Does this diagnose what's wrong with my car?
No, and it's deliberately built not to. It only turns your description into a clearer write-up for a mechanic, plus a short list of possibilities framed as things to ask about, never as a confident conclusion. Only a real mechanic inspection can actually diagnose the problem.
Why doesn't it just tell me what's broken?
Car problems can have many different causes that look identical from the driver's seat, a squeal could be brake pads, a belt, or something else entirely. Giving a confident-sounding but wrong diagnosis could send you toward the wrong (and costly) repair, so the tool only lists possibilities to raise with a professional.
What should I do with the result?
Bring or read the description to your mechanic, and use the "possible causes" list as questions to ask them, not as a pre-decided answer.
