Our editor’s take

Anyone with a car who wants to skip going to a mechanic for the diagnostic step when its “check engine” light comes on can benefit from FIXD. It offers an affordable way to monitor your vehicle’s health and quickly learn about issues as they arise. While it can’t tell you everything that’s wrong with your vehicle, it still stands as one of the most comprehensive solutions for identifying issues with your vehicle.

How does FIXD work?

FIXD is an automobile diagnostic tool that connects to your vehicle to offer real-time insights into vehicle health. The FIXD sensor monitors your car’s systems and alerts you to any issues through its mobile application. Currently, FIXD is able to read and diagnose only check engine lights. Other lights like air bag, maintenance and stability control are not read.

Once an issue is identified, FIXD offers detailed explanations of the problem and estimated repair costs. A FIXD sensor is connected to your vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic 2 (OBD2) port. OBD2 ports are typically located under the dashboard, beneath the steering wheel column. You can consult your vehicle owner’s manual for your port’s exact location. FIXD sensors are easy to install and work with all gas-powered cars and trucks built after 1996.

FIXD services

FIXD provides a comprehensive solution for car diagnostics and maintenance. The FIXD sensor connects to your car’s OBD2 port, then transmits data to the smartphone app. The app interprets check engine light and diagnostic codes, while providing detailed explanations of issues and solutions. It also offers estimated repair costs and a map of nearby repair shops.

In addition to vehicle health monitoring, FIXD tracks maintenance schedules. It alerts you to upcoming service needs. The FIXD app is free, with subscription based premium options.

Premium benefits include emissions precheck, issue forecast and a mechanic hotline. Emissions precheck looks for potential emissions issues before a smog test (if your state requires one). Additionally, issue forecasting predicts future issues or areas of concern. The goal of forecasting is to fix an issue before it becomes bigger and more costly.

How much does FIXD cost?

A fixed OBD2 sensor costs $59.99. The mobile application is free to download and has an additional cost for a premium subscription. The premium subscription is available for $8.99 per month or $69.99 per year.

    I purchased the sensor a year ago and have no issues with the product. I also purchased the Premium subscription at the same time and and was just charged $110.00 to renew as I had to initially pay with a CC. I accessed the APP on my phone and saw that the email address associated with my subscription was my old employers email address and realized you cannot edit this information easily on the APP so I as there is not Customer service line to call I was forced to send a email to a support queue. It has been 4 days and many emails to the support que and no reply. Even though the sensor is a wonderful tool the FIXD customer service is non existent and SUCKS. I will be cancelling my subscription and for this reason would not recommend this product.

      Installation & Setup

      When you subscribe on phone app you have to add a credit card to activate the software to use the device. I thought it was fishy. They say there is no charge for activation, but what they don't tell you is that the credit card is farmed out to a sports information publication. Several of them. Your credit card will be hit right away with a $34.55 charge. The sports publication is called SPORTSSPLASH. See image below to cancel. On top of this the sports publication implies that your card could also be used to sign you up to other publications if you do not cancel them. Fixd may be and I hope a good product, buy their tactics are shady and underhanded.

      Reviewed Nov. 18, 2024

      I am simply considering purchasing the FIXD DEVICE, and was about to purchase for their current Black Friday sale price, and then I read a review that stated after a couple of uses, it’s worth it to go ahead and purchase the Premium Service. After looking into it and going to their site, I saw that it costs between $50 and $99 per year, or $12.95 per month depending on which source you trust in.

      I emailed FIXD support directly to find out the correct price and get a better idea of how worthwhile the Premium subscription is and how limited the device is if you elect not to buy the annual subscription or simply can’t afford it like me. Hope that helps! I gave it 5 stars and indicated that I would recommend to my friends because I had to fill in both fields to submit my review. I do feel that FIXD should be more transparent about the probable need to purchase the premium service for anyone that wants to use the device in the way it’s advertised. There’s only one small line in italics that is easy to miss, stating that the device comes with two free weeks of Premium service. But, there is no mention anywhere about the device’s functionality with or without Premium subscription, nor any listing of how much the service will cost you. If not for this, I would have bought the device for sure.
