Overpriced RIP OFF!!! RIP OFF!!! RIP OFF! Do not go here for repairs OR smog!!!

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE!

My car always passes smog. In this case it did, BUT the tech decided tha there were REASONS HE COULD MAKE MONEY. So he failed it though it passed with flying colors!

He decided he was going to sell me a cat. IT DOESN'T NEED ONE. This was BEFORE doing the smog check. He kept bringing up the car might need repairs over and over. Don't trust these crooks! He spent more time pretending that he was going to smog the car than it took to do the smog check. He was tampering with the emissions systems in order to get it to fail.

I will be taking it to a reputable emissions facility not back to this THIEF, SCAMMER! BEWARE do not go here. He also spent a lot of time telling me it probably needs work BEFORE EVEN DOING THE EMISSIONS TEST!

Afterwards I found a pool of oil on the passenger floor of my car. I remember he asked me if there was smoke coming out of the exhaust (Why?). The car has NEVER emitted smoke out of the exhaust. I sincerely believe he was spending time attempting to tamper with the vehicle to insure it would fail.

I had the car in the shop the previous day for repairs. My mechanic would have NEVER left a pool of oil on the floor in my car. Previous day repairs had nothing to do with oil and this was fresh oil. If there was oil added to the intake or emissions system it would have smoked. Could it be that he didn't add enough?

I am someone who is interested in passing the smog emissions legally, but damaging my vehicle so that I spend money for UNEEDED REPAIRS? That is crossing the line. I am not done with this technician. I am someone who documents things so this matter isn't over.

BEWARE!
