Car problems we help with
Carman covers the car problems drivers search for every day. Tell us what's wrong, add a photo, and get a diagnosis estimate plus quotes from mechanics near you.
Rough idle, engine knocking, overheating, strange smoke, or a check engine light that won't go off. Carman helps you understand possible causes and repair costs before you visit a repair shop.
Squealing brakes, grinding noises, a soft brake pedal, vibration when braking, or a brake warning light. Get brake repair quotes from local mechanics and compare prices instantly.
Car won't start, battery keeps dying, alternator failure, starter problems, or flickering lights. Find battery replacement and electrical repair services near you at transparent prices.
AC blowing warm air, no heat in winter, weak airflow, or strange smells from your vents. Carman connects you with mechanics who fix car air conditioning and heating systems.
Flat tires, uneven tread wear, vibration at speed, or slow pressure loss. Report the issue, get a repair estimate, and book a nearby tire service without calling five shops.
Slipping gears, hard shifting, transmission fluid leaks, or noises while driving. Transmission repairs are expensive — Carman's quotes help you avoid overpaying.

Why AnyState Carman
Most drivers overpay for car repair because they can't diagnose the problem themselves and have no way to compare mechanics. AnyState Carman fixes that — combining official VIN vehicle data, photo-based issue reporting, and a network of verified mechanics into one simple app built for drivers across the United States.
Every request starts with a diagnosis estimate so you understand the likely repair cost range before any work begins. No surprise invoices, no pressure at the counter.
Instead of calling shop after shop, Carman broadcasts your issue to available mechanics nearby. You receive real quotes with ratings, distance, and pricing — then choose who earns your business.
Mechanics on Carman register with license details and are reviewed before going live. Two-way reviews after every job keep quality high and accountability mutual.
Your payment is held when you book and only released to the mechanic after you confirm the work is done. If something's wrong, disputes are reviewed by our team with chat and photo evidence.
All communication stays inside the app. Phone numbers and emails are filtered from chat so both drivers and mechanics stay protected — and every conversation is available for support if a dispute arises.
Carman launches across the USA starting with official NHTSA VIN data, US states, and miles-based matching. Enter your VIN and your exact vehicle is confirmed in seconds.

FAQ
AnyState Carman is a car diagnosis and mechanic booking app. Android users get the native app from our download page; iPhone users can run Carman right now in Safari and add it to their home screen — a native iOS app is in development for the App Store. Enter your vehicle's VIN (or make, model and year), describe the car problem with photos, and get a repair cost estimate plus quotes from trusted mechanics near you — all without calling a single shop.
Carman uses official US vehicle data (NHTSA vPIC) to verify your exact make, model, year and trim from your VIN. Combined with the issue category, symptoms and photos you provide, the app suggests possible causes and an estimated repair cost range, then matches you with mechanics who confirm the final price before work starts.
Downloading the Carman app is free. When you book a repair, a small service fee is added to your quote so the platform stays free to use — and mechanics keep the majority of every job. You always see the full breakdown before you confirm.
You top up the Carman wallet, and when you choose a mechanic the exact quoted amount is reserved from your balance — not sent to anyone yet. The mechanic only gets paid after you confirm the work. Cancel or raise a dispute and the money returns to your wallet, and you can withdraw it back to your card anytime.
No. All communication happens inside Carman's in-app chat. Phone numbers, emails and messaging app mentions are automatically filtered, which keeps your contact details private and every conversation documented for your protection.
Register in the app as a mechanic with your license or certification details. After verification, you'll receive job requests from car owners near you, set your own labor rates, build your rating through two-way reviews, and track daily, weekly and monthly earnings from your dashboard.
Engine trouble and check engine lights, brakes, battery and electrical issues, AC and heating, tires and wheels, transmission problems, body damage, and more. If your car does something unusual, describe it in Carman — a mechanic nearby can help.
