AI diagnosis & repair guides
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Diagnose car problems with JAX and get a clear repair plan with costs, tools, parts and safety guidance. Built for drivers and DIYers — no OBD adapter needed for chat.
Diagnose car problems with JAX and get a clear repair plan you can follow. HoodHero helps drivers and DIYers understand symptoms, assess likely causes, and find the next step — with repair guides, costs, tools, parts and safety advice in one place.
UNDERSTAND FAULTS WITH JAX
Describe what you hear, see or feel. JAX asks follow-up questions and uses your vehicle details to narrow down likely causes. See a diagnostic confidence rating and a clear explanation of what to do next. Add photos or use voice input when it is easier than typing. No OBD adapter is needed for the AI diagnosis chat.
GET A REPAIR PLAN YOU CAN FOLLOW
Turn the diagnosis into a vehicle-linked repair guide with step-by-step instructions, estimated DIY or repair-shop costs, difficulty, parts, tools and safety guidance. Save the diagnosis and return to it later.
KEEP YOUR VEHICLES AND RECORDS ORGANISED
Store vehicle details, service history, repair records and maintenance reminders together. Record completed work, costs, receipts and before, during and after photos. Create PDF records and proof packs with an eligible plan.
LOOK UP YOUR VEHICLE
Use VIN lookup where supported, including UK, US and Canadian vehicle sources. UK drivers can also use registration lookup and available DVSA MOT history. Coverage and returned details depend on the vehicle, region and data provider.
OBD-II SCANNING
Read supported fault codes with a compatible Bluetooth OBD-II adapter and keep scan evidence with the vehicle. An adapter is required for scanning and is sold separately. Compatibility varies by adapter, vehicle and phone. AI diagnosis chat does not require an adapter.
GARAGE PRO ALSO INCLUDES MECHANIC DESK
Garage Pro includes access to HoodHero Mechanic Desk, a separate desktop web workspace for workshop jobs, customers, quotes, invoices, team workflows and proof packs. Mechanic Desk is separate from the mobile app and currently available in English only. Availability and provider integrations vary by region.
MEMBERSHIP AND SAFETY
An active membership is required for the app's main features. Features and usage allowances depend on your plan. Check the in-app membership screen for current plans, prices and terms.
AI guidance and cost estimates can be wrong and do not replace a qualified mechanic or physical inspection. For safety-critical faults, stop safely and seek professional help.
