10/10 job, guys. Highly recommend them and I will return.

My brakes went out just down the road from this shop.
After seeing brake fluid leak from my rear hub, I called Carfix up and spoke to Tim.

When I got the car to their shop, Tim was extremely professional he communicated expectations effectively. They even called me an Uber home.

Over the next couple days, they communicated a ton about their findings on my car, recommended repairs, sent and invoice with pictures and videos of issues, offered financing, and once things were squared away and they had a green light, fixed my car very quickly.

I am grateful for the team at Carfix. I have a daughter at NCSU (we live in Charlotte) and it is good to know I have a trustworthy vendor partner in Raleigh if my daughter's (older) car needs maintenance or has a problem. Elliot is an excellent communicator and has provided me with timely updates each time. Thank you Carfix!
Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting us with your daughter’s car, David! We’re glad the team could keep you informed and provide reliable care from afar. It means a lot to know our communication and service give you peace of mind. We look forward to helping anytime with the same 5-star service!

Response from the owner:Max, thank you for your 5-star review! We appreciate your continued support and are glad you had another great, quick experience with the Carfix team.
Max T.
Tim and the team at Carfix on Hillsborough Street went above and beyond for me today for my car repair needs. I came in for a simple free estimate, and received an in-depth diagnosis of my car's transmission issues, excellent customer service, multiple repair options at different price points, and plenty of advice. After having my car inspected and even test driven, Tim called me personally to walk me through all of the issues encountered during the inspection, explaining everything in layman's terms which helped me to understand clearly. Though I didn't decide in that moment how/when to proceed with the transmission replacement my car needed, Tim handled my case with absolutely integrity and care. Best free estimate ever, highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your 5-star review, Jane! We’re thrilled Tim and the Carfix team could provide clear guidance and honest options. We truly appreciate your recommendation and trust.

The owner John was excellent to work with! Mechanical work was great, communication was also good!!! Definitely the only place that I will be taking my vehicles.

I've been a client of Carfix for the past few years and l've always been very pleased with their service, technicians and staff. They're knowledgeable, ethical, professional and friendly but today two technicians, Cliff & Ethan, blew me away with an issue l've been having. An issue l'm sure any technician would dread and understandably so... l had a noise coming from the front of the car that was hard to describe and not always consistent. Yeah, one of those issues. Well, within 2 hours they had not only discovered what it was but resolved the issue as well. Kudos to Cliff & Ethan for an AMAZING job; I'm grateful for your expertise and sleuth skills.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5-star review, Janice! Being ethical and professional is at the core of what we do, but it’s the expertise of technicians like Cliff and Ethan that really makes the difference. We’re glad we could take a stressful situation and turn it into a quick fix for you. Thank you for your continued trust in our team!

Let me preface this by saying this place hasn’t done anything to my car yet. I was laid off and began my job at Food Lion. My car began giving me issues so I looked up the first car repair company I could find. When I came in, the front desk gentleman incredibly nice. When he asked would I like a ride home because my car would need to be in the shop for a while, I was genuinely shocked. I never expected them to do that for free. They were able to get me to knightdale, which is 30 or more minutes away. John, the owner I believe, was truly generous in his actions. He felt bad for me and it made the world for him to actually care. The man the drove me was nice as well.

Let me end by saying I’m nearly 40 and the service I received was something out of the 90s lol. In 2026, you don’t get this type of treatment and hospitality from many places. I have no idea about the price, but I believe it’ll be fair and reasonable. Their level of kindness warrants a visit if you ever need your car repaired.
Response from the owner:We are so grateful for your 5-star review, Eason! Hearing that we could provide a bit of old school hospitality in 2026 really makes our day. We know life can throw curveballs, and we’re just happy to be the team you reached out to. We’ll keep up that same level of care with your vehicle repairs. Thank you for choosing us!
Eason T.

Been here a few times and forgot to review but today is the day. I was helped by Max, an exceptionally professional and kind individual who, along with his team, ensured our van was in tip top shape. I can't express enough how much I appreciate the transparency and thouroghness that went into today's visit. Thank you again Max, you're a master of your craft!
Response from the owner:Austin, thanks for the 5-star review! We believe that transparency is the key to a great service experience, so it’s wonderful to hear that Max and the team hit the mark for you today. Ensuring your van is safe and reliable is our top priority. We look forward to seeing you again for your next service visit!

I have had nothing but good experiences at this place. They are always patient and listen thoroughly to concerns and issues. They update you every step of the way, and they are very thorough with their inspections. Their customer service is wonderful and their shuttle service is a great bonus. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5-star rating, Grace! We take a lot of pride in our inspections to ensure our customers have a full, clear picture of their vehicle's health. Providing wonderful customer service and convenient options like our ride benefit is just our way of making auto repair as stress-free as possible.

