FIXD Reviews

Founded in 2014, FIXD was created to make car ownership simple, affordable, and stress-free. The company began when three engineering students in Atlanta saw how confusing and expensive vehicle maintenance could be for most people. They wanted to design a solution that gave drivers the knowledge and confidence to understand their cars. Their invention — a small Bluetooth-enabled sensor that connects to a vehicle and pairs with an easy-to-use mobile app — translates complex automotive data into simple, clear language. This technology helps drivers instantly identify issues, assess their severity, and estimate repair costs, giving them greater control and transparency in maintaining their vehicles. FIXD Reviews connects through a car's OBD-II port, found in gas-powered vehicles built after 1996 and diesel models from 2008 onward. Once plugged in, the sensor pairs with a smartphone and scans the car's system within seconds. The app explains why the check engine light is on, provides cost estimates, and recommends trusted local shops that honor those prices. It also tracks mileage and sends automatic reminders for regular maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and brake checks. These personalized alerts help drivers prevent costly breakdowns and keep their cars running efficiently. The company offers a Premium version of its app for users who want extra features, including access to live mechanics, DIY repair tutorials, emissions pre-checks, and detailed used-car history reports. Built on more than 180 million diagnostic scans from 5 million users and 7 million vehicles, FIXD provides reliable, data-driven insights that continue to improve with every use. Its technology empowers drivers to make smarter maintenance decisions while saving both time and money. Recognized for its innovation, FIXD has partnered with Carvana to help evaluate vehicles before purchase and was honored with the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® Award for the Southeast region.
