Normal Heights Smog Check

Normal Heights Smog Check

Do you live in the Normal Heights Business District area, zip code 92116. Adams Import Car Specialist has been a part of the community for 25 years and we have been smogging cars for almost just as long. Although we like to specialize in San Diego auto repair and auto service we also have a great emissions testing and repair center, specifically Smog Checks. If you need to renew your registration or get a smog check for selling your car we can do that. Smog Test Only or regular Smog Check in San Diego, it doesn’t matter as a Certified Gold Shield station we can handle all and any smog issue. We can also smog diesel vehicles too.

In the worst case scenario that you fail your smog check we can even fix that too. We can diagnose your car and make sure it is running good. We are right next to the Valero gas station and close to the Normal Heights Business District sign on Adams Avenue. If you are having some financial trouble you may be in luck when it comes to smogs, California is offering an assistance program (CAP) Consumer Assistance Program. And they will give you $500 towards smog related repairs, and better yet we can handle all of these repairs. You will approve all of the work before it is completed and Sacramento needs to approve the work as well. Once we receive approval from both parties we may begin repairs, and finally smog your car.

So if your new car, old car, or anything in between needs a Smog Check or a Smog Test Only station in Normal Heights give us a call at (619) 282-5555 or just stop by at 3166 Adams Avenue San Diego, CA 92116, near that big Normal Heights sign in San Diego and look for Smog Check. We are part of the North Park and Normal Heights community and have called it home for years.

Where you will go for Power Streering Service in San diego

Today we’re going to talk about power steering service in San Diego. If you took an informal poll, you’d probably find that most have never heard of power steering service. That’s not surprising. Even though power steering is standard on every vehicle, most people aren’t aware that it needs periodic service.

If you’re younger than a certain age, you’ve probably never driven a car or truck without power steering. To get an idea of the difference; if you’ve ever cut a board with a hand saw, you know it’s a lot of work. Using a power saw is easy-peasy by comparison. Continue reading

Testimonials

Best deal around if your DMV renewal notice says you need a "test only" or "Gold Shield" smog check. It costs about 1/2 the price here as other places (with a Reader coupon). I've had it done twice here, both times with no waiting & out the door in 15 minutes. Family run business & Eva in the office is nice to deal with. — Hillcrest G., http://www.yelp.com/biz/adams-import-car-specialist-san-diego-2

LOVE THIS PLACE..... i'm a new car person... so when my warantee expired i didn't really know where to go because i didn't want to pay the dealership prices.... I found this place and am so glad i did. They are honest, helpful, not overpriced, and tell you what you need and what you don't. For anyone with an import... (I have a mercedes benz and bmw) this is the place to go! Friendly, and professional! — Luke S., http://www.yelp.com/biz/adams-import-car-specialist-san-diego-2
