Autel Scanner MaxiCheck MX808S-TS: 2026 Same as MaxiCOM MK900TS MX900-TS TS900, US Ver. of MK808S-TS Up of MK808S, Top TPMS Programming Tool, 3000+ Bidirecitonal Active Test, 28+ Service, 11 OS, FCA

Apologies for the long entry, but this is a pricey item that I debated over before ordering. My first OBD scanner was purchased after I was hit with an $80 bill to address a check engine light on my wife’s Suburban. At the time, I bought a cable-tethered OBD-II reader mostly out of principle because charging $80 to clear a light caused by a loose gas cap seemed absurd. Since then, I have upgraded every 2 to 3 years. Smartphone-based readers have dropped in price, but the software quality and small screen size can be limiting. While more expensive than my smartphone OBD-II scanners, the features of the MaxiCheck MX808S-TS are really great. The yearly subscription is something to be aware of. You will still have most day-to-day and legacy diagnostic functionality, but you may miss new updates, new vehicle coverage, and possibly some advanced features introduced after your subscription expires. The OBD interface is truly a mechanic’s best friend because it lets the car tell you how it feels. Error codes help identify or confirm items that need attention. I drive a diesel, so I particularly value the ability to trigger a regeneration process and monitor temperatures during the process. The MaxiCheck library of vehicles is extensive, reports are thorough, and there are some module programming options. Updates are easy to perform, and the wireless connectivity is great. It also comes with a high-quality case that keeps everything safe. Personal Experiences and Examples Used Car Purchase: I have used it to check error codes before buying vehicles. This revealed issues that did not trigger a check engine light, which helped negotiate a lower price. Chevy Equinox VVT Issue: When the variable timing valves needed replacement, I was able to identify the issue myself. Parts were $30 each, and the fix took 30 minutes, saving a lot compared to dealership labor. Typical service costs: Check Engine Light Diagnostic: $88 to $111 (Larry H. Miller Chevrolet ) VVT/Timing Solenoid Replacement: $140 to $200 (RepairPal.com ) Battery and Alternator Testing: The scanner helps determine whether issues come from the battery or alternator. Smog-Check Preparation: I have used it to check if smog systems are ready, especially when the battery dies on older vehicles. MAF Sensor Replacement on 20-Year-Old Truck: I identified a failing MAF sensor. DIY repair took under 30 minutes, with parts costing $90 to $230. Professional replacement would typically cost $200 to $400. Body Module Testing: Recently, I experimented with body modules to activate individual servos. This helped identify a faulty servo on my son’s Equinox. The part was $25, and replacement took about 2 hours. The equivalent dealership estimate would have been over $450. Overall Assessment This is an excellent tool for anyone who works on cars with some regularity. It helps diagnose problems before they escalate, saves money on labor and parts, and provides peace of mind when buying used vehicles. Whether checking engine codes, testing battery or alternator health, or exploring body modules, the Autel MaxiCheck MX808S-TS is a reliable and versatile scanner that keeps cars running efficiently.

Great product!! Easy to use,does lots of stuff!! Great value for the money. Have only had to charge it once in a week.

This is my second Autel Scanner, the first was a basic model and didn't have many features. Both units work excellent. I have never been in a situation where they didn't scan my system and tell me what my failure was. The new tuner has the ability to relearn TPMS systems and was also able to reset my BCM. These are great tools for the professional or do it yourself mechanic.

I discovered the Autel brand when my friend and regular mechanic recommended me to buy a scanner. He told me: I know you like and prefer to repair your car, you are good and smart, the best tool you can invest in to fix most mechanical problems by yourself is an Autel scanner, it covers 100% of codes and specialized analysis by brand, so a little over 6 years ago I bought my first Autel scanner, the AP200 model using my own SmartPhone (very economical and efficient by the way, around 40 dollars, very efficient and still current today). I have 2 friends who bought scanners from other brands also operated by apps on their smartphones and in the end they each ended up buying the same scanner that I recommended to them (Autel)... Because of my good experience with the AP200 model I decided to buy my new Autel MX808S-TS last week and it is absolutely Beastly! This Scanner can perform configurations, programming and diagnostics that only the official dealer can handle, it provides specific and complete diagnostics, if a screw has a sensor this demolition machine detects it and scans it... easy! I do not intend to be very technical in this review (I am not a mechanic nor do I make my living fixing cars) this Autel scanner is so easy to use that anyone with basic mechanical knowledge can take advantage of it, and the best thing that I almost forgot to mention is that it has the complete TPMS tire sensor programming and diagnostic tool, I have a MINI Cooper R60 and it requires a TPMS sensor change at least on the front tire on the left side, but I intend to change all 4 sensors taking advantage of the advantage of having this Autel scanner (by the way, the sensors I bought to replace the old ones are also Autel brand and were 100% compatible) the TPMS Tool the high cost of repair at the tire store or the dealer was equal to or greater than what this Autel scanner cost, I decided to do it myself and the gain is that with what I was going to pay for the repair I now have this equipment that in the future will save me hundreds or thousands of dollars, apart from the peace of mind of not being scammed by the crafty mechanic who takes advantage of your ignorance and your need to make your money in an unfair way, this is the main reason why I bought this Autel equipment, in my search for a good scanner that will solve my mechanical problems I found to date that I am writing this review two brands that included the complete TPMS tool but when comparing functions, system, capacity and build quality the powerful Autel MX808S-TS in my opinion is superior in every way based on comments, descriptions and tutorials (it helps a lot to read the opinions of other buyers to make a wise decision) It is also of the utmost importance to mention that it is the only scanner on the market that has greater processing and power, the only one to include 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, the storage can be expanded with the use of a micro SD card. In conclusion, this Autel scanner is superior, it covers more than your needs, the price is even below its true value considering everything it offers, in my search after reviewing all kinds of models and the experiences of buyers I have seen scanners with less capacity, huge limitations, difficult to use, much more expensive and with bad reviews with many angry customers, I am very satisfied with my purchase and I am sure that this equipment will also give you satisfaction and above all solutions, I hope to be of help with this information, Greetings!

The Autel MX808S-TS scan tool is very user friendly. This is my third Autel product and I’m very impressed with its capabilities and performance. Reasonably priced for such a power scan tool. I especially like all TPMS functions offered in the tool. Very easy to use. I absolutely love this tool. You won’t be disappointed.

This is my first scanner, i like the feel and operation of the tablet, one thing is it has no sound speaker so if you use the web to troubleshoot like youtube your out of luck. Also I had an issues with registration but after 24 hrs it cleared up and the scanner finally was under my account so then I could update. All in all it's a decent scanner so far.

Very impressive unit. It has done everything I need for every vehicle I work on. Very simple to follow. It requires frequent updates but all go smoothly. Great battery life. Cordless operation with Wi-Fi have both been flawless. Superb build and operation quality. I would buy again.

Very intuitive to work with, found codes specific to my cars without having to do searches as the unit will give you data on codes with an automatic search function if so required. Codes are tailored to specific cars, TPMS function is really helpful in diagnosing fails.

Great diagnostic and services tool, it also comes with one year free subscription so you can update app till 2026. Definitely worth the price.

Great price and quality, very functional, easy to use, processes data quickly.

Working with this scan tool for a few months and so far im satisfied. A lot of supported models. A bunch of active tests. Tpms module works great, even 2025 models programming with no problem.
