Could you build this?

No The product is physical robotics that performs vehicle maintenance in service bays, which requires hardware engineering, mechanical design, and computer vision far beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: Building a real version needs robotic manipulators and mobile bases engineered for working under vehicles, sensors and perception for fluids, tires, and electronics, and safety-certified control software. It also needs a fleet operations backend and integrations with shop management systems. This requires a multidisciplinary robotics team with mechanical, electrical, and controls expertise, plus substantial capital for hardware iteration and deployment.
