They charge you a subscription fee automatically without you ever signing up for it and make some long winded bs way of going through their site cramming their product subscription down your throat to get your refund back, we will see if I even get the refund back…
They sell a product to help you avoid being scammed, and then scam you themselves by signing you up for a long subscription and making it very difficult to cancel it. Very disappointed.
I bought FIXD thinking it was a one time buy. Only to find out the ridiculous monthly subscription fee. Now trying to get a refund because of shady business practices.

Becareful people this is a scam, they want to drain my bank account but i close it. I brought a Fixd little white box for $29... After i received my item.I received 20 email. after that they started takeing $109 from my Paypal account, even paypal can not returned my money.......
When I first got this last year, they were charging me a monthly fee. I was unaware they were going to do that. Just got charged the annual fee, also unauthorized. These people messing with my finances.
They secretly set you up for an annual subscription for $99 if you order their $19 device, and then attempt to charge your CC over and over. There is no clear visibility on auto setup
They charged me $105 without my authorization. After being left on hold for over an hour and arguing with them for another hour. They finally agreed to cancel the unauthorized subscription and return my money 2 weeks later. Here we are a year later (06/20/25), and I am back on the phone on hold for over an hour trying to get my refund again because they got it out of Paypal.
It’s a scam. They sell you a cheap computer and slam you with renewals on a useless premium service set up to auto renew. If you complain and try to get a refund they have an FU attitude.
Be aware of renewal process and their discount offer
BE AWARE OF THEY DON'T HONOR THEIR OFFER.
First of all, their premium subscription does not worth the money. If you run into any engine code issue in your car you can easily search online and it's free. Their offer was $50 for a year I wanted to try it.
Main problem starts with this app/company, when you try to cancel your subscription. They offer %50 discount for premium subscription renewal but at the end they don't apply it. By the time you noticed you're charged full amount of renewal fee, it's being too late. They don't honor their offer and they keep full renewal fee.
While some users might find this code reader beneficial, it doesn't quite live up to the promises made in its advertisements.
My husband purchased FIXD in April 2024 and was not advised of the yearly automatic premium.I contacted FIXD to cancel the yearly subscription online when he got his billing statement. I had to go thru a complicated process in order to cancel. He contacted them for a refund for the remaining months($82.50) and they advised a refund is only due the first year. What a way to con customers out of money.BAD BUSINESS!! I will be contacting the BBB regarding this unfair practice.
Made an unauthorised charge from my bank account for their optional premium subscription which I definitely declined, I immediately tried to cancel the complete purchase, they just kept telling me I had to cancel the subscription that I did not order on their website, the cancellation link just kept sending me back to the same page trying to convince me the benefits of their premium subscription service, the following day they still sent my order even though I requested it cancelled, I called my bank and cancelled my card to stop them from taking $180 AU from my account. They are SCAMMERS!
Purchased the device using my credit card, device arrives, keen to scan and it tells me my 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5 petrol that is naturally aspirated has a turbo charger fault??? I went to support and asked why it is saying there is a fault with my turbocharger on a NON turbo car. AI support says I need to ask a mechanic in the "premium" section. I asked for a refund and was again referred by the AI to the premium section -again another AI bot that didn't understand my question and request for refund. This was Friday, after much frustration from the very limited customer service (due to it all being AI with the same responses) I emailed asking for a refund, explaining my issue. Saturday evening at 935 FIXD debited $170.42 from my bank account without authorisation. This company keeps your credit card details and will debit money from your account without authorisation. Now many automated email responses that have not addressed my issues. Buy anything else but this product, customer service is poor (all AI with limited responses), unauthorised charges and keeping credit card details. Would NOT recommend
this product is a scam, if you end up paying for the premium subscription , it is a night mare to cancel the 99.99 charge and when you do they only give you back 50 .00.
This is a complete con. I did not sign up to any subscription. And they tried to take €107.99 out of my account without my permission. Luckily my card has no been cancelled. Don't trust this company.
