OBDAssistant solves the confusion after a check engine light. Most OBD2 apps show raw fault codes, but drivers still don’t know how serious the issue is, what caused it, or what to check next.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Chris, a mobile mechanic from New Zealand and the solo maker behind OBDAssistant.
I built OBDAssistant to solve a problem I saw constantly as a mechanic:
A driver gets a check engine light, plugs in a scanner, sees a fault code… and still has no real idea what is wrong.
Most OBD2 apps show data. OBDAssistant explains it.
It helps solve 5 key problems:
🔧 “What does this fault code actually mean?”
⚠️ “Is this urgent or can I keep driving?”
🧠 “What are the most likely causes?”
📊 “Do the live sensor readings support the fault?”
📝 “How do I explain this clearly to a mechanic or buyer?”
OBDAssistant connects through an OBD2 adapter and uses AI to turn diagnostic data into plain-English answers, severity guidance, likely causes, live data context, and clear next steps.
The goal is simple: make car diagnostics less confusing, less stressful, and more useful for everyday drivers, DIY owners, used car buyers, and mechanics who want faster summaries.
I’d really value feedback on whether the problem and value are clear — especially from people who have dealt with confusing car faults before.
