The Challenge

Mobile mechanics are drowning in fragmented data.

  • Torque specs scattered across subscriptions, forums, and paper manuals
  • VIN lookup tools that give generic — not build-specific — values
  • Diagnosis by guesswork, not ranked and sourced evidence
  • Hours wasted cross-referencing OEM vs aftermarket part numbers
  • No single place for live fault codes, specs, and parts together
  • Quote generation done manually in Word or on paper
The Solution

AutoBro: every tool a mechanic needs, in one tab.

  • VIN-decoded specs — exact year, make, model, engine, drivetrain
  • Step-by-step job cards with torque values, tool sizes, and fluid specs
  • Source-cited guided diagnosis with ranked causes and test procedures
  • Live part sourcing with OEM and aftermarket cross-references
  • Web Bluetooth OBD-II scanner for live ECU data and fault codes
  • Professional quote generation with printable GST-inclusive output
Platform Features

Everything a mechanic needs.
Built by someone who gets it.

Not a generic data aggregator — a purpose-built mechanic workflow, from VIN to invoice.

🔍

VIN Decoding

Pull exact year, make, model, engine, and drivetrain from a VIN or manual make/model search. All specs downstream are locked to the exact build — no generic data.

Build-Accurate
🔧

AI Job Cards

Step-by-step workshop cards with torque specs (Nm & lb-ft), tightening sequences, socket sizes, special tools, and fluid capacities — referenced to the specific vehicle build.

Source-Cited · Printable
🩺

Guided Fault Diagnosis

Interactive Q&A diagnostic workflow. Symptom-driven ranked causes, confirming test procedures, and repair steps — each tagged Verified, Likely, or Unverified with source.

Evidence-Tiered
🚨

DTC Fault Code Lookup

Enter any OBD-II, body, chassis, or network fault code. Returns ranked causes, severity (Critical / Moderate / Advisory), confirming tests, typical fixes, and related codes.

P · B · C · U Codes
🛒

Live Part Sourcing

Cross-reference OEM part numbers against aftermarket matches. Compare live supplier pricing inline with the job card — no switching tabs to find the part you need.

OEM + Aftermarket · Live Pricing
⚡

Wiring Pinout Guide

Electrical pinouts, wire colours, and circuit functions for specific vehicle components. Targeted to the exact year, make, model, and engine — no generic diagrams.

Component-Specific
📡

Live OBD-II Scanner

Web Bluetooth BLE connection to a compatible OBD-II adapter. Live telemetry displayed as real-time charts: RPM, speed, coolant temp, MAF, fuel pressure, O2 voltage, and more.

🎙️

Voice Input & TTS

Dictate VIN searches or symptom descriptions hands-free with verified accuracy. Listen to job card steps read aloud — keep eyes on the vehicle, not the screen. Fully on-device, no external APIs.

Verified Accurate · Hands-Free
📝

Community Field Notes

Log and share trade-reported fixes tied to specific vehicles. Moderated before publishing. The knowledge base mechanics actually want — built and verified by mechanics.

Crowd-Sourced · Moderated
📂

Saved Job Cards

Save any job card with personal notes. Return to a vehicle's history on your next visit — vehicle, VIN, job notes, and specs all preserved and instantly accessible.

🧾

Quote Generator

Build a professional quote from the job card's parts and labour. Auto-calculates subtotal, GST, and total. Printable output ready for the customer — no separate tool needed.

Print-Ready · GST-Inclusive
⏱️

Job Timer

Start a timer when you begin a job. Track labour time against the job card for accurate billing. Runs in background as you navigate through the rest of the app.

Labour Tracking
Workflow

From VIN to invoice in one session.

Designed around the actual mechanic's workflow — not around what's convenient for a data provider.

AI & Evidence Transparency

No hallucinations.
Every claim is sourced.

AutoBro's AI engine uses a strict evidence-tiered architecture. Every cause, test procedure, and repair step is classified and tagged with its source — so mechanics never act on invented model-specific data.

A full citations transparency panel is visible on every diagnosis result, showing exactly which sources informed each recommendation. This is a deliberate design choice — not an afterthought.

✓ Verified

OEM-Sourced

Directly sourced from manufacturer service manuals, TSBs, or official repair documentation.

~ Likely

Field-Corroborated

Supported by trade-reported field notes, professional forums, or multiple independent sources.

? Unverified

Possible — Use Caution

Plausible based on system logic but lacking confirmed source documentation for this specific build.

Technology Stack
