Auto Mechanic & Code Reader

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Check engine light on? Snap a photo and get AI repair guidance. MechanicIQ helps you understand what's broken and whether to DIY or call a pro. Weird noise coming from somewhere? Yeah, we've all been there... staring at a problem with no idea what to do next except pay someone way too much money. Start your diagnostics with MechanicIQ. MechanicIQ is the AI mechanic in your pocket. Type in your error code, take a picture or describe what's happening with your car — weird noise, won't start, runs rough — and get an actual diagnosis. No hardware required. Just answers. HOW IT WORKS Got a code? Type it in (P0420, P0300, whatever). MechanicIQ explains what it means, what causes it, how serious it is, and what the fix costs. No code? Describe the problem. "Car makes grinding noise when I brake" or "won't start, just clicks" — AI figures out likely causes and walks you through diagnosis. DIY or shop? We help you understand if it could be a weekend project or if you could need a professional. WHAT WE HELP WITH - Check engine codes: P0xxx, B0xxx, C0xxx, U0xxx — all of them explained - Starting problems: Won't start, slow crank, clicks but nothing happens - Noises: Grinding, squeaking, knocking, rattling — what they could mean - Leaks: Oil, coolant, transmission fluid — identify by color and location - Maintenance: Oil changes, filters, spark plugs, brake pads, timing belts -Cost estimates: Know what you should pay before you get quoted NO HARDWARE REQUIRED MechanicIQ works with just your phone. Already have the code from AutoZone or your scanner? Great, type it in. Don't have anything? Describe the symptoms. We estimate what could be the issue. STOP GETTING RIPPED OFF The shop says you need a $800 repair. Is that real? MechanicIQ helps you understand what could be wrong, what parts cost, and what labor should run. Knowledge is leverage. USEFUL FEATURES - AI-powered code lookup and explanation - Symptom-based diagnosis - Repair cost estimates (parts + labor) - DIY difficulty assessment - Works with any make and model - No hardware or Bluetooth adapter needed Your car is trying to tell you something.
