AutoMind is Amazing
Getting Started with AutoMind
What exactly is AutoMind?
AutoMind is the world's first AI mechanic, revolutionising car diagnostics. It's an
innovative app that works with a small device (called a dongle) to read your car's fault
codes. What sets AutoMind apart is its highly trained AI that combines this data with your
car's details and your answers to 10 quick questions. The result? A clear, in-depth
diagnostic report that helps you understand car issues, make informed decisions about
repairs, and potentially save time and money. It's like having an expert mechanic in your
pocket, providing peace of mind whenever you need it.
How does AutoMind work?
When you suspect a car issue, simply plug the AutoMind dongle into your car's
diagnostic port and open the app. AutoMind's sophisticated AI will read the fault codes and
guide you through 10 quick questions about your car's behaviour. It then analyses this
information along with your vehicle's specifics (age, make, model, engine size, fuel type,
and mileage) to generate a comprehensive, easy-to-understand diagnostic report. This
process combines the precision of advanced technology with the personalised touch of an
expert mechanic.
Do I need to be a car expert to use AutoMind?
Not at all! AutoMind is designed to be your personal car expert, so you don't have to be
one. Our AI mechanic translates complex car issues into simple, jargon-free language. You
just need to answer 10 straightforward questions about your car's performance - no
technical knowledge required! It's like having a friendly mechanic explain everything in
terms you can easily understand.
Is my car compatible with AutoMind?
AutoMind is designed to work with a wide range of vehicles. It communicates with your
car through the industry-standard OBD-II technology. All cars manufactured from 2001
onward are compatible, and many models produced before this date will work as well. This
broad compatibility means that AutoMind can bring the benefits of AI-powered diagnostics
to most drivers on the road today, whether you're driving a recent model or a slightly older
vehicle.

Understanding AutoMind's Benefits
How can AutoMind benefit me?
AutoMind is like a guardian angel for your vehicle. It provides peace of mind by giving
you expert-level insights into your car's health, anytime, anywhere. Whether you're
planning a long road trip, commuting to work, heading to an important meeting, or just
doing your daily errands, AutoMind helps you make informed decisions about your car's
safety and necessary repairs. This could potentially save you from dangerous situations,
costly repairs, and the stress of unexpected breakdowns. For families, it means safer
school runs and worry-free holiday travels. For professionals, it ensures you're not left
stranded before that crucial client meeting. And for everyone, it's about keeping your
journeys safe and stress-free, no matter where you're going.
What happens if I don't use AutoMind?
Without AutoMind, you're leaving your car's health to chance. Minor car problems that
could be easily identified and addressed early on might turn into major, costly repairs. You
could find yourself in stressful situations, such as being stranded on the roadside waiting
for assistance, or facing unexpected breakdowns before important journeys. Moreover,
without the knowledge AutoMind provides, you might end up paying for unnecessary
services at a garage, simply because you lack the information to make informed decisions.
AutoMind is your first line of defence against these scenarios, giving you the power to
understand and manage your car's health proactively.
What kind of information does AutoMind's diagnostic report provide?
AutoMind's AI provides a comprehensive report that's like having a conversation with a
trusted mechanic. It explains:
What the issue is in simple, non-technical terms
How different symptoms or fault codes might be related
The urgency of the problem
Whether it's safe to continue driving
What a mechanic should do to fix the issue
This depth of insight is usually only available from experienced mechanics, but AutoMind
makes it accessible to everyone, empowering you with knowledge and confidence.
When should I use AutoMind?
Think of AutoMind as your go-to car health checker. Use it whenever you suspect
something might be wrong with your car. This could be when a warning light appears, or
you notice unusual behaviour like strange noises, loss of power, or unusual smoke. The
beauty of AutoMind is that its AI can potentially diagnose issues even before they trigger
warning lights, potentially catching problems early and saving you from more serious
issues down the road.
How does AutoMind help me avoid expensive repairs?
AutoMind is like having a money-saving mechanic in your pocket. By providing expert-
level diagnostics early, it helps you address issues before they escalate into major,
expensive problems. The detailed report also empowers you with knowledge when dealing
with mechanics, helping you avoid unnecessary repairs or overcharging. You'll be able to
discuss repairs with confidence, knowing exactly what your car needs.
Can you give me some examples of how AutoMind has helped real users?
