California Auto Repair And Smog

Very prompt and courteous
Picked me up when cars was ready

I have been going to CARS for at 11 years and they are the best. They are serious about service and make sure to discuss all aspects of the repair. They come pick up the car, deliver it, remind me when it needs servicing and continually work on improving their services.

It went okay but the car had to be there overnight due to an illness in the shop.

They gave a free inspection of items another company listed as needed repair. They did not push me to get the work done. After researching some time, I decided to have the work done. They provided a ride back to home while they were working on car, and again picked me up when work was completed. Everyone was very concerned, professional, and informational.

We had been going to one guy for a long time and we just found out that he was not really doing what he should have been doing. We then went to California Auto Repair And Smog and they've been more than satisfactory. They've been really good. They work on the internet. They emailed me everything through the internet and then I met them. Mark Martin is the service manager and he's very conscientious. The place is very clean. I guess they work on all of them. We sent my sister-in-law there and she took a car there but they said they wouldn't buy that car. She found another car, took it in there and they recommended that car so she bought it. They saved her from buying a lemon basically. They are AAA approved and ASE certified mechanics. The guy was really nice and he talked to my wife. Most people will just talk to me and ignore my wife because she doesn't understand that they say. She was the one who said we won't go to that mechanic anymore and that we'll find somebody else. I did some research and found this guy so we got lucky I guess. It appears that it's really hard to find a good mechanic and they seem like they are pretty reputable. They did well for me, my wife and my sister-in- law so far. My old mechanic said that my car needed vacuum cleaning and steering and that it would be $1200. They basically went through and said we don't need that and it was just something that was leaking. They said there's an exhaust leak in our car and they fixed some other stuff. Basically what one mechanic was going to do for $1200, they did it for a few hundred dollars and also fixed a lot of other things on the car. It still cost us eleven hundred bucks but we want to use this car for another hundred thousand miles if we can. It's got two hundred and ten thousand miles on it. It runs a lot better now and it doesn't smoke. They just tightened things up. I would have gladly paid the other mechanic to do it but he never did any of that. The guy just seems conscientious and he knows what he's doing. He's been in this business for twenty three years and then he opened this shop. We are really happy.
