Autel MaxiScan MS300 Reviews

Autel MaxiScan MS300 OBD-II scan tool is a must have
This tool is an invaluable tool that should be in every would be motorcycle or auto enthusiast's garage. As a motorcyclist I am regularly wrenching on my own motorcycles and this tool saves me time and money by quickly and accurately diagnosing trouble codes that even the most novice mechanic, garage rat, DIY or mechanically inclined vehicle owner can use. I have used this tool to diagnose issues on friends' motorcycles and it can do the same for any American, Japanese or Euriopean motor vehicle manufactured after 1996. If you are a biker and you spend time in the garage working on your own machine you should have one of these. It's about the size of a large cell phone and has easy to use instructions. I was in the market for one of these and Amazon happened to have it for the right price. I had actually purchased almost the exact same unit from Harbor Freight but returned it 2 hours later after finding this one on Amazon for significantly less with free shipping and no sales tax.


Autel MaxiScan MS300 does what it says
Bought this to diagnose a check engine light on a 2003 VW Passat, the car had a handful of codes that the book was able to identify but what worked the best was simply clearing all the codes and then taking it back through the state emissions check again. I waited until the computers had reset and ran it back through again and it passed. Let me back up a second and say that simply unhooking the battery didn't work, it took care of the light but didn't fool the state computers. Once the car was driven for about thirty miles the light came back on. It would not reset the airbag light though that was turned on when I had to disconnect the passenger side airbag to reinforce the glove box. I guess that is a more complex scanner. I bought this scanner on a gold box deal along with a Bosch O2 sensor that I ended up not even needing. These types of scanners should be in every ones tool box that works on their own cars at all.


Autel MaxiScan MS300 scan tool
A check engine light came on in my van. I ordered the scan unit and I used it and found I had a o2 sensor out and had it replaced. a few days ago my son had a check engine check light cone on and I read all three codes. he has misses in #1 and #3 cylinders. Great code reader for around $30 and it let you know what is wrong. after reading the codes just look them up on line to get more information. I worked on the older cars but the newer ones I am just catching up on the computer thing. Forrest  

Autel MaxiScan MS300 A straightforward product
This product looks decently made. Easy to use. I hooked it up to read the code, got the infor and turned off the engine light all within 15-20 minutes. I do not need anything else feature. I am happy with this product.  

Autel MaxiScan MS300 Excellent Value
This product came quickly and is a great value for the money.
My local shops charge between $40-$100 dollars for a DTC scan.
This product is easy to use and quickly and accurately identified the issue I was experiencing.
Very pleased and highly recommend.
It has more options that I had anticipated as well.
