We read on-site in 10 min (€89, deducted if you validate the intervention).

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI be wrong?

For generic codes (P0xxx), reliability is very high. For manufacturer codes (B-DTC airbag, U-DTC CAN network), we always confirm in-workshop with an OEM Bosch/Autel tool before any firm quote.

What if my code isn't listed?

Type it anyway: AI attempts contextual analysis. Last resort, come in Drive-In Express, we diagnose in 15 min.

Are the prices final?

No — it's an indicative range based on our real 2024-2026 interventions in Ostend. Firm quote follows an OEM physical diagnostic (€89, deducted if you validate).

Does it burn fuel if I keep driving?

Depends on the code. A P0420 (catalyst): yes, slightly. A P0299 (turbo): yes, heavily. A B1001 (airbag): no, but safety risk. AI systematically reports urgency.
