Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Jashwanth, solo builder of Recume.
The idea started from a simple frustration: most people have no idea if what a mechanic tells them is legit or a upsell. So I built Recume to fix that, snap a photo of any car part, and get an instant AI-powered diagnosis, condition score, and fair repair cost estimate. No more walking into a shop blind.
Would love for you to try it out and tell me what you think, bugs, feature ideas, roasts, all welcome 🙏
the trust angle is smart, especially the story about matching an actual mechanic quote. one question - repair labor costs vary a ton by region and even by country, does the cost estimate localize to where you are, or is it working off a more generic baseline right now?
Snapped a pic of my squeaky belt and it nailed the issue in seconds with a cost range that actually matched what my mechanic quoted last month. Honestly didn't expect the recommendations to be that on point.
honestly really cool idea, would save me so many trips to the mechanic. one thing tho, would be awesome if i could upload a short video or a few photos from different angles since sometimes one pic doesn't really show the full issue. that would probably make the diagnosis way more accurate
Snapped a pic of my squeaky brake caliper and got a pretty accurate guess within seconds, plus a parts list that actually matched what my mechanic quoted last month. Honestly impressed for the price.
love that you can just snap a pic of a part instead of digging through forums trying to describe the noise. the instant cost estimate alongside the diagnosis is a really smart touch, removes the whole back-and-forth with the shop.
snapped a pic of my squeaky brake and got a solid answer in like 10 seconds, way more useful than scrolling through random forum posts honestly
Snapped a pic of my weird rattling exhaust and it actually nailed the issue plus gave me a fair price range before I called the shop. Wild that it costs less than my morning latte.
Snapped a pic of my sputtering alternator and got a clear diagnosis plus a price range that actually matched what my mechanic quoted later. Solid little tool for anyone who hates getting blindsided at the shop.
honestly this looks super useful for anyone who doesn't know much about cars. one thing I'd love to see is a "before you go to the mechanic" checklist or some kind of prep guide so you know what to ask or verify when you take it in. would save a lot of people from getting upsold on stuff they don't actually need
snapped a pic of my weird rattling thing under the hood and it actually nailed what was wrong, plus gave a realistic price range. kind of wish i had this before my last shop visit honestly
Snapped a pic of my weird rattling exhaust and it nailed the issue in seconds, even threw in a rough cost range that matched what my mechanic quoted. Honestly didn't expect it to be that spot on for the price.
Snapped a pic of my squeaky belt and it nailed the issue right away, even gave me a rough price range. Way easier than scrolling through forums trying to figure out what's wrong.
One thing that would really help is adding a way to track repair history for each car over time. So I could upload the same brake pad photo in six months and see how wear progressed, or check what fixes were recommended last visit. Would make it way more useful as an ongoing tool instead of a one-time check.
