Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

On-demand expert auto mechanics at your home

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that sends expert auto mechanics to customers' homes or offices to perform repairs and maintenance across a wide range of vehicle issues, from batteries and brakes to engines and transmissions. Instead of driving to a shop, users schedule service at their convenience, saving time and hassle.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Toronto, ON, Canada, and plan to keep Fiix based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Toronto has a strong automotive repair market, and it's where we know our initial users. Staying local lets us operate closer to the early customer base and mechanics we've recruited.
