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.

    DO NOT BUY. I cancelled online, and then I stopped checking email. They sent another email pausing my cancellation and giving another link to cancel when I had already canceled. Then billed again 1 year later because "You didn't cancel".

      Bought Fixd online. Didn’t order subscription, had to cancel 2 cards. So far they continually try to bill me for $107, for annual membership. Went on their website, called their customer service. Easy fixd right? No. Was told it was cancelled, but again an attended charge with new card. This company is bs, and I never signed up for the membership!!! Scammers.

      I would rather rate this with zero than a one. Be careful buying the Fixd device. They trap you into buying the subscription at a cost of $99.99, then refuse to give you a refund if you fail to follow their very specific directions. There are other inexpensive similar devices that don't require a subscription, and provide far better customer service. Buyer beware. They will burn you.

      Reviewed May 11, 2026

      FIXD is a subscription based service. You buy the hardware and then they still charge you yearly, whether you use it regularly or not. I cannot stress. This is enough. It was not worth the money by any stretch of the imagination and I don’t appreciate the $110 annual subscription renewing with minimal communication. You can go to Autozone or almost any auto store and scan codes for free.

      The sensor worked ok, as far as I know. Not a car guru but seemed ok, BUT BEWARE! This company then will hit your credit card with $99.99 charges repeatedly. Legit purchase on 04/09/26, and now two fraudulent charges in the above amount on 04/23/26 and 04/26/26. Thankfully my bank blocked them.

      I ordered the FIXD plug in about a year or so ago (through Amazon) but never even used it. Shortly after it arrived my "problem car" was totaled and my new one has no diagnosis needs. So imagine my surprise when my CC company contacted me (moments ago) saying that fixd was attempting to charge my credit card for $99. For what?!? I guarantee I never signed up for anything and for what has turned out to be a ever increasing waste of time and money, I regret ever getting involved with them.
