NO SALES PITCH

Straight answers.
No mechanical mysticism.

What the product does, what it does not do, and where the owner stays in control.

Is Restore Replace a subscription?+

No. The Founding Garage Price is A$99 for the first 100 genuine settled paid licences, then the standard price is A$129. Either price buys the same complete core app permanently. There is no required subscription, feature tier, repair-guide fee, parts-hunt fee or percentage added to parts. Eligible new licences receive 500 provisional Starter AI Fuel credits once.

Does it work only for cars?+

No. The vehicle record is intentionally universal: cars, utes, pickups, vans, wagons, SUVs, 4WDs, trucks, buses, motorcycles, scooters and other restoration vehicles.

Does the camera identify everything automatically?+

No. It can only suggest what is visible or reasonably inferable from the photos. You confirm, correct, dismiss or manually add every job.

Is Talk to Restore Replace included?+

The Garage Assistant interface and manual workflow are in the one-time core app with no feature tier. Fresh cloud voice and selected-frame analysis use optional prepaid AI Fuel. The app shows the estimate first and needs deliberate approval; saved results are free to reopen.

What is AI Fuel?+

AI Fuel is a prepaid credit balance used only for new, externally billed cloud AI work. It does not unlock core features. There is no auto-refill, no required subscription and no charge for reopening a saved result. Refill packs are A$10 for 1,000 credits, A$25 for 2,500 credits and A$50 for 5,000 credits; sales remain off until provider costs and checkout are verified.

What happens when AI Fuel runs out?+

Fresh cloud AI work pauses before any provider request is made. Nothing goes negative and there is no automatic refill. The complete manual core app, project records and every saved AI result remain available; a customer can choose an optional prepaid refill later when checkout is active.

Does AI Fuel expire?+

No expiry is configured for launch. Fuel does not auto-refill. Final expiry, refund and consumer-law wording will be reviewed before paid Fuel checkout is activated.

Will it buy parts for me?+

Not in the current review build. It helps prepare the evidence and comparison. Supplier contact, orders and payment require real integrations and explicit owner approval.

Can it find parts overseas?+

It supports the workflow: clearer enquiries, local-language templates, seller photos, measurements, delivered-cost comparison, freight planning and fitment tracking.

How does it avoid wrong parts?+

It keeps the vehicle identity, side, position, numbers, measurements, mounting evidence, donor details, seller photos and real fitment outcomes together.

Will it tell me a repair is safe?+

It can show warnings and stop points, but it does not declare safety-critical work safe from a photo or AI output. Qualified inspection may be required.

Can I try it before payment is connected?+

Yes. The review garage uses clearly labelled sample data. It does not contact suppliers, place orders or take payment.

Why did the price change?+

The Founding Garage Price is A$99 for the first 100 verified settled licences. The standard one-time price is A$129 after that. The counter uses successful purchase records—not signups, test payments, owner access or fake urgency.

What does the one-time purchase include?+

The permanent manual core app includes My Garage, vehicle records, photography, Finish Line, whole-vehicle checks, diagnostics, Fix / Build / Buy / Modify, Garage Plan, Keep It Moving, Before You Buy, parts and delivery records, Build Record, saved AI results and account export/deletion.

What is Starter AI Fuel?+

The provisional launch grant is 500 credits, once, after a verified settled core purchase. It is being measured before any exact number of AI experiences is promised.

Can Restore Replace show what the finished car could look like?+

Yes. Show Me the Finished Build lets you prepare private Factory Fresh, Period Correct, Budget Tidy-Up, Workhorse, Restomod, Full Custom or owner-written concept directions. Fresh AI renders remain provider-pending until quality and cost are approved.

Does a concept render prove a modification fits?+

No. Every output says CONCEPT VISUAL — NOT ENGINEERING OR FITMENT PROOF. Measurements, clearance, structural feasibility, legality, paint preparation and professional checks remain separate.

Are prices different for different customers?+

No. The current public core price is based only on the verified founding or standard price period. Budget First, Balanced, Fast Track and Dream Build personalise guidance—not the price.

Is Garage TV free?+

Yes. Anyone can browse and play the official free videos on the public Garage TV page. A free signed-in account adds a watchlist, Continue Watching, preferences and hidden-source controls. Linking a video or timestamp to a private vehicle, job, Garage Plan or Build Record is part of the licensed core app.

Does Restore Replace host TV episodes?+

No. Garage TV embeds only official YouTube channel videos that were checked for embedding and links commercial shows to an official streaming-provider page. Restore Replace does not download, re-host, restream or unlock episodes, and a provider subscription or purchase may still be required.

Are Garage TV videos workshop instructions?+

Not automatically. Every source is classified and carries an applicability or safety note. A show or creator video can be useful context, but it is not authority for another vehicle's torque values, legal compliance, structural work or safety-critical repair.

Still unsure?Use the review garage to test the workflow safely. It does not contact suppliers, order parts or take payment.
