I started using Bobby's to do my smog checks. They were more expensive, but the cars always seem to pass. Later, the cost of the smog checks were reduced and the cars still seem to always pass. Based on this confidence building experience, I began to bring the cars in for repairs when needed. I've yet to have to bring the cars back in again for rework. Finally, repairing cars ain't cheap, bu that's not Bobby's fault, it's more a sign of the times. Oh, for the days when parts were more expensive than labor.
