I contacted Carl several times over the course of a year and each time there were several excuses as to why the vehicle had still not been repaired. After taking him to court and several non kept promises to return either my vehicle or the money that I paid up front we have now reached the two year anniversary since I handed over possession of my vehicle. The court sentenced Mr. Carl to return my funds back as well as the car back in July 2017 and he has avoided all phones calls since this date. This has been the worst experience and I would NEVER recommend this shop. PLEASE GO ON YELP FOR TWO RECENTLY POSTED REVIEWS WITH THE SAME TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!

For State vehicle inspections I've used someone else for over twenty years, but the owner retired so I decided to try Skymart (formerly known as Raceco). First I checked to see If I could find reviews and this site is one of a few I found. The BBB site gives it and F, they did not return a call to the BBB whenit inquired about a complaint. Several, actually the majority of the reviews/ratings were very poor/low, however there are also some very positive reviews and ratings. I and noticed that many of the poor reviews seemed to involve the service manager and communication. Feeling kind of lazy and not wanting to search to hard for an Inspection Station I decided to use Skymart with caution. First I called and spoke to a the service manager, I confirmed that they were doing inspections and that I would arrive well before their 4pm cut off. I also checked to see how busy and was told they should be able to get me done pretty quickly. When I arrived I parked first and went inside to meet the manager. I asked if she was the person i had spoken with about inspections and she said she was. She told me there was one car ahead of me. She had me fill out a form and in about 20 minutes or so the mechanic came into the waiting room to collect my form. We spoke briefly about my vehicle. He told me the inspection would take about 30 minutes and then he went out and pulled my truck in. About 30 minutes later I was leaving. The service was very good. I did observe that the manager has a very abrupt way of answering questions and responding to customers. I would say that in my case establishing good communication with her and the mechanic was key to a happy conclusion. I gave them 4 out of 5 stars because there was no warm and fussy from the manager, more of a take it or leave it attitude. I can see why there are so many low ratings.

I had it towed there that morning. Saturday came around and I hadn't heard from them so I called around noon and was told that it was to be an easy repair and that someone would call me a little later and let me know a price. I never received a call and they were closed Sunday. I called Monday and was given an estimate of $800. $200 of which was the part. $600 for labor?! I told them I would take it elsewhere. I went to pick up the key and get it towed back to my house. I was told I had to pay $89.00 to get my car back. I was shocked. I asked for what because they didn't repair anything, and was told for diagnostics. I called the manager the next day to let her know how unhappy I was because I was never advised of a diagnostic fee and I never signed anything. The manager advised me that the diagnostic fee is "understood." I told her it her and her staffs job and responsibility to advise something like that beforehand. She didn't care and told me again I needed to pay $89 or I wouldn't get my car back. I reluctantly paid it because this is my only car and I have a two year old and a full time job. I walked to the car and tried to just turn it on to hear the radio and nothing happened. It then dawned on me that all the doors were unlocked. The morons at the shop apparently left the back lift gate opened and completely drained the battery. I still have yet to figure out if anything is missing from the vehicle. I will NEVER use this shop again. And I will be sure to spread the story. The shop manager has ZERO integrity. If I could give ZERO stars I would
