We've been expecting you.

I have never felt compelled to write a Yelp review before but I cannot say enough good things about Joel and his team at Carcanix. Everybody needs to know what an awesome shop this is. I called about having a pre purchase inspection done on a used car in the area and was just completely blown away by the service I was provided at this shop, even from the very first phone call. I found the ad for the used car on Craigslist and Joel actually pulled up the ad while I was on the phone with him and was looking at it with me and making recommendations on what to look for and what to avoid when shopping for used cars. I brought a car to him that I thought was in pretty decent condition for a used car with a salvage title but they looked over the car with such a fine toothed comb and found many things that would have probably cost me a lot of money later on. Rob, the mechanic who conducted the PPI explained all the issues in a way that even the most car illiterate person would be able to understand. Joel is such a straight shooter and he and his team are truly committed to serving the best interest of anybody that walks through his doors. Cannot recommend enough. These guys are incredible!

I've been taking my cars to Joel and team for years now. He has done pre-purchase inspections, helped me prep cars to sells and all the usual stuff in between - brakes, oil changes, A/C repair, check engine light work, etc. Joel is always up front about what needs to be done, what should be done soon, and what can be done in the future and what the risks are if you are working within a budget and want to spread out the repairs over time. Joel is also realistic about his schedule. If he is booked up for the week, he will tell you instead of letting you drop your car off and wondering why it isn't ready. Even though I no longer work in Rancho, I still take my cars to Carcanix because I trust them.

I brought my 2013 VW Golf TDI for transmission fluid and filter replacement & an oil change a couple of weeks ago. I brought it in at the time agreed upon and they returned it back at the time promised. The work took a few hours so I was dropped off & picked up afterwards. There was some loose bolts in the driver's door. Joel had it checked out and tightened as a courtesy. He's honest & really takes care of his customers. That's why I keep coming back.
