Question 1

Do I have to decode the VIN first?

Accepted Answer

It's recommended for accuracy. You can also key in YMME (year/make/model/engine) manually.

Question 2

Can I choose between OEM and a specific brand for filters and fluids?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's a setting in your account. You pick whether ChatMecano answers with OEM references or with the brand of your choice for filters and fluids, and the answers follow that preference everywhere in the app.

Question 3

Quick Mode vs Diagnostic Mode?

Accepted Answer

Quick Mode is a one-tap fact, plus quick text or voice questions to ChatMecano for fast answers. Diagnostic Mode is a guided, structured analysis for tough symptom-based jobs.
