Luckily I'd driven by Ojai Valley Imports and heard good things through the grapevine so we had the car towed to their lot and called them upon opening the next morning to let them know our story. Carlos and his crew were super compassionate and understanding and got working on the issue right away. They were extremely communicative and figured out and resolved the issue within the hour. The cost reflected how much care they have for their customers. Now I know who to call anytime our car needs some attention! Thanks Carlos & the team!

The man said he was just finishing up a smog and could squeeze me in after. So I only ended up waiting around a few min before he saw my car, and the smog check was fast.

Instead of charging for about 2 hours time for such an easy shop task on a 2015 economy car, this cheat charged $1000. Any respectable and honest local mechanic will tell you--thats almost DOUBLE what I should expect to pay. Worst part about his con is that I was never given an estimate, only an hourly rate (an extreme rip-off of $200/hr.), and then shock billing.
