Anyone Can Solve the Mysteries of Auto Repair

New Scan Tool Translates 'Check Engine Light'

TEMPE, Ariz., May 20 -- AutoXray, the leading provider of cost-effective automotive diagnostic scanners, offers a great gift for dads, moms, car aficionados, "Do-It-Yourselfers," "Do-it-for-Me's" or anyone who wants to easily understand what's wrong when their car says, "Check Engine Light."

The EZ-Scan and EZ-Read products from AutoXray allow users to plug the simple device into the diagnostic connector and immediately know how their vehicle is performing. The AutoXray product lines are affordable gift ideas, with prices starting at $159.99.

"The EZ-Scan translates any auto problem into plain English," says Bill Miller, president of AutoXray. "Once users have this information, they can decide whether they want to fix it themselves or bring it into the repair shop armed with knowledge of what is happening with their car."

Consumers can use this tool to monitor systems that affect fuel efficiency, among other things, ultimately helping them save money on gas.

It is also the first diagnostic scanner on the market to support the automotive industry's new standard-Controller Area Network or CAN. All automobiles will have this federal requirement by 2008. See www.autoxray.com/can.htm.

AutoXray's products' patented technology, functionality, and compact design have received the Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award for three years in a row.

EZ-Scan and EZ-Read diagnostic tools are available at retailers including Kragen Auto Parts, Checker Auto Parts, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and NAPA or at www.autoxray.com. AutoXray's family of diagnostic scanners and code readers are also available in Spanish. AutoXray customers have the option to swap out their existing hardware or re-configure it through a simple software upgrade. See www.autoxray.com.
