Revolutionising Repairs: Auto3iii Drives AI into the Workshop

Auto3iii’s commitment to workshops around the world– and their customers – has been emphatically underlined after strengthening our software solutions with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Using our own Large Language Model (LLM) – we are now allowing workshops to compare car defects and vehicle damage with images from millions of other vehicles around the world.

With 140 common vehicle issues and most vehicle damage detected immediately, our unique software allows technicians to instantly diagnose and recommend solutions simply from taking a picture on their device.

Auto3iii’s ‘Intelligent Technician’ app enables technicians to perform customised vehicle health checks or services on vehicles, capturing photos, videos, measurements, and notes while they work.

And now, the solution has been bolstered with the considerable strength of AI, with images from eight million car inspections cross-referenced to provide instant diagnosis and suggested repairs.

Over 600,000 photos from more than 100,000 vehicles are uploaded each day from 80,000 technicians around the world, with a staggering 200million photos added since 2020.

It all adds up to an even more compelling solution for UK customers, where issues such as tyre defects, brake damage, paintwork and fluid quality can all be diagnosed within seconds of images being taken of a customer’s car.

And because the data is mined from so many different cars across the world, customers can rest assured that subsequent recommendations are objectively provided, to validate the garage’s own recommendation.

David Leighton Director from Auto 3iii said:

“One of the biggest benefits of our AI investment is the additional time we can free up for our customers. The results are so accurate that it allows trainees and apprentices to assume responsibility for the inspection process. Senior technicians can then concentrate on other jobs and the workshop can operate more efficiently.

“We’ve know that AI has been coming for many years and have always had one eye on a solution like this. It’s for this reason that we started to compile and store the data back in 2020, knowing that this time would come.”

Once a vehicle has been cross-referenced with the huge database, recommendations are then made and a digital maintenance plan created – both of which are shared digitally with the customer in typical Auto3iii professionalism.

Co-founder and Director Ben Smith from Auto 3iii added: “There isn’t a solution like this out there and we think it has the potential to be a gamechanger in the aftermarket. It saves considerable time, creates greater levels of transparency and trust and helps to forge a closer relationship with each customer arriving at a workshop.”
