Emissions testing service near Rio Vista, CA

I took my car here for what turned out to be a simple, small electrical issue. Instead, Carlos told me I needed a fuel injection flush - one of those things they upsell you too when you go to an oil change place. Only this one cost over $300! Carlos assured me that the problem was resolved. I ended up stranded at the side of a freeway two miles away. I had to get the car towed at a cost of over $150! The solution was easy, took 10 minutes, and cost me nothing at the place I towed it to. When I called Carlos to tell him I was stranded at the side of the freeway because of his poor workmanship, his attitude was dismissive, condescending, and unhelpful. He proceeded to tell me that he doesn't guarantee that his workmanship will fix the problem. Really? Imagine if your doctor treated you that way. Basically, he took my money and did nothing. I get the feeling that this place once was a good shop, but someone got greedy and dishonest. To be certain, Carlos is a good talker. He seems sincere and knowledgeable. But the emphasis here is on SEEMS.

Paul's shop has been my repair destination for over 20 years. He is honest. The number one aspect of his business. He does work in a timely, but efficient, manner. I will recommend Paul as long as I live and he is fair with his labor costs and prices. If you need work accomplished, go see Paul.

place is a joke, no competent mechanics----they don't know anything about high end cars.

Dear Joe I am the business owner not him. I've been in business many years and I'm sorry that you had a disappointing experience. That person is no longer employed at the shop. If you get a chance please stop by the shop and ask for the owners number and I will try to do my best to change your opinion about Platinum Smog. I only want satisfied and happy customers. I am not a dishonest person nor do I want my shop to reflect dishonest workers and I'm thankful for your post.
