About this app

Every repair. Every upgrade. In your hands.

HowToo puts a real parts marketplace and an AI vehicle expert in the same app. Meet Orion: ask "How do I replace my alternator?" and get clear, step-by-step guidance for your exact year, make, model, trim, and engine, with the right tools, torque specs, and video references. Then buy the exact-fit parts in the same conversation. No part numbers. No guessing. No tabs full of forums.

WHAT ORION CAN DO
• Diagnose problems: describe a symptom or an engine code and narrow it down together
• Repair guidance: steps, tools, torque specs, fluids, and cautions for your exact vehicle
• Find parts by asking: "I need front brake pads" returns exact-fit matches, ready to buy
• Snap a photo: point your camera at any part and Orion identifies it and finds the replacement
• Know your vehicle: specs, maintenance schedules, and how every feature works
• Learn as you go: top video references without leaving the app

The design and practicality of the app have come a long way. The AI still needs some work but gets the job done; it's great for DIYers. Most parts can be ordered at an extraordinarily low price (much lower than retail). Other than some minor app bugs that need fixing, it's a great app!

Hey Andrew, we just pushed a new version of the app that improved security and rebuilt it for performance improvements. It requires the app to be updated!

has the potential to be a great tool but wont load no matter what you do. ask it a question or tell it what your working on and you'll be waiting 3hrs to get a response

Hey Cory, this is Justin the founder of the company. I'm not sure if you were on an outdated version of the app. We completely rebuilt the app from the ground up. If you were on an outdated version it might not have been working properly. I would love for you to check it out and give us a shot at earning a better review!
