Dear Adam, I am…read morewriting to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service you provided after my car broke down on the 10 West Freeway. After the engine lost power in the extreme heat, we were fortunate to be towed to Cam Stone's Automotive Shop. I truly appreciate your honesty and professionalism in diagnosing the engine failure. You explained our options clearly without any pressure, and even went above and beyond by connecting us with another mechanic for additional information and helping us secure a rental car. It is rare to find such dedicated and honest service, and I am very grateful for how you prioritized our satisfaction during a stressful situation. We appreciate you giving us the time to consider our next steps. Best regards, Ali M.

Though the spots had mostly dried by the third day, I returned to have their work double-checked. ​The front desk first lied, claiming the leak existed prior. After "checking" for 25 minutes, they changed their story, claiming a $2,851 power steering leak was the culprit. They even insisted this was noted on my original invoice--it wasn't. Interestingly, the car isn't leaking a drop now that I'm home. Trust is gone.

Our family of four cannot thank Certified Smog and Auto Repair enough for the outstanding service…read morethey provided during what could have been a miserable travel day. We were driving home to Phoenix from Los Angeles on a very hot day when, about two hours into our trip, our vehicle's air conditioning suddenly stopped working. With my wife and our two young children (ages 8 and 6) in the car, we knew we needed help fast. AAA directed us to Certified Smog and Auto Repair based on our location, and we're incredibly glad they did. As a AAA-certified repair facility, they took us in immediately and began diagnosing the problem right away. Even better, they completed the repair the very same day, allowing us to continue our trip without an overnight delay or major disruption to our plans. A special thank you to Santiago and Pancho for their professionalism, urgency, and commitment to getting our family back on the road as quickly as possible. Their quick work made all the difference. We also greatly appreciated that they honored our AAA membership and applied a discount to the repair. Considering this was an unexpected emergency repair while traveling, the final cost was very fair and affordable. Thanks to their excellent service, my wife and kids were able to ride the rest of the way home in complete comfort instead of enduring the desert heat. We know every repair situation is different, but based on our experience, this shop absolutely earned a 5-star review from our family. Thank you again, Santiago, Pancho, and everyone at Certified Smog and Auto Repair!

I went in to replace the entire gear assembly and to check what else is maybe wrong with my car…read more The job to replace the entire gear shift was 1,200+ plus , and 7,000$ more for other work that needed to be done. It was maybe 150-200$ for just the check up what needs to be done so might as well get it done. I decided to just get the gear assembly done they had my car for 3-4 days. I mean the job was done, but this is the minor issue that I notice the first day I got it back .I can't see my gear shift when I reverse, park or put into drive at night. Usually the letters will glow red but it doesn't. I don't know if it's something they didn't notice since I noticed at night, I haven't called or anything about it bc I work full time and having it at the shop for another few days means a bunch of money spent on Uber.

EXCELLENT SERVICE-- I recently purchased a previously owned 2019 Porsche 718 Boxter convertible…read more Abe and Johanna, at Autobahn Garage were recommended to me by one of our close neighbors that owned a 911 Porsche, as well as by another neighbor. They both verified the integrity of the staff. So I brought my 718 in for an inspection, spark plug and air cabin filter service. While servicing my car, they noticed that one of my rear stabilizer bars was loose and the other was completely disconnected. So they fixed the problem for free. The total invoice for the entire service was reasonable and slightly less than they originally quoted. On my second visit for service, they thoroughly inspected the vehicle again along with replacing my drive belt, changing the oil, oil gasket and filter, along with the engine filter. I was provided the old drive belt, and shown the cracking, due to age, and they explained that the next belt change shouldn't be necessary for another 60,000 miles. They are thorough, honest and fair in their pricing. I will absolutely be a return customer. Great people! --  MARC LEUNIS

Thank you for your response. My review reflects my personal experience…read more My concern was never simply that another cooling system component eventually failed. My concern is that after replacing the coolant hose, my vehicle immediately displayed a low coolant warning when I picked it up. At a minimum, I would expect the coolant level and cooling system to be checked before a vehicle is returned to a customer. Had that been done, this issue may have been identified before I drove away. While you state I should have returned under warranty, I chose not to because I had already lost confidence in your shop based on previous experiences. I wasn't comfortable risking further damage by bringing my vehicle back. A second repair facility found that the coolant reservoir and another hose needed to be replaced, resulting in additional expense shortly after your repair. Regardless of whether you believe those failures were unrelated, my experience left me paying for multiple cooling system repairs within weeks of each other after your shop worked on the vehicle. I understand you disagree with my review, but it accurately reflects why I no longer feel comfortable using your business.
