Sandrock Gas & Auto Repair

These guys charged me $ 60.00 instead of «15.00», without me knowing until the next day. 5 trips to the gas station, and two calls to Volero later, they still won’t do the right thing. Very dishonest guys there

There’s a reason they are FINALLY out of business! I live two block s from there and really wanted it to be a decent shop. It wasn’t and now, thankfully, will never be.
Lee lied right to my face, with a smile, and when I called him on it, he just shrugged and smiled some more.
He kept one of my vehicles for over a week. It’s not one I used very often, but when I would stop to ask about it, he kept telling me that they’d been trying really hard to get it smogged, but whatever they tried. it just won’t pass. «But we will keep trying, and we will make it pass and there will be no extra charge for you, my friend!»
This was very fishy as I’d had that vehicle for over 22 years and it had NEVER ONCE failed smog!
When I had enough, I said just give me my keys. That’s when he finally told me the truth, at least it sounded like it could be the truth. With him, you never know.
He told me his mechanic had left with the keys in his pocket, and then quit and never came back. And he admitted this happened on the 1^st day I dropped it off! He never even started it, much less «tried so hard to get it to pass.»
Thankfully I had another set, and there were no other keys (like my house key!) on the ring.
«My friend, what can I do. Is not my fault!» was his only response when I told him how angry I was at this.
How about not lying to a customer for over a week, and embellishing on those lies on a daily basis?
Gone and good riddance!

It’s a bummer that the reviewers had a bad experience. I, on the other hand had a painless experience. My truck didn’t pass the fuel evap portion of the smog test and a friend recommended I take it to Lee at Sandrock. Lee did some tests on it right after I pulled in and told me what he needed to do (drop the gas tank and replace a gasket). I told him I need it the next day by 1:00 pm. He said okay and it was ready to go at 1:00 pm the following day. I took it back to the smog place and it passed, so I am a happy customer. Maybe things will get better.

I went through the trouble of going on Unilocal,when i rarely go on Unilocal,to write this review of how much they suck. i even made a Unilocal account just to say they suck. i went to get a smog checked and they said «you should pass no matter what trust me» Lee is the owner and told me it’ll take an hour and thirty mins. i sat in a chair freezing outside for literally 5 hours. they still failed me. not only that, while i was waiting patiently, two customers came complaning about how Lee put fake gas prices on the display board and how a lady came getting an oil change. Lee promised they did an oil change for the lady but personally i dont think he did cause some service light was still on. she left really mad. they even threaten customers.
long story short im NOT going there again.

Went here to get my propane tank filled. Was disappointed when he said it was charged per gallon but since I had over 3 gallons, it was a flat rate. Let’s just say I paid almost twice as much as his per gallon rate because I was .2 gallons over his 3 gallon mark and he want willing to budge at all. I would never fill my tank there again.

My mom and I took our cars there on separate occasions for smog checks. Her car failed and he charged her the fee anyway. When I went, he said ‘if it fails, I won’t charge you the fee.’ Unfair!
He also checked my brakes and said they needed a $ 200.00 fix. I refused the service and took my trusty steed to my usual repair spot (B&B Auto Repair), where they fixed the problem for under $ 100.00.
This new place is a shady waste of space.
