Autel MaxiCheck Pro Reviews:

Autel Maxicheck pro is a very useful tool. Updating was kind of fiddly. Works to do a ABS system bleed on a 2004 Ford Thunderbird, which means it will probably also work on Lincoln LS and Jaguar S type of the same vintage.

I bought Maxicheck Pro mainly for the automakers function as I have a Hyundai Elantra that had soft brakes and multiple master cylinders replaced. I felt it always had air trapped and this tool helped fix my issue. This tool is very easy to use and I do recommend it. I have not connected to some of my other vehicles and I have not had to use the tech support either. If tech support is as good as the tool, then I wouldn’t be able to ask for much more. Great tool for garage mechanic.

I purchased this scan tool because I needed a way to bleed the ABS system on my 2000 GMC Truck. Older GM trucks have a nasty habit of having their brake lines rust away. At any rate I had great hope that this scan tool would allow me to bleed the ABS system myself. After I ordered and received the unit I tried it right out of the box. I could not get it to recognize my vehicle or communicate in any way with the trucks computer. I emailed Autel and received a prompt reply. I was instructed to update the software and try again. After updating the software (from 2017) I was able to successfully use the scan tool. It was actually much easier than the manual would lead you to believe and was almost entirely automatic, taking maybe two minutes. I am impressed. For the life of me though I don’t know why the software on the SD card that comes in the scan tool wasn’t updated to begin with. You’d think it would be updated until at least the date of manufacture (in this case Sep 2019). The updating process takes about an hour. The brake pedal is no longer spongy.

Needed to bleed the ABS module on my 2011 Chevy Suburban 2500 3/4 ton. This Autel MaxiCheck Pro does have that ability. Big screen, easy to read. Works great. I’m looking for to using it more for other vehicles I own.

MaxiCheck Pro is a very inexpensive item that saved me hundreds in unnecessary so-called mechanical repairs from an auto shop. It helped me pass emissions testing where my car was only scanned for possible problems even though my vehicle is fine. I cleared the codes and I passed emissions in a snap. It’s very easy to use and only takes two to three minutes to use. I’m also helping my friends clear flag codes as well so the Code Reader has already paid for itself many times over! It’s a great bargain for the small price.

Based on the reviews of  MaxiCheck Pro User Above, Autel Maxicheck pro service is a good ABS Bleed servcie tool.