Absolutely! Here are some experiences shared by AutoMind users:
"AutoMind saved our family holiday! Just as we were about to set off for a week at
the coast, our car's engine light came on. Instead of cancelling our trip, I used
AutoMind and discovered it was just a minor sensor issue. We were able to
continue our journey with peace of mind, knowing it wasn't anything serious." -
Sarah (Mother of two)
"As someone who relies on my car for work, AutoMind has been a game-changer.
Last month, it detected a potential issue with my AdBlue system before it became a
problem. I was able to get it fixed over the weekend, avoiding what could have been
a major breakdown during an important client meeting." - James (Sales
Representative)
"Being a new driver, every little noise my car makes worries me. AutoMind has been
like having a knowledgeable friend always ready to help. It's saved me from
unnecessary trips to the garage and given me confidence in understanding my car's
health." - Emma (University student)
"Managing a small fleet of delivery vans, AutoMind has been invaluable. It's helped
us catch minor issues early, reducing our overall maintenance costs and keeping
our vans on the road. The ability to use it across multiple vehicles is fantastic." -
David (Local bakery owner)
"I love my 15-year-old car, but it can be unpredictable. AutoMind has helped me
understand when noises or performance changes are serious and when they're just
my old car being itself. It's saved me from unnecessary worry and expense." -
Robert (Retired)
These stories demonstrate how AutoMind can benefit a wide range of users, from families
and professionals to new drivers and small business owners. Whether it's saving a holiday,
preventing work disruptions, building confidence in car ownership, managing a small fleet,
or maintaining an older vehicle, AutoMind is there to help.
Using Automind
How is AutoMind different from other car diagnostic tools?
AutoMind isn't just a diagnostic tool; it's the world's first true AI mechanic. Unlike basic
code readers or general diagnostic apps, AutoMind's AI analyses multiple data points:
1. Your car's specific details (such as age, model, engine size, fuel type)
2. Fault codes from your car's computer
3. Your answers to 10 targeted questions about your car's behaviour
This comprehensive approach allows AutoMind to provide detailed and accurate
diagnostics that other tools simply can't match. It's like having the combined expertise of
multiple specialist mechanics, available instantly and affordably.
Will using AutoMind void my car's warranty?
Absolutely not. You can use AutoMind with complete peace of mind. It only reads
information from your car; it doesn't make any changes. It's completely safe and won't
affect your warranty in any way. Think of it as a very smart listener - it hears what your car
is saying but doesn't tinker with anything.
Is AutoMind available outside the UK?
While AutoMind is proudly UK-based, we've designed our service to bring the power of
AI car diagnostics to drivers across the globe. All features are consistent regardless of
your location. The only difference is that if you choose to use a third-party compatible
dongle instead of the AutoMind dongle, you won't have access to our one-click
walkthrough solution called Guided by AutoMind. However, all other features remain fully
accessible. We're committed to making AutoMind's full capabilities available to as many
drivers as possible, wherever you are.
How accurate are AutoMind's diagnostics?
AutoMind's AI has been trained on tens of thousands of car fault scenarios and is
continually learning. While no diagnostic tool is 100% perfect, AutoMind's combination of
fault code analysis, vehicle-specific data, and user input allows for highly accurate
diagnostics in most situations. It's like having the collective knowledge of a team of Master
Technicians from each vehicle marque at your fingertips. However, in complex or unusual
cases, we always recommend confirming with a professional mechanic.
How much does AutoMind cost?
We've designed AutoMind to be affordable and accessible. The app itself is free to
download. Each diagnostic report costs £7.50, which is significantly less than any garage
diagnostic fees. For UK users, we provide the AutoMind dongle for free (you just pay for
postage). International users can purchase our dongle for £10 plus postage and
packaging. Compare this to garage diagnostic fees that can range from £80 to £200, and
you'll see how AutoMind can save you money from the very first use.
Can I use AutoMind for multiple vehicles?
Absolutely! AutoMind is designed to work with multiple vehicles. In the app, we have
Vehicle Profiles, one profile for each vehicle the app is used with. This makes it perfect for
families with more than one vehicle or small businesses with a fleet. Each vehicle will have
its own profile, ensuring that the AI takes into account the specific details of whichever car
you're diagnosing. For added convenience and peace of mind, we recommend keeping an
AutoMind dongle in the glove box of every vehicle you own or in your fleet. This way,
you're always prepared for any emergency scenario, no matter which car you're driving.
How often should I run an AutoMind diagnostic?
