High-risk symptoms are clearly labeled with conservative driving recommendations.
Risk color system
Critical, High, Medium, and Low reports use the same clear color scale throughout CARUTOO.

FAQ

Clear expectations help drivers trust the report and understand what CARUTOO can and cannot do.
View all FAQsWhat is CARUTOO?
CARUTOO is an AI car care and repair assistant developed and operated by Foavi Inc. It helps drivers understand symptoms, possible causes, severity, estimated repair cost, and practical next steps before visiting a repair shop.
Is CARUTOO a replacement for a mechanic?
No. CARUTOO provides AI-generated informational guidance. It can help you prepare questions, understand risk, and decide what to check first, but it is not a substitute for an in-person inspection by a qualified mechanic.
When should I stop driving immediately?
Stop driving if you smell fuel, see heavy smoke, lose braking power, see an oil pressure warning, the engine is overheating severely, or the vehicle feels unsafe to control. Pull over safely and contact roadside assistance or a qualified professional.
What information makes an AI diagnosis more useful?
Helpful details include the symptom, when it happens, speed, temperature, recent repairs, dashboard lights, mileage, vehicle year, make, model, fuel type, and location. Photos can also help identify visible warning signs and prepare a better inspection checklist.
