Live dials, a windscreen HUD, sat-nav that knows the limit, and a straight-talking AI mechanic. It runs on the same cheap OBD-II adapter you might already have in a drawer.
No subscription. The dials, dashboards and code reading are free. The AI mechanic runs on top-ups you spend only when you actually use it.
OBD Mechanic is in closed testing on Google Play. Two links and an install. The group step is Google's rule, not ours. After that, updates arrive like any other app.
Android only for now. Demo mode works the moment it installs, no adapter and no car. For the live-car stuff you'll want an adapter: the one from your last code-reader app will do fine, and if you've never owned one, a £10 plug online sorts it.
Free intro looks
your first AI quick look and first glovebox fill-in are on the house.
Every petrol car since about 2001 (and diesels since around 2004) speaks OBD-II. Plug an adapter into the port and the app turns that stream into something worth looking at.
Revs, speed, temps, boost, voltage, load, throttle and more. Your car's real numbers, moving in real time.


A good mechanic sees how separate symptoms connect. So does this one: your codes, your live sensor data and your exact car, read together.

These three aren't separate problems — they point to one cause. Both banks reading lean and a random misfire usually means unmetered air getting in past the sensor.
A lean code like this is very often a cracked hose you can spot by eye. Want me to take a look before we go deeper?
A head-up display on your windscreen, sat-nav that takes speed limits seriously, and a co-driver's eye for anything going wrong.
Phone flat on the dash, glowing dials mirror-flipped onto the glass. At night it reads like factory kit.

Turn-by-turn with spoken directions. Speed can read from the car itself or from GPS, whichever you trust more.

Recording starts with the connection, because by the time you know something's wrong, the drive that showed it is over. Drives stay on your phone; the AI only sees what you choose to send it.

Your phone stays the brain. A cheap Android head unit or a spare tablet becomes a second display, drawing your live dials over WiFi.

Full-screen instrument clusters, every dial wired to your real data. These are screen recordings of the app itself, running its demo drive: 0 to 83 and back.
Spanners 🔧 are the app's currency. Top up once, spend them only when you actually ask the AI mechanic for a diagnosis. No subscription, and they never expire.
A diagnosis is saved forever. The intended loop is one good look and one fix, not a subscription drip.
AI still costs spanners per use. Premium is one payment, no renewals. What you unlock stays yours.
The app talks to your car through the OBD-II port, standard on petrol cars since 2001 and diesels since around 2004.
The mechanic has written up the codes people actually search for: what they really mean, the cheap causes before the dear ones, and which dials to watch. Free to read, no app needed.
P0420, P0171, P0300 and more, each with live example dials.
No jargon. Just what's wrong and what to do about it.
No ads, no tracking, no data selling. The privacy policy reads in two minutes.
Pay per look, keep the app. Spanners never expire.
Built in Scotland, tested on real motors with real faults.