While AutoMind is primarily designed for use when you suspect an issue, regular check-
ups can be beneficial. We recommend running the free fault code diagnostic once a month
or before any long trips. This proactive approach can help catch potential issues early,
saving you from more serious problems down the road. Think of it as a quick health check-
up for your car.
What if I don't understand something in the diagnostic report?
We've designed AutoMind's reports to be as clear and jargon-free as possible. To
ensure you always understand the information provided, there is a definition of terms
included with all reports. This comprehensive glossary helps explain any technical terms
that might be unfamiliar, ensuring you have a full understanding of your car's diagnostic
report.
Can AutoMind help me pass my MOT?
While AutoMind isn't specifically designed as an MOT preparation tool, it can certainly
help. By using AutoMind regularly, you can identify and address issues before your MOT
test. This proactive approach can increase your chances of passing the MOT on the first
attempt, potentially saving you time and money on retests and last-minute repairs.
Can I delete fault codes using AutoMind?
Yes, AutoMind allows you to clear fault codes after you've reviewed the diagnostic
report. However, we always recommend addressing the underlying issue before clearing
codes. If a problem persists, the fault code will likely return. Use this feature wisely, and
always prioritise your safety and your vehicle's health.
Technical Details and Compatibility
Is AI really capable of diagnosing car problems accurately? Isn't a human mechanic better?
While human mechanics are certainly skilled, AutoMind's AI brings unique advantages
to car diagnostics. Our AI has been trained on thousands of car fault scenarios across
numerous makes and models. It combines this vast knowledge with your car's specific
details and your input to provide highly accurate diagnostics.
Think of it this way: AutoMind is like having a team of expert mechanics from every car
brand, all working together instantly to diagnose your car. It can process and analyse data
much faster than a human, considering multiple factors simultaneously.
However, AutoMind isn't meant to replace human mechanics entirely. Instead, it empowers
you with knowledge, helping you understand issues quickly and communicate more
effectively with mechanics when needed. In complex cases, we always recommend
confirming with a professional mechanic. AutoMind and human expertise work best hand
in hand.
How can AutoMind diagnose problems without physically inspecting the car?
While it's true that AutoMind doesn't physically inspect your car, it taps into a wealth of
data that your car itself provides. Modern vehicles are equipped with numerous sensors
and computerised systems that constantly monitor various aspects of the car's
performance.
When you use AutoMind, it reads the fault codes from your car's onboard computer
system. These codes are like the car's way of communicating what it's experiencing. But
AutoMind goes beyond just reading these codes. It combines this information with:
1. Your car's specific details (make, model, year, mileage, etc.)
2. Your answers to targeted questions about any symptoms you've noticed
3. A vast database of known issues and their likely causes
By analysing all this data, AutoMind can provide a comprehensive diagnosis without
needing a physical inspection. It's like a doctor using a combination of your symptoms,
medical history, and test results to diagnose an illness without necessarily performing a
physical examination for every issue.
Of course, for some problems, a physical inspection might still be necessary. In these
cases, AutoMind will advise you to consult a mechanic, armed with the valuable insights it
has provided.
Is my data safe with AutoMind?
Absolutely. We take data privacy and security very seriously. All the information you
provide and the data we collect from your vehicle is encrypted and stored securely. We
never share or sell your personal data to third parties. Our AI uses anonymised data for
learning and improving diagnostics, but this is done in a way that ensures your personal
and vehicle information remains completely private. For further information please review
our Privacy Policy
What if AutoMind can't diagnose my problem?
While AutoMind is highly capable and can diagnose a wide range of issues, there may
be rare cases where it can't provide a definitive diagnosis. In such instances, the app will
still provide all the information it has gathered, which can be valuable when you consult
with a mechanic. We're continuously improving our AI, so even in these rare cases, your
experience helps us enhance the system for future diagnostics.
Won't using AutoMind make me too reliant on technology? What if it stops working when I need it?
AutoMind is designed to enhance your understanding of your car, not make you overly
reliant on technology. It's a tool that provides valuable insights, but it doesn't take control of
your vehicle or make decisio
ns for you.
We've built AutoMind to be reliable and user-friendly. However, like any technology, it's
always good to have a backup plan. That's why we recommend keeping your AutoMind
dongle in your glove box and ensuring your mobile is charged before long trips.
Remember, AutoMind can work offline for reading and clearing codes, so even without an
internet connection, you can still access basic diagnostic features.
