Launch Tech USA announces PredictaFix integration for AI-driven diagnostics
Lanch Tech USA announced that it would be integrating PredictaFix, powered by CarTechIQ, into its diagnostic tools to give users AI-driven diagnostics and repair to reduce the amount of time technicians need to service a vehicle.
PredictaFix is aimed at reducing the issues with tighter timelines and a stretched workforce, giving technicians AI-powered guidance that shortens diagnostic cycles and improves first-time fix rates.
Technicians can use PredictaFix to analyze DTCs, prioritize the most likely root causes, and receive targeted repair suggestions. The technology is powered by CarTechIQ's MechanicIQ platform, which provides a range of AI agents built for the automotive service environment. The agents can interpret vehicle behavior in real time and evaluate repair outcomes, technical documentation, and expert logic to provide actionable recommendations with confidence scores.
The feature is currently available for select professional and DIY scan tools through Launch Tech's software subscription, and customers who activated or renewed their subscription within 90 days of the March 31 launch will receieve access during the initial launch period.
