AI Diagnostic Scanner: Identify Vehicle Problems From a Photo
Upload a photo of a dashboard warning light, fluid leak, or damaged part — AI identifies the problem and estimates repair costs instantly.
What If Your Phone Could Diagnose Your Car?
We've all been there: a mysterious warning light appears on the dashboard, you hear an unusual noise, or you spot a puddle under your vehicle. Your first instinct is to Google it — but generic search results don't account for YOUR specific vehicle.
Repairius's AI Diagnostic Scanner changes that. Upload a photo, describe what's happening, and get an AI-powered diagnosis in seconds.
How It Works
Step 1: Capture the Problem
Take a photo of:
- Dashboard warning lights — Check engine, ABS, oil pressure, temperature, etc.
- Fluid leaks — The AI identifies fluid type by color and location
- Visible damage — Worn brake pads, cracked belts, corroded battery terminals
- Tire issues — Uneven wear patterns, sidewall damage, tread depth
Step 2: Add Context
Describe any symptoms:
- "Grinding noise when braking"
- "Car pulls to the right"
- "Engine stalls at idle"
- "Smoke from exhaust on startup"
Step 3: Get Your Diagnosis
The AI returns:
- Primary diagnosis with confidence level
- Severity rating (low, medium, high, critical)
- Estimated repair cost range
- Urgency recommendation — can you drive safely or should you tow?
- What to tell your mechanic — specific talking points
The Technology Behind It
The diagnostic scanner uses multimodal AI (Google Gemini) that can analyze both images and text simultaneously. It's trained on:
- Thousands of vehicle diagnostic scenarios
- OBD-II code databases
- Manufacturer-specific common failure patterns
- Real-world repair data
It's not a replacement for a professional mechanic, but it gives you a reliable starting point — so you walk into the shop informed, not anxious.
Use Cases
For Drivers & Fleet Managers
- Get an instant second opinion before visiting a shop
- Understand the severity — is this a "drive to the shop" or "call a tow truck" situation?
- Estimate costs so you're not caught off guard
- Document issues over time with photos
For Shops & Technicians
- Speed up initial vehicle assessments
- Use AI insights to confirm visual inspections
- Generate customer-facing explanations of issues
- Streamline the diagnostic-to-estimate workflow
Real-World Example
Scenario: A fleet manager notices a green puddle under one of their delivery vans.
AI Diagnosis:
- Primary: Coolant leak (93% confidence)
- Likely cause: Failed water pump or cracked coolant hose
- Severity: Medium-High — continued driving risks engine overheating
- Estimated repair: $150-$600 depending on component
- Recommendation: Schedule repair within 48 hours; monitor temperature gauge
That's actionable intelligence in 10 seconds — no phone calls, no waiting.
