My experience with Carfix on Hillsborough in Raleigh could not have gone better. The testing and repairs on my 2021 Subaru Ascent were done promptly and professionally. I needed the car a day earlier than planned and they met that goal. I highly recommend this Carfix location.

Meeting your needs and timeline is always our goal. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future!

Review of the Hillsborough St location: An honest repair shop that fixes things that need fixing and they do it well. The shop doesn't invent problems. They stand behind their work. I've recommended Carfix's services to a number of friends and family members. This is my go-to shop for a 2000 Jeep TJ and 2009 Honda Accord.
Alex W.
Great people with excellent customer service skills. Very detailed analysis and workmanship. Highly recommended…but not cheap. However, you receive value for your money.

Best shop in Raleigh!!!!

These folks were gracious, kind and went out of their way to accommodate me and quickly repair my tire while I was traveling from out of town. Hard to find service like that anymore.
Jennifer D.
Great service!! Provided details about my car problems and the estimates for each part. The car got fixed within 2 days and all fixed parts work well. I'll visit here more frequently!

I’ve only had good experiences at Carfix in Garner over the last few years! Tyson is always accommodating and communicative and Elliott (along with all the other mechanics) have always been up front and honest about any work that needs to be done.

I go only to Carfix. They take care of every type of car including European sports cars. One stop for all your needs including tires. They will stay until ‘after hours’ just to make things convenient for you. I really appreciate their service.

Tim was just outstanding. He was filling in at the West St location, however, he treated like I’d been his customer in Garner for years. He helped me by calling Audi and better understanding what was under warranty. He help me understand what services to prioritize for safety reasons vs. nice to haves. Def a Carfix fan!

It was overall a great experience!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Lisa! We're so glad Tim went above and beyond to help you. Prioritizing your safety and providing honest, helpful service is what we're all about. Welcome to the Carfix family – we look forward to serving you again with the same 5-star service!

The Carfix guys in Garner are helpful, friendly, courteous, and proficient. I plan to take my 13-year car back there in a few months for more needed repairs.

The Carfix guys made substantial repairs to my 14-year old car last week. They also replaced the sparkplugs and tuned up the engine, and replaced the transmission fluid. The car is now running the best since I bought it 16 months ago. Carl Russ
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful 5-star review, Carl! We're glad to hear your car is running its best after our team's work. We appreciate your trust and look forward to helping with future repairs!

It has been 20 years, and they they still take great care of our vehicles and all my family. I feel safer knowing they are keeping my older vehicles in top condition and for a very fair price. Their warranties, and more so their personal guarantees, mean the world to us. Thank you all at CarFix. I think there are three locations in the Raleigh area? We use the Garner location at I-40 & Hwy 42.

CarFix is the BEST and here is why. As a retired Soldier and investigator I have lived and traveled all over the country. I have owned a lot of new and used cars. One thing I have learned over the past 38 years is there are a lot of bad people out there who will not hesitate to rip you off and who do lousy work. Sometimes it takes a while to figure them out. CarFix is definitely NOT one of these places and I have been going to them for almost six years. (20 now) They are honest, reliable, quick and reasonably priced. I travel for long periods of time I can count on Mike, Brian and "all" the others the guys at CarFix to take care of my family when I’m away. Truthfully, one time in 6 years I had an issue. Mike took care of that problem and retained my confidence and business. That is why I gave them a FIVE star rating.

2024: I’m here again. Great tire selection.for my Ram, the Michelin Defender. Like having tennis shoes on my truck. Thanks Zander. Five Stars

2025: CarFix is truly an “outstanding” garage that will service all your vehicle needs. I have been coming here for 20 years now. They are more like a family than simply a business. Professionals yet friendly, experienced and trustworthy, fair prices and straight forward, free transport, and much, much more. I use the Garner location, but there are two others in the Raleigh area.
Response from the owner:Mr. Ives, thanks so much for the trust you have placed with us over the years. It really means a lot that you send your family to us while you are overseas. Thank you for your service (and thank you for the copy of your book!) - Take care! Mike Allen, Owner.

Carfix, located in Garner NC is clean and well maintained. Staff are always warm, friendly and ready to help. Each time they do a total inspection to be sure it's safe to drive and to be sure small issues don't become big costly problems. I'm always very pleased to have them service my car. 5 Stars, every time!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review, Fran! We’re thrilled to hear that you appreciate our clean shop, friendly staff, and thorough inspections.

Needed a tire fixed due to a puncture from a nail. CarFix was extremely quick, and even offered to get me a ride. Great folk doing good work.

Very courteous and business like. Got me in and out expeditiously. Informed me of recommended additional services but did not pressure me to have them done.

This location has Superb customer service each and every time I step through the door greeted with the same energy, smiles ,laughs and outstanding performance on cars. Very detailed for a woman to understand in breakdown a problem to a car( gerber). The person that locked me was Steven. He has now went to better positions but he left the store in the best of Hands. I feel secure coming to that location where the he is there or not but God knows I love to see Steven sent from the customer service Gods themselves. He is the Thor of customer service. The team at that location is the Avengers! They are all my super heroes. Keeping me moving when my business is based out of my car daily.
Response from the owner:We’re truly honored by your amazing 5-star review! It means the world to us that you feel secure and well taken care of every time you visit. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team—Steven set the bar high, and we’re proud to continue delivering that same excellent service.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Dawn! We appreciate your kind words and are always here to provide professional and helpful service. Our team will be ready to provide that same excellent service the next time you need us!

I will definitely be a returning customer! I recommend this team for their transparency, professionalism, excellent quality control and maintenance, and respectful attitudes. My technician was C.G., and my service advisor was Kit Wong.

My services included:

Full Synthetic Oil and Filter Change
Tire Rotation
Transmission Drain and Fill
Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI)
Workplace Summary:
The counters and lobby were clean and professional. The women's bathroom was functional, decorative, and well-maintained. Drinks were provided, which I greatly appreciated!

Work Attitude:
Professional, personable, and respectful. As a woman, I have occasionally been treated dismissively or quoted higher prices for the same services a man would receive at the same place—especially at dealerships. I am grateful that this was not the case here. I found the prices to be in the middle of the average price range for each service I received.

I am also thankful that they were able to accommodate me on an unexpected snow day for my job! I have three jobs, so fitting in much-needed car maintenance around my schedule can be quite difficult.

Overall Company Review:
The current co-owner of Carfix is Mike Allen. His grandfather, Louis Allen, founded a service station in 1927. The core values that the family has upheld since then were evident in my service on February 20th, 2025. I sent in my schedule and needs on February 19th, then I received a call first thing in the morning on the 20th! They didn’t need to hold my car overnight. They offered financing options and provided free rides to and from my home.

What an outstanding level of service!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed 5-star review, Evelina! We're so glad to hear that the entire team provided a transparent, professional, and accommodating experience. Your trust means everything, and we’re honored to uphold the values that have defined Carfix for generations. We look forward to serving you again!
