⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Automotive Hobbyist
"I bought the XTOOL Advancer AD20 in February 2025 to help with my weekend car projects. After six months of use across three different vehicles—my 2018 Honda Civic, a friend’s diesel Jeep, and a hybrid Prius—it’s been flawless. The Bluetooth 5.0 connection is rock solid, and the app interface is intuitive. I cleared a P0420 code myself and monitored live O2 sensor data to confirm the fix. No more $100 shop visits for basic diagnostics!"Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Luis Mendez - Auto Repair Shop Owner
"We’ve been using the Advanced Model since November 2024, and it's become a staple in our shop. It connects instantly to nearly every vehicle that rolls in—gas, diesel, you name it. The full system diagnostic capability saves us time on initial assessments, and the live data monitoring helps us catch intermittent issues that basic scanners miss. The rugged build has survived drops, grease, and daily use with zero problems. Worth every penny."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Diane Park - Logistics Fleet Supervisor
"Purchased five units in January 2025 for our maintenance team. They’ve been great for quick pre-trip checks and troubleshooting check-engine lights across our mixed fleet. The universal OBD2 compatibility means we don’t need multiple tools. Firmware updates have kept them current with newer models. Only reason I didn’t give five stars: the app occasionally lags on older tablets. But overall, a huge upgrade from our old code readers."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - First-Time Car Owner
"As someone who knows nothing about cars, I was nervous when my 2020 Hyundai triggered a check engine light. I bought the AD20 in April 2025 based on reviews. Setup was easy—plugged it in, paired via Bluetooth, and the app walked me through everything. It diagnosed a loose gas cap (P0457), and I cleared the code myself. The green LED indicator gave me confidence it was working. This tool made me feel empowered, not intimidated."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
