Csa Automotive and Mufflers

I've driven by this business for years, and I've never stopped by before. Recently, I needed a smog check for my wife's car. Unfortunately, my check engine light was on. My neighborhood mechanic hooked his computer up to the car and told me the news that nobody wants to hear. He said my catalytic converter was bad and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,000-$2,000! I found CSA through a Google search. I stopped by and spoke with Victoria. She gave me her suggestion to consider. She thought that since my wife's 2004 car only had 84,000 miles, which is very low to need a new converter, I might want to consider a "flush" or a cleaning of the converter, which is much cheaper than replacing it. This method doesn't work all the time, but Victoria said that they have a superior product than what is offered at other shops. Well, my check engine light went off and I was able to pass inspection! Victoria was friendly and she was not pushy. She was helpful. If you need service work done, I would give these folks some serious consideration.

Beware the new owner of this business is a crook. I took my truck in and needed O2 sensor right upper bank. Then he said my catalytic converters were bad. So they put catalytic converters in (after market) now I can't get my truck smogged. Now I'm having a problem getting my old ones back from him. I paid $1200 for converters after market ones I didn't need in the first place this business is as crooked as they come. Never do business with this company.

Brought my car for catalytic converters which was diagnosed by 3 other places that I only need 2 to replace. Brought here and the owner quoted 450 and asked to pay to order. I did. They fixed it but the engine light still came on. They said I need to replace the other 2 for 580. I did but still didn't change anything. I was then told that I need a tuneup for 180. I did but still the engine light was on. I took my car to another place and they told me the catalytic converters that they put in my car are illegal here in California. I went back and asked to put my old ones in and take off their illegal parts and give me my money but the owner refused. He said his son can give me a pass smog which will be illegal too because I already took my car to smog but the result was failed due to catalytic converters. Very bad and dishonest people.

Found this place in the Green sheet figured I’d be saving a few dollars on my oil change. Ended up spending 3x the amount and wasting allot of my time. They convinced me I needed a new power steering hose on my 2006 Chrysler 300c even though I came in with no steering trouble. The mechanic told me the steering hose was worn, had a leak, and would go out soon. I was not shown the part after it was removed to inspect it being "worn." I pulled off with my car making a weird hiss/buzz noise when I turned the wheel. Also my check engine light came on, both problems I did not have before going here. Got home checked under my hood to notice they did not put my engine cover back on. Went back the next day to find out they put a synthetic blend 5w-20 in my car when I clearly told dude fully synthetic oil. They also put the wrong steering fluid in. My dad and I, stood there and watched them switch my oil and steering fluid. After flushing out the steering fluid a few times my car makes a faint noise still. I asked for the 1st and 2nd oil and power steering fluid to be written down. The owner then told me he would not write anything down and that he is not liable for anything that happens to my car. If I could put a lower rating than 1 star I would. Don't go here if you care about your vehicle, the owner is a tight penny pencher and they will RIP you.
