Abstract
The present invention includes a system for assisting the user in the diagnosis of vehicle repairs. The system includes a computer, software program, dat storage medium, CRT and user input devices which permit the user to select from displayed menus. The user can select various sounds to be produced so as to match the sound produced by the system with that the user's vehicle is making. The system seeks to minimize the amount of time the service repairman must spend in diagnosing the problems with the user's vehicle.
