How it works
- Text what the car is doing. Plain words are fine.
- Say the year, make and model if you know them. It helps.
- You get back what is most likely wrong and what to check first.
- Ask follow up questions. It remembers the car you are asking about.
What you get
- The likely cause, in order of how likely it is.
- What to check first, starting with the cheap and easy checks.
- Whether it is safe to drive. We say so plainly when it is not.
- Roughly what the repair should cost, so nobody can tell you a silly number.
- Open recalls on your car if you send the VIN.
What it is not
This is help, not a diagnosis. Nobody has seen your car. If the answer says stop driving, stop driving. If you want somebody to look at it, find a mechanic near you and the first call is free.
