App Description:

MobileMechanic is one of the only apps that will pay for itself with it's first use! Save money on those over-priced dealer diagnostic fees!

For the vast majority of us, our cars are a vital part of our every day lives. We depend on them for getting to work on time, transporting our families safely to their destination, and occasionally just to enjoy the open road.

This is why when our vehicles don't perform as they should, it can have a significant impact on our every day lives. All too often, what we think is a simple repair can quickly turn into a three or four figure repair bill.

The MobileMechanic app aims to alleviate some of the stress associated with vehicle repairs. Never again wonder if your mechanic bill is going to clean out your bank account. You will also be confident that you are not being taken advantage of due to a lack of mechanical knowledge.

With powerful tools like the Vehicle Guide, Symptom Analyzer, OBD-II Code Database, and the ability to ask a question of a live, un-biased professional mechanic, you can use the MobileMechanic App to give yourself piece of mind before any major car repair.


FEATURE LIST:

- VEHICLE GUIDE -
This is a great place to start. Use the Vehicle Guide to stay informed before your next repair. With everything from car part names & definitions to helpful tips on everything from improving your MPGs to buying your next car, the Vehicle Guide is packed with tons of useful information.

- ENTER A CODE -
Check engine light on? Find out why! Enter an OBD-II code into this section of the app and MobileMechanic will tell you the code's definition, plus a list of causes and symptoms.

- SYMPTOM ANALYZER -
Got a problem but no check engine light? Or maybe your check engine light is on, but you don't own an OBD-II reader? Don't worry, because the Symptom Analyzer will help you to narrow down your list of possible causes based on the problems you are experiencing.

- FIND A MECHANIC -
Sometimes complex issues come up. If all of the other tools in the MobileMechanic app are not enough to help you with your car's issue, there is also the option to locate a nearby mechanic. The Find A Mechanic feature also lets you call nearby repair shops right from the app!

  • Can the OBD scanner be connected through bluetooth?

  • @TuPoetaLoco The app is designed so that it will work with any OBD-II device, not just bluetooth enabled ones. Once your OBD-II scanner pulls the code from the vehicle, simply type it into the app and you will be presented with possible causes and solutions.

    Additionally, if you do not own an OBD-II reader, one can be purchased through the app for a discount.

    If you do not own an OBD-II scanner and do not wish to purchase one, you can still use the Symptom Analyzer to solve your problem.
