AI Mechanic for iPhone · For drivers and for the trade
Describe the problem. Get a straight answer.
The app tells you what is most likely wrong, whether it is safe to drive, roughly what a UK garage would charge, and which small jobs you could do yourself. Then it finds a Fixaroo garage near you and fills in their enquiry form with the problem already written up.

Questions? Get in touchEvery answer starts with one of three verdicts
- Stop now
- Do not drive it. Brakes, steering, smoke, overheating and red warning lights always land here, whatever else the AI thinks.
- Drive carefully
- Fine for a careful trip to a garage, but get it looked at soon.
- OK to drive
- Not urgent. Book it in when it suits you.
For drivers
Know what you are dealing with before you ring a garage.
- Likely causes, ranked, each explained in plain English.
- Is it safe to drive? A straight answer first, before anything else.
- Typical UK cost ranges, so a quote does not come as a shock.
- Do it yourself, or not: step-by-step help only for small jobs that suit your skill level. Safety-critical work is always left to a garage.
For the trade
A second opinion at the bench.
- Fault-finding steps in a sensible order, with expected readings where they are standard.
- Likely parts to have in mind before you strip anything down.
- Labour-time estimates to sanity-check a job before you quote it.
- Work plans for the job sheet.Coming soon
An AI estimate, not an inspection.
AI Mechanic, on the web or in the app, works only from what you describe. It cannot see, hear or test your car, so it never claims to be certain, and it is not a substitute for an MOT or a mechanic looking at the car. Costs are estimates, not quotes.
If you are in danger or broken down on a motorway, get yourself to a safe place first and call 999 or your breakdown provider.
