I told him I already had and he said just drive it some more and come back. But this time, we'll charge you 40 instead of 50. So I left, went to autozone, told them the same thing I told these people at this shop and the autozone guy told me that the battery was most likely done and wouldn't work if I drove it more, especially since I had already done that the day before. Guess what, he was right. This company was just trying to make a fool out of me and rob me out of 40 bucks to then tell me that I need a new battery. Would not recommend a place who tries to cheat their customers. Literally chose to go to this place to support la raza, pero es la misma raza trying to make a fool out of you. What a joke of a place.

Easy to find, but if you arrive early, parking could be a challenge. There has always been parking available, but it is tight getting in and out. Aside from the parking, today's service was OUTSTANDING! The Technician processed my paperwork, took my keys and by the time I finished reading all the signage, my SUV was done! I am a slow reader, but we are talking about 10-15 minutes. The tech was polite, professional, informative and confident about what he was doing. There is a $10 coupon on their website, show them a copy when you first check in. If your service is as good as mine has consistently been, I recommend tipping the tech the $10 you saved from the coupon! I'm very pleased and highly recommend this location.

The gentleman who helped me, who I assumed was the owner, was very friendly and it was fairly obvious that he took pride in his business and providing the best service. I will come back here for my next smog check and will recommend them to anyone that's in the area.

I called an old friend to ask what to do, because I don't know much about cars and I wasn't sure whether I was getting ripped off, and he said "hold on, I know a pep boys manager near you. Can you get it towed 20 miles?" A manager at this location named (spelling?) Beto took care of me. What the other place worked me on for almost $1500 Beto told me should have cost about $120, and then he re-did it for $80. Then he let me leave it at the shop for a couple of days because it interacted really badly with a work trip I needed to take. My experience at this location was stellar. This was a couple months ago. Sorry I took so long to keep my promise, Beto. I'm dumb and I forgot.

Here's a polished version you can use as a review:…read more Thank you so much to the owner, Ashley, Robbie, the Lead Sales Advisor, and Brian, the Auto Technician, for the tremendous help this afternoon! It truly felt like a miracle to get my car inspected the same day and secure the last appointment of the day. I was so anxious and worried after scraping the underside of my car, fearing it would end up being a very expensive repair. Everyone was kind, professional, and reassuring throughout the entire process. I especially appreciate your generosity in securing part of my car with zip ties at no charge, even though I wanted to pay for the diagnostic. That level of honesty and customer care is hard to find these days. Thank you again for your outstanding service. I will definitely be recommending your shop to my friends and family!

Learn how to upsell…read more Look - I'm standing up for the consumer. The price of gas has doubled. It's logical that people may try to fill their tank paying with a $100 bill. My tank is 13 gallons. This place was charging $6.26 for the lowest level octane. $6.29 (my tank was about empty) X 13 gallon tank = $81.77 At that price - "no change for $100, or can't break that" goes out the window. Just suggest that I spend the entire hundred. I even asked to buy a Red Bull. If you don't have that much change - fine. Just upsell, use your mouth, and say, "Buy such and such to round it out." That's it! I was not going to do the gas station attendant's job. If this individual is so gone that they can't upsell and (dare I say it) be a gas station attendant - maybe they should be working at Legoland California. Be a gas station attendant. Actually care about your job. I can tell that the people working here keep their jobs out of nepotism. Taco Bell will suggest that you just spend the whole bill, a gas station charging an arm and a leg for gas won't upsell and the gas station attendant is too lazy to suggest that you round out the bill - hilarious. - Had to make an edit, because I am disgusted by the bad service. I couldn't use my debit card, it was an emergency so I went here. Instead of a transaction taking place, I could have just spent the whole $100, the gas station attendant acted like the only thing they could do was let me down completely and have me drive off with an empty tank!
