Pop the Hood

Track maintenance, scan receipts, manage parts & get AI diagnostics for your car

Features & Capabilities

Pop the Hood puts everything you need to stay on top of vehicle maintenance in one beautifully dark-themed app. Whether you drive one car or manage a whole fleet, this is your personal mechanic's notebook — with an AI brain.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE'S HEALTH AT A GLANCE
Every vehicle gets a Health Score — a letter grade from A to F — based on oil life, service history, and open recalls. The dashboard shows you exactly what's due, what's overdue, and what's coming up next, sorted by urgency so you never miss a critical service.

AI MECHANIC — YOUR POCKET DIAGNOSTICIAN
Describe a symptom and our AI Mechanic delivers up to three possible diagnoses tailored to your exact year, make, model, and trim — even factoring in modifications you've logged. It then points you to vehicle-specific forums so you can dig deeper.

TRACK EVERY SERVICE, EVERY DOLLAR
Log oil changes, brake jobs, tire rotations, and more with full cost breakdowns. Track parts vs. labor, DIY vs. shop, and watch your lifetime savings add up. Export your complete maintenance history as a clean PDF — perfect for resale value or insurance claims.

SCAN RECEIPTS INSTANTLY
Snap a photo of any service receipt or parts store invoice. AI-powered OCR extracts the mileage, cost, and line items automatically, then helps you classify and log them in seconds.

GARAGE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Track every oil filter, quart of fluid, and set of brake pads on your shelf. Set low-stock alerts, scan barcodes to add items, and assign parts to specific vehicles. When you log a service, the app automatically deducts the right parts from your inventory — no manual counting.

SMART SHOPPING LIST
Running low on supplies? The app auto-generates a shopping list from your inventory alerts. Check items off as you buy them and keep your garage stocked and organized.

NEVER MISS A SERVICE
Set custom mileage-based and time-based service intervals for each vehicle. Get push notification reminders before anything comes due — maintenance reminders are completely free, no subscription required.

RECALL ALERTS
Instantly look up open NHTSA recalls for any vehicle. See the affected component, the risk, and the remedy — all inside the app.

WARNING LIGHTS GUIDE
Browse 60+ dashboard warning symbols with severity ratings and clear explanations of what each one means and what to do about it.

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Three native widgets keep you informed without opening the app: a service gauge, a garage status card with your estimated odometer, and a shopping/to-do list — all with deep links back into the app.

VIN SCANNING
Scan the barcode on your registration or windshield and the app auto-fills year, make, model, trim, engine specs, fluid capacities, torque specs, and more.

CLOUD BACKUP & SYNC
Sign in with Google or Apple and your vehicles, maintenance records, inventory, modifications, and images are safely backed up. Restore everything on a new device with one tap.

DIY SAVINGS TRACKER
See exactly how much you've saved by doing your own work. The app compares your parts cost to what a shop would have charged and totals your lifetime labor savings across every vehicle.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
No account required — no email, no sign-up, no strings. All your data lives on your device by default. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we don't track you with analytics. Cloud backup is completely optional and only kicks in if you choose to sign in. Your garage, your rules.

BUILT FOR EVERY DRIVER
Daily Driver, Track Enthusiast, or Project Builder — choose your persona and the app tailors recommendations to match.

Free with one vehicle. Upgrade to Pop the Hood Pro for unlimited vehicles, AI Mechanic, cloud backup, and PDF exports.
