Garage Hand

Extracts car specs from forum threads.

What it is

Finding one torque spec usually means scrolling a forty-page forum thread. Garage Hand reads the page for you and pulls the numbers into a floating overlay — torque values, fluid capacities, part numbers — each one linked back to the exact line it came from so you can check it.

It works out which vehicle the page is about from the title, breadcrumbs and URL, then flags anything that doesn't match, so a spec for the wrong chassis doesn't end up in your notes. It reads PDFs too, and everything runs in the browser, so no page you visit gets sent anywhere.

How it works

  • Numbers, cited

    Torque values, fluid capacities and part numbers land in a floating overlay, each linked back to the exact line it came from.

  • Wrong-chassis guard

    The extension infers the vehicle from title, breadcrumbs and URL, then flags specs that don't match it.

  • Nothing leaves the browser

    Runs locally with Transformers.js and PDF.js — pages and PDFs you open are never sent anywhere.
