Anthony is high off Exhaust fumes , he ll tell you to keep driving and come back , drive some more and come back.Ask him what is wrong , he ll say I don t know what s wrong and I don t know how to fix it. Go elsewhere, there s several places in West Covina or Walnut or La Puente . It started to suck , after Sinclair Gas , it was better as 76 . Avoid this place !

I thought they charge 29.99 plus certificate for smog. But they added additional 4.75 for connection fees . I been doing smog check for more than 10 times already at other places and this is the first time anyone charged me a connection fees. I thought this is cheaper that's why I came to this place but ended up paying more

Stay away from this place!I have been a loyal customer for years.Doug the mechanic talk to you and tell you that he will take care of the problem.Once the car is serviced,he tell you that you need extra parts to replace in order to fix the problem.So, you keep replacing a lot of parts and labor. And the problem Never gets fix.!!!In my last visit they installed a wrong part on my car. I come over and explained the situation.Doug said that he will fix the problem.He will give you a good price on the new work order. And the price keeps going up and up. And you continue to have the old problem, plus new ones to fix .It's clear to me that; they rip off their customers. They want your money and all you gets it's Excuses.Do not trust this place to service your car! You're going to be sorry!!!!

Used to be great service, been coming here for 4 years. Went today for my yearly smog check and was told that I switched out my catalytic converter with an aftermarket. I ve never changed any such part on my car. Was then told I needed paperwork or proof of said part replacement. I explained in all the years I d been coming here never had this ever been told to me before. I was then called a liar, told me if I d been here before where was the previous years receipts and paperwork. I then provided the receipts and paperwork from years before. No apology, and worse yet still no service since I don t have paperwork for the part I never replaced. That s a great way to lose a loyal customer. I m never coming back here again, would give 0 stars if I could.

Long story short. They will try to rip you off.I've had my car for 6 years already, passed various smog tests in the previous years of ownership, not once did other smog testers mention an aftermarket catalytic converter. But at Walnut 76, they mentioned I had replaced a catalytic converter recently, fresh install, and therefore would not pass the smog test unless the original was install. Conviently, they offered to find the original part for me, and install it. I just had to pay $1200+ for the catalytic converter not including labor. Took it to another smog tester and passed with no problems of a tampered converter.

Save yourself the agony and regrets. The technicians ruined my car and they refuse to accept responsibility. The manager was very rude and is all about taking my money even after they had failed to put back the parts properly that caused my engine to completely break. I should have read the other reviews about this place. Now I need to take them to court!Services: Transmission, Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Change of ownership, Brakes, Smog certification, Oil change

Beware they will try to rip you off. I was told one price at the beginning of the repair. Then they came back at they end with almost triple the amount they had quoted me. When I asked for an explanation of why they were charging me so much they made up a story that made no sense and said if I didn't like it they would just take off the part and the fluid out of my vehicle and I can have it towed somewhere else. Really bad customer service no sense on how to treat people. Would not recommend this place total rip off.

Called to ask if they're open and if smog check is being done. The lady that answered said they were and that it was $59. I asked if there was a wait and she said no one is here. I arrive 30 minutes later and a gentleman said no smog check today. Tomorrow there will be. I mentioned that I called beforehand and he said tomorrow. Get your stories straight and tell customers the correct info.
