Autotech Smog & Repair

Fastest and cheapest test I ever had done on my 2009 Toyota. They took the keys as I walked in the door and were done before my appointment time even started. Great!

Smog check fast efficient no hassle.
Check or cash only — no credit cards.

Wouldn’t use them again. I went in to have my truck inspected for repairs after it failed a smog ck. I TOLD THEN I NEEDED MY TRUCK IN A WEEK FOR A ROAD TRIP. they said no problem… They agreed to do a diagnostic for 98.00. they called that same day to let me know my truck needed a new (y) joint (exhaust) was worn out and the cost would be 165.00 for the part and about two hours of labor. So 198+165= 363.00.the part was ordered and would be in in the next dayb and it would pass smog. Two days later, NO CALL FROM THEM. I called and they said the wrong part had been sent, they had reordered the correct part an it would be in in two days…(5 days) now. Two days later still no call. I called them and they said the part had not come in yet… WHY NOT CALL ME OR CK ON SUPPLIER… owner Bill said he would call to see where the item was. He called back saying the part would not be in for another three days… I reiterated, that I needed my truck by that day. Bill said he would have to re mfg the part he had to fit my truck and buy some addl parts to make it work. He would have it done that night. I went to the shop at 6 pm to find my truck just being finished. $ 623.00 bill… BS…THEY ARE NOT HONEST. DONT KEEP U POSTED ON THE STATUS OF REPAIRS AND I HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY BECAUSE THEY LEFT A DOOR PARTIALLY OPEN ALL WEEK WHICH DRAINED MY BATTERY… it was working just right when I left it there… Never again… AUTOTECH.

I went to a few different places until I met these guys. They are great and get your car smogged quickly and efficiently.

Been going to Bill and his ‘gang’ for over 10 yrs and they ALWAYS taken care of my cars and trucks perfectly! One of my vehicles went into ‘gross polluter’ mode on the smog and they helped me, with getting it to the point of passing at the test station and making sure all was perfect. AND at a great $$$! My son and family go there too.

I went to automotive excellence for a smog and they were dishonest and overcharged me and my car failed smog. I immediately called autotech for a second opinion and spoke with Chris on the phone. He was very accommodating and had me come straight over and he ran test to check for an error. When no error was found he immediately took my van in for smog and gave me a generous discount and apologized for the other companies dishonesty. I highly recommend this shop! They are honest and respectful and explain everything to you BEFORE they do anything! I am very satisfied with my experience here! PS their address has changed to the following:
5490 merchant circle placerville ca 95 667

Honest, thorough, friendly, with competitive rates. That’s how I would describe this local business. We have been taking our cars to Autotech for several years. Bill and his team have always taken great care of us and we highly recommend them.

Very honest and nice people. Took car for major work. I decided to get a new car instead. They never pressured me or hassled me. Gave an honest assessment of what needed to be done. Great experience.
I defiantly will recommend and return.
