Amazing service!!! Honest. Kind. And very friendly and helpful. I was referred to this place from a friend to get my smog taken care of. I was previously told that it there was so much work that needed to be done to pass smog that I was considering buying another car instead. But the market right now is crazy! Plus,my car is paid off and I really didnt want to get into another car payment. So I took my car here, spoke to Mike and Ron, asked them if they could help me, and by the grace of God, they did!!! Ron educated me about my car, what it takes to pass smog, and developed a plan to get me there. One day later, repairs have been made for a lot less than I was originally told and I passed smog! Thank you, Ron! I appreciate your help, honesty, and dedication to you provide to your customers. God bless you!

A very terrible experience! If you believe his smiley face and various confusing explanations, ready to lose your money and your time!1. GOLDEN WRENCH AUTOMOTIVE dont have the Porsche professional computer.My porsche is 2011 Cayenne.After checking my engine alarm, he told me that the test result is 0 code, but they are in order to make money, I was told that it was caused by the lack of the 90,000 mile service.2. After doing this service, the alarm light will turn on again on average 1-2 weeks, they let me drive back, just clear the alarm, still told me there is no fault code.3. I couldnt believe them anymore, last week I looked for another auto dealer with Porsche professional computer, and the check result was five codes.4. I took this result to question him, he did not have any apologies, nor did he admit that the previous service was irresponsible and invalid. In the face of the facts, continue to quibble.5. The cap of oil inspection port is in a nonexistent state after he have finished the 90K service. The lack of cap led to the oil level above max alarm all the time. He didnt even know cap existed.6. I need to pay $ 996.45 for his invalid service. Repeated torture for up to two months. All the time worried that the engine lights will suddenly come on again.He will always tell you with a smile, I will solve it for you, but for two months, no problems have been solved. When I showed up the evidence, he turned his face and did not admit any fault.I believe that this kind of thing can not only happen to the repair of Porsche cars, because the way they do things is always like this. Any car may have similar problems, that is, invalid service, just to make money, not to take responsibilityIf youre lucky you dont meet a problem wiht them, youre very lucky. But if you encounter a problem similar to mine, this is actually a high probability situation.If you gamble with your money and your time, please try

Both Ron and Mike are amazing. Ron is very professional, yet down to earth. Excellent work. I recommend them to any one looking for an honest mechanic.

Took my BMW to a shop that jerked me around for months. Couldnt fix it. Took it to Ron and they found out it was something simple and the other mechanic had misdiagnosed the car. This a talented honest mechanic.

Highly recommended and a great place to get your test done. Very fast and efficient and will get you in and out pretty quick even if you dont have an appointment. Nice lounge with lots of magazines. The owner is a really nice guy as well which means a lot in an industry that doesnt always have the nicest or most straight-talking individuals.

Had smog check performed here yesterday. While I would normally have preferred a check only station, the highest rated one in the area was closed for business. Turns out the proprietor moved his business in with Golden Wrench.Quick and honest work with no attempt to to find reasons to not pass the car. Ill be back in two years when the state makes me do this again.They should update their listing in local to reflect the smog check service so u could have found them the first time!

Took my car here because the AC was not blowing cold. Ron the store manager immediately inspected my car and found out what was wrong with it. Added some Freon and cleaned the air filter and now the car AC is nice and cold. Great service. Thank you Ron.

This is NOT a test only center. I drove over there and not only is it on a block full of repair centers, the sign says Test and repair center. Dont be deceived into thinking its a test only center.
