Launch Tech USA recently introduced AI-driven automotive repair by integrating PredictaFix™, powered by CarTechIQ, into its diagnostic tools.
As vehicles become more advanced and repair timelines tighten, technicians are under growing pressure to diagnose and fix issues quickly. At the same time, a nationwide shortage of skilled labor makes efficient, intelligent tools more critical than ever. PredictaFix helps meet this challenge by offering AI-powered guidance that shortens diagnostic cycles and boosts first-time fix rates -- giving shops a competitive edge in a fast-changing market.
Now available in select professional and DIY scan tools, PredictaFix leverages CarTechIQ's specialized AI to deliver faster, smarter and more precise repair recommendations, eliminating guesswork and streamlining diagnostics for real-world technicians.
Technicians can now rely on modern scan tools enhanced with advanced AI technology to analyze diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), prioritize the most likely root causes, and receive targeted repair suggestions. This intelligent system helps technicians quickly identify the most likely fix, reducing diagnostic time and improving the accuracy of repairs.
“PredictaFix represents a significant leap forward in how we empower technicians in the field,” said Eric Pagliughi, vice president of marketing and product development at Launch Tech USA. “Our mission has always been to deliver tools that are fast, reliable, and user-friendly. Now, with the addition of advanced intelligence, PredictaFix goes a step further -- helping users not only identify issues, but also understand where to begin. It’s about getting to the solution faster, with greater clarity and confidence.”
AI-Driven Automotive Diagnostics for Precision and Efficiency
CarTechIQ’s MechanicIQ™ platform serves as the core of PredictaFix, providing a suite of intelligent AI agents purpose-built for the automotive service environment. These agents interpret vehicle behavior in real-time, leveraging repair outcomes, technical documentation and expert logic to provide actionable recommendations with confidence scores.
“We believe this is the most advanced use of AI agent technology in an aftermarket diagnostic platform to date,” said Yuri Radzik, vice president of data and AI at Launch Tech USA. “PredictaFix isn’t just analyzing data -- it’s applying contextual reasoning to help technicians solve problems faster and with greater accuracy. And this is only the beginning; we’re building an AI foundation that will continue to evolve alongside vehicle complexity.”
Unlike generic AI systems, these agents are grounded in shop operations, supporting professional workflows from diagnostics to repair planning.
Subscription Access for Continuous AI Enhancements
PredictaFix is available through Launch Tech’s software subscription, ensuring users receive the latest AI enhancements and continuously evolving repair intelligence. Customers who activated or renewed their subscription within the last 90 days will gain access during the initial launch period. This model ensures that users continuously benefit from updated repair logic and the latest AI advancements.
Setting the Stage for AI-Driven Diagnostics in the Aftermarket
By introducing PredictaFix, Launch Tech USA takes a major step into AI-assisted diagnostics, paving the way for a broader industry shift. As vehicle complexity increases and repair timelines tighten, intelligent, data-driven assistance becomes more crucial than ever.
Launch Tech’s implementation showcases PredictaFix’s capabilities in live shop environments while designing the underlying platform for broad integration across scan tool brands, dealer networks, telematics platforms, and repair planning systems.
