Tom,

I received the scangauge today. Took a good five minutes out of my day to install it. 

I haven't played with all the features yet, but it seems to perform as advertised -- at least with respect to reading/clearing codes and basic readings. 

Thanks for the prompt shipping. 

Your product was highly recommended by several people on online Subaru forums and I can see why. 

I bought it for the code capabilities but am happy that it won't just sit on a shelf the rest of the time and can provide me with mpg readings etc.

Cheers,

Dave,

Hey Tom,

Up and working, you can see Trans Fluid Temperature  (TFT) in upper right corner.  I have it mounted on dash just above the OBD11 point, excess cable coiled up in fuse panel just beside the OBD11 and cable can be pushed into the rubber molding.  Nice and neat and easy to remove.

Other picture is why I wanted to monitor TFT. 

Gas mileage sucks when towing, 11-13 mpg, so I really do not want to see it :))

Hello Tom. 

I have been looking at this [Scangauge] for a while now and decided since it my wife's birthday at the end of the month I better hurry up and order it. 

Well it already arrived, you must have pull with Canada Post.

Haven't tried it out yet, but if it is anything like the prompt delivery i'm sure she'll love it.

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi Tom,

Just as a followup, I wanted to send a quick message and let you know that I'm impressed with the Scanguage. 

I was able to program in several different x guage functions and I'm still experimenting to see which ones are actually most useful to me. 

So far I've settled on air/fuel ratio, instant and avg fuel mileage and trans temp.  I tried to do oil pressure but my truck doesn't seem to support that. 

One of my co-workers was impressed with it as well and will be ordering one this weekend.  

Thanks again,

Greetings Tom,

As promised, I received the Scangauge on Monday. Thank you for your excellent service and speedy delivery. I was somewhat hesitant to order online but it is dealers such as yourself that help to put my mind at ease! Thanks again and I look forward to installing the Scangauge soon.

Cheers,

Hi Tom!

Well this item is for a Christmas gift to someone who's researched into the product. Basically he gave me the specs, I put it into Google, and you happen to be at the top of the list! I didn't have to actually call to order, and the shopping cart area appeared to be an easy route, so I jumped on it. :) I would definitely recommend your site to anyone interested in the product!

Thanks for the speedy service!! =D

Hi Tom! 

     Thanks for your super quick service.  I had been researching the Scangauge II for a little while, and like most people i'm sure, was planning to order from the states. But through a couple discussions in separate forums, your site came up.  Your customer service was a huge selling point, as was your timely shipping, and honestly, the cost was hard to beat.  If the Scangauge works out as well as i think it will, I'll be letting all the gearheads around me know about my experience.  I know my brother is already next in line.  Thanks for your speedy service, the personal touch is very much appreciated!

Very Best Regards,

Mr. Gifford:  

Thank you for your very prompt response to my order.  I received my Scangauge in less than a week from my order date  I am impressed with the speed of your response and the quality of the Scangauge and its packaging.  I had earlier reviewed your website and downloaded the Operations Manual.  I found the equipment easy to setup and operate.  

I don't usually provide a comment to suppliers of items I have purchased but in this case I feel one is warranted to confirm a very positive experience.

My particular application is for a 2006 Ford Ranger and everything worked very well.  I became aware of the Scangauge product from an article in Car and Driver and I located your firm from the links on the Scangauge website.

Hi Tom,

Thank you very much; I received the tracking # from Canada Post as mentioned in your email.

I must say that I am very impressed and pleased with the quick turn around on my order (only 2 hours wow). The reasons I chose to buy from Scangauge Canada/Gifford Automotive are

1. Your online store was very easy to find using a simple Google search for Scangauge
2. Being from Canada I feel it’s always good to support Canadian businesses
3. Buying from within Canada is always hassle free... no excessive shipping rates and other fees associated with buying from the USA

Once again, thank you so much for operating a company that is so prompt and easy to deal with!!

Hi Tom,

I just took delivery of a 2009 Hyundai Accent and lo and behold they have deleted the water temperature gauge from the standard instrumentation that was previously on the 2008 model. It has been replaced by an high temp warning light otherwise known as an “idiot light” that really won’t give you any warning of a potential problem until it’s already too late ! I guess this was prompted as a silly cost cutting measure by the powers that be at Hyundai. I read about this issue on the Hyundai forums and several of the members highly recommended getting a Scangauge that would not only replace the missing water temp gauge but also give me the ability to display many other engine functions as well.

