But don't worry, you will be at moderate risk of the car breaking down before 10,000 miles and you can't fix the part because it has been deliberately engineered so that mechanics can't fix it and it has to be replaced.

At the very least, it will prevent you from needing to pay the $35 OBDII fee that most mechanics have. They'll still use it because they never believe you when you say what codes yours spit out, but they won't be able to charge you for something you specifically mentioned when you bring your car in.

I have one and I make sure they can see it when I drop my car off.
