Unfortunately, mechanics know taking advantage of people is easy, given their lack of knowledge about car maintenance needs.<\/p>\n<p>Two engineers based out of&nbsp;Atlanta, GA <strong>were tired of seeing their friends and family get taken advantage of at auto shops<\/strong>, so they decided to do something about it. They created this new affordable device that plugs into your car\u2019s OBD (on-board diagnostics) port \u2013 the very same port that mechanics use to figure out what\u2019s wrong with your car.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EVERY&nbsp;car built in&nbsp;1996 or later is required to have this port.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This new device will instantly diagnose your car\u2019s problems for you and translate them into simple, easy-to-understand terms \u2013 and much more! Meaning, the next time a mechanic is trying to pull one over on you, you can call them on it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST PART: <\/strong>If and when that \u2018Check Engine Light\u2019 comes on, FIXD tells you exactly what\u2019s causing it in a way anyone can understand! No more looking up codes or taking it to the dreaded auto shop only to be given a list of unnecessary repairs \u2013 never again!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can also turn off&nbsp;the check engine light<\/strong> right from&nbsp;the FIXD app if the problem is not serious or if you&nbsp;want to see if it will reoccur.
