Educational guidance only
Autoclinic provides educational diagnostic guidance, ranked likelihoods, visual explanations, and fix-video style learning materials. It is not a substitute for professional repair advice, hands-on inspection, legal repair certification, or manufacturer service information.
You must validate before acting
Vehicle symptoms can have multiple causes. Our outputs may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. You must validate any diagnosis with appropriate tools, service manuals, and qualified professionals before performing repairs or driving decisions.
Safety-critical components
Safety-critical components, including brakes, airbags, ABS, steering, and SRS, MUST be inspected and certified by a licensed mechanic. AI output does NOT constitute legal repair certification, roadworthiness evidence, warranty evidence, or insurance evidence.
Prohibited high-risk uses
Do not use Autoclinic for medical, legal, financial, employment, credit, housing, judicial, insurance eligibility, or other regulated decisions. Do not use the service to bypass safety, emissions, inspection, or manufacturer requirements.
Bias and limitations
AI systems may reflect limitations in available training data, sensor data, user descriptions, and visual conditions. Lighting, angle, aftermarket parts, regional vehicle variants, and missing service history can affect output quality. We welcome reports of incorrect or unsafe output.
No promise of result
We do not guarantee specific savings, successful repairs, compatibility with every vehicle, or that a suggested next step will solve the problem. Savings examples are illustrative and depend on vehicle condition, labor rates, parts, and professional diagnosis.
