Car fault diagnosis online

Whether you're a professional mechanic, a hobbyist, or someone who just wants to know why their check engine light came on, your Android device and an OBD-II adapter can provide insight as to what's going on with your car.

The average cost for general diagnosis is between $88 and $111. Labor costs are estimated between $88 and $111. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your specific vehicle or unique location. Related repairs may also be needed.

It can vary quite a bit, but just like everything else vehicle-related, you should always get a quote before you pay the diagnostic fee at a dealership. Many offer free inspections as a complimentary service. If the issues are still hard to identify, then moving to a diagnostic service may be a good option.
