How the diagnostic wizard works

Select a symptom — the car does not start, the engine overheats, there is smoke, a noise, a vibration or a warning light — and the assistant walks you through a decision tree built like a real mechanic would think. Each answer narrows the possible causes.

  • Causes ranked by probability
  • Checks to run in the right diagnostic order
  • Tools and parts you will need
  • Estimated cost range

Always verify before replacing parts

A diagnostic tree gives hypotheses, not certainties. Always confirm each hypothesis with a physical check before buying parts. Many faults are cheap to fix and share symptoms with expensive failures.

FAQ

No. It is a guided assistant that structures your thinking and points to likely causes. A real diagnosis always requires confirmation with measurements, a multimeter, a code reader or a visual inspection.
In order: dashboard warning lights (battery/ignition), whether the starter turns, fuel pump noise when you turn the key, then spark. The wizard guides you through exactly this sequence.