I went to the Scangauge site and found your company as being the closest Canadian distributor to the Montreal area and from there to your site, where I read nothing but glowing praise for your pricing and customer service. I should mention that I have been in the automotive business for about 35 years, and to me, customer satisfaction ranks very high as a deciding factor when choosing a vendor of a product.

Obviously you have worked very hard to earn the praise of your clients, and your prompt and courteous handling of my order only reinforces this. In addition, I believe in supporting Canadian businesses as I know only too well the frustration we all feel about the current trend of cross-border shopping which does nothing but damage our local economies.

I look forward to using the Scangauge and I am sure that I will find it to my satisfaction.

Best Regards,

Jim

Thank You Tom.

Wow what great customer service!

I am impressed as I am very used to not getting the greatest service these days

I have read about this product on forums online and thought what a good idea it looked like.

I have a MIL light on my VW and have been looking for a OBD2 reader to read my codes so I don't have to pay an arm and a leg to diagnose the issue.

I love the idea of the other usages (economy savings would be great!) for this product and it not only being for scanning codes. I look forward to seeing how this works.

I purchased through you as your testimonials are amazing, you are a Canadian company, and free shipping is a big plus (yet another thing you do not see often).

I received the unit on Thursday (a day ahead of schedule...go figure...chalk one up for Canada Post).  

The unit is simple enough to operate and is just what I expected.

I most definitely can't complain about our transaction, swift and without a problem (which is refreshing in today's retail market).

Thanks.

Thanks for the fast service and the fuel I'll save.

Totally impressed with the service, and the device itself.

Installed and mounted in less than 15 minutes over my lunch hour.

I'll try and take some pictures once I make sure it's where I want to keep it.

Thanks again;

Hi Tom, thanks very much for your fast overnight service, the Scan Gauge is as you described, easy to install and is a brilliant little unit for those who don't have an on board cpu for various functions and in my case the temperature gauge and fuel consumption.

Thanks again and look forward to dealing with you in the future.

Hi Tom!

As of now all I can say is WOW! Very Fast Service and Response! Already been shipped! :) Never seen that before!

I heard about ScanGauge through various Hyundai Elantra Forums on the web and I have been suggested to look into scangauge. I found on their site your website for canada redistribution and was really happy about the price. Could not resist! :)

Also, thanks for your effort in speaking french, it's nice to see people trying. Also offering manual in french is a big plus even if I might not use it cause I have no problem with english...

Thanks

Hi Tom, 

Just thought I’d drop you a line and let you know how happy I am with my ScanGaugeII. It arrived the day after I ordered it, much to my delight, and was installed in my Lumina sedan 10 minutes later.

It just flat WORKS!

I understand why it takes some calibration for different vehicles, but that was relatively painless. When the Lumina died (big time, unrelated to any predictable items) I bought an Aveo and moved the ScanGaugeII to that. Recalibrated it in a few days and it’s still going strong. I’ve recommended it to anyone who would listen and would certainly purchase another if this one ever dies or gets stolen.

 Thanks for the great service and the great product,

 Bob Pearson

Dear Tom,

I've been impressed by the speed of your service: my Scangauge arrived in Langley BC in less than 48 hours [ordered 9 pm Monday and delivered Wed morning].

I installed the device on my Grand Vitara without any problems and used [it] for my daily commute for the first time -- I already see the savings: from ~11L/100 km to about ~8.5L/100 km (I still have to wait for the next tank to calibrate and improve the accuracy)

Being a member of CleanMPG.com group I knew about the Scangauge; I also drive a Honda Civic Hybrid and I know the advantages of being able to follow the fuel consumption in real time; when I bought that car, initially, I wasn’t able to get less than 5.5L/100km but after a bit of training and getting used to keeping an eye on the gas I was able to see 3.5L/100 km last summer (my personal “best commute”).

After my first day with the Scangauge I must admit that this instrument is fantastic -- it provides a lot more than the fuel economy -- it is a “window” into the guts of the vehicle. 

I wish you good luck with your business and, please, keep promoting products that will help us to become more aware of the way we drive and, why not, maybe electrical cars one day!!!

 Thank you,

Stefan

Hi Tom

Read all testimonials and was a little sceptical in the shipping---well I'm a believer.

Ordered -delivered and installed and working in under 24 hours. Wow

Thanks great service great product.

P.S.   Takes way longer to send a letter across town.

Dear Tom:

Your package arrived the NEXT day (i.e in less than 24 hours after ordering), and was left in the mail box as requested.

I think you run the absolute best mail order business in the country, and I hope other customers tell you this as well.

I wish you continued good fortune in 2009.

Hi Tom,

I received my Scangauge yesterday.

