It was my first time taking my car to get a smog check, I had no idea my engine light was on as the tech said. They checked the car and noticed the check engine light was on which apparently lets you know the car's not going to pass, YET this place took my car and charged me knowing it wouldn't pass. Sad part is I can barely afford it and just got ripped off by this place. If you ask me that's very shady. NEVER GOING TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!!
I live in Texas a purchased a vehicle for my father in Texas. My father thought that this would be a good place to take his clk550 MBZ WRONG!!!!! They intially charge a diagnostic fee of $119 to identify the problem and then they called back and said they need an aditional $250 for diagnostic. Then they ""found the problem"" and charged more than the dealership would. Initially I told them what the problem was as I did a lot of research on the issue which is very common.
I have 15 years experience in the automotive industry and I have never heard of charging 2 diagnostic fees and then full price for the repair when they had to test the part they had to replace. We ended up fixing it with them but after taking to one of the gentlemen for an hour, he said this is a ""fair price"" I called the Mercedes dealership on Ventura blvd and spoke with a service advisor that told me the whole job would cost $395 with the diagnostic fee. We paid $800. Beware of these people charging twice and not showing any pride or integrity.
