Great group of guys that work at the Hillsborough location in Raleigh. They are very professional and precise with their work and with customers. I give them a 10/10 and I will definitely do business with them again in the future. I went in for front brakes and rotors on my dodge durango and the did an amazing job. They're parts are far better than the one's I recently had from the dealership and they come with a great warranty.

I first came to the Hillsborough Street location of Car Fix for a smog check, years ago. Of course, the technician reviewed the condition of my car and observed a few things that needed attention, nothing I didn't already know and was already feeling guilty about. I authorized the work. I was impressed by the service advisor and the technician, impressed enough to come back for additional work. My Subaru is fifteen years old - for the past six years, the Car Fix team has kept my car in good condition. At the dealership, I felt taken for granted and did not enjoy their up-selling. When I am at Car Fix, I feel listened to. The service advisors and the technicians take the time to explain. My car runs great and I feel like a valued customer.
Response from the owner:Six years of keeping your 15-year-old Subaru running great is a major milestone! We love that our Hillsborough Street team could turn a checklist into a trusting relationship, Cecilie. You should never feel taken for granted or pressured into up-sells. Taking the time to listen and explain is exactly how we ensure you feel valued. Thank you for the 5-star rating—we look forward to keeping your Subaru on the road for many more years to come!

John was very helpful in getting my vehicle serviced. He is friendly and efficient. Got me checked in and on my way quickly. He called to let me know I needed new wipers and the vehicle was ready when promised. I think this is my 17 year using their service. Never been disappointed.
Response from the owner:Seventeen years of loyalty with absolutely zero disappointments is an incredible honor, Tom! John will be thrilled to hear his friendly, efficient service and quick communication made your visit a seamless 5-star experience. Thank you for continuing to trust us with your vehicle for nearly two decades. We look forward to many more miles to come!

Tim is the friendliest and most knowledgeable car guy I’ve been around!! He’s incredibly helpful and CarFix Tire and Auto as a whole does incredible work. I continue to come back again and again for about 4-5 years now and they impress me more and more with their speed, efficiency, and customer service every time.
Response from the owner:Tim is a total rockstar, and he will be thrilled to hear this! We love having you as a loyal customer over the last 4–5 years, Josh, and we really appreciate the trust we've built up with you over the past half decade. Thank you for the 5-star review, and we look forward to keeping you safe on the road for many more miles to come!

I cannot say enough positive things about Carfix. My son and I have worked with them on a couple of occasions regarding repairs to his truck. My wife and I live outside the area and it can be stressful if you have kids who are away at school and encounter vehicle issues. The folks at Carfix, first Elliott and now Tim, have been so great!! They send pictures, thoroughly explain the issues, and seem very fair with their pricing and recommendations. For parents in particular, who are looking for a place that is reliable and trustworthy to help with out-of-town car service, look no further than Carfix!
Response from the owner:We know how stressful it is to manage car trouble from afar, so hearing we could provide that peace of mind for you and your son means the world to us, Timothy. Elliott and Tim will be so happy to hear your 5-star review for their work! Thank you for trusting Carfix to keep your son's truck safe, and for recommending us to other parents. We are always here to help!

Great place! The staff here are kind and respectful. Tim and Dave helped replace my engine mount and struts with no issue.
Response from the owner:Replacing engine mounts and struts is no small task, so we are glad to hear our team got the job done smoothly and without issue. Treating our guests with kindness and respect is a top priority for us, and it is wonderful to know we hit the mark.

Carfix is my go-to place. I used to go to the dealership. After a full check-up over a year ago, things went wrong the following week which didn't feel right. Then I found Carfix. They have helped me a number of times since I abandoned the dealership. They could not be better. Everyone is so kind. Service is incredibly efficient. Prices are very fair. I always feel well cared for. THEY ARE THE VERY BEST. Thank you thank you thank you all of you!!!

Carfix is an Excellent shop! John has been incredible, the work has been excellent. I have fully become a repeat customer (tho I hope I don’t have to see them That often- no offense lol!). I don’t have another vehicle and they have been able to fit me in and get me back on the road quickly with exceptional work at an excellent price. That is including an electrical repair others had turned me away unable to fix, Carfix got it done. Everyone is always so professional and nice that I encounter, as a female I appreciate more than you know! I can’t recommend enough.

I have been using Carfix at Garner for about 16 years and they are the best. They never try to oversell services. They will let you know what service is appropriate. Dave, John and Kyle assisted me with my recent inspection and service. All three were professional and knowledgeable. The customer area is neat and clean. This shows they take pride in their work environment.
Response from the owner:Sixteen years of loyalty is incredible, Tom! Dave, John, and Kyle will be thrilled by your 5-star shout-out. We pride ourselves on clean spaces and honest, pressure-free service. Thank you for being a part of the Carfix family for nearly two decades!

