SAN MATEO, Calif. – When so many are struggling to make ends meet, one online repair community continues to keep families green and save money. FixYa’s (http://fixya.com/) 9 million members and visitors share, learn and connect to save items from landfills.

“I figured, why not save some bucks and just move my husband’s dying computer into a larger case?” Says Monica McWilliams, FixYa user. “FixYa provided the manual for the motherboard that allowed me to get all the wires sorted out and get the machine booted up on the first try!”

Members register to organize receipts, extend warranties, access manuals and help others by becoming experts.

FixYa also offers a paid option where community members who require immediate assistance pay a small fee to interact with experts via instant message or telephone. A percentage of the fee is given to the premium assistance expert who best solves a member’s problem.
