Carautonomy — car parts and warning lights explained

Our mission

Cars feel like sealed black boxes to most people. When something goes wrong, you're at the mercy of whoever's holding the spanner — and the language they use.

Carautonomy is here to fix that. We explain the parts inside your car in friendly, plain English — with short animations and rough UK prices — so you can walk into a garage knowing roughly what's wrong, what to ask, and what's fair to pay.

What's coming

Got a part you'd like explained?

We're adding new components every week. Have a suggestion? Get in touch and we'll bump it up the list.
