text: ANother update at the bottom as the crap thickens...\n\nThis is an update of my original post in response to a comment posted to my review from Terry.\n\nNever again...went in for a part and have them verify it was what I thought a discontinued part no one carried. They took it in and 30 mins later tech came out and told me he found my part....for 600 dollars. I paid my service fee and left slightly worried. Took it to my real trusted shop James West Automotive and turns out its not even the part I or Sun Valley said it was...and it was only 100 dollars. \n\nAll these reviews about great smog checks?? Really?  That doesnt make a shop...being correct and not a crook does.\n\nGo ahead and head there if you wish...sure they have Oceanside property in Colorado for you too\n\nHere is the update and response:\n\nTerry I know your shop had been around since I have been coming to it for decades and went to school with Dan.  You were also my trusted shop until this day and went to who could get me in quicker which was yours.\n\nThe date of service was 11-1-2011 Invoice Number 51589 time in9:25 time out 10:20. Your typed quote was 596 plus the 46 for the diagnostic. Go ahead and find out the tech that tried to charge me that much for a part that oreilly's and autozone carry for just over a hundred and don't try to tell me the rest was labor as I changed it myself in 20 mins.\n\nThank you for making your shop look worse.\n\n2nd Update.\n\n\nWell Terrry 1st off the part was not a cheap part it was from Cardone who has been around almost twice as long as your shop. 2nd the 85% failure rating you gave was a nice number you plucked out of the air..nice try. 3rd. the person running your desk was quite clear that the diagnosis fee was not going to be credited back if I had the work done there as it work already performed. 4th.  I have a solo brake bleeder kit that magnetically sticks to the frame so ya..it is that easy to bleed the brakes but the hour labor was not the issue, the BS markup on the part was. \n\nReply with all the lies/excuses  you wish, Yelp is for the people and everyone reading this can see the facts and your several attempts/failures at excusing the BS that occurred that day. \n\nTake care and I wish you only the best
