🔧 About UK Car Diagnostics
Built to give everyone in the UK a fair shot at understanding their car
The problem we're solving
A warning light comes on. You don't know if you should pull over immediately or if it's safe to drive for another week. You call a garage — and they want £60 just to plug in a diagnostic scanner and tell you what code it threw.
For millions of people in the UK — especially those who didn't grow up here, or whose first language isn't English — this situation is even harder. Garage reports come back in jargon. Online forums give conflicting advice. And the stakes are real: your car, your safety, your money.
We built UK Car Diagnostics to fix that.
What makes this different
21 languages
English, Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Russian, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, and more. Your car doesn't care what language you speak — neither do we.
Completely free
No subscription. No sign-up. No hidden fees. Just describe your problem and get a real answer in seconds.
Urgency levels that actually help
We tell you: stop driving now, get to a garage today, book in this week, or just keep an eye on it. Because not every warning light is an emergency — but some genuinely are.
Real DVLA vehicle data
Enter your number plate and we check your actual vehicle with the DVLA in real time — make, fuel type, MOT status — so the diagnosis is specific to your car, not a generic answer.
UK pricing on every repair
We quote what independent garages and main dealers actually charge in the UK, so you go in prepared — not surprised.

How it works
We use Claude AI by Anthropic — one of the most capable AI systems in the world — configured to behave like an experienced independent UK mechanic with 20+ years on the tools. It knows petrol, diesel, mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and full EV systems across every major brand on UK roads.
Your number plate is checked against the DVLA database in real time, so the diagnosis references your actual confirmed vehicle — not a guess.
Results are stored securely for 90 days so you can share a link with your garage, your family, or a mechanic friend. After 90 days they're automatically deleted. We don't store your name, email, or any personal information.
Important: UK Car Diagnostics provides AI-generated information for guidance only. It is not a substitute for inspection by a qualified mechanic. Always seek professional advice for safety-critical issues. We accept no liability for decisions made based on this tool's output.
