About DashMedic
A check-engine light tells you something is wrong and nothing else. DashMedic turns that code into a straight answer — so you walk into the shop knowing what you're there for.
Enter your code
The code from a scan tool, a free read at a parts store, or a cheap plug-in reader. No code? Describe what the car is doing.
We match it to your car
We look up what the code means, and check for recalls and service bulletins issued for your exact make, model, and year.
Get a straight answer
Whether it's safe to drive, what's most likely wrong, what the repair typically costs, and a line you can read straight to your mechanic.
Drivers who want to understand the repair before approving it — and the shops who'd rather explain it once than argue about it twice. Checking whether your car is safe to drive is always free.
DashMedic is grounded in the standard fault-code definitions every car shares, plus public NHTSA recall and service-bulletin records — and it sharpens as drivers and shops confirm what actually fixed each problem.
