Real-world example

Meet John from Drogheda

John is driving home when his engine warning light turns on. He doesn't know what it means and worries the mechanic might overcharge him.

🔍 What John does

John buys an OBD scanner from buRm, plugs it into his car, and reads the code. Then he opens be youR mechanic and enters:

📊 What buRm shows him
Simple Explanation

Your car's exhaust system is not working as efficiently as expected. This is commonly linked to the catalytic converter or sensors.

Severity
🟡 Medium — Not an emergency, but should be checked soon
Possible Causes
  • • Faulty oxygen sensor
  • • Exhaust leak
  • • Catalytic converter issue
Repair Cost
€100 – €1,200
Ireland estimate
Keep Driving?
Yes — but fix within a few days. Fuel efficiency may drop.
Questions to Ask Your Mechanic
  • "Did you test the oxygen sensors first?"
  • "Could this be an exhaust leak?"
  • "Can you confirm the issue before replacing the catalytic converter?"
✅ The result
  • • John walks into the mechanic confident and informed. Instead of blindly agreeing, he asks the right questions — and avoids unnecessary costs.
  • • He avoids unnecessary costs, skips the €30–€40 diagnosis fee, and saves time by going straight to fixing the issue — not figuring it out.
