Top 5 Frequently Asked Questions
A simple diagnostic scan with an OBD2 scanner at a repair shop averages $150.
However, by utilizing student mechanics combined with our AI analysis system, we can drastically reduce costs while maintaining diagnostic quality.
Chief Mechanic’s goal is to provide precise diagnostics while reducing the financial burden on the customer.
We haven't just lowered the price. Engine sounds, interior/exterior conditions, driving data, and OBD info recorded by field mechanics are analyzed first by AI, and then finalized by expert mechanics with over 10 years of experience.
It is a double-safety system: AI Precision Analysis + Expert Double Check.
CarFax is a document that only checks accident history and ownership information ($30). However, CarFax does not show the vehicle's current real-time condition (Engine, Transmission, Suspension, Electrical).
Chief Mechanic inspects the actual state of the vehicle to identify immediate failure risks that CarFax cannot tell you.
Traditional PPIs usually cost $150-$300, are hard to book, and take a long time.
We offer immediate inspection by student mechanics, collecting all data (Photos, Video, Sound, OBD) for fast AI analysis followed by a final Expert check.
This provides the fastest and most accurate PPI. You can apply from anywhere via mobile.
You can never know the condition of a used car just by looking at the exterior. Chief Mechanic offers:
- Verifying actual conditions CarFax misses
- Over 70% cheaper than shop diagnostics
- Early detection of hidden issues via AI
- Final verification by expert mechanics
- Drastically reducing the risk of a bad purchase
In short, it is the best solution to secure maximum safety for minimum cost.
