Just like Shazam for music, our app listens to your car and uses advanced acoustic AI to diagnose mechanical problems instantly.

Hear a strange ticking, knocking, or squealing? Don't wait for the "Check Engine" light or a costly mechanic bill. Record the sound, and let our AI analyze the mechanical friction and vibrations to identify the exact issue.

KEY FEATURES:
• Instant Acoustic Scan: Record your engine running and get an immediate diagnostic report.
• Accurate Repair Estimates: Know the likely problem and approximate repair cost before visiting a repair shop. Avoid mechanic scams.
• 7-Day Health Tracker: Monitor your engine's acoustic health daily to catch micro-wear before it becomes a catastrophic failure.
• Rod Knock vs. Lifter Tick: Accurately distinguish between minor top-end noise and fatal bottom-end engine damage.
• No Hardware Needed: A powerful alternative to OBD2 scanners for physical engine wear. No Bluetooth dongles or cables required.

HOW IT WORKS:

Open the app, hold your phone near the engine, and record the noise.

The AI analyzes the audio signature against thousands of known mechanical failures.

Receive a simple, easy-to-understand breakdown of the issue.
