See what drivers & experts say in their real FIXD reviews
FIXD turns the mystery of your check engine light into clear, easy-to-understand guidance — helping drivers avoid surprise repair bills and keep their vehicles running longer.
Founded to demystify car repairs
Founded in 2014, FIXD helps drivers understand their vehicle’s health and repair needs, demystifying car problems and making the repair process simple, straightforward, and affordable.
The system was invented by three engineering students from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta who were tired of seeing friends and family stressed over breakdowns and repair bills. With FIXD, drivers can translate confusing check-engine codes into plain language, see how serious an issue is, and get a fair idea of repair costs before visiting a shop.
FIXD pairs a Bluetooth OBD-II sensor with a smartphone app that:
- Decodes check engine lights and clarifies whether it’s safe to keep driving.
- Provides ballpark repair cost estimates so drivers don’t overpay at the shop.
- Tracks routine maintenance like oil changes and tire rotations based on make, model, and mileage.
- Works with most gas vehicles built in 1996 or later, and diesels built after 2008.
From “check engine” to clear answers in seconds
Once the FIXD sensor is plugged into the OBD-II port and the app is installed, drivers simply tap Scan to get:
- A plain-English explanation of what triggered the check engine light.
- An at-a-glance severity indicator showing whether the issue is minor or serious.
- Estimated repair costs to help avoid surprise bills and upsells at the shop.
- A list of nearby repair shops that agree to honor FIXD’s fair pricing.
The app also sends automatic maintenance reminders based on your car’s make, model, and mileage — helping prevent small issues from turning into costly repairs.
