How does FIXD work?
FIXD translates your car’s OBD2 codes into plain English using our user-friendly smartphone app & OBD2 sensor. Developed by Georgia Tech educated engineers and ASE certified mechanics, the FIXD scanner plugs into your car’s OBD2 port and takes the guesswork out of diagnosing your car’s problem by using our app’s extensive library of car knowledge & data.
Using millions of data points from millions of car scans & confirmed repairs, FIXD takes into account the car’s diagnostic code as well as your car’s make, model, and year for diagnosis purposes. With the FIXD Premium subscription you’ll know what the most likely repair for your car is and how much it should cost, before you even get to the mechanic.
FIXD isn’t just for diagnosing problems and estimating repairs either, it can prevent repairs too. With our automated reminders and customized maintenance schedule you can avoid headaches and keep your car running in tip-top shape.
While we believe data is the future of car diagnosis, we also think you deserve a human touch. FIXD Premium’s Mechanic Hotline connects you to a live human mechanic when you need a second opinion on anything car related.
