Advanced Car software helps car owners and mechanics diagnose problems easily.

Most car owners will never know two things that’s costing them a lot of worry, time and hard earned money. One, it’s possible to cut fuel costs by at least 15% per year by doing a certain “hack” to the vehicle. Two, most car owners are flat out over-charged by service shops, and from now on can easily convince them to do almost any repair job for half the price.

“Every car since 1996 has a port that you can connect to your laptop. What most people don’t know is with the right software – you can hack the cars performance through this port and get all sorts of useful health and performance information,” said Mr. Alex Eisenberg of Total Car Diagnostics.

Caution Note Using Total Car Diagnostics ELM327 Scanner and All ELM327 Scantools Online

Just a quick note on TotalCarDiagnostics ELM327 USB cable. The ELM327 USB scanner (and other tools like it online) do NOT teach you to repair automobiles!

Further, they do NOT allow you to pass most state inspection just be resetting codes. ELM327 and software from Total Car Diagnostics called TOAD, will show you the current generic and manufacturer specific codes that have been triggered, as well as pending codes.

It WILL reset the codes, INCLUDING the monitor codes, however, you can't make the car pass inspection by just resetting the codes.

All of the, I/M Readiness," monitors MUST re-test and show, "Ready" before you can inspect the vehicle.

Save Money On Car Repairs: Best Ways To Save Money On Car Repairs

One way to find out pricing on car repairs is by doing a lookup in the neighborhood. Somewhere between the lowball and high numbers, this will be your more accurate price. Do this for every repair job. That way you know what is going on. This will also prevent you from being taken advantage of. Shops will do this to customers, especially those who don't know the real numbers. Always stay ahead of the game with car repairs.

It's best to keep tabs on duplicate charges. Sometimes mechanics will suggest fixing something, while they are looking at fixing something else. Look into this carefully. If the part will need to be replaced anyway, negotiate a lower charge. Some shops will work with you on this, others will not. Always ask questions.

Investing in Car Performance Tuning

Random thought of the day worth sharing:

There are a lot of concerns the average car owner is going to have about keeping costs down and a vehicle running properly. A vehicle that could use a solid tune up is definitely one that is going to be less costly to own. Who wants to spend money on major operational problems with a vehicle? No one, but when problems arise what can you do?

Well, as long as you are able to pinpoint the problems very early on, then you are not going to have to worry all that much about major troubles.

Car performance tuning is not all that tough provided you have a solid at-home DIY product capable of running a scan on the vehicle's software. Once the scan is run, a lot of troubles are revealed and action can be taken to address them.
