    The cost of a vehicle diagnostic test varies widely, depending on the age and model of your car, as well as whatever is wrong with it. But you will very likely be looking at a bill anywhere from $40 to $400 at a dealership, even before any repairs are undertaken. That\u2019s the bad news.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \"FIXD<\/figure>\n\n\n

    The good news is, if your car was manufactured after 1996, then you now have a choice of devices that can save you big money on repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Our Verdict \u2013 Which is better, FIXD or Hum?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing between FIXD and Hum ultimately depends on your specific needs and budget. We recommend FIXD<\/strong><\/a> due to its affordability, straightforward diagnostics, and the ability to monitor multiple vehicles.

    What Is FIXD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n

    Fixd was developed by 3 engineering students at Georgia tech who were fed up with seeing family and friends being taken advantage of when their cars needed to be repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Though they knew all cars since 1996 had computers on board that could tell you anything you needed to know<\/b>, those computers could only be understood by an experienced mechanic or an expensive diagnostic tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fortunately, the students knew enough about both tech and cars to create something affordable to do the same thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \"fixd\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Fixd hardware is plugged into your vehicle to monitor its health. When your \u201cCheck Engine<\/b>\u201d light comes on, detailed diagnostic information is then transmitted to the fixd app<\/a> on your phone in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to use FIXD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The first thing you need to do after buying a Fixd system is download the app from either Google Play or the Apple App Store and install it on your phone. Then these are the steps you need to follow<\/b>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Go to the phone settings, rather than the Bluetooth settings on your phone, to pair with the Fixd device. Because, that way, the pairing will happen automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Open up the Fixd app and register an account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Be sure the maintenance reminders are enabled, and choose your repair preferences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Then choose \u201cI have a FIXD sensor.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5.  Enter the code that is found on the back of your sensor, such as \u201cCV11111\u201d.6. Find the OBD-II port in your car. It is almost always located on the driver\u2019s side, just above the pedals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Plug the sensor into the port. When it is connected correctly, you will see a blue light flash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    8.  Go back to the app and tap where it says to add a sensor. The app will then scan to see if there are any sensors nearby, and you should see yours listed on the screen when it is located.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    9.  Give your sensor a name. It will probably help to name it after the car it\u2019ll be connected to, just remember to rename it if you switch it to a different car.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    10.  Start the engine of your car and let it run for at least 5 seconds before you try to connect to it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
