What is Home Mechanic Pro?

Home Mechanic Pro is an AI-powered mobile app that helps home mechanics diagnose vehicle issues, locate problems on their car, and walk through repairs step by step. It tracks the tools in your garage, sources parts, and even recommends nearby shops when a repair is over your head.
The app learns your skill level over time, so the guidance gets better and more personalized the more you use it. No more 4-hour surprises on what should be a 1-hour job. No more guessing which tool you need or where your master cylinder is.

Key Features

AI-Powered Diagnostics: Identify vehicle issues and get guided, step-by-step repair instructions tailored to your skill level.
Tool Tracking: The app remembers what's in your garage so it only recommends repairs you're equipped to handle.
Parts Sourcing: Find the right parts without the guesswork.
Shop Finder: When a repair is beyond DIY, Home Mechanic Pro points you to nearby professionals.
Repair History: Every repair is logged so you have a full maintenance record for your vehicle.
Adaptive Learning: The AI learns your abilities over time and adjusts its guidance accordingly.

My Role

I built Home Mechanic Pro solo, handling all development, UI design, and UX design. The project was originally called Garage CoPilot (which is still reflected in the GitHub repo name) before being rebranded to Home Mechanic Pro.

Project Status

Home Mechanic Pro is currently in active development and not yet publicly released. The app is being polished for an eventual launch.
