I'm not looking for the super-duper tool. I just want to know what to expect when I go to a dealer for service.

Although, I think the ability to reset some "stupid" codes would be handy.

Please Opine..

I use one - I like to do my own maintenance and simple repairs. Those you linked are good products, as is the OBDLINK MX+. I prefer one that links up with a phone/tablet/computer by bluetooth and uses an app that can be updated.

If you're looking for a simple read and clear for codes, you can get this done at most auto parts stores for free and they will print out the codes for you. If you don't want to shell out $60+, this one is very favorably reviewed and under $30.