What a fast service!!Ordered Monday, received Tuesday. I'm a http://www.montreal-subaru-club.com member and I will refer your website if someone is interested in buying a Scangauge.

It really is a great deal since the price is the same than directly from Linear Logic but the shipping is a lot easier because you are located in Canada. Thank you very much!

Wow!

I received it today.  What great service.

It was really easy to install (once I found the socket).

It seems to be talking to my bug OK.

I’ve done my first fill-up so I guess I just have to wait to do the calibration at next fill and I’ll be off and running.

 Thanks again

When it gets cooler tonight I'll try setting it up for the fuel economy gauges. Thanks again!

Hi Tom,

I've had my ScanGauge for about a month and a half now......

While I'm not really a gadget guy, I have to admit that this is one very cool and useful device.

The instantaneous fuel consumption gauge is the best feature in my opinion, as it provides "real time" data.

Without changing anything else, I should be able to recover the ScanGauge price paid in just a few months because of the fuel I'm saving.

Can't wait to see what happens if I rig up a hydrogen booster.........

Hi Tom,

The accuracy of the Scangauge is quite amazing.  At fill ups, the amount on the pump is awfully close to what the gauge shows.  And that's with different pumps, etc..

I'd have to say the LHK [Litres/100km] is pretty close to what is actually going on.  It takes a real light foot to keep those numbers low.

Hi Tom,
     Man, you're not kidding are you?! I got the tracking number from Canada Post right after you sent me this notification [that you received my order]!

That's taking care of business - as opposed to these other outfits that tell you they've got to get a shipment in and then they'll get around to mailing mine out to me - in oh, say, a couple of weeks time.

That's the kind of garbage you've gotta put up with in buying a gun, not a ScanGauge 2.

Your timing's even better considering that I just got my HHO generating 6 pack tonight, so I'm all gung ho to go here.
   

Thanks again Tom.

You give excellent services and fast shipping,

I received the package yesterday. 

I have ordered a lot of stuff on the internet and I have NEVER gotten anything that quickly.

And I approve 100% this testimonial by the previous user!

I will recommend you to all my friends.

 Thank you very much.

WOW ! ...

I received my Scangauge and my jaw almost dropped from the extremely quick service i got from you. excellent communication by email, excellent follow up of my order (tracking # and estimated arrival without having to ask for them...).

i love the product and will tell you a little story as i feel the need to let everyone know how great your service is. I also own an 1963 Acadian Beaumont sport deluxe that I've restored from top to bottom (complete nut and bolt restoration ), I've ordered restoration parts from almost everywhere in the united states over the course of the last ten years and spent many pay checks on car parts thru mail order.

Nobody and i mean NOBODY came close to your excellent, ultra quick and efficient way to deal with mail order thru the internet. You definitely are a reference in the industry to help others improve their service.

Thanks Tom,

As far as I know, you are the only retailer that sends this gauge internationally.

Amazon says they do, but if one goes through the order process, it says NO..

Maybe you should make it more known on your site that you do this,
now everyone is on the lookout for energy saving gadgets...

.....Seven days later.....

The gauge arrived today.  Just plugged it in.

"I have received the ScanGauge on the 14th. It works really well. I live just north of Toronto, but I work in London Ontario. I travel back and forth every day. I have a 2004 Accord 4cyl and I had it to 6.1 liters per 100km prior to getting the ScanGauge. Now, I have adjusted my driving further and I get consistently an average consumption of 5.7 liters per 100km (highway driving). Also of interest to me was the fact that the hills demand more much more fuel consumption due to having to lift the weight of the vehicle up the slope, than the vehicle drag."

"I received the gauge this morning (to my surprise - in a good way, I never expected such fast delivery!

Thank you very much for everything. I really appreciate your promptness and support.

The main reason I even came across the Scan Gauge was a site where enthusiasts are trying to achieve outstanding mileage with their Suzuki Swift clones, http://www.metrompg.com/ or even http://www.gassavers.org/. I'm hoping it will pay for itself once I'm done reducing fuel consumption on my Saturn.

I am also 100% sure Canadian customers will want to know about you and your ability to ship overnight at almost dollar for dollar US price.

It's a great tool and probably unknown, so since it's better and cheaper than the Canadian Tire scanners, I think it's got merit."

I ordered the ScanGaugeII by email and within two hours, it was already shipped. I was impressed by the quick delivery when I received the package 24 hours later.

The ScanGaugeII worked perfectly as soon as I connected it. I am really happy with it.
The MPG gauge reported true values, which was the main feature I was looking for.

The design of the device is user friendly.

So I can highly recommend Gifford Automotive Inc, thanks for the very good service and good product!"
