Practical information

Cars with engine, transmission or starting problems

An engine knock, a slipping transmission and a dead battery are not the same issue. Share known symptoms without inventing a mechanical diagnosis. If a garage has identified the problem, a short description is usually enough for an initial vehicle review.

A non-running car can still be submitted. Explain whether it starts, can shift to neutral, has rolling wheels and has usable keys. Those details can affect an eventual handling or transport discussion.

Search terms such as blown engine, bad transmission, car won’t start and mechanical breakdown describe different situations. A fair review needs the actual condition, photos and location; no price, purchase or pickup is guaranteed.

Common questions

Must I fix the transmission before submitting?

No. Describe the known fault and current condition.

Can I submit a car with a seized engine?

Yes, for assessment. Mention whether the wheels and steering remain usable.

Can I submit an EV with an electrical fault?

Describe the issue without touching high-voltage components. Eligibility is reviewed individually.
