FIY=Fix It Yourself

Ever in a jam? Something breaks, you need it fixed, don't want to buy a new one, want to fix it yourself? Well, I have just the Website that could help you in your time of need. It is called Fix Ya (solutions for everything). Really, they have a ton of info on this website. Here is some of the info that I grabbed from their site...

ABOUT US



In 2005, too many product manufacturers were neglecting post-purchase customer support. While there were thousands of shopping sites and search engines, customers looking to repair, modify and beautify their belongings were left at a loss. This was a particularly egregious offence as so many brand name retailers were releasing new technologies unseen by the average consumer.

Frustrated by the lack of practical post-purchase information, entrepreneur Yaniv Bensadon set out to build a community resource capable of providing relevant and up-to-date troubleshooting data. Bensadon and his small team began aggregating practical product tips and providing then in one user-friendly site. This site became the home of the FixYa community.



Today, with over 20 million visitors and 1 million products in its database, FixYa continues to empower individuals to repair and improve upon their already-purchased possessions. Meanwhile, the company has since begun offering business services to manufacturers and retail businesses through its custom partnership opportunities. To see what FixYa users are saying about the site, visit the Testimonial Page.



Technical and customer support has taken a turn for the better. FixYa reduces support costs for manufacturers while placing power in the hands of the average consumer. Gone are the days of the impersonal phone support specialist or the cryptic repair manual. FixYa is a place where individuals can share real world experience and connect to provide each other practical advice. From fixing cars, to cameras, to iPhones, FixYans are part of a DIY revolution that helps empower techies, tinkerers and hobbyists across the globe.



FixYa is a venture-funded Web 2.0 company with offices in San Mateo, California. For more information, visit FixYa's blog or email a question via the contact page.
