"This place is a joke and a scam. They charged my wife $250 without an upfront quote and failed me for having LED replacements.. DO NOT GO HERE!! EVERYONE ELSE IS UNDER $100 THESE GUYS ARE A SCAM....."

"I really should have read the reviews before I went to this place. Definitely ripped off. We needed to get a light and brake check in order to get our vehicle inspected for a salvage title registration. I had called around other places and the going price was just under $90. Everyone was too busy and we were desperate to get our car taken care of. When I called here he had openings but I didn't think to ask what the cost was because the going price for this service is under $90. When we were done he told us there were 13 lights out. Our car doesn't even have 13 lights. He charged us $250, then he told us if he wanted us to change the light bulbs out that would cost another $898. Our car only has seven. Told us we could get it rechecked within 30 days for another $150, why would we go back there when everyone else charges $87. Please do not waste your time. Wish I saw all the posts on here, any good ones are definite lies. I would consider him a scammer for sure. He's the kind of person that gives mechanics bad names."

"Made the mistake of not reading reviews prior to taking my car in. The guys working here are dishonest. Was told twice that I wouldn’t be charged a re-inspection fee if I had them do the work in-shop then proceeded to be charged $195 for re-inspection after (which they didn’t even do since I watched them install my lights then call it good). Lesson learned!"

"These people are crooks. Tell you one price on the phone and the way over charge for a brake and light inspection for a new 2022 vehicle in perfect condition for $295 and a smog check that says right on there board for $59 they charged 129.95. 2500 Chevy pickup. Either don’t go to them and or take a picture of what you sign beforehand so they can not pull a fast one on you"

"Went in for a salvage vehicle inspection. They charge $150 which is on the high side. They had to adjust the headlight and replace a couple bulbs. With the “diagnostic charge” and the hour worth of total time they charged me $485. So do not go here! This is robbery and I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and CA Dept of Automotive Repair."
