The one accessory that pays for itself
A dual-channel dash cam is the closest thing to insurance against 'he said, she said.' Front and rear 4K recording with night vision now costs under $80.
Phone mounting done right

A $30 OBD2 scanner tells you exactly why the check-engine light is on before a shop does. Sometimes it's a loose gas cap; sometimes it saves you a $200 'diagnostic fee.'
