About

MECH AI is an AI-powered automotive repair assistant that puts an expert mechanic in your pocket. Ask the AI Mechanic any car question and get instant, vehicle-specific answers for your exact year, make, and model. Run AI diagnostics to decode trouble codes and symptoms, follow step-by-step repair guides, view AI-generated wiring and OEM diagrams, look up technical service bulletins and recalls, and find the right parts with direct buy links. Save every vehicle to your Garage and track its maintenance history.

Built for both sides of the garage: DIY owners save hundreds in shop fees by fixing it themselves with confidence, while professional mechanics and shops diagnose faster and pull repair data without juggling multiple tools.

FAQ

Do I need an OBD-II scanner?

No — works from your words. Describe the symptom, paste a code you saw on a loaner scanner, or show it a photo of the dashboard. And if you have a Bluetooth (BLE) ELM327 adapter, the iOS and Android app pairs with it directly to scan and read your codes.

Does it work for any make and model?

Yes. The AI Mechanic covers everything from common daily drivers to older trucks and imports. The more specific your vehicle details (year, make, model, trim, mileage), the more specific the advice.

Is this just a ChatGPT wrapper?

No. MECH AI is built on a frontier AI model, wrapped in automotive-specific reasoning, your garage context, and integrated tools (TSB lookups, parts search, diagnostic trees). Generic chatbots don't know what year your truck is.

Will it tell me to go to a shop?

Often. That's the point. If the fix needs a lift, special tools, or skills you don't have, MECH AI will say so — and tell you what the shop should charge.

Does MECH AI work in my language?

Yes — MECH AI works in 7 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, and Italian. The AI answers in your language, and the app is available worldwide.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime — mobile subscriptions in your App Store or Google Play settings, web subscriptions from the in-app subscription page. No cancellation phone call required.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes — you manage the change where you subscribed. Web subscriptions are managed from the app's Subscription page: if you already have an active plan, switch it there rather than starting a second subscription. iOS and Android subscriptions are changed in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Billing timing for a change follows your billing provider's rules, and [email protected] can help if you're ever unsure.

Is the free tier really free?

Yes, forever. It's ad-supported, and it includes a daily AI Mechanic chat allowance — no card required. The paid tiers remove ads and unlock the tools you'll actually use if you turn wrenches regularly.

Is the yearly discount real?

Yes. Yearly billing is about 30% off monthly billing on the self-serve paid tiers. SHOP MANAGER is currently a guided pilot, so its scope and pilot pricing are confirmed with each shop before onboarding.

How does the Shop plan work for a team?

One AUTOSHOP account covers your shop's shared devices — bay tablets, the service desk, the shop phone. If you need named team members, customer records, repair orders, and invoices, apply for the guided SHOP MANAGER pilot.
