The best OBD-II scanners were once expensive luxuries that were exclusive to mechanics and other professionals. Those days are long gone, and we recommend that every driver has one to help diagnose their car problems before hiring a professional. That way you know which issues actually need fixing, and what you can do at home.

There are a seemingly-infinite number of OBD-II scanners on sale right now, but they’re not all made equally. Fortunately we’ve spent a great deal of time testing OBD-II scanners over the years, many of which cost less than $200. Long gone are the days when these devices were luxuries only professional mechanics could afford, and they’re a must-have for every driver’s toolbox.

Our current favorite OBD-II scanner is the Innova 6100P. Not only does this have the option to diagnosis problems with the handheld scanner or through the Innova app, it can actually predict potential problems ahead of time. There’s even information on the kind of repairs and parts you might need, which made us feel more professional than any other scanner we’ve tested.

If you’re looking for something as little more discreet there’s the Bluetooth Topdon TopScan, which is completely wireless and is deceptively useful for viewing live data and diagnosing problems inside your car. But if you’re on a budget there’s the Launch CR529. It costs less than $40, but it’s so feature-rich that it can outpace scanners two or three times its price tag.

Here are our top picks for the best OBD-II scanners you can buy right now.
