AutoXray Earns Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award Second Year in a Row

    TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 1 For the second straight year,
AutoXray has been selected for the prestigious Popular Mechanics 2000 Editor's
Choice Award, given for new automotive products in recognition of their
innovation, creative design and impact on the automotive industry.
    This year Popular Mechanics singled out AutoXray's EZ Link Scanner
Graphics Display for the honor.  The display enables EZ Link Scanner users to
view diagnostic information in graphic form, right on the hand held tool.
Previously, only alpha-numeric information was available.
    "AutoXray has proven itself to be a consistent innovator in the industry,"
says Jay McGill, Popular Mechanics publisher.  "This award recognizes their
commitment to new and better tools for mechanics and DIYers alike."
    "We're delighted to be honored by Popular Mechanics again this year," says
William Miller, AutoXray founder and CEO.  "The magazine's readers are our
ideal customers.  They are the people for whom we're working to develop new
technologies to make auto maintenance and repair easier.  We're pleased to
share this synergy with Popular Mechanics, and to be recognized with this
award."
    The Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award reaffirms AutoXray's position
as a leader in the industry.  Last year, AutoXray's EZ Link Scanner itself won
the award.  The EZ Link Scanner is an easy-to-use handheld diagnostic tool
that scans car computers for a clear picture of the automobile's mechanical
performance.  It reports on trouble codes in plain English, accesses and
displays tests, resets the Check Engine Light, as well as numerous other
diagnostic features.  From monitoring vehicle performance to verifying the
repairs of others, the EZ-Link Scanner provides a reliable, user-friendly
alternative to timely and expensive automotive diagnostic work.  Now, with the
Graphics Display, the EZ Link Scanner is even more effective.

    Based in Tempe, Arizona, AutoXray is the leader in affordable diagnostic
scanning solutions for both professional and amateur mechanics.  In addition
to numerous industry awards, AutoXray has been named a Top Ten High Tech
Company by Arizona Business Magazine.  AutoXray EZ-Link Scanners are currently
available at national retail outlets and online at http://www.autoxray.com.
