Most people have tools sitting in their garage that are one purchase away from unlocking a whole new world of repairs. WhatHaveU analyzes your entire inventory and tells you exactly which single tool gives you the biggest bang for your buck.
No more random tool shopping. No more buying things you don't need. Every recommendation is backed by real data — which repairs it unlocks, how much you'll save, and the exact ROI.
Our AI reads every line item, flags overcharges, identifies upsells, and tells you exactly which repairs you can do yourself.
You get a repair estimate from a shop. $1,200. Is that reasonable? Are they padding the labor hours? Is that “fuel injection service” actually necessary? Most people have no idea. Now you do.
Snap a photo of the quote — paper or digital. Our AI breaks down every line: fair price range, labor hour padding, unnecessary upsells, and which items you could handle yourself with the tools you already own.
Five ways to pinpoint the problem. No scanner required. No mechanic required.
Describe the sound • Get ranked causes
Grinding? Squealing? Clicking? Tell us what you hear, where it's coming from, and when it happens. Our AI ranks the likely causes by probability with urgency levels and safety warnings.
Camera-powered • Reads any scan tool
Snap a photo of your OBD reader display — handheld scanner, phone app, or shop printout. Our AI reads every code and translates it into plain English with severity and fix suggestions.

Photo → Identified → Added
Snap a photo of your toolbox, pegboard, or drawer. Our AI vision identifies every tool — names, sizes, categories — and adds them to your inventory in one tap. No typing required.
Most repair apps stop at the instructions. We stay with you through every bolt, every setback, every victory.
Bolt won't budge? Part won't line up? Hit the Stuck button and describe what's happening. Our AI gives you specific, practical solutions — penetrating oil techniques, breaker bar tricks, alignment tips — the kind of advice a patient friend in the garage would give you.
One tap • Instant helpFinished the repair but the problem is still there? We suggest 2-3 alternative causes ranked by likelihood, explain what the first repair ruled out, and tell you which next steps you can tackle yourself. Every failed fix is progress — we help you see why.
Eliminates guessworkBefore every repair, a mandatory pre-flight checklist: vehicle secured, key out of ignition, safety glasses on, correct jack points used. After every repair, verification steps confirm you did it right. Because getting home safe matters more than saving money.
