New Technology

      The new technology I chose to right about is called FIXD. It is a gadget that helps figure out what is wrong with your car. You plug it in the OBD in your car and it sends the information of what needs to be fixed to your phone.

      This gadget was made by students in Atlanta, Georgia. They were tired of their friends and family getting taken advantage of by auto shop workers. So they made this to help find problems withing your car and tell you how much it should cost to get it fixed.


      Only thing you have to do is plug it into the OBD in your car and sync it to your phone. Once you do that it should automatically tell you problems in your car. When your check engine comes on, it automatically says the problem. If it isn't that serious, the app lets you turn the check engine light off.

      You would think that this costs a hundred dollars, your wrong. It costs only $59. The founders of this made it more affordable to buy so they can help as many people as possible. They think this will help with problems getting scammed at auto repair shops.
