Emissions testing service near Carlsbad, CA

I've been going here for a bit now since I moved into the area and don't plan on going anywhere else. No-pressure shop that's owned and operated by car guys who combine their passion with their work and are there to help you with whatever you throw their way.Turnaround time has always been as-quoted or sooner, prices are great, employees are super friendly (Steve is all smiles all the time), and I've always gotten great recommendations from them for things they don't specialize in. Definitely worthy of 5 stars!

We’re looking forward to a long great relationship with Aero Auto Repair for our 2 vehicles! We will definitely be back.

As a new comer to the area i was so glad to have found Autotyme. It is a dependable, punctual, honest and truly reliable place to have your Toyota and Lexus automobiles serviced. Luckily I own one of each of these brands and their care is fully entrusted to the good folks at Autotyme. I am particularly pleased with the honest assessment of the situation and the cost effective solutions offered without any attempt to upsell their services. No doubt, I highly recommend them.

So grateful - I thought it was the end for my VW Golf and had it towed to Frank. He was able to fix it quickly and inexpensively. I trust and respect him. He is a true professional and lucky to have him here in Vista.

Took our 2006 Charger in for a tune up, these guys did a great job, showed and asked me if I wanted the old or bad parts. Also the charge was very very reasonable. I will be taking all my vehicles to them as well as recommending them to friends.

The guys are California Import Auto are the best! I have lived in the area for almost 20 years and have taken my cars here the entire time. What I appreciate most is the honest advice – they tell me what my car needs and what can wait. Their work is fast and they have guaranteed everything they’ve ever done. I am so thankful for them – they’ve kept me and my vehicles going for 20 years!

Don't show up after 4:30 PM on a weekday, because the guy leaves at 4:30 PM if he doesn't have any customers by then. The hours on the sign just say 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which is a bit misleading.

My parent in laws were giving us a their old Chevy pickup and It had been sitting in there yard for years without being driven. We wanted to buy a travel trailer if we could get the truck running and in working order to pull a travel trailer. Before paying the registration and buying tires on the vehicle we took it into Grand Garage to see if it was even worth fixing up and if was even capable to even pull a travel trailer before we decided to buy one. I called them and told them that the truck had been sitting at my in laws and had not been driven in years. I told them there had been even rat damage and I wanted a thorough inspection done on the truck, and that we would be buying a travel trailer and using the truck to pull it based on their recommendation. Pat one of the associates told me that I did not need the most expensive vehicle inspection and that it was not necessary even though that the truck had been sitting there for awhile. I told him I did not mind paying for the most expensive inspection because I wanted everything gone through even the engine. After his recommendation we went with the lower inspection cost and he assured me that this inspection would catch everything wrong with the truck. After giving us a price of $6,290 and telling us that the truck would be good to go and be able to pull the trailer we wanted to buy, we then proceeded to paid for the back registration of $1,800 and buy 6 new tires on the truck , paying $1,000. We figured it would be cheaper than buying a new truck. We then went ahead and bought the travel trailer based on their recommendation. When we brought the truck home, and we went on our first local camping trip about an hour and half away from out home, and we noticed the check engine light went on and the truck was running hot and smelled like something was burning. We then took the truck back to Grand Garage and told them the issue. Pat , then told us the reason that the truck smelled hot and the engine light went one was because we had the to turn on or off the towing feature. After stating that the truck did not have that feature he then proceeded to tell us that the check engine light should not be on, and nothing else was done. Then a few days later I drove the truck to work and it broke down and the truck would not start. We then called Grand Garage again and Pat arranged to have the truck towed which we paid $140 for. Once the truck was towed back to the shop, Grand garage realized that there was a wire chewed by rats that they admittedly acknowledged that they had missed on the vehicle inspection, and the starter went out. They then proceeded to state that after we replaced the starter that the truck would be good to go. We again asked you if the engine was the problem and they proceeded to say no that this would be the last repair for awhile. We then paid another $541.48 to Grand Garage to fix the issue with the truck. After proceeding to pay for a new starter and towing the truck broke down again with our trailer and had to have it towed home with a $360 tow bill. We then took it to Grand Garage again and this time they told us that the truck needs a new engine. We have asked them several times to rectify the problem and now they have come back saying that we need a new engine and they cannot do it, even after they troubleshot the engine and told us a tune up would fix the problem they are now saying they cannot do anything. We have spent a lot of money paying for registration on the truck, buying new tires, and buying a new travel trailer based on their recommendation. We feel they have lied to us and strung us along to just get business from us knowing that the truck was probably not worth it. We have asked the owner of grand garage to call us to discuss a solution to this problem and we are still waiting for a call back. It's been almost a week and the owner will not call us back. We have even sent them an email and they have failed to reply. We are now asking the Bureau of Automotive Repair to open a case in attempt to solve this issue. AVOID THEM GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!
