Auto inspection service near Highland, CA

this business is a giant scam. they live and feed off people failing smog tests for no real reason. hard working people come here to have their cars tested by an honest business and get shafted with bull crap excuses and misinformation. im angry cause my car failed smog twice and as business owners these guys should except people to be angry when hard earned money is being flushed down the toilet. the first time it failed was because my car battery had died and apparently the car cpu resets its monitor checks so even tho my car passed smog with flying colors since the computer hadnt done its own monitor checks they failed it. this second time i bought a code tester to see when all the monitors were ready to go which they were when i showed up. i thought all was gona go well until the young smog technician who cant explain his way out of a paper bag tells me my car failed due to a vacuum leak. having failed smog before i asked him did the car fail smog or did it fail because of a vacuum leak. thats when these weasels start to work their magic and all they see is a big fat $$$ on hard working peoples faces. he starts to tell me it failed because of the vacuum leak then he says theres a cracked vacuum hose if i wana take a look at it... he told me there was some tape on the hose and he removed it and saw there was a crack on the boot of the hose. i was angry he even removed the tape. i thought this was a visual inspection not a remove anything you see from my car and do what you want. he didnt even ask me if he could go into my engine and star removing things from it. granted it was just tape the state laws say VISUAL inspection. im not sure if these guys are thieves or if they participate in unlawful activity to make sure people dont pass smog. on what planet does visual inspection mean start pulling tape and componets from my car ? the owner walked in and hes just a big an idiot as his technician . using word manipulation and scare tactics to get people to pay for their crooked thieving practices. they make so much money from failing people its not even funny and they know this. just before my car was smogged a gentleman had also failed because he was not aware you had to drive your car an X amount of files to reset your car monitors or regardless if your car passes the actual smog portion of the test they will fail it.. these guys are very unprofessional and its obvious they live to rip people off. yes i was angry for my car failing but what made it worse was these guys obvious scam tactics and manipulation . visual does not mean start fooling around in my car removing things you should of asked me before you did. i will never go back again and i hope no one else does either. you have been warned.

Awesome place. Honest and loyal to do a good job the first time around. Not like other shops

Roger and his staff were excellent. Gave me a great price on a tire and did an amazing job! Definitely recommend this place to those looking for great customer service and prices. Luis Saldana

Overpriced with a "can't tell me sh*t" attitude. Maybe their great on old cars but as for my wife's 2010 Challenger they caused more issues then fixed and charged me 1/3 more then anywhere else to do it. Brought my car in for springs, struts, alignment and to go through and make sure everything was right. Did a motor swap and the shop before didn't tighten the lock nuts on my adjustable suspension so wanted it all gone over. Guy was mouthy from the start and bitched about the job the whole time. My front ball joints we're missing a lock plate (found out later), really obvious but they didn't say anything and put it back together anyway. Also missed my rear craddle bushings went bad even after bringing it back to them. This is a huge issue and made the car unsafe to drive, they said it was all good though. I call back and kind of question their knowledge since these basic and obvious issues were missed to which I was hung up on. My advice, find another shop and save yourself the agony.

Always warm and friendly, excellent service. Like the new outside seating area, for waiting if necessary.

I arrived and asked if they could SMOG my truck and it was done quickly and efficiently. Going to bring it back to have it serviced on a regular basis. James Pinmental

Absolute best experience I've ever had at an auto shop.Terry was extremely friendly and most importantly: honest. I will take any business I have in the future to his shop.I recommend it a thousand times. Whether you're 5 miles, 20 miles or 50 miles away I suggest you take the trip and get your car serviced here.

I have been doing business with ABD and everytime it is a pleasure to know that my car is always well taken care of. Adrian is very knowledgable when it comes to parts and cars. He goes above and beyond for his customers. Thanks again guys great work.

We used to have a family friend fix all of our vehicles but when he moved out of state his brother didn't do much for us. So we started to see Paul at American Tire Depot on Magnolia and he and his team really took great care of our vehicles. Thankfully Paul just recently came back here and I don't think I would ever take a car anywhere else. Chris Zmolek

NO NOT USE WOODCREST AUTO. Dropped 2004 Dodge Dakota with clicking noise. After $250 in labor just to diagnose it they said it was a guide to the timing chain. Here comes the scam! So a timing chain now turns out I need to replace three, I found a kit with everything I need for $400 but they of course broke it up individually and charged accordingly. The three chains from them was $448 which after doing research I didn't need to replace chains but they made me think I did. It was a bad guide which came in a kit but they charges me 3 individual guides even though only one was bad, another $200. Recommended replacing the oil pump that didn't need replacement for $250 which the most expensive I found was $139. They said I needed valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, oil, coolant, etc. What I thought mentioned over the phone was $1100-$1200 was $2200+ so over $1000 profit! The same name used in positive feedback (Marc) is 100% staged! 100% scam artists! Could have bought a new engine for that amount!

The worst experience I've ever had getting my truck smogged he told me I failed because my battery had been disconnected 2 days prior to getting my truck smogged. Instead of telling me ahead of time that I had a problem, he ran the truck knowing it was going to fail smog . The smog shop across the street told me if I would have brought it over to them they would have warned me about the problem before they would have smog the truck, therefore not letting it fail smog. Very unfriendly shop I highly recommend that you do not go here they will scam you if they get the chance.

I'm tow truck driver and this is the only place I recommend to any of my members the employees are great and with that you get great service Tamara Garvey

Horrible just horrible! They insisted I make an appointment. I dropped the car off knowing what needed to be done on my car. Three hours later I call and ask what time it would be done. They say they were going to be calling, they hadn't done what I asked them to do. They had found more codes along with I already knew needed to be done. I end up having to pick the car up the next day because of their ridiculous prices to fix the new item they found. Paid $85 for them to not do the work I agreed upon, and for them to tell me other codes were popping up. Don't think about arguing with them, when I did they refused to take my debit card and made me go get cash in order to pick up my car. I would never recommend these people! They might be cheap to beginning with but definitely not in the end. They turned out to be a huge waste of my time and money!
