Scam and theft. You’ve been warned.

Was immediately locked out of the account after they got my payment info. They never got the account working for me BUT they continued to bill me for 6 months despite numerous requests to stop. Couldn’t stop it myself because they never unlocked the account. Finally cancelled the card, super convenient to have to go back to every vendor that card had recurring payments for.

Trash service, not like it used to be. They talk a good talk about fixing things but never do anything more than respond to each attempt at communication and fail to follow up. You literally get your information stolen and no service or product in return. You have been warned.

We're sorry you're having this issue. Certain Direct-Hit subscriptions, such as DIY, do not come with access to the mobile app. If your access seems off, please call 1-866-996-8806 with your account info and we'll be sure to review it.

Amazing service and app

Previously i submitted a low rating because I lost access to the app. At the time I did not realize that was a trial period and DIY was online only through the browser. The individuals I talked to that helped me were top notch. The information in this app and service is invaluable. Manuals, TSBs, etc are in the best format I have seen from an autorepair manual service. If you work on vehicles or run a shop I highly recommend. Thank you Identifix for your outstanding product and amazing customer service. Yall lead the way in both of these areas. If youre a potential customer and scoping out what they offer, do not give it a second guess. You wont regret choosing them and their subscription. If your a DIYer this is hands down the best system for you. $30 per month is absolutely worth every penny for what you get. Very user friendly.

Thank you for your recent comments and we're glad you were able to experience the Direct-Hit Mobile App and saw value.

Horrible customer service

They will take your money and remove access to your account with no reason whatsoever. Do not trust this company and their customer service. The app is good if you have access but i would highly recommend all data diy or mitchell 1 because this company lacks sufficient customer service help and management of your information and account. They are a bunch of thieves. Im currently in process of reporting them to the attorney general of Florida for taking money without providing the service promised.

Wiring diagrams

Unable to access the colour wiring diagrams through the app. Other than that the app works well. But it is a major pain not having colour diagrams

Scam

Site tells you it’s free only to take you to another site to get to download link. Once you download the app it takes you to a different site asking you to sign up for a paid subscription.

Quick Service - Time Saver

VIN scanner and Quick-Hits are great features to speed up quick service. App also has confirmed fixes, wiring diagrams, procedures, parts, etc.

1990?

Why does it end at 1990? The web version ends at 1939 and has a ‘display more years’ dealy just below it.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Our decision to limit coverage to 1990 and newer vehicles was based on content availability and the relatively low usage of older models. As we expand our content sources, we’re continuing to evaluate options for adding coverage for vehicles built before 1990. We appreciate your input and will keep it in mind for future updates.

Need a search option on vehicle list

Everything else it's perfect, working fine, but you really need a search option on vehicle list. Seriously

This app was amazing right up until the last update. Now it just spins for days when I try to log in rendering it unusable.

No one else has a true mobile app and Direct Hit even has more and newer vehicle coverage than anything else on the market. Highly recommend!!!

App is well designed. Check out the Quick Summary for maintenance specs. Hugh time saver. Also has specifications for new model vehicles (2024).
