AI-powered app equips technicians to deliver smarter, more transparent inspections
VIENNA, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Anyline, a global leader in AI-powered mobile data capture and insights, today announced the launch of TireBuddy, a breakthrough app that redefines tire inspections in service bays. TireBuddy delivers a technician-friendly digital workflow that works on any smartphone, helping shops standardize inspections and share clear, trusted reports with customers. The result: greater transparency and smarter tire and alignment recommendations—no outdated tools required.
“TireBuddy is not only about faster inspections—it’s about more trustworthy ones,” said Lukas Kinigadner, Co-Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Anyline. “We’re helping garages and service centers replace subjective tire checks with data-backed insights and visual reporting that both technicians and customers can rely on.”
Built to Solve Shop Challenges
Many shops face inconsistent inspections, manual errors and difficulty building customer trust. TireBuddy tackles these issues with an intuitive mobile workflow that delivers consistent, accurate results—no special hardware or guesswork required. Each inspection generates a full digital report, including:
- Tread Depth Warnings – Flags low or uneven tread
- Tire Age Alerts – Highlights tires nearing or past safe age limits
- Alignment Indicators – Detects irregular wear, alerting technicians to alignment issues
- Sidewall Checks – Captures DOT codes and manufacturing data
Key Benefits:
- Precise Measurements: AI-powered tread depth accuracy to 1/32 inch (0.5 mm)
- Instant Documentation: Visual, easy-to-understand reports—digital or printed
- No Manual Entry: Reduces errors and ensures data consistency
- Trust at the Bay: Helps technicians explain findings and build confidence with customers
- Higher Revenue Potential: Transparently helps boost service approvals and drive shop revenue. “TireBuddy empowers technicians with real-time, reliable data that strengthens recommendations and builds customer confidence,” said Frédéric Baroin, Global Head of Automotive Business at Anyline. “We designed it to deliver clarity, not complexity—in every inspection.”
Smarter Inspections – Just in Time for National Tire Safety Week
With National Tire Safety Week approaching (June 30–July 4), TireBuddy helps shops spotlight tire safety by reminding drivers that tires are their vehicle’s only point of contact with the road. The app supports best practices with clear, data-driven reports that make it easier for customers to say yes to essential maintenance and service.
“TireBuddy is more than a digital tool—it’s a smarter way to inspect, advise and protect drivers,” said Kinigadner. “It helps shops deliver safer, more accurate service while building long-term trust. Everyone wins—shops, technicians and drivers.”
