Hello and welcome to iamcarhacker.com!
I want to be as transparent as possible.
I earn small commissions from products purchased by links on this website (affiliate links)
How this partnership works
Affiliate marketing is a partnership between a product manufacturer (example: xTool) and a content creator (example: @iamcarhacker). When you click on the link on this website (affiliate link) and buy a product I will receive a small commission (usually 5-10%) from the price you paid.
You will not pay more
If you use my link to purchase the product you will still pay the same price. If the product costs $100, you will pay $100 whether it is through my link or you go straight to the seller’s website.
Some partnerships even allow me to give you discount codes so for example if a product costs $100, with my discount code you can even save money by using my link, for example, 10% OFF.
My commitment is to be helpful
I am doing product reviews & comparisons based on real research, unlike a lot of my competitors. I am renting a garage, buying some of the tools (some I get for free from companies), and buying older experimental cars in order to make product reviews as helpful as possible to help you choose your next tool.
Read the full testing & review policy to see how I do reviews and comparisons.
I don’t recommend products I do not like
If I see the product is bad I will tell you not to buy it even though they have an attractive affiliate program. For example Carly OBD scanner.
Even though I could make good money recommending it, I choose not to because I can see that the scanner is not worth the money.
My goal is to build a trusted brand in car diagnostics, not to make quick money and disappear.
Sponsored products
Some of the products I am reviewing on this website (https://iamcarhacker.com) are provided to me for free in exchange for making a blog or video including this product.
For some products, I receive financial compensation as well to place these products in videos and blog posts.
IMPORTANT: Even if I get benefits like financial compensation or a free product in exchange for making a video or blog post, I never get compensation for my opinion. If I recommend a product it is only because I think it is worth buying after my own testing & comparing it to others. Read the full sponsor policy.
