The Problem
Your dashboard lights up. Now what?
Most drivers have two options when something goes wrong: ignore it (risky) or pay a mechanic $80–150 just to read the codes (expensive). Torko gives you a third: know what’s wrong, in seconds, for free.
⏱️
30-second answers
No appointment. No diagnostic fee. Plug in, scan, understand.
💸
Save on every visit
Walk into the shop knowing what’s wrong. Mechanics quote fairer when you’re informed.
🚗
Works on any car
Every car sold since 1996 has an OBD2 port. Yours included.
How it works
Three steps. That’s it.
01
Plug in
Insert the Torko Scanner into your car’s OBD2 port. Located under the steering wheel on every car since 1996.
02
Connect
Open the Torko app. It pairs over Bluetooth in seconds. Works on iPhone and Android.
03
Understand
AI reads every fault code and explains it in your language — English or Lithuanian at launch, more coming. Severity, cost estimate, and what to do next.
The App
Built to be understood by anyone.
No automotive jargon. No expert mode required. Real-time data, AI-translated codes in your language, and a service log that actually makes sense.
Diagnostics dashboard
Connect, scan, and watch your car’s vitals in real time.
Fault codes, decoded
Every code translated to English or Lithuanian with severity and cost estimates.
Pre-purchase inspection
Scan before you buy. Spot hidden issues sellers won’t mention.
Live data
Every live data on your app.
Hidden Feature
Buying a used car? Scan it first.
Sellers can wash a car. They can scrub the dashboard. But they can’t hide what the OBD2 port remembers.
Torko’s Pre-Purchase Inspection runs a 47-point check in 3 minutes — and tells you exactly how to negotiate.
Battery + alternator health — replacement coming soon?
Engine misfire history — past 100 starts
Emissions readiness — will it pass inspection?
Service history import — CARFAX & VIN-based logs
Avg savings on used car negotiations: $1,200

The Team
Two engineers. One YouTube channel. A car obsession.
We’re Zenonas and Ignas — software engineers, automotive enthusiasts, and the team behind TIKRA RIDA, our YouTube channel where we test, break, and fix cars on camera.
We paused the channel to build Torko because every video taught us the same thing: most drivers have no idea what their car is telling them. Mechanics know. Apps charge you. We thought it should just… work.
Zenonas Valeika
Founder & Engineer
Built Torko’s app, backend, and AI pipeline. Drives a BMW E91 with too many fault codes. Convinced his catalytic converter is fine.
Ignas Noreika
Co-Founder & Hardware Lead
Owns the Torko Scanner sourcing and firmware. Drives a VW Passat that he insists is “just broken in.” Filming TIKRA RIDA since 2022.
Catch issues before they strand you on the highway. Peace of mind every morning.

Coming Soon
Performance Monitor
For people who tune their cars.
If you have ever spent €500 to €1,500 on a Stage 1 remap, you know the feeling. The car feels faster, but you have no idea what is actually happening under the hood. You trust your tuner. You hope your engine is safe.
We want to change that. Soon, Torko will show you live, on your phone, the exact metrics that decide whether your tune is killing your engine or pushing it perfectly.
Caution
Boost pressure
Real boost vs target. Catch overboost before it kills the turbo.
Danger
EGT (exhaust gas temp)
The single most important number on a tuned diesel.
Danger
Knock retard
The earliest warning sign that something is wrong with your tune.
Caution
Fuel rail pressure
On diesels, many tuners push too far and kill injectors.
Caution
Coolant temperature
Spot heat soak before it becomes an engine problem.
Caution
Intake air temp
Hot air = lost power and danger to your engine.
+ also coming
Pre-tune and post-tune baseline comparison
AI-powered "what changed" alerts before fault codes appear
Verified tuner directory
Full diagnostic service history per car
One-tap pre-purchase reports for buyers
The Bundle
One scanner. Lifetime app access.
Founder Edition
Torko Starter Bundle
€59€89
One-time payment. No subscription.
Torko Scanner — Bluetooth OBD2 device
Lifetime app access — every feature, no monthly fees
AI fault decoder — plain-language explanations (EN, LT — more coming)
Almost certainly yes. Every car sold in the US since 1996 has an OBD2 port. In the EU since 2001 (gasoline) and 2003 (diesel).
Do I need a subscription?
No. The bundle is a one-time payment. Lifetime access to every app feature.
Why is this better than free OBD2 apps?
Free apps show you a code like “P0420” and call it a day. Torko translates it into plain English with severity, urgency, and cost estimates.
When does Torko launch?
Beta starts in early 2026. Waitlist members get first access plus founder pricing.
What languages does Torko support?
At launch: English and Lithuanian. The AI agent explains every fault code in your native language — no more cryptic engineer-speak. Spanish, French, German, Polish and more land as users vote for them inside the app.
Is my data private?
100%. Scan history stays on your device unless you opt to back it up. We never sell data.
Be first in line.
Founder pricing for the first 500 only. After that, Torko goes public at €89.
