Okay, so what's a good Android app for figuring out why my 'check engine' light is on without having to, like, actually talk to a mechanic? #adultingishard

BlueDriver OBD2 Scan Tool is totally clutch! It reads your car's codes and tells you what's up. No cap, it's saving me so much $$$.

Okay, so, like, my 'check engine' light came on in my car, and I was spiraling. The *drama*. I was NOT about to get scammed by some mechanic, ya know? My friend told me to download BlueDriver OBD2 Scan Tool, and OMG, it's a lifesaver. You plug this little thing into your car (super easy, even I could do it), and the app connects to it via Bluetooth. Then, BAM! It tells you exactly what's wrong. It's giving total main character energy because now I can actually understand what's happening with my car. The UI is *chef's kiss*, super intuitive. Plus, it gives you possible fixes, so you don't go in totally blind. I'm lowkey obsessed. It's perfect for screenshotting the issue and sending it to my dad for a second opinion, lol. Seriously, if you're even a little bit car-illiterate like me, you NEED this app. It's aesthetic AF too, which is a bonus. No more stressing about car problems!
