How AutoFix AI works
AutoFix AI works the way a methodical mechanic does: gather the facts, rule things out with simple checks, and only then talk about parts. Here is the whole process.
- 1
Identify your vehicle
UK registration lookup, or manual entry for drivers anywhere in the world.
- 2
Tell us what's wrong
Describe symptoms, warning lights, noises or starting problems in your own words.
- 3
Add evidence
Optional OBD codes, photos, video or engine sounds.
- 4
Answer a few questions
AutoFix asks targeted follow-up questions chosen for your vehicle and symptom.
- 5
Narrow down possible causes
You get possible causes, safe checks and the next diagnostic step for each one.
- 6
Test and update
Use the guided tests and update the diagnosis with what you actually found.
What it can and cannot do
Everything AutoFix AI produces is a set of possible causes to investigate, not a confirmed fault. It cannot inspect, lift or road-test your car.
Safety-critical symptoms such as overheating, weak braking, a red oil-pressure warning, loss of steering or a fuel leak trigger fixed stop-driving advice that the AI cannot soften. Some faults can only be settled by a physical inspection by a qualified mechanic.
