Problem
Car owners often lack clear guidance for diagnosing vehicle issues, sourcing the correct replacement parts, and performing repairs, leading to reliance on costly mechanics or guesswork that can cause errors and delays.
Solution
Orion offers a DIY automotive repair platform that generates vehicle‑specific, step‑by‑step repair instructions, including torque specifications, tool lists, and instructional videos. Users can describe a symptom, upload a photo, or input a warning code, and Orion identifies the root cause, recommends the exact‑fit parts, and provides a single‑tap purchase option. The platform also connects users with vetted mechanics for professional assistance when needed, and supports a creator program that rewards contributors who share repair videos.
Target Audience
Orion targets DIY‑oriented car owners, automotive enthusiasts, and independent mechanics who need reliable repair instructions and streamlined parts sourcing for a wide range of vehicle makes and models.
