Anyone with a check engine light on CHECK ME OUT!!!

Hey people, well i recently purchased a pretty badass OBD2 code reader, it was kinda pricey and im trying to recoup some of the money i spent. SO im offering my services as a code clearer for 10 bucks if you come to me, 20 if your local to sd and i come to you. If you have a check engine light on and are OBD2 anything ( not just hondas) hit me up and i would be more than happy to erase it for you.

DEALERS CHARGE AT LEAST 65 bucks, my boy paid 85 for it last week.

Ill write your code down and you can take it to the dealer or replace the parts yourself..

this is a good deal for any of you guys.

let me know what your guys need
Ryan

I'm going to rain on your parade. You can find out what CEL code you're getting at Autozone for FREE. You can also erase it with their code reader. A little less pricey than what you're charging.

Im sorry but this is a rip off!!! Dont tell me you cant find Autozone or Pepboys within 10 miles in ur area that can do this for free. Ppl who I know who bought scanners to make up their $$ dont do this. Charge ppl $10 to see what code they got. They do side jobs, they check the code and do the repair! Thats how u make up your $$ on the scanner you bought.

If you really wanna become a tech you should help customers do the repair then to just have em pay $10 to tell em "ok theres something wrong with this, you go get the part and fix it yourself"

i've read his post and i havent seen anything from him saying that he wants to be a tech. im not trying to defend him or nothing, but geez, leave the guy alone. if ure not interested in what he has to offer then refrain from the thread, its that simple.

hate hate hate. Like i said, autozone dosent come to you. If you think its ok to drive your car in limp mode all around town then by all means do so and leave me the F alone.
Helping people out is not a ripoff and noone is being taken advantage of by a dealership which WILL and i repeat WILL charge you at least 60 just to tell you the same thing i can... If someone needed mechanical help id do that for free, just for the fun of working on the car..
You gotta understand that lots of people are not mechanically inclined and a check engine light to alot of people is like the end of the world...Just because your all " honda hardcore tuning experts" dosent mean everyone else is. I know ignorance is bliss but dont be so ignorant that you cant see the true helpful nature of this post....

Please keep the flamming to you in your hot pants in palm springs.

you smartasses talk to much.... quit runnin your suck holes.

just to let people know, if you simple wanna turn off the check engine light off.... maintanence book, it's easier than ever and takes.... exactly 20 seconds. and i hope everyone, if not already aware, knows that the dealer puts the light on a "milage timer" so that it will go off after soo many miles (my friend tells me this.... so it might be bull ****) haha

.....as for the codes, this guys is offering you the answer, whether or not you wanna spend 10 bux, up to you. GL on your investment.

Its easy all you need to do is have the key on the "off" position, press and hold the odometer reset button and then turn to key "on" position and hold it for about 10 sec then..... WALA!!! the maintnance light magically dissappears!!!
