A great experience from start to finish. Mike didn't over promise anything, but he definitely over delivered. Mike squeezed me in same day and had my vehicle running sooner than expected. The price was fair, and I have confidence in the repairs that were made. No pushy "salesman" tactics. Just straight business. I will use this garage in the future.

Mike troubleshoots our older car most effectively at reasonable price and schedule as promised.

The sign says "Emissions Testing Closed Permanently". They are still open for normal car repair. Thomas Dutkiewicz

Horrible experience. Went for emission test, locked my car doors and left the keys for the guy. When my turn came, the guy pulled the door without unlocking the door and broke my car handle. When I spoke to them, he mentioned that he broke it and asked me to wait until Monday to talk with the owner. When I called, the owner said bottom line “I am not paying or repairing for your handle and I am not responsible”, but his employee was responsible!

In and out emissions. Awesome service as always.

I’ve done every inspection here and it is always fast efficient and straight forward. Just bring your $20 cash and that’s it in and out in less than 15 minutes.

Their emissions service is very fast and efficient, but prices for repair work are extremely expensive. I recently brought in my girlfriend's daughter's car for an emissions test and it failed due to the check engine light being on from an evap leak. After paying $130 for an evap smoke test which indicated a leak at the fuel pump they wanted $500 to replace the fuel pump flange and o ring (deposit required before they would begin the work). The parts came to about $100, which left a labor charge of $400. Also they stated there was no guarantee that this would fix the problem since the fuel pump bolts were frozen by rust, and supposedly if they broke, the whole gas tank would then need to be replaced. I declined the service and simply pulled up the rear seat which provided access to the fuel pump through a small panel and applied a fuel resistant sealant to the fuel pump and flange, which took less than an hour and fixed the leak, and the car was then able to pass emissions. Even if i were to unbolt and remove the fuel pump, then replace the flange and o ring myself it wouldn't have taken me longer than 2 hours, so i don't understand how they came up with the extortion price for the labor.

Very expensive oil change. They used synthetic oil before giving me an option. Go here for Emissions testing only.

Went for emissions test, they were friendly, quick, and efficient. I would certainly use this place again for an emissions test and will be trying for my next auto repair. Will follow up with review then
