## What is MechanicAI?

Your car is trying to tell you something — now you can understand it.

MechanicAI turns your check engine light into a clear answer. Plug in any Bluetooth OBD-II adapter, scan your car, and get an AI-powered explanation of what's wrong, how serious it is, what the fair repair cost should be, and what to do next.

WHAT YOU GET
• Instant lookup of 5,000+ diagnostic trouble codes — works offline
• AI-powered analysis tailored to your specific vehicle (year, make, model)
• Safety-critical alerts for brake, airbag, steering, and fuel system faults
• Repair cost estimates based on national averages
• Plain-English explanations — no jargon, no guessing
• Scan history stored on your device

PRICING
• MechanicAI Standard — $2.99 one-time: unlocks the full 5,000+ code database, 5 AI diagnostic scans per month, safety alerts, and scan history
• MechanicAI Pro — $3.99 / month: unlimited AI diagnostics, AI follow-up chat, live data dashboard with 220+ parameters, full scan history, repair cost estimates, and parts links

COMPATIBILITY
Works with any Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) OBD-II adapter using the ELM327 protocol — including the OBDLink CX (~$50) and budget adapters from $15. All 1996+ gasoline and diesel vehicles in the US and Canada are supported, plus most hybrids.

IMPORTANT
MechanicAI is an informational tool. It is not a substitute for professional mechanical inspection. Always have safety-critical issues inspected by a qualified mechanic.
