FixYa Unveils Ultimate Fix-It-Yourself Resource for 10,000+ Car Makes and Models

With 8 Million Users, the Leading Online Source for Real-Life Solutions to Consumer Product Issues Adds Community-Based Automotive Advice

SAN MATEO, Calif. -- With rising fuel, insurance and maintenance costs, the price of car ownership has never been higher. FixYa, the ultimate online source where people find and provide real-life solutions to any consumer product issue, today launched a new category of solutions where users can find online manuals or specific answers to car maintenance and repair questions for more than 10,000 makes and models. Now people can save time and money by taking basic car maintenance into their own hands.

"The first person most people turn to for quick car help is a knowledgeable friend or neighbor, not the mechanic. We've created an online community where anyone, even those with zero car knowledge, can find a knowledgeable person to give them tips so they can pop the hood and fix simple problems themselves, whether it's changing the oil or adjusting the time on their clock," said Yaniv Bensadon, founder and CEO of FixYa.

Fixya's new car vertical will feature searchable service manuals and community answers for more than 10,000 makes and models from 1985 to today, across all categories including sports, compact, mid-size, trucks and SUVs. Anyone can quickly find the right answer to any car question today at: http://www.fixya.com.

Just like with the rest of Fixya.com, users can quickly find their particular make and model through a simple keyword search or by browsing by brand or product category. Users can either search from pre-existing solutions or post their own questions, which are readily answered by FixYa's community of helpful users. Examples of questions range from how to fix tire pressure to checking if a mechanic is quoting a fair price on a spark plug replacement.

Launched in 2005, FixYa has quickly grown to become the web's top destination for consumer product help and advice. Today, more than 8 million monthly unique users worldwide contribute more than 100,000 new questions and solutions each month, across more than 800,000 consumer products spanning all categories.
