    This is the place you want to go to Smog your car!

    This used to be Old Town Smog, but that closed down and now it has a new owner and is called "Aiden's Smog Check". Richard is the owner and is very knowledgeable about the CA laws on all cars, as other places I have been to were not aware on new laws for high end cars. Richard took the time to explain them to me and I learned allot from him and I had a very good experience when getting my car smogged. I will definitely be coming back here anytime I need to smog my car and I highly recommend him to anyone that not only wants to get their car smogged, but to have a very professional person like Richard doing it.

    Dan has always treated me fair. He is knowledgeable, very experienced, and often talks me out of…read moredoing what I requested, because he knows it would be a waste of money. He can diagnose the problem and give me all the options. This may sound strange, but I actually enjoy paying him. And I'm a tight wad! It will be a sad day when he fully retires.

    I went in for my regularly scheduled oil change. I was not having any issues with my vehicle prior…read moreto leaving it here with Dan. After I picked my car up, I drove for 32 miles before I went over the hill to Santa Cruz. Once I was over the hill, my check engine light came on as well as my oil light. My oil indicator light has never come on since I bought this car new in 2016. There was not a drop of oil in my engine. I had to add almost 4 quarts to fill it up. Needless to say when I went in for an oil change, they forgot to put the oil back in. I called in immediately from Santa Cruz to let him know that my light came on and he automatically suggested that maybe I had a leak somewhere. I double triple checked everywhere under my car and there were no leaks not a single drop of oil leaking from my engine... when I got back into town, I immediately took my car back down to Payless to talk to Dan, and he still denied any wrongdoing insisting that I have an oil leak and that is where all the oil went had to keep an eye on it. Since then I have drove over 1500 miles and still not single drop of oil from my engine. I have offered him multiple opportunities to make this right by doing another oil change and a compression check on my engine to make sure that there was no damage done. I have received no response from him in any effort to make this right. I hate to leave a negative review because I actually really like Dan, but as a business owner myself, you have to be accountable for your mistakes. Had he just admitted that somehow it was overlooked and apologized, I would've gladly accepted and moved on. Unfortunately, now I need to worry about any damage that was done to my engine while it had no oil in it.
