Review: Find your Fix – FixYa.com

I was asked to review this site by someone very interested in seeing what I thought. I am all too happy to oblige .

FixYa.com is engineered to help consumers with technical problems they are having with their devices. There is live free tech help, a search for repair facilities in your area, and a user elected answer database. The interface is easy to understand and navigate. I adore the sticky pad rating that users can give to answers they find on the site.

One of my favorite features: You don’t have to sign up or sign in to find solutions. I hate having to sign up for a site or pay for their service just to see a simple solution to a problem. Many sites have that problem, thankfully this is not one of them.

Even though the site is still in beta, there is plenty of action. If you are an expert who wants to help out, you can register as such and choose your area of expertise. If not, you can register as a regular user and be privy to using the rating system, commenting, and such. You don’t have to be an expert to help others with their problems.

If you are a repair person, you can advertise on the site. I have done a search for repair people in my area. I am hoping that they are able to add more facilities to their database. My area didn’t have that many entries, but I hope that they can remedy this soon. I would love for someone who lives in a more diverse area to do a search with their zip code and tell me what they come up with in relation to where their home is located. Let me know!

You can also give the FixYa people your feedback. They are located on Spicypage, just like me.
