I took my 1979 El Camino here on March 14th to get it looked at after it failed a smog test. I dropped the car off on a Tuesday morning and didn't get a call about the status of it until Thursday morning. When I went back I was told that the engine needed to be replaced as well as the catalytic converter. While I appreciate their honesty in not trying to get me to pay for unnecessary repairs, I left without getting any work done on the car and paid $125 for the diagnosis. Fast forward to April 9th when I took the car to a 2G smog mechanic to get the car looked at. They tested it and determined that the only repair the car needed was a carburetor adjustment. They also told me that there was nothing wrong with the engine and that a catalytic converter wasn't needed for my car. After fixing the carburetor the car was tested again and passed smog. I don't know who is telling the truth regarding whether or not my car needs a new engine and/or carburetor so I won't blame this establishment for misleading me, I just question whether or not they could have diagnosed the carburetor issue and fixed it while having my car for nearly three days. I'm giving a four star review to be fair but I wasn't happy that they kept my car for that long, did no repairs, charged me $125 for a diagnosis, and didn't give me any paperwork regarding the results of the inspection.

Amazing work and amazing customer service. Never have I experienced such top notch work and professionalism from any mechanic or automotive shop in Vegas. Sam took time to explain process and went above and beyond to make things happen for my 66 mustang. The team treats you like family and is so honest/ thorough. I highly recommend to anyone and they have definitely locked in business with me and my friends. Thank you pops automotive and family!!

They fixed the bumper on our truck, and they did it within several hours of us dropping it off. Great shop!
