    Found out I needed a smog to get my license. I came in and was taken care of right away. My car gets serviced at the Honda dealer off of mission gorge. I get free oil changes for the life of the car.

    Well, I had to get a smog check and I asked if they were available the day after Christmas. They took me in at 8 o’clock right away without an even having an appointment. They were accommodating and professional. They ended up changing out my six-year-old battery, which was really needed and did an oil change and they were very proactive and even ordered a Delco battery for my subaru, for they did not want me to be disappointed. Thanks guys I’ll be back.

    Called about the smog coupon and spoke to Vic I think? Started making up charges for "European cars" which the coupon mentioned nothing about (see below) though it did mention an extra fee for trucks, SUV's, and Vans and of course the $8.25 cert fee. Ridiculous AI response. Thanks for reinforcing what I already knew. If you don't want to honor that price, then don't advertise it. Don't make up fees because the charge is too low. If the cost were simply advertised as $5 more, we'd have no problem paying it. However, I try to avoid dishonest shops as it usually leads to more problems.
