Car damage diagnosis.

Know what your car damage is
before a repairer tells you.

Point your phone at the mark, or describe it. In seconds you get the name of the damage, what kind of repair it needs, and what to do next. Paint, dents, glass, wheels, wrap, film, lights or trim. No appointment, no drive, no waiting room.

The old way

You used to have to take your car to a shop, just to find out what the damage is.

You had to book in, wait, and take the word of the person who wanted the job.

Now you point your phone at it. Excess Scrubs names the damage on your car from a photo, or from what you tell it. You get the name of the damage, what kind of repair it needs, and what to do next.

How it works

Point it at the mark. Know what it is.

Step 1

Take a photo of the mark, or describe it. In daylight, close enough to see it

Step 2

Pay $8 AUD for that mark, on Stripe's secure payment page

Step 3

Check what it read, answer what a photo cannot show, and get the name of the damage and the repair it needs

How it decides

Not a guess. A tree you can check.

The AI reads your photo and suggests answers. You confirm every one before the result. The same answers always give the same result.

Every result comes from the public dictionary. When two types of damage can't be told apart from a photo, it names both, plus the one check that settles it.

Questions

Before you start.

Why would I pay when the shop will look at it for free?

Because the free look comes from the person who wants the job, and the number they give you moves depending on how much you seem to know.

You're not paying us for a look. You're paying so you already know whether it's a buff or a respray, and what it's called, before the first number gets said out loud. What you do with that is your business.

What do I get?

Every answer is already in the dictionary, free. $8 gets you which one is yours, worked out from your photo and your answers, with a link you can show a shop.

Does it tell me what the repair will cost?

No, and that is on purpose.

A price is a guess with a shelf life. What you are given instead is the name of the defect and the kind of repair it takes, and neither of those goes out of date.

Only the shop actually doing the work can price it.

Do you do the repair?

No. We do not repair cars and we never touch your car.

We are not paid by anyone who repairs cars. No panel shop, no detailer, no workshop, no referral fee, no commission. Where you take it is your business.

How can you tell from a photo?

Because automotive paint is layered, and damage either sits on top of those layers or is cut into them. The colour showing in the mark is what tells you which, and how far down it went, and a clear photo shows that colour.

It reads that from the photo and you confirm it. What a photo cannot show, like whether your fingernail catches on it or what happened, you answer with a tap.

What if my photo is not clear enough?

Then it tells you why, and you can retake it for free.

Take it in daylight, close enough to see the mark, with some of the panel around it. You can also just answer the questions yourself, so you always get a result.

Can I get a refund?

If you've paid for a mark and it doesn't give you a result, email us and you get the $8 back on the card you used. No argument, no form to fill in.

Some results name two possibilities when the photo alone can't tell them apart, plus the one check that settles it. That's still a result.

The answer is delivered the moment it appears on your screen. Disagreeing with what it tells you isn't on its own a reason for a refund.
