Couldn't have been a better experience. Everything went perfectly from making the appointment, checking in, having the service done, finding out why this was the first time my 2007 hybrid needed a smog check, and checking out. Employees were pleasant, helpful, efficient, and professional. The place was clean. So glad to have found Furgerson's Garage.

Description of Work: I had a smog check done on a new Honda which went well and the cost was fair. The next day I took my 1995 Camry in for a smog check which they performed and it failed due to a very torn air intake hose. It absolutely needed to be replaced. The issue that I had with the garage is that they could have advised me to have the hose fixed before the test was done. The hose is the first item on a visual inspection and could be seen easily upon opening the hood. Instead they proceeded to go through the whole test when they knew that it would fail due to the torn hose. It passed everything else, including the emissions test. They wanted to charge me $180 for the hose, $45 to install it, and then pay again for the smog check. If they had told me about the hose, I would have had it fixed first and then do the smog check. I decided to check with another garage and spoke with their technician on the phone. He was terrific and advised me to locate the part and told me he would install it for me. I found the part (genuine, not cheap) at Napa for half the price that Furgersons was charging me. I bought it and took it to the other garage. The technician installed it without charging me. It took less than 5 minutes and it passed the smog test. I am disappointed that Furgerson's didn't advise me of the problem before performing the test but in the end, it's better that I went elsewhere and paid for another smog test because it ended up saving me money! The service manager wrote a response stating that they do everything they can to help a customer pass, but that was certainly not the case in my situation.

I go to a place called Fugerson's for auto service. It was a small check and I had a coupon so it was about 38 bucks. I found them to be a very clean shop. They give you a reasonable price for the check. If you make an appointment, you get in there and you are out of there so I like it a lot. I have been going there for years. The staff presented themselves very well. They were very friendly. Whatever they are doing for you, they plan it very well. They are all 'A's.
Description of Work: The last time I saw him was probably about close to a month ago. It was for the check or the inspection when you register.

For years we've had our car serviced at a nearby garage, but they charge the same price as the dealerships charge. A friend had a repair on her car at Furgerson's last year and they seemed really good, so I called for a price on upcoming service on my car and they quoted me a price that was considerably less than what I was expecting, so I had the work done there. Nice people, the car was finished earlier than promised, and saved me money! I will definitely take my car there from now on.
Description of Work: 15,000 mile service on my car.

Furgerson's Garage was very courteous, informative, and professional. Conveniently, we called and got both vehicles in on the same day. Each vehicle took approximately 40 minutes for service. We also had a coupon for the service for one car, but they were kind enough to apply it to both vehicles. We are very pleased with the great service that Furgerson's Garage provided us.
Description of Work: We had 2 cars smog tested and certified at this business.

My family and I have been taking our cars to Furgerson's Garage for about 10 years now, 95 Ford Ranger, 95 Ford Aerostar, 2000 Ford Explorer, 2009 Chevy HHR and most recently a 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Furgerson's has always been available to work on the car when needed and been able to get the work done in timely manner/ in time for the weekend, and they have been conscious of the budget i have tried to keep the cost within. While they do recommend other maintenance that has needed to be done from time to time it has always what has been needed for the car's performance or safety and never been anything secondary or cosmetic. I plan on continuing to use Furgerson's and do recommend them to anyone with either classic or modern car. Lastly, they do offer a AAA discount as well.
Description of Work: My mother bought a her first car, 1968 Firebird, new off the lot years before i was born and i have been eyeballing the car for the last 20 years wanting to get my hands on it. While the car always had regular maintenance done for the most part the last 20 years the car has sat in the garage. This last year i was finally able to get my hands it as if it were mine and have some work done that need to be done to get it back to being a weekly driver, suspension, brakes, intake manifold, Water pump, tune up etc.
