About this app

One app. Every job.

MECH AI is the automotive multitool: AI Mechanic chat, OBD2 code reading, step-by-step repair guides, wiring diagrams, and parts search in one app. Whether you're a DIYer in your driveway or a pro running a shop, get clear answers and step-by-step guidance for your exact vehicle.

AI MECHANIC
Ask in plain English — or Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, or Italian. Describe the symptom ("check engine light is on", "grinding noise when I brake") and get the most-likely cause, an estimated repair cost, and a DIY difficulty rating. And when a job needs a lift or special tools, it says so.

OBD2 SCANNING
Pair a Bluetooth LE or WiFi ELM327 adapter and read stored, pending, and permanent trouble codes — free, with plain-English descriptions from a 9,415-code offline catalog. Live sensor data, emissions readiness, and VIN reading included from DIY up. Read-only: it never clears codes or flashes your ECU.

GUIDED DIAGNOSTICS
Resumable sessions that walk you through the tests in the order that rules out the cheap causes first, so you don't replace a converter when the problem was an exhaust leak.

DIGITAL GARAGE
A Vehicle Health score and service timeline per car, built around your year, make, model and mileage.

PARTS FINDER
Fitment-checked parts from Amazon and eBay, searchable by symptom or part name.

TSBs & RECALLS
Manufacturer service bulletins and NHTSA recall campaigns by model and year. Confirm VIN applicability and unrepaired status through the official lookup or your dealer.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
AI-rendered electrical, vacuum, cooling and fuel-system schematics (MECHANIC and up). OEM repair and wiring diagrams with real part numbers on AUTOSHOP.

PLANS
- FREE — with ads. 3 AI text messages and 3 photo analyses per day, OBD2 code reading, 1 saved vehicle.
- DIY — ad-free. 100 AI text messages per day, guided diagnostics, repair guides, service history, 5 saved vehicles.

- AUTOSHOP — 1000 AI text messages and 100 AI diagrams per day, plus OEM repair and wiring diagrams where coverage is available. Daily usage limits apply.
- SHOP MANAGER — guided pilot for repair shops. Request onboarding to discuss team workflows and availability; not a self-service purchase.

Trial availability varies by platform and plan; check the in-app subscription screen for the current offer. Cancel anytime.

SEVEN LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, and Italian. The AI Mechanic answers in your language. Technical identifiers (VIN, OBD2, RPM, TSB) stay universal.

PRIVACY
We don't sell your data. Your VIN, vehicle history and chat content stay private to your account.

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.
