  • Most of us ignore our car’s check engine light for days, if not weeks, before we deal with whatever problem is causing it to come on.
  • With a FIXD app and sensor, those of us who are essentially car clueless finally have a chance to know what’s going on under the hood (and in the dashboard) without having to haul our clunker to a mechanic, credit card at the ready. 
  • At $ 59, if FIXD helps you diagnose car issues even a couple of times, it will have essentially paid for itself.

I’m not a car guy, let’s be clear on that from the outset. Oh, I can change a tire, I’ve replaced brake lights, wiper fluid, and once rebuilt the engine of a 1969 Chevelle SS-454… except that not only did I not actually rebuild said engine, but in fact I probably couldn’t pick that car out of a picture of two cars.
