Free tools

Free car tools. No signup, no paywall.

These run on the same data the Fixiom app uses. Type a vehicle, get the answer — that's it. No email, no account, no "first month free."

VIN decoder →

Type a 17-character VIN, get the exact vehicle — year, make, model, engine — then recalls and service bulletins for it in one shot.

Recall check →

Open safety recalls for any year, make, and model — live from NHTSA. Recall repairs are performed free by the dealer.

TSB lookup →

Search more than 175,000 technical service bulletins — the known-issues-and-factory-fixes paper trail that's usually behind a paywall.

Wheel torque specs →

Axle nut, hub mounting, and lug nut torque from SKF's published guide — close to 5,000 specs across 54 makes.

This tool lives inside the Fixiom app too

The scan tool is free forever — read and clear codes, live data, freeze frames, emissions checks, the battery test, and the trip computer. Credits only cover the AI reasoning on top. The adapter side needs a Bluetooth LE OBD2 adapter (about $20–30) — see the adapter guide.
