Greetings, I'm Henry Crichton,
Chief Mechanic and owner of Software For Cars.
After accumulating over 25 years of automotive diagnostics, repair and performance tuning
experience, we are pleased to provide sales of OBD II scan tools
(developed and manufactured in the USA). Scan tools are very
useful instruments that connect to your on-board vehicle computer,
revealing pertinent information about the operation of your car. They are
easy to use and will help even a novice to understand where problems might
be occurring. Welcome to our OBD 2 scan
tools
website; please have a look at the scan tools
below that can help you
peer into the inner workings of your vehicle.
Since
we created this website in '99, many of you have shown a lot of
interest in my classic old 56 BelAir coupe. I guess she can
almost claim antique status at this point, but she'll still outrun a
lot of those fancy new cars. We'll be expanding our coverage of
classic auto and antique issues, and we'll be providing a directory
of services that relate specifically to classic old car and antique
vehicles, such as insurance, sales values, restoration, parts and
custom accessories, etc.
If you're a classic auto trader, dealer or collector, you'll find classic
and antique cars for sale and auction, as well as resources for
determining classic car values and prices.

... injection molded plastic, which is chrome foil plated and triple
coated with lacquer to stand up to the elements and car washings. With
normal care, each plate may last longer than the vehicle it's mounted to.
They are attached with peel and stick neoprene automotive-type adhesive
tape, or if you wish, they can be affixed with a magnetic strip at

Why buy a scan tool? Read our Journal
section about engine repairs on a 98 Dodge Ram pickup and you'll see how
it could save you thousands of dollars in repair costs.
In the '70's the first electronic monitoring systems for cars were installed to help reduce atmospheric emissions. The original American
system, called OBD-I (On Board Diagnostics I) later evolved into OBD II
(1996) as the digital electronics improved. We have a full complement of
electronic scanning equipment required to read this information, as well
as years of experience analyzing and interpreting the data results.
Check out our Products section and see how
easy it is to get your own scan tool and start
doing your own monitoring ... you can increase your mileage, reduce fuel
consumption, save on repair costs and help keep the environment clean.

Or, if you prefer driving an older car, take a look at my '56
Chevy; we can't plug computers into it, but it's fun to work on
(and drive).
