*Calculated the average rating of both the App Store and Google Play Store, then rounded to the nearest number. Data based on June 15th, 2025.

**Price based on what was advertised on www.fixd.com as of June 15th, 2025.

“The utility you get for the price you pay is unmatched, imho. Many scanners at this price point do not give you engine, abs, airbag, and other codes. In addition to that, you can monitor many data points like battery voltage, transmission temp, etc in real time. This product saved me SOO much time when my battery died. I was able to determine that it was, in fact, my battery and nothing else like alternator or a sensor. I cannot recommend this enough!”

“The product works great. I own two of the units. I keep the plugged into my vehicles all the time. They can give me real-time information. I am extremely satisfied with both devices and much less expensive than the handheld devices.”

- Verified Amazon Customer

“Easy setup, works great, easy to use, a very informative tool. Works fast, diagnosis entire vehicle, connected quickly , worth the price to get the answer to the codes and also projects the cost of parts to repair the vehicle.”

- Verified Amazon Customer

“I had a check engine light on my 2023 Promaster. It was easily reset and was a faulty seal on the gas cap. I also used it to reset the maintenance due light in my 2015 Lexus. It connected quickly and will be in my glove box from here on out. Very handy tool!”

- Verified Amazon Customer

“The Innova 1000 OBD2 Scanner works really well, and shows codes that a normal code reader won't; things like glitches in the comms between the car's computer modules. It will allow you to view and record live data from the vehicle; a BIG help when relating issues to a mechanic. You can "catch the car in the act" and show the mechanic the recorded live data for more effective troubleshooting. This scanner is a MUST if you're in the market for a used car.”

- Verified Amazon Customer

“I’m definitely not one to leave reviews, however I’m extremely thrilled with this scanner. I’ve been having an on and off check engine light on my 2018 Silverado 1500 since I bought the vehicle in 2021. Usually it only comes on during the Minnesota winter, so having to drive to Autozone or bring it into the dealership is a real pain when it’s -15° out.

Getting the scanner and app set up took literally one minute. Captured everything I need from the Vehicle information to the MIL DTC and other stored codes. Some have said the dongle is cheaply made, which might be true, but what difference does it make when it’s discrete and clean. What matters is the ability to hold a connection (no issues), reliability, and that it functions correctly- all of which seem to be true.”

- Verified Amazon Customer

“Helped to quickly diagnose a problem that we fixed ourselves at zero cost….well worth the investment. Ford wanted 200 to diagnose and 48 hours to do it. It took us 10 minutes☺️ ”

- Verified Amazon Customer

“I’m impressed of everything it can do. It even has real time reading charts of different components working at the same time to indicate how the vehicle is performing. It has engine scan or full vehicle scan. What I like the most is that it tells you what needs to get fixed and it gives you a link that takes you to the car part you need to buy. For what it does you can’t beat the price. 🙌 recommend it 1,000% ”

See What Reddit Users Are Saying

“Are there thousands of satisfied customers in love with their FIXD app? Maybe. There's no way to verify that the people raving about their FIXD experience are truly organic., but you can bet your bottom dollar that all the people complaining about getting billed for something they never agreed to are.”

“I bought one directly from FIXD. I'm on vacation and while the unit is sitting at my home I have not seen it, until a few minutes ago I had not downloaded their app or anything. The problem is they automatically added a free trial of their premium service to my order - which I didn't ask for. And with travelling I've not been checking my emails so I missed the email that they had automatically signed me up for their premium service (which I never asked for!)And now they have billed me $99.99 for that service even though I never activated my account and have not even seen the unit yet. So I downloaded the app, signed up, cancelled the subscription and it says I can get a full refund within 30 days but the 'refund' button I see now I've cancelled the service doesn't work. Worst experience ever! Buyer beware!!”

“I can't recommend anyone buy a FIXD, they charge a subscription fee to check emissions readiness. This is completely unacceptable, it costs them nothing to have this feature, an in app purchase would be barely acceptable, but a recurring charge is absurd.”

“my experience with Fixd: Purchased the OBD sensor in 2/24, I was automatically charged the $99 fee for "premium",I disputed the charge and it was refunded but not promptly. I placed the unit in my trunk for future use, fast forward to March of this year when a check engine light came on, I opened the previously unused Fixd case and attempted to use the sensor, it wouldn't work, after several emails to customer service at their insistence i tried it in a different vehicle, still wouldn't work. I ended up taking the first car into a local mech. who plugged his OBD in and he ran a report no problem. I've explained this in an email asking that Fixd refund or at the very least replace their defective device. NO RESPONSE!!! Also, they have no customer service phone desk so it is impossible to talk to a live human. FIXD SUCKS!!!”

“Not only is it junk for 21 bucks, this company hit my account for an additional 107.99 10 days later. Real shit bag move.. plans to sue them. Bank is investigating also.”

“I cancelled my FIXD subscription well before the renewal date. They still charged my credit card 99.00. My bank caught it as a fraud. Cancelled my credit card and getting a new card with a new number. Read BBB reviews of FIXD!”

“I ordered FIXD without the subscription and today my Apple Card declined a $99 subscription fee.”

“I was just charged yesterday and I actually canceled it last year. It is a scam.”

“they charged me $99.00 and i did not know how they did it I try to cancel it no good its a rip off the BBB gave them a F A BIG F”
