The AutoTech Software COVERS OVER 600 DIFFERENT vehicles from 1983 - 2006 and enables the average person (i.e. the non-mechanic) to easily troubleshoot all types of automotive problems by simply answering one or more yes/no questions (no automotive or mechanical knowledge is required to use AutoTech). After reaching a diagnosis, AutoTech provides a clear and meaningful explanation of this diagnosis, suggests a remedy, and gives you tips on discussing the problem with your mechanic.
Imagine that something goes wrong with your car but you don't know what's causing it. You visit a local garage and ask the mechanic to check it out. Since you don't have any idea as to the cause of this problem, you probably feel vulnerable. AutoTech can help by providing you with a way to troubleshoot the problem and understand its cause. With this knowledge, you will be better able to communicate with a mechanic. The better you're able to convey the exact nature of the problem to a mechanic, the greater your chances of receiving repair work to your satisfaction. Finally, AutoTech will often pay for itself the first time you use it.
Authentic automotive sounds and photographs aid the user during a question and answer troubleshooting session. The following is a sample photograph taken from AutoTech...
AutoTech will allow you to log up to 15 different vehicles. This means you can use AutoTech for not only your vehicle but also your spouse's vehicle (or significant other), family members, and even your friends! Best of all, there are over 600 different vehicles to choose from. For each vehicle logged with AutoTech, you will be able to troubleshoot a wide variety of automotive problems, keep track of all maintenance/service, and use the AutoRemind feature to automatically remind you of any needed oil changes, tune-ups, and lube jobs.
AutoTech has many other features as well. For example, you can use AutoTech to calculate a purchase or lease payment, check the reliability rating of a used vehicle you may be considering to buy, and learn how to negotiate the best deal on a new or used vehicle.
