Can't drive it in?
Failed a smog somewhere else? Bring us the report. Call before you have it towed somewhere else — we'll coordinate it and start the diagnosis the moment it lands.
Labor is a flat Ask for today's rate per hour. Diagnostic time is credited toward any repair you approve, and nothing gets touched without a written estimate.
