  • Step-by-step stripped bolt removal tutorials (e.g., using extractors, welding a nut)
  • Live one-on-one chat with a certified mechanic for stuck situations
  • AR-powered bolt identification to confirm correct size and thread pitch
Target Users: DIY car enthusiasts and home mechanics (personal vehicle repair) who are intermediate to advanced, working on their own cars without professional shop support.
Revenue Model: $9.99/month subscription or $2.99 per emergency chat session; free tier includes basic torque specs and removal guides.
