Carcanix

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!

Joel and his team are super patient, upfront and honest. I’ve used them twice now and I will continue to use them! They helped me find the shirt and helped me get other issues taken care of. I really appreciate you guys! Talk about under promise and over deliver! This is the place!

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.

Just great. Everyone here is super nice. All the reviews here speak the truth. I never leave reviews, but genuinely I want others to understand that this is a place to put your trust in just as I did after reading the reviews, going in, and landing on an amazing place. As someone new to cars and getting them fixed, I was really lucky to meet Joel and his crew who really gained my trust from day one with their service, kindness, humor, and honesty. My first visit, Joel generously spent over an hour explaining and walking me through all my questions big and small. And as a bonus, on both my visits so far he’s taught me so much about cars in general telling me it’s good to know these things. It’s like any young, lost car owner’s dream to have a mechanic you can rely on. He is also transparent and wants to work with his customers to get the best, desired results. I really recommend this place. If you’re on a hunt for a life-long mechanic and a shop that you can really trust as your local “go-to” - this is the place. You can really drive with pride and relief knowing you have a place to go if your car needs some help without having to worry about dealing with doubts/concerns that sometimes can often linger in the world of car fixing. I’ll be coming back for any future car needs. Can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks to Joel and his team!
