Meet Zola. Your AI auto assistant who diagnoses warning lights.

Hear a strange knocking sound or see a dashboard warning light? Tell Zola what's happening in plain language or voice notes—she cross-references mechanics, checks parts, and hands you an exact quote draft.

Visual Dashboard & Engine Diagnostics

Snap a photo of your dashboard error light or engine bay. Zola's vision AI analyzes warning symbols and engine components, generating a diagnostic brief so your mechanic brings exact replacement sensors or tools.

Vehicle Memory & Service Log

Zola remembers your vehicle profile (e.g. 2021 VW Polo 1.0 TSI, VIN, synthetic oil spec, mileage history). She automatically applies your car specs to future servicing so you get exact OEM-grade oil and filters.

Clear Answers

Frequently asked questions about booking auto repair.

Q.Will servicing my car through Bouul void my manufacturer warranty?

No! Under Right to Repair laws, servicing your out-of-plan or in-warranty vehicle at an RMI/MIWA accredited workshop using OEM-grade parts preserves your legal rights and vehicle resale value.

Q.What if the mechanic discovers additional worn parts during a service?

Mechanics on Bouul cannot add unapproved line items to your bill. If extra worn parts are found during inspection, your mechanic sends an updated itemized quote in-app for your explicit approval before work continues.

Q.Can a mobile mechanic change my brakes or battery in my home driveway?

Yes! Mobile mechanics booked on Bouul carry hydraulic jacks, torque wrenches, and OBD diagnostic tools directly to your home or office driveway for routine maintenance.

Q.What guarantee do I have on replaced car parts?

All new OEM-grade parts installed by Bouul accredited mechanics come with a standard 6 to 12-month manufacturer warranty covering both parts and labor.

Q.How does escrow protect my automotive repair payment?

Your payment is secured digitally in Bouul escrow when you approve the quote. Funds are only released to your mechanic after you complete a road test and tap 'Job Satisfied'.
