What is a CarMD? It is just about the coolest car helper around!

The CarMD is a tester that you can use to monitor and maintain the health of your 1996 and newer car, light truck, minivan and/or SUV for the life of your vehicle. It has these easy-to-read indicator lights that help you instantly diagnose the health of your vehicle, your family's vehicles, or even your neighbor's vehicles!

For example, CarMD can help you to:

• Examine a used car before buying

• Give your vehicle a clean bill of health before a family vacation or road trip

• Pre-“smog” test your car

• Know why your vehicle's "Check Engine" light is on

• Get a second opinion on your mechanic's report
