Do we need to take it to a shop to have those checked? O'Reilly's has a code tester but it's checked out and they said we'd have to run it ourselves which we don't know how to do. Advance auto parts said they only have a small tester and we'd need to take it to the shop. We have a Chilton manual. What would be the best to do?
