Understand your car problem before you call the garage
Describe a noise, a warning light or a symptom. Meca asks a few questions, tells you whether it's safe to drive and — with Premium — how much it may cost.
No credit card · 3 free diagnostics a month · safety information is always free
How it works
Describe your problem
In a few words, with or without a photo: “it knocks at the front when I brake”.
Answer a few questions
Like a mechanic trying to understand, Meca asks at most 3 precise questions.

Meca informs, a mechanic decides
Meca gives general information and estimates, never a guaranteed diagnostic for your specific vehicle nor a quote. For any serious sign (brakes, steering, smoke, overheating), Meca tells you to stop and see a professional. Prices are estimates based on a reference grid for the Québec market.
