App Concept

DiagSnap Mobile Scanner

A mobile OBD2 scanner with a companion app that reads all diagnostic trouble codes, explains them in plain language, and prioritizes repairs. No confusing jargon—just what to fix first.

Key Features

Plug-in OBD2 Bluetooth adapter
App reads and interprets all codes from vehicle systems (engine, ABS, airbag, etc.)
Priority-based repair suggestions (critical vs. minor)
Live data dashboard for monitoring sensors

Target Users: DIY car owners and small independent repair shops who need an affordable, user-friendly diagnostic tool without a full scan tool investment

Revenue Model: $29.99 for adapter + month ($4.99) or year ($49.99) subscription for advanced features like real-time data and repair guides
