Reviews

Honest reviews of the tools, parts and services I’ve bought and used on my own cars: OBD2 adapters, tyres, service packages, apps. Every one is tested for weeks, not summarised from a spec sheet, with what it cost, what worked, what didn’t, and who should skip it. Written to help you decide before you spend.
