Step one
A driver describes the situation
Plain language, no forms. The assistant asks follow-up questions to understand what happened.
Advertising placements
Advertising placement inside the conversation
AutoHelper helps drivers understand a car problem or a collision in plain language. When a category is relevant, it shows local business listings inside that conversation. Placements are sold at a flat monthly rate and are clearly identified as advertising.
How it works
Presence where the question is being asked
A map pin appears because of proximity. A search ad appears because of a keyword bid. An AutoHelper listing appears inside an explanation the visitor is already reading — after the assistant has asked follow-up questions and described likely causes and realistic cost ranges.
Step two
AutoHelper explains the situation
Likely causes, typical next steps, and realistic cost ranges — as general information, never as legal, medical, or diagnostic advice.
Step three
Relevant categories show listings
Businesses advertising in that category and area appear as listings inside the conversation, labeled as advertising.
Categories
Seven categories
Each placement is tied to one category and a defined area.
Auto injury attorneys
Firms advertising in the auto injury category, with exclusivity available by county.
Chiropractic
Clinics appearing in conversations about post-collision care options in their area.
Collision repair
Body shops appearing when a driver is working through repair questions.
Auto mechanics
Independent shops and service centers advertising in mechanical categories.
Glass and recalibration
Glass specialists and calibration providers listed in their service area.
Insurance
Agencies advertising presence alongside general coverage questions.
Auto parts
Parts suppliers appearing where parts questions come up in conversation.

What we do not do
A directory, plainly stated
ACC sells flat monthly advertising placements. It does not sell outcomes, and it makes no promise about volume or return on advertising spend. AutoHelper is an information and directory service — it does not provide legal, medical, or automotive diagnostic advice.
