Read full description

Keep vehicle details, written concerns and service history together in your Auto Wizard Garage. Start with a written symptom, warning state or supported OBD-II code. Review conservative next-observation guidance for a parked vehicle, with clear conditions for stopping and seeking qualified help. Guidance is preliminary, not a confirmed mechanical diagnosis. Enter a VIN manually or choose a barcode scan to retrieve vehicle characteristics. Review returned details before saving them. Keep observation plans, maintenance items and service records organized in your account-bound Garage. Free accounts include three guided analyses per calendar month. Verified Auto Wizard Pro access includes up to thirty per calendar month. Pro is an optional auto-renewable weekly subscription. Apple’s localized price, billing period and renewal terms appear before purchase. Restore purchases is available, including supported existing monthly and annual subscriptions. Auto Wizard does not read live OBD hardware, identify a vehicle by license plate or provide photo-based diagnosis. Do not perform checks while driving. Smoke, fuel or burning odors, overheating, oil-pressure warnings, and braking or steering changes require stopping and appropriate professional assistance. The app does not replace a qualified inspection. Sign in to save and access your Garage. Guest browsing remains available without subscribing. Privacy, Terms and Apple’s standard EULA are available in the app.
