About Toyota Readout

An independent readout — we don't turn wrenches for hire

Toyota Readout answers one stressful question in plain English: why is my Toyota's check engine light on, and what will it cost to fix? We turn cryptic OBD2 codes into a readout — what it is, whether it's safe to drive, the likely fix, and a realistic price.

Why the readout is different

• Independent. We don't sell repairs, so we have no reason to push unnecessary work.
• Readout-first. The answer is at the top of every page, not buried under ads.
• Honest about cost. We say when it's a few-dollar gas cap and when it's a four-figure converter.
