the problem with online diagnostics is you're leaving yourself open to liability... to properly diagnose a car you must have it in your hands.

Why don't you start a blog, start by making up a few questions and provide answers to them. It may take a bit to get started - but you could also do a small ad on facebook to draw attention to the blog. And you could set up a phone number for people to call if they needed immediate advice - one of the numbers that charges by the minute.

Get your "best answer %" up to 30% or more, here first. Then you can contact this site and make good money. Good luck

If you can do it for real there is no point in doing it on the internet you'll get paid more working locally. Unless you are just helping people for free like on here. But...to tell you the truth the majority of people answer on yahoo are only here to help the informed and able versus the person who is being cheap. The bulk of people that would "pay" for mechanical advice on the internet are the kind of people who won't be able to do the work themselves anyway. A good example are the people asking the "change my timing belt" questions...the bulk of these come from people that don't even own a decent socket set let alone specialty tools and knowledge to do it right.
