Fixico, RepairPal partner to provide a safe rideshare environment for drivers and riders

Sept. 10, 2020

Fixico, a new digital repair management platform to handle car damage, has partnered with RepairPal, the largest trusted auto repair network for high quality and fair prices in the US, to provide a safe environment for rideshare drivers and their passengers. With this partnership, the FixiCover Driver Shield can be installed in rideshare vehicles at RepairPal Certified shops nationwide.

In the face of COVID-19, ridesharing needs a safe driving environment to protect both drivers and passengers. To meet this urgent need, Fixico has developed its FixiCover Driver Shield which provides physical separation to keep people safe. Made of transparent, high-quality polycarbonate material, Driver Shield is very effective and similar to the protective screens we now see in retail stores. Better yet, the polycarbonate barrier is 250 times stronger than glass, fire resistant, flexible and installs and removes without special equipment or damage.

To ensure proper installation, drivers can get their FixiCover Driver Shield installed at RepairPal Certified shops. Repairpal thoroughly vets its 2,600 nationwide shops, ensuring drivers will have the highest quality experience for making their cars safe. Driver Shield installation is quick, allowing the drivers to safely and securely get back on the road quickly. The initial launch of this offering, in the Dallas and Fort Worth, TX areas is set to launch on September 3, 2020.

“Fixico has developed a great product to help solve the increasing concern for public safety in rideshare vehicles due to the current pandemic,” says Art Shaw, RepairPal CEO. “We’re happy to connect rideshare drivers with trusted mechanics in our network so that people are protected with appropriate installation of Driver Shields.”

“Safety for drivers and passengers is of utmost importance during these unprecedented times,” says Wouter Neef, Managing Director of FixiCover. “We’re proud to offer this innovative solution and help drivers and passengers stay protected. By recommending Driver Shield installation at RepairPal Certified shops, we know drivers will get a safe installation by highly skilled mechanics who stand behind their work and always charge fair prices. We’re excited to partner with RepairPal who shares in our commitment to continuously adapt to today’s landscape.”
