Rev, the AI mechanic

A mechanic who has read your car’s whole history.

2016 Golf 1.6 TDI · 142,300 km

Rattle from the front left over bumps, worse when it’s cold.

On a Golf at this mileage, worn front anti-roll bar links are the usual cause. Your history shows no suspension work yet.

Check first

  1. The front anti-roll bar links
  2. Then the strut top mounts

From your history, mileage and engine

Demo garage. The conversation is an example.

    Every answer starts from your history, mileage and exact engine.

  • Asks before it writes

GarageHub on iPhone, Rev chat for a 2018 Honda Civic Si: the owner asks whether brakes that squeal for a couple of minutes after a cold start are a worry. Rev checks the brake history first (pads and rotors, brake fluid six weeks ago), explains the squeal is surface rust burning off the rotors, lists when to book it in, and gives its verdict: normal, nothing to fix today.GarageHub on iPhone, Rev chat for a 2018 Honda Civic Si: the owner asks whether brakes that squeal for a couple of minutes after a cold start are a worry.

GarageHub on iPhone, Rev chat for a 2007 Suzuki SV650: the owner lists the previous owner’s receipts, and Rev drafts five logs (fork oil and seals, battery, brake fluid flush and more) that are not saved until reviewed, then says the 23-month-old fork oil is the one job to plan this winter.GarageHub on iPhone, Rev chat for a 2007 Suzuki SV650: the owner lists the previous owner’s receipts, and Rev drafts five logs (fork oil and seals, battery, brake fluid flush and more) that are not saved until reviewed, then says the 23-month-old fork oil is the one job to plan this winter.

Your file

It answers from your garage, not from a guess.

Everything you add to GarageHub, Rev can read. Nothing extra to set up.

The car

Year, make, model and engine. Scan the VIN and it fills itself in.

The odometer

Every reading from services, fill-ups and updates, so “due soon” matches how you really drive.

The history

Every job you’ve logged, with the date, mileage, cost and parts.

The shelf

The parts you already own, so it won't send you out to buy them twice.

What’s next

Your Up Next list, in the order things are due.

What Rev won’t do

Honest about the limits.

  • No hands-on steps for airbags, high voltage or high-pressure fuel lines, only where to take the car. Brakes and jacking get the precautions first.
  • Rev is an AI and says so at the start of every conversation. It tells you when advice is general rather than sourced for your car.
  • When Rev quotes a spec, it says where the number came from, so you can check it.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

You can, for general questions. What it doesn't have is your car's file: the mileage, what you did last spring, the parts already on your shelf. Rev keeps that file and answers from it, and it can write what you tell it back into your records.

Does Rev change my records without asking?

No. When Rev wants to log a job, add an item or set a reminder, it shows you what it will save. Nothing is written until you confirm.

Can an AI diagnose car problems from a photo?

Yes. Snap the leak, the worn part or the warning light, and Rev suggests likely causes and how urgent it is, for your vehicle and mileage. Treat it as a second opinion and check safety-critical work against your service manual.

Is the AI mechanic free?

Yes. The free plan covers one vehicle, 15 Rev messages, 30 photo or receipt analyses and 3 research guides a month. Premium ($9.99/mo or $79.99/yr) makes them unlimited and adds unlimited vehicles.

What cars does the AI mechanic support?

Rev covers 5,900+ car and motorcycle models from 155+ manufacturers — 1940 to today. This includes popular makes like Toyota, Honda, Ford, BMW, and Subaru, plus classics and project builds.
