Direct-Hit is Identifix’s subscription-based online diagnostic information source offering real-world, proven diagnostic and fix information.

Direct-Hit delivers more than 325,000 Hotline Archives that are symptoms, associated short-cut tests and fixes, and includes more than 150,000 Confirmed Fixes. Direct-Hit is updated constantly with more than 6,000 new symptoms, associated short-cut tests and fixes added to the database each month.
"Our strong growth is proof positive of the industry support for our products and services. Direct-Hit allows us to share with the entire industry the knowledge we gain from talking to over 20,000 shops each year," said Jeff Sweet, Identifix president. "By using Hotline Archives a shop is able to see whether other shops are observing similar problems on vehicles. It can then take advantage of the short cut tests created by our master technicians and use likely causes to Find Fixes Faster." Sweet added.
Identifix is proud of its steady growth of 20,000 Direct-Hit subscribers, but is it also delighted by the level of access to vehicle information its current subscribers are taking advantage of. Currently, Direct-Hit subscribers are accessing more than 160,000 vehicles weekly equaling 8.3 million vehicles look ups annually.
