- Use the popular topic cards first when they match your question, because they cover the questions the shop hears most.
- Open a diagnostic or symptom page when the vehicle has a warning light, no-start, leak, noise, overheating, electrical issue, or drivability concern.
- Use the inspection and certification pages when the question is tied to a used-vehicle purchase, certification, or warranty support.
