Could you build this?
Partial The chat-style diagnosis and paywall are easy to vibe-code, but the answers' accuracy, cost estimates and safety calls depend on real automotive diagnostic knowledge that an LLM alone won't reliably supply.
What it would actually take: The app is an LLM interface with a payment gate, but a credible version needs a curated knowledge base of symptoms, failure modes, repair procedures and regional labor and parts pricing. Safety judgments need review by ASE-certified technicians. Building that content and validating it is the hard part, not the code.
