Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Ray was great to work with at a small business shop. He had a good attitude, stayed easy to reach, and kept things moving without a bunch of extra calls. We got clear answers when we needed them and he followed through until it was wrapped up.
Poor Service Experience - Not Recommended I cannot recommend this establishment based on my recent experience with emissions testing and repairs. Initial Visit: I brought my vehicle in for a smog test, which it failed. The technician reset the diagnostic codes and instructed me to add Seafoam to my fuel tank and drive 75-100 miles before returning. Unfortunately, the check engine light reappeared after only 20 miles of driving. Diagnosis and Repair: Upon my return, I was told to leave the vehicle for diagnosis. The shop determined that the catalytic converter needed replacement. When I asked for assurance that this repair would resolve the emissions issue, I was told there was a 99% certainty it would pass the smog test. Based on this confidence, I approved the $3,000 repair. Ongoing Issues: Disappointingly, the check engine light returned within 10 miles of leaving the shop after the completed repair. When I brought the vehicle back, the staff could not explain why the problem persisted. After leaving my car for an additional extended period (10 days total), I ultimately decided to seek service elsewhere. Overall Assessment: The lack of accurate diagnosis, failure to resolve the issue despite expensive repairs, and inability to explain the recurring problem made for an extremely frustrating experience. I would recommend exploring other automotive service options.
Said they were open for smog test, came by a few hours later to see they were closed during normal business hours. A little rain scared them away
Bought a car out of state so had to get it smogged. Capo had a fair price, no wait, cool guy. Seems like good prices for oil changes also. I recommend.
Been coming here for the past several years for various maintenance and now out of warranty work. Everything has been done at a good price, quick, and without any issues. It's one less thing to worry about when it comes to car ownership, is having a good trust worthy mechanic who's also local - big plus. Would recommend / 5 stars
