Please do not bring your car here. The level of back and forth I’ve went through is so disappointing. The receptionist or main mechanic guy is named Ordell. engages in negative business practices, and when I asked why my entire transmission went out after replacing the spark plugs, he got loud and accused me of lying and told me they “fix those problems” and I know nothing about cars.Mind you, I drive a 2005 Volkswagen Beetle and take care of my car to the bone- after I changed the spark plugs because I reached the mileage recommendation, I chose this spot because they let me use a coupon I received in the mail + good reviews from yelp. After I got my car, there was shaking throughout the entire vehicle. At this point I called because maintenance comes with warranty. I had no problems calling and asked if I could bring my car back. Instead of explaining to me any reason for the shaking after replacing the spark plugs, I was charged a new amount in changing the spark plug wires.I went to pick up my car and immediately after I got in my car to drive off, Ordell (the mechanic) let me the know the car was still shaking and that I needed a motor mount (a new problem I’ve never dealt with even after staying up to date with my diagnostics. I leave because I start realizing this place accepts jobs without proper knowledge of all vehicles.The next day my car still has slight shaking and while im driving, the car won’t accelerate any longer. I call and Ordell tells me over the phone that they changed the spark plugs good so I have no reason to bring it back. After getting a 2nd & 3rd opinion on the car, I was told the shop didn’t do a good job replacing them and I should have them do it again.I explained this to Ordell in person when I went to take my car back and instead of cooperating he told me I would have to pay a $95 diagnostics test. BUSINESS ETHICS. Instead of walking me through the problem and explaining options or what happens, he gets loud and tells me my car has problems and it’s not their fault. I never had these problems with my car and now these things are happening. It’s unfortunate that I dealt with a faulty business and I would advise anyone to go anywhere else. You’re better off not dealing with this place.Services: Transmission

Luxury car owners BEWARE! Scheduled a smog check and was quoted $40 but once I brought my car in person (Porsche 911), I was told the price would be $95and it would take an hour! I asked why the price difference and informed by the manager that "it's because it's a special car". Not sure what that means. They're all combustible engine vehicles....Decided not to proceed and went across the street to Pro Stop Smog Check and paid $40. And I was out in 20 minutes.

Honest service. Didn't give me the run around like other shops do for my old car (1981 BMW 320i). Takes longer to test but that is California's fault, not the shop. Gave me 2 hour estimate and called me on time when it was ready.

I gave this place one star because they were closed on the weekend, and I did not have my car smogged there. come to find out they do more than just smog... He's competitor says that he gets the price up by finding problems with your vehicle instead of trying to get it smog efficiently.

Honest smog checks with good rates. I recommend this place to anyone who mentions they need to get their car smogged.
