Before you start
How to get a cleaner, more accurate diagnosis
You don’t need to be a mechanic. Just give the AI the kind of info a good mechanic would ask for.
-
1
Use simple words for the noise. For example “clunk”, “hum”, “whistle” or “squeak”.
-
2
Say where it feels like it comes from. Front or rear, left or right, engine, “under the car”, dashboard, etc.
-
3
Mention what you’re doing when it happens. Braking, turning, accelerating, hitting bumps, highway speed, cold start, rain, etc.
🎚 Fill the sliders honestly: how loud it feels and how serious it seems to you.
🎧 Add a short recording if you can: a few seconds with no music or talking is enough.
📝 Don’t stress about “correct” terms: your own words are fine — the AI will work with that.
Important safety note
MyAutoSound gives general guidance only. It is not a guaranteed diagnosis or professional advice. Do not use while driving. Attempt repairs only if you are qualified, or ask a professional to do them. Learn more .

Skip Step 1?
Skipping Step 1 may reduce accuracy. We recommend adding at least a short description or an audio sample. You can still proceed if you prefer.
In 3 simple steps
From weird noise to clear plan — without guessing.
MyAutoSound doesn’t fix the car for you, but it gives you clarity: a better description of the noise, likely causes, and how to talk about it with a professional.
1
Record or describe the sound
Tell the AI when it happens (speed, braking, turning, weather) or upload a short audio recording of the noise.
2
Get a clear, structured diagnosis
The AI summarizes what’s most likely, suggests what to check first and explains it in simple language (no mechanic slang).
3
Go to a mechanic more prepared
Use your diagnosis PDF, 3D view and AI summary to explain the problem faster and ask better questions, so you feel less lost during the visit.

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.

Example conversation with the AI
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

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.
