CarScan Diagnostic Services

The Services provided under this Agreement are meant to provide a basic overview of probable cause(s) and vehicle related awareness information concerning the electronic- and emissions-related systems in your vehicle. Probable cause(s) and Probable Fix(es) are based on years of historical data compiled by ASE Certified Master Technicians. Repair/cost estimates may be provided, and are based on parts and labor costs broken down by U.S. region.

Customers who purchase/utilize the CarScan Diagnostic Services (Services) may use a small device to plug into their vehicle’s OBD port, typically located beneath the steering column. The device collects and sends information from the vehicle to the CarScan website to allow CarScan to derive information concerning the likely vehicle condition, vehicle repairs, maintenance schedules, recalls, etc. Though that information has been found to be reliable, the information provided by the Services is not guaranteed to be accurate and is not intended to be a substitute for advice, diagnosis or repair by a qualified professional technician.

The CarScan website, API and software application contents, including text, graphics, images and other information (“Content”) are for informational purposes only. The CarScan Services should be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, a regular automotive maintenance program, which also includes basic mechanical upkeep such as regularly checking your tire pressure, brake pads, belts, oil and fluids, etc. CarScan does not recommend that you ignore or avoid the advice of a qualified technician, solely because of Content you read on the CarScan website, software application, or a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) you receive from any device. Always seek the advice of your personal mechanic, dealership or an ASE Certified automotive technician with any questions you may have regarding vehicle maintenance or concerns. If you have an automotive emergency, pull to the side of the road, turn off the engine and call a qualified roadside maintenance service.

The CarScan website, API and software application contain varying levels of accessibility and information offerings, depending on user’s membership status.
