Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 44 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people found the associated app consistently problematic, often not working, crashing, or providing unhelpful information. Customers reported that the device frequently failed to accurately detect vehicle issues or incorrectly indicated a healthy status despite significant problems. Several consumers also experienced poor customer service, describing it as slow and ineffective in resolving their reported issues. However, some customers found the device useful for vehicle tracking and appreciated the peace of mind it offered on journeys. A few other people also felt that the installation was easy and the app, for them, was simple to use.

Doesn't work at all

Got this vixa thing for our car as there is definitely something wrong with our car but in the app it says its perfectly fine. The gear goes back to neutral when I turn it to drive. Definitely dangerous but vixa says my car is fine. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Excellent piece of kit very easy to install, the battery health check was very accurate and the tyre wear scanner is a brillant edition. The virtual mechanic function has given me some great advice in regards to keeping my vehicle winter ready.

App is poor. Customer service worse.

App is poor. Incredibly slow to update and frequently crashes. Many parts of the App don't even work.
The only thing worse than the App is the customer service when you have an issue. Slow and unresponsive.
Won't use again.

Gives me peace of mind on long journeys!

Really nifty piece of kit! For someone who finds understanding how my car works quite daunting, I've been really relieved having the Vixa device over the last 12 months. It gave me a heads up on when my MOT was due which I booked direct through the app, and the tire checker feature is great - gives me peace of mind on long journeys!

Fantastic Device

Wow, well done AA for lauching this new device. Its a game changer for your vehice and a must. It lets you know in advance when a problem is arising and also has advice on what the probable cause is. You have online technical support team on hand for further advice ensuring the vehicle is safe to drive. Books your vehicle in for MOT and for repairs nearby and the best thing of all, it has a built in device so you know where your car is or was last parked. So simple but elegant. 100% recommended!

Useless Device

Useless Device, horrible customer service, takes forever to hear back from the customer support, they charge you £6 monthly for a service they don't even provide. Every single time their app fails, app logs you out from your phone, there are many better brands that you can use such as " car pal "

This app is totally useless and does not give any information at all. I can diagnose more information standing next to the car doing a visual check ?

Hi Paul, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry Vixa hasn't been working as you expected – this could be down to a compatibility issue. Some Vixa features are limited on hybrid models, and we're working to make this clearer in the app. For now, if you want us to take a closer look at what insights you're getting, email us at support@vixa.co.uk

Didn’t work & dismal customer service

I installed it and it seemed ok but then I had a failure of cylinder-3 injector of which it had not given any warning (£420 repair) it then showed a “low severity” fault with the glow plugs, so I had them replaced but Vixa continued to show the fault after they had been fixed - I contacted customer support who told me they would reset my Account and from that point onwards Vixa hasn’t worked. Contacting customer support is an utter waste of time, they are really useless - I reported the issue and chased it several times and they don’t get back to give any updates on what is happening (If anything) and give no idea as to when the problem will be fixed. I had expected better from the AA

I subscibed to the AA vixa monitoring app.
This morning my battery was flat. The app stated that my battery was in good condition. I called AA out and they diagnosed that the battery had failed. I can only assume that it has never worked. I feel conned. Wish I had seen the other reviews before subscibing.

Hi Alan, thanks for sharing your experience and we're sorry this happened to you. We've looked into this to find out why it could have been, and it seems your car wasn't driven for a while. Our battery health feature relies on regular vehicle use to pick up battery deterioration more reliably, and we think this is why you didn't get the alert you expected. We're actively working to update this feature.

Thanks for your feedback, Martyn. When a new battery is installed, it can take up to eight weeks for Vixa to update the battery status, especially if the replacement wasn’t done through The AA network. We’re working on clearer in-app guidance and appreciate your patience as we improve this process.

Never worked yet after 6 weeks

bought And installed vixa on 31st Aug 2025. I've had the device for 6 weeks now And after multiple software updates 2 months refund it's still not working.

It has never been working since I installed it and they keep telling me next week they have an update. Next week comes and goes and still not working.

Hi, we're sorry for the issues you've experienced and understand it must be frustrating. We're aware of a technical fault that's affecting a small number of users on certain devices and our team is working hard to fix it. If you contact us on support@vixa.co.uk we'll keep you updated on your case.

Scam! Selling but no Vixa on stock to deliver....

Signed up in September, email confirmation advised that the vixa device would arrive in 3 to 5 days. On the 7th day called to find out where it was to be told that the despatch team had not received my order. Guy on the phone apologised and issued a credit for the 3.99 I paid when I signed up. Also said he'd get the device posted out. Several days later I called again and after speaking with a somewhat rude customer service operator (Abdul) he told me that he did not know when I would receive the device. Clearly there is a supply issue but in the meantime the AA is still allowing orders and taking people's money! I raised a complaint but wholly expect it's been filed in section BIN. Save your money people.

This device is rubbish

This device is rubbish. I've had this 2 years. It's never worked. Called and emailed customer service. Hopeless. Surprised to get an email saying my battery was defective despite the app showing that the device wasn't connected to the Internet. Zero stars more appropriate.
The app they had before the Vixa worked perfectly but they replaced it with rubbish.

We appreciate your feedback and sorry for the frustration, Jim. You're right that Vixa doesn't currently read all dashlight warnings including coolant levels, but we have plans to include this on the app. We also hold customer research sessions - if you'd like to join one to let us know more of your thoughts on the app get in touch at support@vixa.co.uk

Garbage

Garbage. Despite unplugging and rebooting the device doesn't show my driving score. Ended out cancelling. Poor customer support and response times.

Thanks for your feedback, Angus, and we're sorry you've had a poor experience with Vixa. The issue could be it takes a few journeys for the device to calibrate before it can show driving scores, but how many journeys varies by vehicle. We can look into this in more detail if you get in touch at support@vixa.co.uk
