Want to perform your own car repairs or make sure your mechanic is fixing the right problem? The Auto Doctor can help. Through a simple series of menus, you describe the symptoms and The Auto Doctor displays a list of possible causes. It covers the engine, fuel system, starter, ignition, brakes, steering, cooling, air conditioning, clutch, and transmission. It has a database of 76 symptoms and 576 causes.
If you do your own car repairs, the auto doctor can save you time and money. Causes for problems are listed in the most efficient order to check them based upon frequency of occurence, difficulty of repair, and cost of repair.
If you take your car to a mechanic for repair, The Auto Doctor can make you a better informed customer. It will help you to determine whether the repairs the mechanic estimates are correct and necessary.
Note: When Auto Doctor first starts, a screen displaying the title, author and version number appears. It takes a moment for this to clear, and then the main menu will appear.
