  Friendly and trustworthy shop! I called Car Fix this morning for a last-minute brake job, and Ri was so friendly, honest, and eager to help. He was transparent about the price as well as informative to the fact that my brakes would not have a warranty since I bought the pads/rotors myself. Really appreciated that! They got my car in right away — I dropped it off around 10:30 and had it back before 2! The price was fair, the service was amazing, and I felt really well taken care of. My brakes feel great, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Car Fix to everyone I know!

  Jim Peters has been my mechanic for 25 years. I met him when he worked for Hilltop Service Station- where he worked on my 20 year old Toyota corolla and for the past 15 years he alone has maintained my Toyota RAV4. He is honest, reasonably priced; tells me when a service is needed and helps me plan for it and he has often told me nothing needed to be done when he could have made a sale of unneeded service. I will always recommend Jim to anyone who would wants a highly skilled and ethical mechanic .

  Although Its’ sad too see that long no longer works here, here’s my experience and honest opinion with the new management. RI and Jim are nice people that show respect to their customers and respect other people’s vehicles while working on them. RI offered me courtesy repairs like switching my battery out, installing clips to my bumper insuring safe drives and many more for free. He gives out a good reputation for the business, the customer care and the respect he gives out to everyone. Jim has good customer service and insures everyone that their cars are in good hands especially telling me what I need next and how well he did changing out my tensioner and my serpentine belt. All though I can’t expect everything to be the same, the things that I noticed that did change is pricing. All though the prices may vary and they’re not wallet breaking, it is an impact for others. I feel like people are kinda frustrated about the new price changes because long gave more affordable prices back then. But we do got to understand it is a business where people need to be paid especially from all the different workers operating the shop. For my comment for management i think there should be better communication with their staff and the people about deciding prices especially when bringing parts in. I was told I would pay 90$ an hour since I brought my parts in which was not too bad, but when I got spoke with by a different person they made pay a fixed rate insuring me it’ll take 2-3 hours to do the job. After getting receipt and also looking at the time. The job took less than an hour and it is also printed on the receipt on how long they took with my car. Although it was 260$ which was like 3 hours of work I had to pay. I feel like there was poor communication on my end and would rather pay the 90$ an hour. But I’ll keep new customers updated with more information. But everything else they were great people and I will be coming back again!!

  My initial perception was of a reputable and straightforward car repair shop. RI appeared friendly and welcoming; we engaged in conversation about my automobile. He assured me, "I promise you, I'll offer you a fair price." Consequently, I permitted them to perform a diagnostic on my car. Upon collecting my car today, the total bill came to $1,300 and some change. I inquired with RI to confirm if this was the final price he could offer. He responded by directing me to speak with Jim about the discount. Initially, I assumed RI was my point of contact and hence walked away as he returned to his work area. The bill showed a diagnostic fee of $150.00. I questioned Jim, considering I was under the impression the fee was only $75.00. He questioned, "Who told you that?" To which I replied, "RI. Why don't you consult with him?" Subsequently, he offered, "Okay, I'll apply the good guy discount." After settling the payment, I courteously bid farewell. My grievance lies with the lack of clear communication and the promise of a significant discount. It was necessary for me to explicitly inquire about the $150.00 charge after being initially told it would be $75.00. Paying the amount is not the issue; I seek transparency with their clientele. Thank you.
