BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool Review – BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool is a plug-in tool that scans your vehicle to look for mechanical issues and sends the results right to your phone. It operates just like the computer scan the auto shops and dealerships run that they charge up to $150 for. Now, you can do it yourself for free after purchasing the BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool for under $150.

OAKLAND COUNTY MOMS PRODUCT REVIEWS

How many times has it happened? Your check engine light goes on and you have no idea why only to take it to a garage where the first thing the mechanic says is… “It’s going to cost $150 just for me to scan it to find out what the problem is and then we’ll go from there.” The BlueDriver eliminates this. The scan tool also goes a step further with suggested repairs.

The BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool is very easy to use. To pair the unit to your car, you download the app, input the VIN, and then use Bluetooth to pair the device. You simply plug it into the open prong circuit under the steering wheel dash, and then use your cell phone and the downloaded app to run a scan. The scan will tell you of any issues that it detects with your car.

You can also use the BlueDriver to keep track of your vehicle’s maintenance. The BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool automatically pulls up your vehicle’s maintenance plan once you’ve input the VIN.

We have already used the BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool several times and it’s saved us some money. It helps to walk into the auto shop and let the mechanic know the likely issue. It gives them a place to start, and since time is money, money is saved. If you have a decent enough relationship with your mechanic, sometimes you can give them the error codes and they will trust it and move forward with it. We’ve also had the experience where they’ve told us they still want to run their own scan and can’t take our word for it. That’s when we just go somewhere else and find a mechanic who will help us.

I was hesitant that the scanner wasn’t going to be able to identify problems trickier than tire pressure or a complete lack of oil, but I was wrong. It’s very specific and detailed. It immediately identified my son’s older Ford Escape as having a problem with a spark plug coil. Not only that, it identified the exact spark plug that was having the problem. We were able to simply take it to a mechanic and say “cylinder 4 spark plug coil is bad” and they could get right to work on it instead of plugging in the car, identifying the problem and costing us hundreds.

We found out about the BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool when my mother-in-law gifted my son with her car when she decided to buy a new one. She thoughtfully took her car into a mechanic to get it a full look over before passing the car on to her grandson. The mechanic must have used a BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool from their shop, and accidentally forgot it in the car.

We had no idea this happened. The whole time my son saw the unit plugged in under his dash down by his feet we were thinking my mother-in-law’s car came with it. We thought that was pretty cool. When we told her (about 3 years later) how the BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool saved us when my son had an issue with the car, she had no idea what we were talking about. That’s when we figured it out. We Googled the unit and saw that they sell the exact same one on Amazon. So, we purchased a second one to share for my husband’s car and my car. You can move the BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool from car to car.

If your teen is a new driver and their vehicle is getting on in years (and miles), this device (that pairs with their phone) is essential.

No one paid me to write this BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool review, I received no compensation and did not receive a free product for review. Opinions and recommendations are entirely my own.
