Users can easily clear the code if they can rectify it themselves, which will come as welcome news to those seeking to avoid unnecessary fees for common car repair issues.

The BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro OBD-II Scan Tool will also provide Repair Reports that are specific to your specific vehicle to know exactly what to tell a mechanic or what parts drivers might need to purchase.
