WrenchSage, the shop-floor diagnostic second opinion
An AI assistant for repair shops that reads fault codes, checks a shop's previous fixes, and challenges questionable diagnostic assumptions.
- For
- Automotive repair-shop technicians and team leaders
- Worth noticing
- The example treats +15% idle fuel trim as lean against an approximately ±10% normal range.
Field notes
The described workflow begins with a photo of a scanner screen and asks the system to read the code back before using it, addressing transcription errors as well as diagnosis. The page also says the assistant retains each shop's confirmed fixes and uses make-and-model context rather than treating codes as universal. A sample P0171 exchange illustrates the checking behavior by disputing a technician's interpretation of a +15% idle fuel-trim reading.
