In December, I had an oil change at the Mr Lube at the Home Deport in
Waterloo.<br>
Included as part of the service they did a diagnostic but were not able
to print out the results.<br>
They did, however, tell me what codes were showing.<br>
<br>
Note: The oil change was not one of $19.95 bargain basement jobs.<br>
(I went for the promotional freebie windshield wipers.)<br>

a lot of nice tech there, but probably way outside my price range. I
basically just want to know if my engine light is on because it's the
gas cap loose or something insignificant like that. I'm not interested
in changing any settings or collecting data, etc.<br>

I'm not a mechanic, but it seems to me that NAPA has many similar
items..<br>

I know of an app for an Android Smartphone called Torque.<br>
(I have never used the app.)<br>
The catch: The app is only US$5 but one needs a Bluetooth ODB-II dongle
plugged into the vehicle's diagnostic port.<br>

Hi guys, I've found on Amazon an Android compatible OBD-II/OBD2
diagnostic scanner such as one described in this article:<br>

but if there is a place that sells them locally I'd rather get it from
there. Does anyone know of a place (or places) in KW that sells this
kind of tech?<br>
