Learn & fix your car

Choose how you want to use MyAutoSound.

Start with the sound diagnosis, then use videos and guides that match your level of experience — from “I’ve never touched a car tool” to “I already do my own repairs”.

Browse tutorials

Level 1 · Beginner

“I don’t really know how to work on a car.”

You mainly want to understand where the noise comes from before going to a mechanic. We show you simple checks you can do safely: listening tips, basic visual inspections and what to tell your mechanic so you don’t waste time or money.

Start as a beginner

Level 2 · Comfortable

“I already do small repairs myself.”

You can change a battery, wiper blades or maybe your own oil, and you have a few tools at home. MyAutoSound helps you use the diagnosis to jump to videos on things like basic brake checks, simple suspension inspections and common sensor or fluid problems.

See “comfortable” guides

Level 3 · Advanced

“I’m used to doing bigger repairs.”

You’re comfortable using jack stands, torque wrenches and following service manuals. You may already replace suspension parts, wheel bearings or sensors. MyAutoSound becomes a tool to confirm your ideas, refine possible causes and send you to more in-depth technical videos.

Go to advanced content

Always follow safety precautions and your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. For complex or safety-critical repairs, see a certified mechanic. More details in our Terms & Disclaimer .

Live AI Assistance

Ask follow-up questions about your diagnosis — in plain language.

Once you have a diagnosis, you can ask the AI to explain it in simple words, compare options or help you prepare what to say to your mechanic. No jargon required.

  • Clarify any part of your result that feels confusing or too technical.
  • Ask about common price ranges and urgency level (ex: “Can I still drive 1 week?”).
  • Get a simple list of questions to ask your mechanic before accepting a repair.

Remember: this is still an assistant — it does not replace a professional mechanic or official inspection.

You

I hear a “clunk clunk” when I brake at low speed, mostly in the front left. Is that urgent?

AI mechanic

It could be something like a loose caliper bolt, worn suspension bushing or a brake pad shifting. It can be safety-related, so I’d avoid delaying it too long.

AI mechanic

I’ll give you: • 2–3 possible causes • What to tell your mechanic • What’s usually checked first

Guides for drivers

Simple checklists for buying a car and visiting a mechanic

Quick steps to prepare, ask better questions, and keep records. General information only — not legal, financial, or professional advice.

Buying a car

Used car checklist (before → test drive → after)

Reduce surprises, spot red flags early, and keep proof in one place.

Before

  • • Budget for repairs + insurance
  • • Check history report (accidents)
  • • Book a pre-purchase inspection

Test drive

  • • Start cold + listen carefully
  • • Try braking + turning + bumps
  • • Verify warning lights + VIN

After

  • • Do baseline maintenance
  • • Document noises early (MAS)
  • • Keep invoices + contracts

Pro tip: If you notice a noise during the test drive, record it quickly and save the result — it helps you negotiate or walk away confidently.

Visiting a mechanic

Repair shop checklist (prepare → ask → verify)

Make the visit smoother, avoid confusion, and protect your records.

Before

  • • Note when it happens
  • • Record the noise (MAS)
  • • Ask about diagnostic fees

During

  • • Explain it like a story
  • • Ask risks + repair priority
  • • Request a written estimate

After

  • • Compare invoice vs estimate
  • • Keep proof + warranty info
  • • Test drive soon after

Pro tip: Show the mechanic your recording + summary. It saves time and improves the odds they reproduce the issue quickly.

Optional next step

Find garages near you once you have a diagnosis.

Use your AI diagnosis to quickly find nearby garages, compare their reviews and choose who to call. You stay in control — MyAutoSound never books or charges anything on your behalf.

  • Filter by “Open now”, distance and Google rating.
  • Prioritize garages with “garage” or “atelier” in the name to avoid generic listings.
  • Save your favorites or keep a history of garages you've already checked.

Data powered by Google Places. Availability and accuracy may vary by region. Always verify opening hours and services directly with the garage before going.
