Not a 14-minute video about somebody else's car. Fixbud looks at your photo, recognizes your vehicle, paint and damage, asks two smart questions — and builds a narrated step-by-step tutorial for your exact fix, with the exact products to buy. (New: video tutorials with AI clips of your steps — beta.)

From "ugh, look at that scratch" to "done" — without guessing.
Take a photo of the scratch, chip or scuff. Fixbud recognizes your car, your paint code, and what kind of damage it's looking at.
A photo can't tell everything — like how deep a scratch runs. Fixbud asks only what it can't see, the way a good body shop would.
Get a narrated step-by-step tutorial for your exact repair — your color, your skill level, your tools — plus a shopping list of the exact products, typically under $60 total.
Every tutorial is built from verified repair procedures — not generated from thin air. AI handles the recognition and personalization; the steps themselves come from a library reviewed by professionals. That's the difference between advice that sounds right and advice that is right.
And it knows its limits. If your damage needs a professional — deep dents, rust, anything structural — Fixbud tells you straight, before you spend a cent.
A body shop quotes $150–500 for a scratch. Your other option:
Fair question — the honest answer involves where repair steps come from, hard-coded safety rules, and a refund guarantee no chatbot offers. Read the full answer on our FAQ page →
At launch: automotive cosmetic repair — paint scratches, stone chips, clear-coat damage, foggy headlights, trim scuffs. Home and appliance repairs are next.
The steps aren't invented by AI. They come from a library of procedures verified by professional detailers and refinishers. AI adapts them to your exact car, color, and experience — it can't change the substance.
Then we'll say so. Part of every assessment is an honest call on whether this is safe and sensible to do yourself. If it isn't, you'll know before you pay.
Most launch repairs can be done by hand with products from any auto parts store. If you own tools like a dual-action polisher, the tutorial adapts to use them.
Snap a photo, answer a few questions, fix it this weekend — $9, refunded if it doesn't help.
