Understand what may be wrong with your vehicle, how serious it could be, and what to tell a mechanic without needing to know automotive terminology.
Auto Buddy: Your Virtual Mechanic and Car Care Companion
Worried about that strange noise in your car? Not sure whether a problem is serious or something simple? Auto Buddy helps you make sense of what your vehicle may be telling you.
Describe what you’re noticing in plain language. Auto Buddy will ask focused follow-up questions, help identify the most likely causes, explain how serious the problem may be, and suggest what to check or discuss with a mechanic.
You don’t need to know automotive terminology. Auto Buddy is designed to help everyday drivers better understand vehicle problems and communicate more confidently when it’s time for service or repair.
With Auto Buddy you can:
• Chat through vehicle problems one step at a time
• Get clear explanations of likely causes and important alternatives
• Understand when a problem may need prompt attention
• Save vehicles in your Garage for future conversations
• Keep a history of previous vehicle problems and diagnoses
• Resume earlier conversations when you need to continue troubleshooting
• Add vehicle photos for easy reference
• Copy useful information to share with a mechanic
Auto Buddy provides informational automotive guidance and cannot physically inspect your vehicle. If a problem may affect safe operation, have the vehicle inspected by a qualified professional.
Understand the problem. Know what to ask. Talk to your mechanic with confidence.
