For most of us, the fun part of owning a car comes from driving it. For some that means the act of driving itself, for others, it's the freedom to go wherever you want. The less fun part comes when it's time to maintain or clean our cars. Luckily, technology has made this easier, whether it's diagnosing a check engine light or pumping up a flat tire, there's an easier solution now than ever before and thanks to some sweet Amazon Prime Day deals, those solutions are cheaper than normal.
Here are our favorite car maintenance and accessory deals from Amazon Prime Day 2021. Keep checking back throughout the next couple of days for other slick deals as they go live.

An impact wrench is must-have tool in a garage that makes zipping off rusted suspension fasteners and lug nuts off a cinch.

This 1/2-inch drive example packs a stout 450 pound-feet of torque that should be more than enough grunt to take care of every car maintenance obstacle you encounter.
OBD2 scanners are amazingly powerful tools that used to be the province of mechanics and people with extremely deep pockets. That's no longer the case and this scanner from Autophix is proof of that.

Extension cord reels are great, so you don't have to work 3 feet away from a wall outlet, and this Goodyear unit is a really nice one.

The ability to charge at Level 1 with a normal 110-volt household plug is basically useless in most electric vehicles these days. Their battery packs are so big that it can take days of being plugged in to get even most of a charge. Level 2 chargers are better, but most require an electrician to install them in your home. The Splitvolt charger is different, because it plugs into an existing 220-volt plug (like you'd use for a washer or dryer) and then into your car. It's also more affordable than most wall-mounted chargers.
