We've been expecting you.

Straight forward guy! Knocked out the work and got me on my way. Definitely will be back if I have any other issues with any vehicle I have.

I was searching for a mechanic in the Rancho Cordova area. I read the reviews for Carcanix through google and one thing I noticed was they had lengthy narratives describing the customer experience. Almost all were very positive and satisfactory. They also mentioned how impressed they were with the owner Joel. I needed a mechanic who could get my 99 Chevy Silverado truck running again. It suddenly stopped working and I had garaged it for 3 years after not being able to find the problem myself. I walked into Carcanix and talked to Joel in person. He talked to me for about 20 minutes getting a better picture of what could have potentially gone wrong. He told me that I was at the right place and as long as I would be not in a big hurry, he would be willing to tackle the job. 2 weeks later I got my truck back and it has been running like a champ. Turning out to be fuel pump went out. This is why I recommend Joel and Carcanix: He took the time to listen to my situation and was upfront at what he charged. There were no surprises of cost. He text me as they worked on my vehicle and let me know the progress. He also made sure to get my permission before proceeding with any repairs. I wasn't tried to be sold on repairs that were unnecessary. Before my vehicle rad ready to be picked up, Joel ran it until he was absolutely certain the issue had been resolved. So, In conclusion, I am convinced that I found a good mechanic that I'm not worried about getting ripped off. He cares about customer satisfaction and has professional mechanics working under him. He has my future business.

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.
