Use AI to translate technical diagnostic codes and scan tool results into plain language for customers.
When your scan tool spits out codes like P0420 or B1352, customers have no idea what that means. Instead of trying to remember how to explain every code in simple terms, let AI do the translation for you. Just paste the code and a quick description of what you found, and AI will write a clear, jargon-free explanation you can use in your repair order or when talking to the customer. This works great when you're writing up a diagnostic report or need to explain why a check engine light is on. You'll sound more professional, the customer will actually understand what's wrong, and you'll save time not having to think through the explanation yourself.

“I'm an auto mechanic writing a repair estimate for a customer. I found diagnostic code P0171 on their 2015 Honda Accord, which means the engine is running too lean on bank 1. Write a simple 2-3 sentence explanation I can include in the estimate that a non-technical customer will understand. Don't use technical terms like 'air-fuel ratio' or 'fuel trim.'”
