[♪...] [music changes] >> my husband just got deployed to iraq. and i don't know what to do now that the man of the house is no longer home. [laughs] i had to take care of everything. when i went in for the inspection for my car, they told me that it was something else totally wrong with my car. they wanted to charge me $1200 for a repair. i couldn't afford that. sure enough, i put on the carmd and it told me that it was actually a sensor. i saved over $825 with it. [engine roaring] >> i love cars, i always have, especially classic cars. [engine revs] i can understand them.
5:49 am
when i look at the engine or even listen to it running, i can easily determine what's wrong with it and i can fix it. today's vehicles are much more complex than this. sometimes i think i need a ph.d. in computer science to help me keep my newer cars healthy. that's where carmd comes in to simplify the whole vehicle diagnostic process, so you can easily figure out what's going on with your car. >> announcer: carmd is so advanced, even professional mechanics use it to diagnose their own vehicles. >> being a mechanic, uh, carmd is easier to use than a lot of the more traditional products out on the market. i would say the carmd is a lot better than some of the $5- or $6000-plus diagnostic machines that you can buy from other companies, with the simple fact that you can plug it into your laptop or desktop and see the parts cost, the labor costs of what it's roughly gonna cost you if you were to take into a mechanic and have them fix it or, if you're mechanically inclined, fix it yourself. >> as a new mom, there's nothing that scares me more than the thought of being stranded on the side of the road somewhere with
5:50 am
my baby. >> you know what? that is really scary. without carmd, none of us know the real health of our car right now or if a breakdown is around the corner. check engine light goes on and it could be anything, a $30 part or maybe a new catalytic converter, costing thousands. >> but carmd changes all that. i just plug it in and i instantly know what problem i have and what it should cost to get it fixed. so i never get ripped off again. >> to show us how amazing carmd is, we sent john curley out to meet with people just like you whose check engine lights have come on but have no idea what's wrong with their cars or what it will cost to fix them. they're gonna see for themselves how carmd can save them time and money. >> my light keeps coming on and off. >> why don't you take it in? >> they told me they needed up-front money for them to diagnose it. >> they wanna charge $100 to just plug it in and look at it. >> i'm afraid of what it might be. every time i take this thing in, it's 500 bucks at least, just to get it tested. >> it's $150 just to do the diagnosis. >> right.
5:51 am
>> and then they have all of these problems they say it has and then they charge you an arm and a leg. >> so what if you could diagnose it yourself? >> that would be awesome. >> are you ready? >> yeah. >> all right, here we go. you are about to find out what is wrong with your car. so look at this, big green check for you, which means your engine is fine, o.k.? here's the interesting thing. 'cause there's been a recall on the seat belt latch on the front seat. and here's the beauty, you ready? cost? nothing for you. >> really? >> really. ...what carmd found for you is you have seven recalls on this car right now. and you were driving around with some brake fluid problems, the fact that you had none. >> oh my god. >> the good news is that the recalls don't cost you anything, o.k.? take them in and they would take care of them. how's it make you feel? >> hugely relieved and it's providing me with information that could literally save my life. >> to fix a temperature sensor was $133.56. >> whoo, that's great. >> so when you walk in with this and this, what are you going to explain to that mechanic? what does carmd do? >> carmd, i hook it up to my car, it'll tell me exactly
5:52 am
what's wrong it and how much it costs to fix it, so you guys can't pull the wool over my eyes. >> carmd says? $25. >> what? how can that be? >> it's $25 because there's a problem with the gas cap, o.k.? 'cause there's a recall on this car, there could be a leak in the gas tank and that could also be part of the problem as well. so what carmd has done for you is what, john? >> saved me about $1000. would have had to buy my own gas tank. i didn't know about the recall. new gas cap and then another $200 bucks to get it diagnosed. >> now i can go into my mechanic with confidence and know that they're not going to rip me off, as they have a tendency to do, especially with women. so i feel a lot more confident having this, you know, carmd. >> they've got some mysterious machine they plug in and then they know and now i know. >> john: what do you have? >> i have carmd. >> chris: that's what carmd can do for you, too. save you hundreds, maybe thousands of dolrs on car repairs, even find out when the dealers should be fixing your car for free. plus you'll be able to find and fix hidden problems before they
