Please answer the questions below, to the best of your ability. For context:

Vehicle maintenance is one of the most significant expenses for the average American. Regular upkeep, repairs, and unexpected mechanical issues can quickly add up, placing a financial burden on many households.

One way to help alleviate some of the financial burden of vehicle maintenance is through the use of OBD-2 (On-Board Diagnostics) systems. These diagnostic tools provide drivers with real-time information about their car’s health, enabling them to identify potential issues early on and make informed decisions about necessary repairs. By catching problems before they become more costly, OBD-2 technology can help reduce repair costs and improve overall vehicle maintenance efficiency.
