The initial diagnostics of a modern car can be performed using a regular smartphone. This discovery was made for many of his subscribers by the famous American auto blogger, a mechanic with 57 years of experience, Scotty Kilmer.
The specialist explained that for this you need to buy a diagnostic scanner that connects to the car through a special port under the dashboard. The device has a Bluetooth interface and connects to an Android or iOS smartphone, you just need to download the appropriate application to it.
A short check will allow you to transfer all the key information about the car's operation to the smartphone screen. Among other things, you can find out information about a particular malfunction.

Kilmer admits that the cost of a scanner can be a deterrent to some drivers, but it's worth it. Just showing up at a service station and saying, "Help me, something's wrong with my car" isn't the best idea. It's much more appropriate to come and get help with a specific problem.
