** updated review January 2026** thank you Kyle and team for taking care of my little rav4! Yet again, I was impressed with the efficiency and honesty of service. My car was due for a tire alignment and I approved the cost ahead of time. then I got a call to say that when Kyle and his team went in to address it, they found it to be perfectly aligned and no need to do anything. Therefore they did not charge me anything for the service. They could have done nothing, still charged me and I would have never known. But instead they had my best interest. This place clearly operates with trust and honesty as a priority which I SO appreciate. Love this place!

I am so glad I came across Carfix in downtown Raleigh. It’s hard to find a car repair shop you can trust, especially as a woman with little knowledge on cars (I’ve been burned by other shops in the past). But I am really pleased with my experience at Carfix for multiple reasons:
1) they are easy to work with and went above and beyond during the cold / rainy week I visited them - calling an uber for me to go home and come back once services were done. I’ve never had a repair shop offer this before, and it was very appreciated.
2) they prepared a detailed report of the inspection, including photos and descriptions of any issue. This allowed me to consult with my friends and family who know more than I do about vehicles to determine which services I needed right away - all without fear of being “ripped off” since they could back up their recommendations with proof.
3) I did not feel at any point as though they were trying to get me to spend money on unnecessary services. In fact, they explained to me that I had more flexibility than I thought I did on getting my back brakes replaced. This allowed me to make smart decisions for my safety while being cognizant of my budget.
I definitely recommend this shop and am thankful to Ron and his team for the service this week.
