Actron Autoscanner Review : Best Price

I am not an expert, but I researched these quite a bit and have used other cheaper OBDII readers before. This has nice advanced features like freeze frame capture and real time sensor monitors. The advanced features are probably only useful if you know what the readings should be, so this is not a beginner’s tool. This seems to be in the “sweet spot” of these products before the prices go up exponentially with higher-end models. It supports the newest CAN bus. This is a good tool for the advanced home mechanic.

Just what I was looking for, would have given 5 stars except for the software and update process is not the greatest. I paid $269.00 and I think it is well worth this price, even more if they would revamp the software and update process!

It has done all I asked it to and all the accessories were with it. I plan to ask it more in the future as I haven’t had a chance to hook it up to the computer and upload data for review yet. But in the short time i have had it, it had been a tremendous help.

I bought this product after having taken my 2002 GMC truck to the shop four(4) times repeatedly for the check engine light coming on. I spent $342 trying to fix the problem. After checking my truck with the new scanner I found that all I needed was an $11 gas cap to stop check engine light from coming on. Never again will I be taken advantage of by the service department.

I found the 9190 to be a great tool. It provides all the data I was looking for and displays in graph form data streems that I was needing to see. The Snap On scantools are much more exspensive and the Actron makes looking into ones own car service affordable. Thanks Actron
