Vienna, June 12, 2025 – 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 The result: greater transparency and smarter tire and alignment recommendations—no outdated tools required.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.”

Anyline’s AI-powered TireBuddy app gives technicians what they need, when they need it to deliver clear and trusted results for customers.

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 and the Summer Travel Season

With National Tire Safety Week (June 30–July 4) and the busy summer travel season around the corner, TireBuddy empowers shops to highlight the critical importance of safe tires—the only point of contact between a vehicle and the road. Whether preparing for long holiday drives or promoting tire safety awareness, TireBuddy enables technicians to perform last-minute checks efficiently and share clear, data-driven reports. This not only supports best practices but also helps customers confidently say yes to essential maintenance and service decisions.

“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.”
