Information, not a diagnosis
The AshAssist symptom checker and chat guidance are provided to help you describe a problem and understand your options. They do not diagnose your vehicle, and they cannot confirm whether a vehicle is safe to drive. Only a physical inspection by a qualified mechanic can do that.
Safety first
If your vehicle feels unsafe — braking, steering, smoke, overheating, warning lights or loud new noises — stop driving when safe and arrange appropriate assistance. In an immediate emergency, call 111.
No guarantee of accuracy
Website content, guides and AshAssist responses are provided in good faith but without warranty as to accuracy or completeness. Vehicle faults vary, and information may not cover your particular situation.
Your responsibility
You remain responsible for decisions you make based on website information, including whether and when to have your vehicle inspected or repaired. When in doubt, book an inspection — that's what we're here for.
Contact us — a real person replies, and we're happy to explain anything in plainer English.
