Snapped a pic of my squeaky brake caliper and got a pretty accurate guess within seconds, plus a parts list that actually matched what my mechanic quoted last month. Honestly impressed for the price.

@lyas1068058 That's awesome to hear, especially that it lined up with your mechanic's quote. That's the trust bar I'm aiming for.

honestly really cool idea, would save me so many trips to the mechanic. one thing tho, would be awesome if i could upload a short video or a few photos from different angles since sometimes one pic doesn't really show the full issue. that would probably make the diagnosis way more accurate

@berkaybykklycp Really good point, multi-angle photo/video upload would definitely help with harder-to-diagnose issues. Adding it to the roadmap, thanks for the suggestion!

Snapped a pic of my squeaky belt and it nailed the issue in seconds with a cost range that actually matched what my mechanic quoted last month. Honestly didn't expect the recommendations to be that on point.

the trust angle is smart, especially the story about matching an actual mechanic quote. one question - repair labor costs vary a ton by region and even by country, does the cost estimate localize to where you are, or is it working off a more generic baseline right now?

@galdayan Great question, and honestly a fair one to push on. Right now the estimate is working off a more general baseline, it's not yet localized by region or country. That's a real limitation since labor costs swing a lot depending on where you are. Adding regional/country-level pricing to the roadmap, appreciate you flagging it 🙏

@jvkashwanth fair enough, at least it's honest about the limitation instead of pretending a generic number is precise. glad it's on the roadmap, that alone would make the estimate way more trustworthy for anyone outside the US

@galdayan Appreciate that, and thanks for pushing on it, feedback like this helps me prioritize what to build next. Will make sure it's high up on the list 🙏
