Description

AutoDiag is a practical offline tool for mechanics. It includes the most common OBD-II error codes with causes, symptoms and diagnostic steps, plus engine codes from the vehicle registration document (P.5 field). For each engine code it shows the main car models and recommended timing tools with purchase links. It also has a local AI assistant to help interpret codes quickly. No subscription required.

Could you build this?

Partial The offline mobile app shell is simple, but the value is gated by comprehensive, accurate automotive diagnostic databases connecting engine codes to timing tools and procedures.

What it would actually take: The app is a local SQLite/Room database wrapper built in Flutter or React Native, but requires proprietary or meticulously curated automotive data mapping OEM engine codes (P.5) to vehicle models and specialized tooling kits. Sourcing, verifying, and structuring this automotive mechanical data requires specialized mechanical engineering domain knowledge or commercial licensing (e.g., Autodata/HaynesPro). Without accurate proprietary data, the app is practically useless to professional mechanics.
