John said they completed what he requested without him having an appointment. They did the work immediately and he was out the door in under 45 minutes. They're the best in the county for providing smog certificates.

Best place to take any car instead of expensive dealerships
Way better option than going to expensive dealerships. Get any work done here faster and cheaper. Appointments are easy and super friendly family run business. They find nails in your tire if you don’t know are there and save you from a blowout on the road . We don’t go anyplace but here.

Ian said it was easy and convenient. It wasn't the cleanest place, but they did get new couches which were very nice. He suggested they should continue to clean up the place and get a coat of paint on things, a little cosmetics would go a long way with getting customers, especially the ladies.
