Fix it for a buck.

The cheap, honest way to fix the stuff around your house and car — instead of buying the overpriced gadget or paying a pro for a five-minute job. The real fix, and the honest limit of every one.

The $1 Fix emblem
  • The real part — named, so you can find it.
  • The real price — what it costs at a real store.
  • The honest limit — and when to call a pro.

For most of what breaks around a house or a car, there's a fix that costs about a dollar and takes ten minutes. Somewhere along the way we got talked into the gadget, the subscription, or the $150 call-out for a job you could've done before the kettle boiled.

The $1 Fix is the opposite of that. The real fix, the exact parts and what they cost, and — the part nobody else tells you — the honest limit of each one, so you know when a buck does the job and when it's genuinely time to spend the money or call a licensed pro.

Who we are

The cheap fix — done right

The $1 Fix: cheap, honest fixes for the house and car, with the real part, the real price and the honest limit of each one.

We also tell you when a cheap fix is the wrong call: when a "hack" is a myth, when a cheap patch will cost you more later, and when a job is a safety job for a licensed pro. No exaggerated savings, no scare tactics.

Inside the free guide

Seven you can do today

1

Silence a squeaky door hinge

A few drops of the right oil on the pin — not a whole can of spray. Pennies, two minutes.

2

Stop a toilet that won't quit running

Nine times out of ten it's a $4 flapper, not a plumber. Here's how to be sure.

3

Clear a slow drain — safely

A $2 plastic zip-strip and hot water beat the harsh chemical jug (and we'll tell you when NOT to).

4

De-fog cloudy headlights

Bring back the cheap clarity with something already in your bathroom — and how to make it last.

5

Fill nail holes & drywall dings

A $3 tub of spackle and a putty knife make the wall look new. The trick is in the second pass.

6

Kill the one draft that costs you most

Find the worst gap and seal it for a couple of dollars — beats fiddling with the thermostat.

…and the seventh — plus the full how-to, exact parts, and the honest limit for each — in the free PDF.

A straight deal
Every fix here is real. If a hack is a myth, we say so. If it has a limit or a risk, you hear it plainly.

What this is

Cheap fixes that genuinely work, with the exact parts, the honest limits, and the safety notes spelled out — the kind of straight advice you'd get from someone who's actually done the job.

What it isn't

No "industry doesn't want you to know this," no exaggerated savings, no scare tactics. If a shortcut is unsafe or simply doesn't work, you'll read that here first.

Before you ask

Straight answers

Will these actually work for my home and car?

They're the common fixtures, appliances, and car jobs nearly every household has — and each fix names its honest limit, so you know before you start exactly what it can and can't do.

I'm not handy. Is it too technical?

No. It's written for plain tools and ten-minute jobs, in plain language. The first-weekend road map starts you on the five easiest, highest-payoff fixes so you get a quick win.

What exactly do I get?

A 69-page PDF with all 39 fixes, 7 more from the channel and the corrections page, plus the Toolkit — a shopping list, a first-weekend road map, a blank ledger, and a 39-fix wall card. Instant download; read it on any device or print it for the garage.

Isn't this just the free guide repackaged?

No. The free guide is 7 fixes. Volume I is all 39 — home and car — with the safety section, the myths-to-skip, the dated price list, and the Toolkit the free guide doesn't include.

Is it safe?

Every fix states its limit and its safety line. Anything involving gas, fuel, brakes, steering, mains electrical, or structural work is flagged plainly as a licensed-pro job — not a $1 fix. Honesty is the whole point of the brand.

Who is it for?

Anyone who'd rather fix a small thing than pay to replace it, beginners included. It is not for big jobs: gas, wiring, brakes, roofs or structure belong to a licensed pro, and the book says so.

Is it made with AI?

The narration and many illustrations on The $1 Fix channel are made with AI tools. The fixes, the prices and their limits are checked as the book describes, with a dated source list at the back.

What if it's not for me?

30-day refund, no questions asked. Ask within 30 days of buying and you get your money back.

Is it a printed book?

No. It's a digital PDF book. After you pay you get a download link straight away, and you can read it on your phone, tablet or computer, or print the pages you want at home. Nothing is posted to you. If you were expecting a printed book, just ask for a refund.

Keep your money in your pocket.

Start with the free guide this weekend. The rest of the fixes are here when you want them.
