    Unfortunately my car was ready for retirement and David helped me figure out what to do from that point on.

    TL;DR - Sean is awesome. His shop is awesome. His service is awesome. Give him your money and save…read moreyourself the hassle of dealing with mechanic scumbags. Also he doesn't do the DMV stuff anymore because no one was taking advantage of it and it's too expensive at the moment/price of goods going up. So my man Sean can't justify offering it anymore. Sean's a certified badass. Went here this morning to get a smog for my car and it was about a 15 minute drive or so. I was the first and only there. Rolled into a vacant parking spot when Sean came over and asked if I here for a smog. I said "Yeah" and he asked me to park in the awning and he'd get me hooked up. I also came prepared with some Micky D's breakfast cuz ya boy was hungry. So anyway, fast forward 10 minutes and while I'm munching on my McMuffins, Sean and I are talking casually about stuff. Kitchen Nightmares is on and Gordon Ramsay is going in on some crappy chef. Sean's like "I'm pretty sure your McDonald's breakfast sandwiches taste A-1 compared to that restaurant's crap right now." In between our conversation he politely asked me to sign off and review what he was charging me for, didn't try to upsell me, sell me anything useless, or any additional fluff. He also didn't rush me out of there either. So I able to take my time and enjoy the deliciousness I had brought with me. All in all I spent about 15-20 minutes tops. The process was fast and easy. 15/10 would chat and chill with Sean again. Oh yeah and my car was fine. And I paid about $45 for the whole thing (smog check). "It seems like quality has taken a dive man, all these shops are trying to screw you out of your money. You come in for brakes, they try and sell you a tune up with it. On the shop's mission statements it should say in fine print under their BS commitment to customer service, 'We're also here to gouge and bone you out of every penny you own.' - Sean, Certified Boss, Norcal Auto Support this man, he's awesome.

    I went in for two separate items, an emissions service that popped up on my dash and some…read morerattling/noise coming from my AC compressor. The customer service, specifically from Cody, was below subpar. He was rude, came off condescending and argumentative. Jay on the other hand, he was a pleasure to deal with. Personable and professional. They initially were going to charge for the diagnostic they had ran the day I dropped off the car, where it clearly stated that it was a thermostat reading in the second page, not just the code that pops up on the first page shown in the diagnostic device. When I mentioned this, Cody stated the "college kid" does not know what he was talking about, and that the diagnostic tool only gave a code reading, despite my standing beside the technician and it clearly read the thermostat. Jay was courteous on the phone when I called after they initially texted my quote for the items asked, along with suggestions from a general inspection. He was professional and accommodating and removed the ~$270 to diagnose the thermostat reading since the diagnostic the day prior was accurate. I was charged $91.38 specifically to diagnose the issue with the noise concern coming from my ac compressor, which still persists after picking up my vehicle. I noticed it the moment i turned my car on when picking it up and let Cody know, as he was standing in the bay of the shop. They did not resolve the issue, and my car is now having a difficult time shifting from first to second gear with the AC running, with the sound increasing with the RPMs, only decreasing in noise once the shift is complete, jolting while trying to engage. It also shakes when Idling with the AC on and is emitting a funky smell along with white smoke coming from my driver side vent for about 1-2 minutes. They claim on the paper work the temperature outlet got down to 43 degrees - the air blowing now is hot with AC on. They charge an additional $237.21 to service my AC system. They did inform me that the noise could be due to early signs of compressor failure. Essentially, they charged me $237 just to add Freon and check the system for leaks, plus the $91 for a diagnostic for a man issue unresolved or identified. I would not go back here. Precision or Tedious Repairs is worth the extra cost to ensure proper and professional service. Overall, they charged me $634.07 to fix the thermostat, the ac diagnostic and ac systems service. I now have a much larger issue at hand.
