The Problem

Repair info is scattered, generic, and out of date.

Forums disagree, YouTube tutorials are for the wrong year and trim, and the dealer wants $150/hr just to look at it. Most drivers give up before they even start.

"The forum says five different things"

Generic advice for "most cars" doesn't account for your exact year, trim, or engine.

📺

"This video isn't even my model"

Tutorials built for a different generation can send you down the wrong path entirely.

💸

"$150 just for the diagnosis"

Shop labor adds up fast — even for jobs that take an hour with the right steps.

How it works

From "what's that noise" to fixed.

repAIr: Garage walks you through the whole job — diagnosis, parts, and the actual wrench work — without a trip to the shop.

1

Add your vehicle

Enter it manually, look it up by VIN, or snap a photo of the VIN and let repAIr read it.

2

Search any part

Describe the issue or name the part. repAIr identifies the right component for your exact vehicle.

3

Get a repair guide

A step-by-step guide generated for your vehicle and part — with safety warnings and timing built in.

Why DIY

No hidden labor charges.

Labor is where it adds up. AAA's 2026 survey puts shop labor at $75–$125 an hour at independent shops and $125–$175 at dealerships, and mobile services stack a convenience markup on top. repAIr: Garage hands you the knowledge to do the same job yourself — for the cost of the parts alone. You paid for the car. Stop paying strangers to maintain it.

Who it's for

Built for people who turn their own wrenches.

Whether you're saving for a project car or just don't trust the quote you got — repAIr meets you where you are.

The Weekend Mechanic

You've done brakes before. Now do it faster.

You're comfortable with a socket set and a Saturday afternoon — you just don't have the time to relearn bolt patterns and remember which tools you'll need every time.

  • Tool list generated before you start — no mid-job parts runs
  • Maintenance log so you remember what you did and when
🔧
The First-Timer DIYer

Never changed a part before? Start here.

The dashboard light came on, the quote felt insane, and YouTube has 40 versions of "how to" — none for your exact car. repAIr gives you one guide, written for your vehicle.

  • Plain-language steps with safety warnings up front
  • Difficulty rating before you commit to the job
  • Live session tracker so you never lose your place
🧰
The Hobbyist

Multiple cars, one garage that remembers all of them.

Project car, daily driver, the truck you're restoring on weekends — keep every vehicle's parts, videos, and repair history in one place, switchable in a tap.

  • Unlimited vehicles with per-vehicle history
  • Saved tutorials and favorited videos, organized by car
  • Door jamb decode for precise part matching

Join the beta

Help us build the best garage app.

We're inviting DIYers and pro mechanics to test repAIr: Garage before it hits the stores.

Hey! Thanks for testing out my app! I built it from the ground up because I got tired of running around like a chicken with no head guessing my way through repairs, wrong parts and dead ends on YouTube. I'm not a mechanic, just a regular person who just wants to save money and be independent.

So here is the deal: you get free Pro access for the whole beta, and I'll read what you send me (really). All I ask is that you use this on a real repair and tell me where it helped and where it flopped. I may reach out to you directly to watch how you use it. As long as you are cool with that no pressure!

Fill out this form and if selected I'll send you the link, just download and follow the onboarding to add your vehicle. Snap a picture of a part or select troubleshoot to get started. Once you have that searched up, check out the cost comparison — DIY vs Mechanic. If you choose to fix it yourself it will search up YouTube videos, tools, parts and pull up the step by step repair guide. Follow the steps, see how it works and give us feedback!

Thank you for being a tester and I look forward to hearing from you.

We'll only email you about the beta. No spam, ever.

You're on the list!

Thanks for signing up. We'll email you an invite as testing spots open up.
