The state of california no longer allows the scanner as a loan a tool item.

First, they couldnt do the scan because they are not mechanics and would often times clear the codes and people would do their smog checks like that.

Then they would only rent them out, now cali says no more.

You have to buy it

really? since when did they implement that rule? I just borrowed one like a month ago. They charged my credit card the full amount of it but refunded me right after I brought it back in.

Such a BS excuse. People who borrow the scanners, chances are, they wont be taking it to a mechanic anyways.
