Find out what's wrong with your car, in plain English.
A free app and a small plug for your car. Together they tell you what the warning light means, whether you can keep driving, and what a fair repair costs.
Free on iPhone and Android. Checking your car and clearing the warning light stay free.

SKANYX Pro
An example scan with real repair-cost data, not a diagnosis of your car. Only a scan of your own car can name its actual fault. Skanyx does that in about a minute.
Three steps. No car knowledge needed.
Get a plug
A small Bluetooth plug, about €25 to €60 online. It goes into a socket under your steering wheel and stays there. Nearly every car from the last 20 years has one.

Ask anything, like a friend who knows cars
It already knows your car and what the check found, so the answer is about your car, not cars in general.

Questions people ask first
- Will it work on my car?
- Almost certainly. Petrol cars sold in Europe since 2001 and diesels since 2004 have the socket the plug needs, and in the US every car since 1996. Electric cars vary by model.
- Can it harm my car?
- No. The app reads what your car already reports and can clear a warning light. It never reprograms anything. If the fault is still there, the light comes back.
- I already have a plug. Will it work?
- Most Bluetooth plugs do. On an iPhone it has to be a Bluetooth Low Energy model. Wi-Fi plugs are not supported.
- What is free, and what is Pro?
- Reading and clearing fault codes, live readings and 3 AI answers a week are free, with no time limit. Pro adds the health score, the repair forecast and AI answers with no weekly limit.
