Aj’s Automotive Centers

The road warrior needed to be smogged at a Star station and this was the closest place. I must have hit it at the right time because I was there no more than 30 minutes. I think the price was around $ 70.00. Don’t know if that’s competitive or not, but I was glad to be done and out of there in record time.

I will send everyone I know here for a smog check. Super quick, great managers special price, and comfy chairs to sit in while you wait. $ 21 out the door with certificate and I was done. :-)

Went to this shop for a second opinion. Not only did they identify the issue they also identified a error in a previous assessment. The first place told me my brakes were 15%, i had an intake leak (codes on dash) and the bushings were out on my exhaust. When I pulled in to the garage they immediately said there was something wrong with the catalytic converter. I told them i needed new breaks and they said they wanted to look at it first, they put it up on the rack and told me no, i still had a good 40% and i didn’t need breaks. The quote for the catalytic converter was high but they explained that there were four and if all four were out this would be the extreme – this also would be the reason for the dash codes, the intake leak ruined the catalytic converter and the rattling were pieces inside. When I picked up my truck they told me I was lucky, it was the heat shield that was rattling like a bad catalytic, they replaced that and fixed the leak. In total, the cost came out half of the estimate. they had a lot of opportunity to take advantage but were good, honest people were nice right off the bat. They were reasonable and charged me less than what they had quoted me! I waited a week before writing this review to make sure that everything was good to go. they did a good job and I’ll use them again in the future.
