Best practices — getting diagnostics done right
Know what good looks like before you book:
Don't ignore a check-engine light — small faults cascade
Get a real diagnosis before authorizing any repair
Note when/how the issue happens to help diagnosis
Address flashing engine lights immediately
Why it's worth it
Know the real problem before you pay to fix it
Avoid unnecessary 'guess-and-replace' repairs
Diagnosed at your location
Clear priority on what needs doing
Diagnostics: $120 upfront
That’s the price you pay (plus sales tax for your province) — book a vetted local pro in minutes.
Sign in and Genie matches you with the nearest top-rated, verified pro and shows your price before you book. On the day your pro checks in, completes the work to the agreed scope, and shares completion photos where it makes sense — then you review and approve.
How to prepare
Park somewhere accessible with a little room to work around the car
Remove personal items from the areas being serviced
Have your keys and any relevant details ready
Note any specific issues or spots to focus on
Every mobile car care pro on Genie is background-checked and reviewed — and you'll see your price the moment you sign in.

Your payment is held securely and only released when you confirm the diagnostics job is done to your satisfaction. Workmanship is warrantied, and support is a tap away if anything's off.
