Questions, answered honestly
Including the one everybody asks first.
Fair question — you’d get a decent answer there, and we won’t pretend otherwise. The difference is where the repair steps come from. A general chatbot composes its answer fresh every time from patterns in its training: ask twice, get two different answers, some subtly wrong about which grit to sand with or when to stop — and you can’t tell which one you got.
Fixbud doesn’t compose repair steps at all. Every tutorial is built from a fixed, written procedure — the same tested sequence every time — and AI only personalizes it to your car, color, and experience. That’s what makes professional review possible: an expert can sign off on a procedure once, and every customer gets exactly what was reviewed. There’s no fixed thing to verify inside a chatbot.
On top of that: hard-coded safety rules that always fire (cracked wheel? repeatedly blowing fuse? we refuse and say why), a diagnostic interview designed by the trade (the fingernail test isn’t something you’d know to mention), a shopping list matched to your paint code, and a real guarantee — if the fix doesn’t help, you get your money back. A chatbot owes you nothing afterward. We do.
