Joel at Carcanix is such a great guy! He's the VW guru so that's the only place I trust to take my sport wagon—which he loves and takes care of like his own. He's really smart and thorough, and has quick service. He's very accessible with both a shop phone and text numbers, and keeps in touch as he goes with the work. If something needs to be done, he will tell you. If something can wait, he will tell you—he's not going to try and up-sell you or make you spend any more than absolutely have to at the moment. Since I'm local, Joel even dropped me off and picked me up at home which was beyond nice! Can't say enough good things about this place. Honest, good work. I'll be going back in the fall for my new tires. He even helps with those if you like, stays in your budget and helps you pick what will work best for your needs. Super stuff!

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.
