Owner did quick work. Smog check was much less than where I used to go. Everything went well. He called me when the work was done, so I could run errands in the local area. read more

Great service and fast. Called just before 5:30 pm on a Friday for a last minute smog check so I could sell my car the next morning. Was squeezed in and out the door before 6. Even got a great deal despite my last minute call. Thanks for helping me close the deal! read more

I was told by the surrounding car shops in the area who don't perform smog checks to go to CarTech in Lafayette and I was NOT disappointed! I just drove up without an appointment, received very friendly service, it was efficient and affordable. I will definitely be getting my smog checks here from now on. He also does repairs and oil changes. This will be my first stop from now on. read more

I've been to CarTech three times with flat tires -- wait, make that four. One was for my bike! Goodwin is Always helpful and gets the work done asap. I won't hesitate to go there if something more serious happens to our cars. read more

I found Goodwin thanks to his good reviews on Yelp, after I was required to do a STAR smog check. I called and he got my in the same day for my subaru. He stated that it would take 45 minutes, and I waited MAYBE 30 minutes. Goodwin even gave me a deal because I checked in on yelp. He was professional and helpful, with great service at a great price. I'll definitely be back. read more

Goodwin was so friendly! Thank you for the smog check and I will be back for more car services in the future!

I needed a smog check, and I called this location, I got a voicemail , but did not leave a message imagining it would take too long to get my answer. I hung up, and even though I left not message, I received a call back a few minutes later, which was very nice to know they care about the customers and are interested to know the reason for their call. I arrived there and Goodwin took care of my car with great professionalism and great personality. I will definitely go back for all my car needs thanks to the excellent customer care an service I received from Goodwin. read more

If my car broke down anywhere in NoCal, I would have it towed to Goodwin before I let anyone else touch it. My car is a 1999, but has low miles on it. It can't be treated properly by formula - it needs someone who knows what they are actually looking at. Goodwin is that person. He is honest and knowledgeable and I continue to recommend him without hesitation. read more

Made an appointment a few days ago for 2pm Sat for my son's Jeep. Appointment confirmed by email by CarTech. Son arrived today at 1.45pm for 2pm appointment as requested by CarTech. They told him his appointment was at 12 and since he was "late" they wouldn't be able to start test until 3.30 as three cars were now in front of him. He had a coupon from another Lafayette smog station for $29.75 as it clearly states online that CarTech honors all local coupons. They ignore this and want to charge him $65+, which is the price with Cartech's own coupon. My son calls me to pick him up because of the wait and tells me what they told him. I log onto Cartech's appointment system and it still clearly says appointment is at 2pm. They lied to his face because he is young and they thought they could take advantage of him. I assume they took in a bunch of walk-ins and got backed up. Fine, then just be honest and say so, don't make up lies. Add this to the coupon thing and I conclude they are totally untrustworthy and out to take advantage or anyone they think they can. I told my son to get the car and leave. There are plenty of other honest smog stations around that are way cheaper than this guy. Do not give this place your business! read more

Great experience! My husband and I made two back-to-back appointments a few days ahead. We took both cars for smog checks and they were started and finished right on time. Owner is very personable. He even checked and corrected tire pressures. The prices for SUV and luxury car were extremely fair with coupon. Highly recommend! read more

After receiving 2 other estimates, I continued to look around and was so happy to have stumbled upon this place! Well, sort of (heard of him through the grapevine). Not only was he AFFORDABLE, but a true PROFESSIONAL! Thank you for taking the time to explain things to me. Your honesty and professionalism is what's missing in customer service today. And well worth the 30 minute drive. I will definitely be back! read more

I called CarTech after reading positive reviews on Yelp. The reviews were accurate. Goodwin got me in the very next morning for a SMOG check, brake check and oil change. He called me later in the morning to give me an update on where he was at. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness and quick turnaround. I will bring my car back to Goodwin for sure! read more
