Default Obd Port relocated by mechanic!

Hey guys I took my car in for coolant leaks,and some stuff, guy fixed everything, all is well with the car, however for some strange reason he decided to relocate the obd port, has anyone experienced this? Anywhere i could look for it, I can't seem to get a hold of him will try again tomorrow.... Why the hell he did that is beyond me 🙄

Not sure what you drive but my OBD port is near the driver footwell.

What do you see when you open the covering flap (if there is one)?

Maybe he pushed a little too hard on it - then snap, hopes you don't know what or where it is (was).

Agreed. You should take it back and get him to show you where it is and then fix the broken part.

Good luck,

Eric
