Re: "Smart Auto Management"

NOW... Theres a good idea..
AND Proubably already thought of.. such as a half off diagnostic re-read costs... piffle..
If I were a shop I would want to verify the code myself. The shop could just replace the part on prior agreement the responsibility is on the customer and make more $$.. If there is a,, ... hate to use the word but it's appropriate.. ignorant customer that wants to just replace the error response indicated part they may want to take the gamble and do it try their luck. Seems shops swap parts liberally nowadays anyway.
I have dragged my car in with a Camshaft code error and told the shop to bypass the diagnostics and just replace the CRankshaft sensor.. I was right but luck, it wasn't. It was the only thing left to replace. I didn't have the time, nor the tools.
