Questions, answered
Do I need any hardware or a dongle?
No. Photo and sound scans work with just your phone — no OBD dongle or extra hardware to buy. If you already own an OBD-II reader, CarScan can use its live data too, but it is never required.
Is CarScan a guaranteed diagnosis?
No. CarScan gives you AI-powered guidance so you understand the likely problem, how urgent it is, and what a fair repair costs — before you talk to a shop. For safety-critical repairs, always confirm with a qualified mechanic.
What vehicles does CarScan work with?
Cars, trucks, and SUVs — plus motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, RVs, and camper vans.
How much does it cost?
Your first 3 scans every month are free — no credit card required. Pro is $9.99/month and Premium is $119.99/year (or $24.99/month) if you want more scans and more time with Harry.
Which languages does CarScan speak?
CarScan works in more than 30 languages, and Harry answers in yours.
Your check-engine light is not going to explain itself.

CarScan provides AI guidance to help you understand your vehicle — it is not a guaranteed diagnosis. Always confirm safety-critical repairs with a qualified mechanic. Repair costs are estimates and vary by vehicle, location, and shop.
