SHENZHEN, China – June 29, 2026 –<\/strong> The automotive aftermarket faces a severe technician shortage: only one qualified candidate exists for every four open roles, and first-time fix rates hover at 75-85%. The AI-powered diagnostic market, valued at USD 6.9 billion and growing 42.8% annually (Source: GM Insights), is rapidly expanding to bridge this gap. The EU Right to Repair directive, reaching full effect by 2027, will grant independent shops equal data access — a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the independent channel.<\/p>\n

Today, THINKCAR unveiled Tyler, the industry’s first AI Diagnostic Agent, at its 2026 Global Distributors Conference in Shenzhen. Under the theme “Igniting the Era of AI Diagnostic Agents — AI That Knows. AI That Acts.,” hundreds of distributor partners from over 30 countries gathered to see a future where technicians no longer chase fault codes — they just pick up a wrench.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tyler is not a smarter scanner. It is an AI Diagnostic Agent that runs full diagnostic workflows — from fault capture to repair planning — and predicts future failures before warning lights turn on. The technician keeps working; Tyler handles the rest. Powered by THINKCAR’s proprietary ThinkLLM and a multi-agent system orchestrated by ThinkClaw, it delivers answers in seconds, not hours.

The foundation is real. Over 2.4 million registered users across 215 countries and regions. More than 400,000 diagnostic sessions daily. Hundreds of millions of diagnostic records. 48 million+ parts records covering 98%+ vehicle coverage. Over 140 AI patents and a nationally registered automotive AI algorithm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Empowering every vehicle, that is the promise of a whole life. The independent repair shop deserves the best tools in the world. That is a more fair and accessible kind of technical power,” said Ben Tan, Chairman of THINKCAR.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Tyler does not replace your technicians. It replaces the tools that waste their time,” said Peter, VP of THINKCAR’s Diagnosis Business Center.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tyler Ships Today. More Products Announced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The THINKTOOL 394 AI is the first device to ship with Tyler onboard — making AI-native diagnostics available to every shop, starting today. The AI Agent product line will continue to expand with dedicated new series in the future.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of distributor partners from over 30 countries<\/p>\n

30 distributor awards presented across 4 categories: Diamond Dealer, Excellent Dealer, Outstanding Dealer, and THINKCAR Star<\/p>\n
