He had my car back up and running the next day and so far has saved me well over $700 compared to the dealer. He just did new front brakes and an Oil change today on my vehicle. My 2010 Honda Pilot with 150k miles will be in his hands anytime I need work done in the future. Not only is he a Nice and Honest person, he stands behind his work. I HIGHLY recommend him and I already have to all my co-workers. Keep up the GREAT Work Dave and look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

I don't know how I'm the first person to add/review this business on Yelp considering where and how…read moreI stumbled across Dave. I was coming out of one of the Cisco buildings in RTP and saw Dave waiting to return car keys to somebody in the building. I was in a bit of a hurry so I couldn't chat long but I asked for a card. The next day I hopped online and did what you're probably doing... research. I was surprised that I couldn't find any reviews since he has a comment section on his website and a majority are from tech people. Since I was already on Yelp I called around some of the local brake and auto shops to get an idea of what this was going to cost. I knew I needed new brakes and some rotor work because of the pulsing when braking. I then filled out the quote request form on Dave's site and was contacted later that night. His price was very competitive and considering the convenience factor I decided to give it a shot. Dave showed up around noon on the day we had agreed on and I met him in the parking lot to give him my key fob. I won't lie, it was a little unnerving giving a stranger my key but that's part of the deal. Fast forward a few hours and Dave called me to let me know that my car was done and to come down to get my key. I was expecting the price to be a little higher than what he quoted since that seems to be standard practice in this industry but it wasn't! After paying, I headed to my car and the first thing I noticed was that he put my "heat shield" window visor back up after doing my brakes. I know this has nothing to do with a brake job but it does say something about the man doing the job. I waited a week before writing this review to make sure everything was still functioning properly and I still have no complaints. Details: 2008 Infiniti G37 coupe | new brakes and turned the rotors. The brakes also have a lifetime warranty. Give Dave a call. You won't be disappointed.

WARNING...!WARNING....!WARNING! Worst mechanic ever! Not…read moreonly this guy is a crook. I went to his shop to pick up my truck and supposedly he fixed it, but when I started to drive back the truck stopped out of nowhere! It almost got me killed. When I went to check on my truck to see what happened, nothing got done! There was no spar-plug or oil change, the fuses never were replaced and an addition to that my truck almost got on fire. He was paid over $700 for his services plus I had to pay $400 to tow it back to my house. He also makes YouTube videos (that don't help at all) for publicity to make money off of the less fortunate. Please do not trust him for the sake of your vehicle and wallet!

He gave me the full range of what I could scrape by with to what he would recommend I do- and didn't apply any pressure when I opted for the scrape by option for my high mileage years old vehicle. He took the time to educate me on what was damaged and what the potential implications would be for choosing to or not to replace/repair. As it was I needed a good chunk of work done, but I was happier paying for that- and felt every dollar was well spent- than I ever have at a mechanic. From a total non-car person (get me where I need to go, and that's all I look for in a car) I felt like I got a great deal and superior service. Chads tutorial on my car and its problems/possible solutions made me confident that even if I were a car person, this was someone I could trust to do the job not only right, but well. Communication was timely and informational, and always came with with estimated costs. And the bill didn't exceed, in fact was less than, those estimated costs. For someone on a budget this was a crucial point. I'll definitely go back.

I had an issue with one of my fleet vehicles having a squeak somewhere on the front axel. He was able to not only solve it, but explain to me what he was checking and looking for.

On top of that-- he responded and set everything up in less than an hour-- in two hours the vehicle was road worthy and ready for the next rental later in the week.

I started coming to Carfix because the previous auto repair shop sold their business to Carfix. I…read moredecided to give them a chance and so far they've been reasonably priced and honest! It's easy to make an appointment and everyone is really nice there. I appreciate their feedback and never feel like they're trying to take advantage of me. I even asked about adding a hitch to my car and they referred me to Uhaul saying it would be a better price because they do that more frequently. That impressed me! The reason this review is a four star and not a five star is due to them applying a real sticker to the inside of the windshield after an oil change. Not like one of those plastic decals that is easily removed but a legit sticker with glue. I got an oil change some months back and they applied a sticker that was a real B to get off! I have all my interior windows tinted with a ceramic coating - including my windshield - so I don't want anything on my windows that could damage them. I was lucky to be able to easily get the sticker off with minimal glue residue but I handled it immediately. Had I let my car sit in the sun even for a day the glue would have adhered to the window and I would have had to use chemicals which could have damaged my tint. I had forgotten about the sticker until yesterday. I referred my best friend to Carfix and she was stoked with their great service. However, after we picked her car up she saw the sticker. I tried to help her get the sticker off but it was seared onto the window peeling in little bits leaving paper and glue and not coming off. She had to take a razor to her windshield to get it off - something I cannot do because of the tint. Ultimately, I'm not sure why they believe it's a good idea to apply a real sticker to the inside windshield when it'll sit and bake in the sun making the sticker virtually impossible to remove. It's also pretty presumptuous someone even wants a sticker applied to their car in the first place. Honestly, I always peel the oil change decals off cause I don't need to be reminded of when to get an oil change and I don't want that ugly sticker in my face when I drive. They might want to consider another option or ask if someone would want a sticker on their windshield in the first place. Other than that, they're great! So if you go for an oil change, you might want to let them know if you don't want the sticker on your window if this is a practice they're going to continue.

I recently visited Car Fix and, while the shop did provide a diagnostic with pictures and…read moreexplanations, I found the information less helpful once I looked more closely at what was actually being presented. The pictures included arrows pointing to various parts, along with recommendations and explanations, but the parts shown did not appear visibly worn or damaged in the photos. In several instances, the same type of recommendation and explanation was provided for different components without clearly showing or explaining what specifically was wrong with each part, what condition it was expected to be in, or why replacement was necessary at that time. I appreciate the effort to document the vehicle with pictures, but simply identifying a component and recommending replacement did not provide me with the level of detail I would have expected to understand whether the work was necessary. A diagnostic was provided at no charge, which I appreciated. However, I did not find the diagnostic detailed enough to fully understand or substantiate the recommendations provided. The actual service recommendations and pricing raised additional concerns. I was quoted significantly more for parts and labor than what I was able to find elsewhere, and additional parts and services were recommended that were not part of the service I originally requested and did not appear, based on the information provided, to be directly related to the issue I brought the vehicle in for. When I explained that I had found the requested service at a lower price, I was still strongly encouraged to proceed with Car Fix's recommendation because the part wouldn't be fixed correctly. I understand that a professional shop may identify additional concerns during an inspection and should bring those to a customer's attention. However, there is a difference between informing a customer of potential maintenance and strongly recommending additional work, particularly when I clearly stated what service I came in for. I provided the quote from a 2nd mechanic and was told "I cant do that. There will be parts missing". No flexibility in cost or repair work. For me, the combination of outrageously higher-than-expected pricing, additional recommendations, and the pressure to authorize services made the experience difficult to justify. I would have preferred clearer evidence showing the actual condition of each recommended part. I would encourage anyone considering Car Fix to get a detailed written estimate, ask specifically what is necessary versus recommended, and compare parts and labor pricing before authorizing additional work.
