We've been expecting you.

Bottom line - if you're looking for an all around excellent, honest and efficient shop for your car repairs, go here. Seriously. I've been shopping around for quotes for my aging 2010 Mazda 6 since March 2020, when I originally spoke to Joel, who runs Carcanix. He was definitely my first choice despite getting over thirty quotes, but I just didn't have the money for repairs at that time. Fast forward six months to this Tuesday. I'm finally ready to pull the trigger and get my prized (for sentimental reasons) Mazda running once more. I needed A LOT of stuff done. Serpentine belt, spark plugs, synthetic oil change, new rotors, new brake pads, flushing brake and steering fluids, cabin and engine air filters (these are things I went in knowing I wanted, not services I was up sold on) and more. Joel got me in THE NEXT DAY, I thought I was going to be waiting weeks. From the moment I walked in, I was happy because masks are required, the lobby is chained off and I didn't have to worry about getting Covid on top of repairing my car. Joel went over my list of repairs with me in detail discussing everything I wanted, including going over repairs that may not even have to be done to try and save me some money. He worked with me on my strict budget, and was able to complete all of my repairs and more within said allotted budget. As an additional customer service cherry on top, he honored my quote from March, which was lower than a current quote would have been. Not only that, but I got my car in at 9:30 am and my car was ready to go by 5:30 pm despite my laundry list of repairs. I'm ashamed to say I didn't get the names of the fantastic mechanics that I presume performed most of the actual labor, but they were extremely kind and impressive as well. As you can see from my other reviews, I haven't made too many over the last decade, and none this thorough, but I feel that strongly about Carcanix. For as long as I'm living in the greater Sacramento area, I will not take my business anywhere else.

Carcanix was recommended to me through my friend from work and I couldn't be happier with their work and service. I had an oil change, tire rotation and they replaced a couple broken parts in my wipers. Joel is upfront and breaks down how much everything is down to the parts and service while also being easy to talk to and friendly. He makes recommendations but never pressures you on what you should get and even gives you lower cost options. Highly recommend this mechanic for all of your car needs.

I have been going to Carcanix for a few years now to service my 2010 prius. Joel and his mechanics have always be kind, courteous, and trustworthy. I haven't ever hesitated going for an estimate, service, or to recommend. In fact, I recommend that you visit the guys at Carcanix now! They will treat you right and follow all the health guidelines in place, a win win!
