Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Autel MaxiCheck Pro ABS Autobleed OBD2 Diagnostic Tool: Affordable, Lifetime Free Update, Ideal for Technicians and DIYers by Russell Robertson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not impressive - retail price approx. $49.99

This will not connect to two of my computers. Probably a problem with the USB driver, but I didn't want to waste time on it after plugging in the USB 2 and USB 3 ports. I was able to download the updated software to an SD card by plugging it into the computer, but I couldn't update the device myself. The device connects to my car and reads the codes. However, the vehicle information screen never shows an error. If it cannot display vehicle information, how can I rely on the data provided? Also, you cannot manually enter your car for diagnosis. When switching to ABS or SRS, data such as the year of manufacture, model and make are requested. My 15 year old unit does everything except ABS and SRS and keeps the model entered until switched to another vehicle. Build quality is cheap plastic. I opened the case and was happy to try it. As soon as I picked it up I started to lose interest. My brother sat next to me and told me what the instructions said and I kept telling him it didn't work. Then I let him try it himself. He tried to convince me to bleed the anti-lock brakes before handing it back, I would never have believed her. I'm sending it back because it's just not worth it.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Reliability
