Plastic parts in modern trucks and heavy equipment fail prematurely, are expensive to replace, and cause intermittent issues that are impossible to diagnose when the vehicle cools down.
No existing software or tool helps mechanics diagnose intermittent failures caused by plastic parts that only fail when hot; current diagnosis methods rely on the vehicle being in the failed state.

App Concept
HeatWave Diagnostic Assistant
A diagnostic app that guides mechanics through heat-related intermittent failure scenarios, logs temperature data from OBD-II or thermal cameras, and suggests targeted tests for plastic component failures. It crowdsources common failure patterns for specific vehicle models.
Key Features
- Guided diagnostic workflow for intermittent heat-related failures
- Integration with OBD-II and thermal imaging for temperature logging
- Database of known plastic part failure patterns by vehicle model
- Report generation for customer communication to explain elusive issues
Target Users: Heavy duty and automotive mechanics in independent repair shops or dealership fleets, dealing with modern trucks and equipment with plastic components.
Revenue Model: $49/month per user SaaS subscription with a 14-day free trial
