These people are very honest. I have been there on about 4 occasions for oil changes, smog check, auto repair, and I've always been pleased.

Fast service, very professional. As soon as we were greeted we were told how much it would cost to get a smog test. We walked over to Bronx pizza and before we were done eating our car was ready.
