Vehicle Diagnostic Code Readers
Feb 8 update: The $20 coupon mention below has expired, but the Equus 3130 diagnostic code reader is now available for $169.99 (even lower than the after-coupon price earlier).
If you’ve had the Check Engine light go on in your vehicle, you know that it takes time and/or money to take the vehicle somewhere just to find out why the light is on. Once or twice is not too bad, but if you have to do it more than that it gets frustrating. Not too long ago, I purchased an Equus OBDII code reader for my cars and already it has paid off in the convenience it has offered me. These days code readers are inexpensive, easy to use, and very informative…for many car owners, it makes sense to have one available in case it is needed.
Amazon.com currently has some excellent deals on ODBII/CAN diagnostic code readers for a few different brands and models. If you purchase over $99 in automotive parts and accessories sold by Amazon.com (third-party sellers are excluded), you can save $20 instantly. Just use the promo code ILW7MGWS during the checkout process. More details on this coupon are available here. And as usual, orders over $25 get Free Shipping and for most states there is no tax.
