Upload a photo of any car part. Get an instant AI diagnosis, repair cost estimate, and expert recommendations — for less than a cup of coffee.
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 🙏
One thing that would really help is adding a way to track repair history for each car over time. So I could upload the same brake pad photo in six months and see how wear progressed, or check what fixes were recommended last visit. Would make it way more useful as an ongoing tool instead of a one-time check.
@ceylinarbaivif This means a lot, thank you for taking the time to write it out. I actually already have scan history in the app so you can look back at past diagnoses, but the piece you're describing (linking repeat scans of the same part to show wear progression, and surfacing what was recommended last time) isn't built yet. That's a genuinely great idea and exactly the kind of thing that makes Recume something people keep coming back to instead of a one time check. Adding it to the roadmap, really appreciate you pointing this out 🙏
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 right away, even gave me a rough price range. Way easier than scrolling through forums trying to figure out what's wrong.
@ersinyzak1i75 Appreciate you trying it out man! Glad it saved you the forum rabbit hole 🙌 let me know if you run into anything else you want it to nail down.
Snapped a pic of my weird rattling exhaust and it nailed the issue in seconds, even threw in a rough cost range that matched what my mechanic quoted. Honestly didn't expect it to be that spot on for the price.
@zcanyelkenzudp That's awesome to hear love that it matched your mechanic's quote too, that's exactly the trust we're going for. Thanks for giving it a shot
snapped a pic of my weird rattling thing under the hood and it actually nailed what was wrong, plus gave a realistic price range. kind of wish i had this before my last shop visit honestly
@krakazmanl9ssd Ha, love that. Glad it caught it before your last shop visit's sequel
