This device is meant to plug into your car in a port where your mechanic would plug in his 00 diagnostic machine to figure out what is wrong with your car for you. I did some online customer reviews for it, and some people love it and others had a lot of problems with the software (after you plug the device into your car, you then upload the data into your computer and then get a reading as to what the problem is).

Seeing as I am still somewhat new to my area and don’t yet have a mechanic (I’ve been lucky to not need one, yet! knock on wood), and seeing as I don’t know incredibly much about cars beyond changing the oil filter (and what I hear on Car Talk, haha), I was thinking this would be a good investment at 0 for the device so that I can get an assessment of any problems before I was to bring the car into a shop.

Does anyone have any opinions on CarMD?

Thanks!
