Just a thought anyways, I know most people are way too lazy to bother.
Again YOU know what you are doing. Most will not know that “leak in evap system” means tighten cap. He’ll most would struggle to understand where to plug the damn thing in much less understand what anything means. They just don’t care.

There's also the opposite.


People will get the codes read and then come in and ask to buy the part directly associated with it and think that will fix it. A lot of times its not that particular part, because the light will come on. Something else is wrong with the car.
