I did not sign up for a premium member ship and they first of all charged me $51.00 then the following week changed me another $108.00 , you can not reach a person so I had to tell my credit card that this is fraudulent because it's
I purchased this product and they…charged me fraudulently for a premium subscription
I purchased this product and they immediately signed me up for the premium subscription and charged me another $106. I did not subscribe so this was a fraudulent charge. Buyer beware. Reading reviews I see that they do this to pretty much everybody. This is fraud.

Beware! The company automatically renews the Premium service. They refused to refund the amount charged ($105.99) when I attempted to cancel on the renewal date. I have never used the service. It might be a wonderful product but, not at all consumer friendly.
Very very disappointed!
I have a fixed obd2 it said the same thing that the shop said my car would not start cause a fuel system problem but they cleared the codes. Which I could have done myself with this product. I could have saved 75 dollars. This tells you exactly what is wrong tells the code and the problem I'd recommend this to anyone.
Well just another review of what may be a good product with poor business practices, secret charges and poor response to cancel usage of their services. I have been going thru the same nightmare as many other customers with the secret $99 charge that seems to be a nightmare to stop. I finally had to call my credit card company and get a new card with a different number to stop this from continuing. They need to get their act together and provide a better cancelation of setvice process.
Ordered my device about a year ago. Honestly, I've yet to even usebit yet. I was unaware that I was enrolled in the subscription service for 99.00 annually. ( i didn't catch the charge 2 weeks later). Just 2 days ago,I did notice a 109.00 charge hit my bank from fixed. ??? I called their number, but to get a refund you must go to their website... You then click page after page, and like after link... But there's no way to get a refund... I went to my safety net of paypal and was surprised that they could offer no help. I then went to fixd website again and pulled up a chat bot. threatened to report to the bbb... REFUND!!!
I purchased this device for $19.99 on December 27, 2024. I received the device on January 4, 2925 and today I was charged $99.99 for a premium subscription which I did not sign up for. When I called customer service, a hostile agent by the name of Tiara told me that I had been AUTOMATICALLY enrolled in the program and I didn't have to sign up for it. She said it happens automatically 14 days after you purchase the device...FIXD IS A RIPOFF AND YOU SHOULD NOT BUY THIS DEVICE, EVEN AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE!!! This, in my opinion, is a perfect example of deceptive business practice. AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS!
Be very careful ordering this reader. You'll be auto enrolled in a $99 yearly subscription that most of us motor savvy folks would find not worth the cost. Why you will not get a refund is there is an option tab to not subscribe available. Don't miss that 'do not subscribe' tab.
The FIXD device appears to work as advertised. This low review is based on the FIXD's business practices. I bought the FIXD device and no extras. My credit card just got hit with a $99.99 charge from FIXD AUTO. Now I have to go thru the hassle of disputing the charge and replacing the card.
I purchased this device for my husband as a gift only to be awaken by an alert on my phone, stating that FIXD tried to charge $99.00 to my account. I immediately cancel my card! After reading similar reviews I realize this company is a scam!
Finally a easy to use, cost effective tool, to take the guess work out of car repairs. Also preventing the consumer from being ripped off from dishonest repair shops and car dealer repair shops. Knowledge is power.
. A GAME CHANGER !!!
I liked when my check engine light came on. I was able to find out what was going on with fixd. I at least knew the repair shop was being honest with me. I also liked when I was checking out a car to buy. I plugged in the fixd scanner. The result was there was no problems with the car detected. The purchase of the fixd scanner was well worth the money spent.
Do not trust this company! They will bill you $99 without your approval. I had my card replaced and they found a way to charge my new card. Disgraceful business practices.
Be very careful with these people. Just care about money.
I forgot to cancel the premium program and was billed $99.99 for another year. I cancelled within seconds of receiving the PayPal notice but they’ve refused to issue a refund.
They didn’t even offer to refund 11 months.
Greedy greedy corporation in my opinion.
The device had countless issues and customer service is not very responsive. Also, after attempting to cancel a $106.99 subscription charge on day later, was told that it would not be refunded.
