+1 on both counts... How is it different from a glorified code reader? Ok, a little more convenient than reading code and doing a search on it, but unlikely to solve the really hard 'stumper' stuff.

1. Has an OBD-II car 2. has a computer 3. has at least a high 2 digit IQ I think you qualify. You plug it into the OBD-II port (and it tells you where you can find it in your car). It records the code(s). You plug into the computer and launch the app. It tells you what the code is, what it means, and what the likely fix(es) is. To that, it adds an estimate for parts and labor, so that you don't go to a mechanic and get charged $500 for a loose gas cap that throws a check engine light. I think it's designed specifically for the type of person you're describing.
