The Lot

Using The Shop — AI Mechanic Assistant

The Shop is YoRIDE's AI-powered mechanic chat. Get personalized automotive advice based on your actual garage vehicles.

How to access: Tap the wrench/mechanic icon in the navigation or find "The Shop" in the menu.

Starting a conversation:

  • Select a vehicle from your garage (or ask general questions without selecting one).
  • Type your question — anything from "what oil does my car take?" to "my brakes are squeaking, what should I check?"
  • The AI mechanic responds with advice tailored to your specific vehicle's specs and your logged maintenance history.
  • Conversation history:

    Every chat is saved and can be revisited from the sidebar.

    What The Shop can help with:

  • Maintenance schedules and intervals.
  • Fluid types and capacities for your vehicle.
  • Diagnosing common symptoms.
  • DIY repair guidance and torque specs.
  • Part compatibility questions.
  • Note: The Shop is an AI assistant and not a substitute for a licensed mechanic for complex or safety-critical repairs.
