STAY AWAY - Horrible experience, seniors beware. They smog tested my car then said it's computer did not have info needed, charged me for that, and then said to come back tomorrow and they would test again for full price.

I asked to talk to the manger and instead of helping he called me a jerk.

I had to pay the bill to get my car back

Complete rip off artists!. The same as the others here. Supposed Engine light, didnt pass smog, charged me 98.00 to tell me nothing was actually wrong. Falsified documents stating that they did work that they didn't do.(ReplacedMIL Bulb) Screwed up my gauge cluster and then said that they didn't do it.

Now the light on one side of gauge wont work, they wont honor their mistake and they charged me over 179.00 for a smog and to destroy my gauge cluster! Didnt know they damaged my truck until night time when I turned on my lights. Scotty and his dad are both scam artists! Like father like son! Turning then into the state for falsifying documents to pass smog. Also turning them into the BBB... Stay away!

RIP OFF - WORST SERVICE EVER. This place is horendous!!! They do not honor their own discounts. I was todl I would receive a discount if I had them diagnose the problem, fix it, and then smog vehicle. When I went to pay for the repairs, they stated they could not give me the discount. Then, just over a month later, I had a problem with the same part they repaired. They provided no assistance in resolving this issue. I would recommend every consumer avoid this shop at all costs in order to avoid getting faulty repairs and getting ripped off!

STAY AWAY. These guys smog tested my truck and said everyting tested fine except the "check engine" light is on ($49.75). The check engine light had never been on before the test. Scotty said he would do all the repairs necessary and re test for no charge. (Sure...) I fixed the Check engine light myself and brought the truck back for another smog test. Now the ower wants another 49.75 to smog check again. Don't trust this business. I am in the process of having the Business Bureau look into this shady business and possibly small claims to recover my loss.

Highly Recommended. Scotty and his father own and run a great shop. I've been screwed over a few times with some very shady mechanics. These guys are defintely not one of them.

I go to them for EVERYTHING. They know what they're talking about, are extremely honest, work with you, and are very friendly. I recommend their business to anyone who needs anything done. Oil changes, engine swaps, etc...
