My brakes squeal when cold.
Likely brake dust on the pads. Harmless, but if it returns warm, check pad thickness.

Anatomy of the answer
See the full walkthrough What just happened in that session.
Step 01 · Read
It reads the symptom or the code
Type "rough idle" or paste an OBD2 code like P0420 — no scanner required to start.
Step 02 · Reason
It reasons about your exact car
Ranked likely causes for your year and trim, cross-checked against TSBs and your garage — grounded, not guessed.
Step 03 · Call it
It gives the honest call
The cheap likely fix first — a $45 sensor before a $600 cat — with real parts, or "take it to a shop" when it should.

MECH AI — the AI mechanic in your pocket
The honest part
What it won't do.
An AI mechanic is only useful if it's honest with you. That's the whole point.
Won't flash your ECU
No risky reprogramming or tuning. MECH AI reads, explains, and tells you what’s genuinely safe to DIY — and what isn’t.
Will tell you to go to a shop
Sometimes the job needs a lift, special tools, or the $1,200 quote is simply fair. When it is, MECH AI says so — and what the shop should charge.
No fake counts, no upsell scripts
Real reviews, honest answers, and the only number we claim is 100K+ downloads. Cancel anytime — no calls, no retention scripts.
New · OBD2 Bluetooth (BLE) & WiFi reader in the iOS/Android app (read-only, no flashing) · Coming soon · MECH Care adaptive service plans

“I've been dealing with a difficult-to-diagnose CEL — mechanics wouldn't listen, dealer service wouldn't listen. I lost hope until this AI. We bounced ideas back and forth, helped me diagnose and confirm with utmost accuracy what was causing it.”

“Love it — worth paying for. But even just the free version is great. Very helpful, very detailed. No need to worry whether or not the guy at the parts store knows anything about mechanics.”

“Entertaining and VERY helpful with any questions concerning engine mechanics. Wiring/parts diagrams, parts/tool finder, diagnostics, repair guides, OBD decoder, & more. For DIY mechanics, this app is a no-brainer.”

“This is the future we need. I work as a mechanic for a reputable worldwide company. It's been able to correctly diagnose the exact problem first. Also gives me other possible issues to fix that can cause the problem I had.”

FAQ
Answers, up front.
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 calls, no retention scripts.
