Portable Auto-Checking Gadgets

The CarCheckup Device Will Help You Monitor Your Driving

— January 19, 2011 — Autos
The CarCheckup is a portable device used specifically to gather simplistic data on a vehicle. This tool can be used to monitor the problematic car or is an item perfect for the concerned parent when their kids take the new coupe out for a spin.

The CarCheckup device also logs information such as mileage, speed, general RPM's, braking and acceleration, all efficiently displayed in an easy-to-read report.

CarCheckup is conveniently packaged all into one device. The possibility of losing that connection cable is trumped with its foldaway USB connector already device-mounted. This ensures a handy and quick connection to a PC in order to upload and view all the data CarCheckup has collected.
