iFixit (/ˈfɪksɪt/ eye-FIX-it[4]) is an American e-commerce and how-to website that sells repair parts and publishes free wiki-like online repair guides for consumer electronics and gadgets. The company also performs product tear-downs of consumer devices. It is a private company in San Luis Obispo, California founded in 2003, spurred by Kyle Wiens[5] not being able to locate an Apple iBook G3 repair manual[6] while the company's founders[7] were attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
