Identifix Direct-Hit Reviews & Product Details

I like that shops all over the country use it, and that we can see the symptoms and fixes other people have run into. It also includes notes about testing and how to confirm the diagnosis, which makes it easier to be confident in what you’re seeing. It is kind of like looking in to the future before trying certain test or fixes. Makes our workflow run smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the information isn’t very well organized. Multiple repairs will show up as if they were different fixes, even though they’re actually the same fix. Better organization of fixes and symptoms would help a lot. Also, finding information can be difficult if I’m not using the exact same wording that other shops or the manufacturer uses.

What I like most about Identifix Direct-Hit is the confirmed fix information from other technicians. It helps me quickly identify common failure patterns and compare them with my own diagnostic results. The wiring diagrams, test procedures, TSBs, and repair information are also very useful and save a lot of diagnostic time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the search results can be repetitive or not specific enough to the exact vehicle or symptom. I would also like easier access to OEM procedures and more detailed step-by-step diagnostic information without having to open several different pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Identifix Direct-Hit helps me quickly find common failure points for trouble codes without having to do extensive diagnostics, which really boosts efficiency at the start of the diagnostic process.

The GUI is outdated. It looks like it was designed in the 2010s era of the internet. Commonly used features are the same size and hard to locate as less used features, making navigation a bit tricky. It would be nice to have the new vehicle and search box stand out more to improve usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Faster diagnostics, with more complete and accurate repairs. The help from the technicians has been extremely valuable. I also like that we’re able to see updated information when something has been changed from the OE to correct mistakes that were previously missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the cost in time and resources to reach the person who can help us walk through things is a bit higher than I’d like. We’re also finding more and more that we’re the first shop to notice these issues, and we’re the next generation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Identifix allows us to find repair times for off brand vehicles that allows us to estimate repair costs to customer and/or to our sales department for used cars. It also allows us to find out information about off brand cars like wiring diagrams, repair instructions, part locations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there is no labor time available for specific repairs (i.e. engine harness replacement) which makes it difficult to retrieve the proper amount of time when quoting insurance companies for repairs. Also, the system is a little difficult to navigate unless you know exactly what you are looking for and where to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how you can get tons of manufacturer information on vehicles, diagrams, charts, and specs from one source. Also like how you can get real tech experience on a concern and that can help guide you with your own diagnostic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the information I'm looking for is a little hard to find, or when you search, it’ll say the data is unavailable. I wish I could see docs on my scanner as well. It doesn't let me see certain information on my scan tool because of software differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
