About this app

Check engine light on? Strange noise? Ask MECH AI, your AI mechanic, in your own words and get likely causes, next steps and repair guidance for your exact vehicle. No scanner needed. Have an OBD2 adapter? Read your trouble codes in plain English.

A car diagnostics app with an AI mechanic, an OBD2 scanner and code reader, car repair guides, service bulletins and parts search, for DIYers and pros.

AI MECHANIC
Ask any car question in your own words ("check engine light is on", "grinding noise when I brake") and get answers built around your year, make, model and mileage. Add a photo of a warning light, part or leak. Works in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French and Italian.

GUIDED DIAGNOSTICS
Describe a symptom and get ranked likely causes, how urgent each one is and a DIY difficulty rating. Sessions ask quick, cheap checks first and resume where you left off.

OBD2 SCANNER & CODE READER
Pair a Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi ELM327 adapter to read stored, pending and permanent trouble codes (DTCs) and your VIN for free, explained in plain English from a 9,415-code offline catalog. Live data and emissions readiness from DIY up. Read-only: it never clears codes or flashes your ECU.

STEP-BY-STEP REPAIR GUIDES
Guides for your exact vehicle with the difficulty, time and tools. One a day free, up to 100 a day on DIY.

DIGITAL GARAGE
A service timeline for every car, plus a Vehicle Health score from DIY up.

PARTS SEARCH
Search eBay listings by symptom or part name with an AI fit hint for your vehicle, plus quick links to Amazon and major parts stores. Always confirm fit before you buy.

TSBs & RECALLS
Open recall alerts on every plan, and the full TSB and NHTSA recall library from MECHANIC up. Confirm VIN applicability through the official lookup or your dealer.

DIAGRAMS
AI-generated electrical, vacuum, cooling and fuel-system diagrams that explain how a system works (MECHANIC and up). Always confirm wire colors and connectors against the vehicle or a factory manual. AUTOSHOP adds OEM parts and wiring diagrams where coverage is available.

It worked great until the recent update. All my points were gone and had to log in the app. Eventhough I never logged out. Don't remember my login info. After losing everything, including the diagnostic conversation, I uninstalled the app. Update: I was able to find everything I thought I lost and was finally able to log into my account. 3 stars for now until I navigate the new update. Everything changed. This was no small update.

We're really sorry, Jimmy — you shouldn't have lost your points and conversation like that. The move to our new system was rougher than it should've been. We'd genuinely like to make it right: email support@mechai.app with your account email and we'll help sort it out. — MECH AI

Wow, latest update really neutered this app. They cut way back on features in free version, in particular only being allowed 1 vehicle and only 3 questions a day. Totally pathetic compared to what it used to be. For example, I was able to accumulate the number of questions I could ask (had like 25, obtained by watching ads) and for any vehicle. Gave 2 stars because it does give you good information but severe lack of usability now.

Thanks for the honest feedback, Joe. The old "earn questions by watching ads" setup was never capped, so it wasn't sustainable for us — the AI genuinely costs money to run. We hear you on usability, though. What limits would feel fair to you? Email support@mechai.app — we read every one. — MECH AI

I've been dealing with a difficult to diagnose CEL, mechanics wouldn't listen to me, dealer service centers wouldn't listen to me. Nobody would help, I spent quite a bit of money trying to solve it. The CEL was intermittent and didn't stick around long. I lost hope until this AI and I bounced ideas back and forth. Helped me diagnose and confirm with utmost accuracy what was causing it. I believe this AI shows promise to anyone who wants to keep their car in good shape. Thank you Devs.
