That sucks a big time[:@]!!

If it is for all locations, the company probably has determined that it was not profitable. I used to buy some consumables after a free OBD-II service bit I assume some people did not.

Oh well, you can still but an OBD-II scanner for yourself, though they are not cheap. I would go with Actron scanner.

I wonder if other parts shops are continuing the diagnostic service.

My local autozone in New London Connecticut just read my "engine light" code on Jan, 9, 2009 so I guess it's just your local. Sounds like you might want to call the main office and find out if maybe someone is running a scam for some extra cash.