Richard did an excellent job repairing my vehicle. He is also very helpful with any questions I asked. He got my vehicle back to me quicker than planned. Would highly recommend taking to the garner location.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the high recommendation and 5-star review, Richard! We're glad to hear the quick turnarounds, helpful answers, and excellent repair work stood out to you. We love keeping our Garner customers moving ahead of schedule. Drive safely!
Richard S.
Great service great team Derrick John and Steve from the Raleigh location were exceptional with communication and making sure I was taken care of.
Response from the owner:We love hearing that, Jossy! Derrick, John, and Steve will be so proud to hear that you noticed their dedication to their work. Clear communication and 5-star care are exactly what our team in Raleigh strives for, and our Garner location is no different! Thank you for your business, and see you next time!

Everyone at Carfix was professional and polite. They listened to my concerns and worked with me to use coupons and discount. One issue was having an appointment for 1:00 but car not being seen until almost 5 requiring it to held overnight. I expected to wait but not 4 hrs for an evaluation of A/C. I was told they were busy, then what is the value of a scheduled time. Also they do quality work however it is expensive, on the top end of normal range.
Response from the owner:Mark, we really appreciate your 5-star review on the affordable and thorough AC repair service. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you next time!

I've taken my car to Carfix three times now, and I have been nothing but thrilled with their service, their professionalism and their customer service. Most recently, we had the car towed there after it refused to shift out of second gear. Fearing the worst, we waited to hear from them. Rather than the entire transmission, it was a solenoid that had given out. We were quote just shy of $800 and approved the repair. In a best-possible-case scenario, the final bill was just shy of $600. They found that they didn't have to replace the wiring harness but could just repair the existing one, which saved us 25%.

I trust these guys with our car, no matter what the scenario.
Response from the owner:We're so grateful for your three visits and 5-star rating, Jenni! We know how terrifying a transmission issue feels, so we're thrilled it was just a solenoid—and that our team could save you 25% by repairing the harness instead of replacing it. Honest, money-saving service is what we strive for. Thank you, and we look forward to helping you again when you need us!
Jenni F.
Great customer service, fast maintenance service, and fair pricing. They explained everything clearly and got my vehicle taken care of quickly. I’ll definitely be back.
Response from the owner:Fast maintenance, fair pricing, and clear communication—that is exactly what we aim for! We're glad to hear everything went smoothly and quickly during your visit. Thank you so much for the 5-star feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back next time, Roxanne!

John and Derick are amazing! All the guys in the shop are too! The level of attention and the feel of a personal connection really brought the whole experience together. Thanks to John’s help, I got brakes, a full synthetic oil change, and an engine air filter for an affordable price. 20 out of 10- would recommend!
Response from the owner:John and Derick are going to love this! We always strive for that personal connection, so hearing that you felt so well taken care of means everything to us, Blair. Thank you for the 20 out of 10 recommendation and the 5-star review. Safe driving, and we look forward to welcoming you back when you need us!

Made an appointment for car inspection. The people working at the front desk were friendly and the inspection was done quickly. The option to be driven home during inspection was offered.

Worked with Kyle, super helpful and informative guy. This is one of the only auto shops that does not diagnose/do work without being 100% sure of the issue, so they saved me thousands of bucks. Will definitely be going back.
Response from the owner:Kyle is a great example of our commitment to accuracy over guesswork. We know how frustrating it is when shops guess on your dime, so we make it a priority to be 100% sure before we turn a wrench. Saving you thousands of dollars is a huge win, and we’re so glad we could earn your trust, Thomas. We look forward to seeing you again—thanks for the 5-star rating!

Stadd was pleasant and explained my car's issues clearly.
Response from the owner:We believe that clear communication is just as important as the repair itself. Keeping things pleasant and making sure you fully understand what's going on with your car is exactly what we strive for.

First time going there. So glad I found the place. Compared to where I was taking my car to, this place is better! They called me an Uber to get home at their expense. Very impressive. They even noticed my front tire was bad, the other place I went to didn't tell me. I felt really looked out for at Carfix Auto. Thanks guys for looking out for me.
Response from the owner:We’re so glad your first experience at Carfix Auto Repair was a 5-star one, Andrea! Providing a complimentary ride home is one of the ways we try to make auto service as convenient as possible. Safety is always our top priority, so we’re happy our team caught that tire issue before it became a bigger problem. Thank you for trusting us to look out for you and your vehicle—we look forward to seeing you again!

Always helpful and friendly. I have a 2013 Hyundai and appreciate how they look at everything and then talk about what is needed. Was able to get the repairs done before the weekend and car runs smoother now.

CarFix on West Street in Raleigh, NC puts quality service and customer satisfaction as their highest priorities. I'm a newer customer but had referrals from two or three friends who are happy with the service and kindness they have received there. You may wish to give them a try.

Best oil change price in Raleigh! My wife and I are extremely satisfied with Carfix Auto Repair. We have an extended warranty on our personal vehicle but didn't have to call and ask whats covered and whats not since Carfix took care of it. Our specialist, Elliot was extremely knowledgeable and informative. I appreciated that he took photos of any issues that need to be addressed, provided a quick educational video explaining what the part is and how its affecting the vehicle and drive, then took time to answer all questions we had. Great experience. Highly recommend
Response from the owner:We appreciate your recommendation and 5-star review, Zuhare! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Elliot. Providing visual documentation and clear explanations is a standard part of our commitment to transparency. We are also glad we could streamline the extended warranty process for you. Thank you for choosing Carfix Auto Repair for your automotive needs.
