Is Your Check Engine Light On? AutoXray Launches New Consumer Product

TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 2, 2004 -- AutoXray Inc., has been a leader in providing cost-effective, automotive scan tools for professional automotive technicians and Do It Yourselfers (DIYers) for the past ten years. Now, they are introducing two new products, the AutoXray CodeScout and CodeTrack geared specifically to those who have no mechanical expertise.

The new AutoXray CodeScout is AutoXray's first foray into the consumer marketplace. The CodeScout tells you what trouble codes are causing your "CHECK ENGINE" light to come on and empowers you with that information before a costly trip to a repair shop. It will then tell you in plain English -- no codes to decipher -- what has triggered the problem, enabling consumers to determine whether or not the problem can be fixed easily at home or if a trip to a professional technician is required. If the problem warrants a trip to the service station, the consumer will already know what the problem is, protecting them from unnecessary repairs. The CodeScout will also run a check to show if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. It will alert you to problems and enable you to troubleshoot them, giving you peace of mind before going for the emissions test.

The AutoXray CodeTrack is the perfect resource for just about anyone, even those with no previous mechanical experience. Once you've retrieved your vehicle's trouble code, you can use CodeTrack to find out exactly how to fix it. For those who seek in depth information, the AutoXray CodeTrack software program allows you to track the code to a detailed description, common symptoms and step-by-step diagnostic advice helping you get on the road faster. The CodeTrack program is written in clear, concise language for consumers yet provides information that can be useful for the professional technician. AutoXray consulted with professional training organizations to insure that the CodeTrack software program is easy to understand and use.

By using the CodeScout and CodeTrack together, consumers will finally be empowered with the knowledge of what's wrong with the vehicle and how to fix it.

The AutoXray CodeScout will be available to consumers early in 2005 with a MSRP of $129.99, and the CodeTrack will retail for $129.99 making it an affordable alternative to expensive trips to the repair shop. Both the CodeScout and CodeTrack can be used on vehicles from 1996 to current model year.

Just like all AutoXray products, AutoXray CodeScout and CodeTrack will be available at major retailers nationwide or at www.autoxray.com.
