Identifix, Inc., an industry provider of vehicle diagnostics and repair for over 25 years, has reached another milestone: its 50,000th subscriber to Direct-Hit, its award-winning online tool.

To commemorate the occasion, Identifix has launched an unprecedented contest, called the 50K Giveaway. Five Direct-Hit users who submit a Hotline Archive Confirmed Fix in Direct-Hit from July 6, 2015 to October 4, 2015, will be chosen among all eligible entries to win $10,000.

“We literally wouldn’t be where we are without our subscribers, as their calls to our Repair Hotline as well as their confirmed fixes fuel Direct-Hit with accurate and reliable content that benefits all our customers,” said Jeff Sweet, President of Identifix. “We developed the 50K Giveaway contest to thank our subscribers for their loyal support allowing those technicians who contribute to the value of Direct-Hit by posting fixes to participate for a $10,000 prize.”

Confirmed Fixes must be validated by Identifix and posted to Direct-Hit to be eligible for the giveaway, with a maximum of 100 fixes per participant. In order to participate, users must select a vehicle from the “My Open Fixes” tab in Direct-Hit under the “Confirmed Fix Dashboard” and click on the “What Fixed It?” link (see Step 1 illustration on the next page). Select the Hotline Archive used for the fix (Step 2) and choose the component and action to fix the vehicle from the respective dropdown lists (Step 3). Users may include additional components and actions if necessary by clicking on the “Add another Component and Action” link. First and last names in the field at the bottom are necessary so Identifix can contact the winners (Step 4), then hit “Submit.” For full contest rules please visit: http://50grand.identifix.com/.
