BEWARE SHADY BUSINESS!!!! THEY WILL OBLIGATE THEMSELVES TO WORK THAT THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING!!!! I brought my vehicle in for standard 100,000-mile maintenance, which included a tune-up, a transmission flush, and addressing a minor leak in the water pump hoses. However, after the repairs, the check engine light began to appear, something that was not an issue before. Despite repeated attempts by Potrero to fix the problems, the vehicle became noisy and barely drivable. Ford later confirmed that the work was not completed correctly, including issues with the timing and improper transmission fluid levels.

I brought my car in for a smog test, I only had to wait about 30 minutes and there is a sandwich shop across the street by the time I finished eating my sandwich my car smog test and paperwork was already for much less than other places I've been to. This place is right across the street from the San Francisco general hospital.

Posted price for smog check is $58, they charged me $68, when I asked why the guy pointed at the copy he gave me and said because I need a certificate. What do you even mean by that, stick to your posted prices, keep that 10 bucks but I'll tell people about it on reviews.
