Car diagnostics for everyone
Hi! I'm the founder and creator of the original OBD Auto Doctor software. Years ago, I had issues with my car and wanted to understand them better. After some research, I discovered a system called On-Board Diagnostics — a computer system found in all modern cars that provides valuable information about the car's health and condition.
At the time, there weren't any affordable or easy-to-use solutions available for people like me — car enthusiasts and do-it-yourself mechanics. I became so fascinated by the OBD2 system that I wanted to fully understand it and build a tool myself. I also wanted to share my knowledge and help others get to know their cars better.
Today, I'm still part of the core team. You might even receive a support email reply from me! I'm involved in daily operations, learning about your needs and helping to keep the business moving forward. I truly enjoy working with this technology and sharing both my expertise and the tool with you!

How Did We Get Here?
Riku started building the car diagnostics software for people like you after graduating from Tampere University of Technology in 2010. With a major in embedded systems, he had the technical expertise to develop the tool. He had also previously worked on software projects involving Engine Control Unit (ECU) development.
After determined and focused work, Riku released the first version of the software in early 2011. Since then, the software has been a success. Over the years, it has grown and expanded — adding macOS support in addition to Windows, and introducing mobile apps for both Android and iOS.
Today, this leading car diagnostic solution has been downloaded by millions of car owners. It has helped countless users identify and resolve issues with their vehicles.
