Anyone familiar with PhixCar.com?
 
I'm an admin for the 4WDABC Facebook group. "Jimmy Butler" has been messaging several of the other admins wanting to advertise this service with us. Something about it smells fishy about it, though...

I googled the name, and one of the hits came up on an RS thread that appears to no longer exist... figured if it's getting nuked from here, it must be pretty sketchy.

Anyone know anything about it?

Saw it before the thread was deleted. Seemed like it was a startup app that involved the user taking a picture of their damaged car on the app and receiving multiple quotes from different body shops also using the app. Didn't seem fishy, probably just trying to advertise

Smartphones can't see whats underneath though, could be just a crack on the bumper from a rear-ender but the foam and re-bar underneath could be fucked.

Seems like a shallow idea. Every quote would be really low and once you're in there the real estimate would be a lot higher.

Yeah, that's my thinking... not a scam per se, but...
