Amazon Big Deal Days is back and Innova has some awesome deals

As an Amazon associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Amazon’s Prime events need no introduction, no matter what they’re called. It really is one of the best times to get your hands on all kinds of tech, lifestyle gear, and various knicknacks for less. Of course, Amazon isn’t the only retailer to offer deals at this time, you can expect all the big names out there to take part. That doesn’t take away from the fact that the big yellow retailer with a smile has some of the lowest prices.

Speaking of low prices, Innova is participating in this year’s Prime Day event with deals on a handful of OBD2 scanners. Why does this matter? Well, you can save up to 36% on select models, including scanners that provide live data, OEM diagnostics information, and help you dig into standard maintenance and repairs in more detail than ever.

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a mechanic to take advantage of these devices. Quite the opposite is true, actually. They’re so easy to use and provide incredibly detailed information that allows you to get to the bottom of virtually any vehicle problem. You may not be able to fix the critical stuff yourself but you’ll know enough to communicate better with mechanics or dealerships. More importantly, you’ll know what’s actually wrong so you won’t get swindled by anyone — they’re less likely to pull the wool over your eyes when you know what’s going on under the hood. We wholeheartedly recommend that everyone own an OBD2 scanner, even if the one you grab is not from Innova. They are invaluable tools for all vehicle owners, unless you have an all-electric vehicle.

Without further ado, here are the best deals you can expect running from October 7 to 8 this year.

Get the Innova 5210 for $80 — 20% off

Excellent for every skill level, the 5210 CarScan Advisor works as a standalone device and pairs via Bluetooth with the RepairSolutions2 app. You don’t need specialized skills or knowledge to use the tool. Just plug it in, wait for it to collect reports and readings and work from what it tells you. The first thing it will provide is all the flagged diagnostics codes, if there are any, with detailed information about each one. That gives you the option to address or fix the problem and then reset the codes as needed. The 5210 is best for entry-level users and all around troubleshooting.

Get the Innova 5610 for $280 — 20% off

A step-up from the Innova 5210, the 5610 is a tool that can help you really dig into the statistics and performance data you need to know about your vehicle. It’s not just for troubleshooting and maintenance diagnostics, but every fine-tuned data point related to your car, including emissions, transmission, battery health and beyond. The 5610 comes with a shell pre-installed, includes a carrying case, and all the necessary cables. It also pairs with the RepairSolutions2 app so you get the best of both worlds. The 5610 is best for intermediate to experienced users and works for all system-wide checks and beyond.

Get the Innova SD35 for $128 — 36% off

While not quite as advanced as the 5610, the Innova SD35 tablet scanner is an all-systems device with basic oil, battery, and TPMS maintenance tools, alongside all of the standard OBD2 diagnostics options. It rests firmly between the 5210 and 5610 in terms of capabilities. It is compatible with the RepairSolutions2 app on mobile, but like Innova’s other devices, that’s completely optional here. The device offers enough information to get by without it and the built-in display means you don’t have to worry about missing info or not being able to read specific warnings. The SD35 is a solid middle-ground device for novice to intermediate users who don’t need the bells and whistles a more experienced system provides.

Which tool is right for you?

Ultimately, if you’re not a mechanic and you don’t need access to pro-level or dealership-grade information, you can go with either the 5210 or the SD35. They’re both excellent devices for reading basic OBD2 data and engaging with diagnostic error codes that your vehicle’s computer might flag. Best of all, these discounts offered as part of Amazon’s October Prime Day event are some of the best all year.

If you want access to more advanced information and tools like OEM live data, special functions, routine calibrations, that sort of thing, then go with the Innova 5610. And if you’re talking about the most bang for your buck deal, it’s definitely the $280 Innova 5610 with its myriad of tools and features, the included carrying case, and extra cables.

In the end, whether you’re looking to grab a budget-friendly and basic scanner like the 5210 or something more substantial like the 5610, October Prime Day is the time to do it. There’s no telling when we can get our bosses to drop the prices this low again.