My first time here. All went smoothly enough and the repairs did not exceed original estimate. I will use car fix again.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5-star rating, Dwight! We’re glad your first visit went smoothly and that the repairs stayed within your estimate. We truly appreciate your trust and look forward to serving you again at Carfix Auto Repair!

I have been bringing my vehicles to Carfix for more than 12 years now. They have always provided good quality service throughout the years. My current service consultant, Derek was friendly and welcoming when visiting the office. The loaner vehicle system and shuttle services are very convenient and the 5 year/50,000 mile parts and labor warranty is one of the best in the business. I have recommended family, friends and co-workers to check out Carfix as well. "Thanks Guys"!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your loyalty over the past 12 years, Al! We’re thrilled Derek and the team could make each visit friendly and convenient, and that our warranty gives you peace of mind. Your recommendations and 5-star rating mean the world to us—thanks for trusting Carfix Auto Repair with your vehicles!
Al C.
I was really impressed by the professionalism and quality service that we received at Carfix.Dereck was knowledgeable about the issue and provided the best services to suit our needs.My vehicle was kept for a couple hours and the price was reasonable.Thank you Dereck ,thank you Carfix, regrettably I can only give 5 stars I wish I could give more.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your 5-star rating, Calvin! We’re thrilled to hear that the Carfix team was able to provide professional, knowledgeable, and quality service at a reasonable price. We appreciate your compliments to our team's work and look forward to helping you again when you need us!

Too bad I can’t give them 10 stars!

I noticed oil on my garage floor and panicked. I tried to make appointments at THREE of the local Hyundai Dealerships and the wait list was 2-3 weeks away. I then looked for auto repair shops in my area and when I read all the great reviews for Carfix, I hoped they could see me quickly. I was able to get an appointment the next day!

The moment Derek greeted me, I knew I was in the perfect place. He said they would first do a diagnostic test. After that was completed, he showed me exactly where in my engine there were leaks, due to worn valve cover washers and gaskets. He then showed me the photos and re-explained since I know very little about the workings of an engine.

The work was completed, the price was excellent and I found a welcoming repair shop that I will continue to use.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience, Joyce! We’re thrilled Derek and the team could get you in quickly and clearly explain the issue. It means a lot to hear the photos and detailed walk-through helped you feel confident in the repair. We look forward to keeping your Hyundai running smoothly!

I had my car taken to Carfix yesterday and I have to say I was more than relieved, satisfied and impressed with Steven and the results of what is issue actually was with my car. The amount of care that Steven operates in put me a ease and I felt my car was in the absolute best hands. I would recommend Carfix and send everyone I know to go here if they have any issues with their car. I trust Steven's word and trust him with the care of my car!!! The fact that we're both C/O '97 Warriors is a bonus!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience, Timothy! We’re so glad Steven could put you at ease and provide such thorough, trustworthy service. It means a lot that you feel confident recommending Carfix Auto Repair & Tires to friends and family. Go Warriors! We appreciate your trust in us!
Timothy M.
Always a pleasure working with this group. Been taking our SUV here for years. Prompt responses, fair prices and transparent service. Couldn’t ask for more.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your continued trust, Rick! We’re thrilled that our prompt, fair, and transparent service has made your visits a pleasure over the years.

I went to Carfix for a safety and emissions inspection, and they were very fast and helpful.

Kyle walked me through the whole inspection report and made helpful recommendations about routine maintenance for the car.

Great experience overall!
James R.
Great staff! Transparent and knowledgeable , Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place you can trust for quality work at reasonable prices . FIVE STARS!
Colleen K.
** 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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the thoughtful 5-star review, Katie! We’re thrilled to hear that the team could provide honest, efficient service and make your experience stress-free. It means a lot to hear you felt informed, respected, and safe with your RAV4 — and that the Uber, detailed reports, and transparency made a difference in your auto repair experience. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation, and we look forward to keeping your car running smoothly for years to come!

my name is Kimberly and my tire went flat while I was in the town of Franklinton, North Carolina. I was able to make it on 2% PSI to this garage where I was treated incredibly friendly promptly and received a plug and air, and the price was incredibly fair. The people working at this location were really nice and friendly and I felt safe. Thank you for saving the day.

10/10 service I was able to get in and Kyle was great help with explaining and breaking down pricing!

I had brake pads and rotors replaced and Carfix did a great job at a very reasonable price. I was very pleased with the job they did and would bring my car to them again for future repairs.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your 5-star review! We’re glad the brake replacement went smoothly and that you were happy with the price and service. We look forward to helping you with any future repairs!
