BEWARE ! I recently had a disappointing experience with a brake and light inspection that felt more…read morelike a money grab than a service. I went to see Pedro for an inspection, which he completed in about 10 minutes. He failed my car, claiming it needed a new axle and a few lights replaced, and charged me $200 for the inspection. He then told me I'd need to pay another $80 for a reinspection after I fixed it. Pedro even suggested that he had a friend right away that could do the repair work, which felt suspiciously like a setup. Afterward, I went to another professional for a second opinion, and they confirmed that the axle replacement was unnecessary. In fact, the vehicle should have passed the inspection without it, just repair lights with new bulbs. I feel like Pedro's service was misleading and potentially a ploy to send work to his friend. I'd caution anyone considering a brake and light inspection with him to get a second opinion before making any repairs he suggests or go somewhere else. Big lesson to learn after paying for a new axle and wheel alignment.

Yes, you heard that right. The car wash specializes in filtering out pollutants such as "engine oil, anti freeze, greaser, asbestos, rust; phosphates, and other destructive stuff" so that it doesn't go into our oceans... which can be harmful to the fish and underwater environment. I definitely recommend this car wash.
