My Fix-It Helper

What it does

A running toilet, a dead outlet, a chirping smoke alarm, a car that won't start: most everyday problems have a simple fix. My Fix-It Helper walks you through it step by step, starting with how to do it safely, and tells you exactly what to buy and when it's time to call a pro instead.

• 37 fixes: plumbing, doors and windows, walls and floors, electrical basics, appliances, outdoor and garage, home safety and security, and car basics
• Safety first on every fix, plus "call a pro if…" so you know when to stop
• A parts list with one-tap links to Home Depot and Lowe's, or AutoZone, Advance Auto and O'Reilly for car fixes
• A parts & supplies list you can share, and a seasonal home checklist
• One free CashCow account works here and in every CashCow app

Pricing

Every fix, the parts & supplies list and the home checklist are free. Premium adds My Home: saved projects, a repair log with costs, and reminders for filters, smoke alarms, gutters and more, for $1.99/month, $14.99/year or $29.99 once.
