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 & 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.
