Best Answer

Many auto parts retailers have loaner hardware that you can use to scan the diagnostics yourself, and it doesn't cost anything. They might charge a deposit fee to make sure you return it, but any auto parts retailer that has a tool loan program usually has a diagnostic scanner. Often, if you go when they're not busy, you can get one of them to help you.
