I have a Toyota Corolla 1998 with 160,000 miles.
DMV requires a smog test for 2014 license renewal but it failed smog test.
I asked the Toyota Dealer for an estimate and I was told it will cost $400 dollars just to look for the problem that cause the car to fail smog.
Than I remembered I have the catalytic converter replace last year with the shop
Performance Exhaust. with a 3 year warranty.
I took my car there and talked to Jim West the owner.
Jim told me to take the car to Norm's Auto Service which was located in the same building by Jim West shop.
Norm is the owner and he's the mechanic working at his shop.
Norm told me he can find out what cause the Corolla to fail smoke test and fix it.
Norm ran some test and pinpoint down the catalytic converter or carbon built up from high mileage cars.
Norm than talked to Jim who honored the warranty and replace the defective catalytic converter.
Norm ran another test which he said everything went well.
I took the Toyota Corolla back to get a second smog test and it passed.
Norm charge was a minimal $70.00 dollars.
Norm is the most honest mechanic I have ever known.
Other mechanic places were charging $178.00 just to find the problem and who knows how much more to fix it.
I don't know much about car, and thanks to Norm, I was able to have the a lot of money from other mechanic taking advantage of a woman.
I speak from my heart when I said, if you need car repairs take it,
to Norm's Auto Service.
You will not be overcharge.
Norms take care of customer with integrity and honesty.
From now on, whenever I need car service I will take it to Norms' Auto.
