My car just wasn't running right and then the engine service light came on and started blinking. The dealership said it was several things including the catalytic converters. The estimate was more than my 10 year old car was worth! Mr. Dantzler worked with me to fix just what was necessary to keep my car safe and legal. He set up a plan for me to pay the balance when my tax refund came through. Now my car runs like new for just over half of what the dealer wanted. I really trust this shop.

Should be called Smog Negative. Owner is rude and acted like he didn't want my smog business. He asked me to come back 2 different times. Don't go here. Use City Smog instead!

Excellent service. Fast. No schemes !
