They probably think you are asking to borrow a code reader. If you go there, they will do it for free.

they said "we wont do it for you... we'll have to take a deposit and you do it yourself, and then return it"
have auto zones near anyone else started taking deposits and not doing the scans for free?

I borrowed one from them before. I paid $299 or something for deposit. It reads and tell you what the problem is and allow you to erase it.

does this guy not understand that a "deposit" means that he will get it back when he brings the reader back....
