Mechora’s AI-generated diagnostics, explanations, and guidance are informational only. They are not professional mechanical advice and should not replace a qualified inspection by a licensed mechanic.

AI Diagnostic Results

Mechora uses large-language-model AI (OpenAI and/or Anthropic) to generate possible diagnoses based on symptoms, OBD-II codes, and vehicle information you provide. These outputs:

Are probabilistic — the top-ranked cause may not be the actual cause of your issue.
Cannot account for the physical condition of your specific vehicle.
May be incomplete, inaccurate, or inapplicable to your situation.
Are not a substitute for hands-on diagnosis by a qualified mechanic.

Not Professional Advice

Nothing in the Mechora application, website, or communications constitutes professional mechanical, safety, or legal advice. Always consult a licensed professional before making decisions that affect the safety or operation of your vehicle.

Assumption of Risk

By using Mechora you acknowledge and accept that:

Vehicle repair and maintenance carries inherent risk of injury, property damage, and financial loss.
You assume full responsibility for any repair, maintenance, or driving decisions you make based on information from Mechora.
Mechora LLC, its officers, employees, and agents are not liable for any damage, injury, or loss arising from reliance on Mechora’s outputs.

OBD-II Codes & Check Engine Lights

OBD-II code explanations on Mechora are general educational descriptions. The same code can have different root causes depending on the vehicle, its history, and its condition. Always verify any diagnosis with a qualified technician before performing repairs.

Driving Safety

If your check engine light is flashing or blinking, or if you notice unusual vehicle behavior (smoke, severe vibration, loss of power), stop driving as soon as it is safe to do so and seek professional assistance immediately. Never rely solely on an app to determine whether a vehicle is safe to drive.

Cost Estimates

Any repair cost estimates provided by Mechora are approximate and based on general market data. Actual costs vary significantly by region, vehicle make/model, labor rates, and parts availability. Obtain quotes from licensed repair shops before authorizing any work.
