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. 1

    Identify your vehicle

    UK registration lookup, or manual entry for drivers anywhere in the world.

  2. 2

    Tell us what's wrong

    Describe symptoms, warning lights, noises or starting problems in your own words.

  3. 3

    Add evidence

    Optional OBD codes, photos, video or engine sounds.

  4. 4

    Answer a few questions

    AutoFix asks targeted follow-up questions chosen for your vehicle and symptom.

  5. 5

    Narrow down possible causes

    You get possible causes, safe checks and the next diagnostic step for each one.

  6. 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.
