2 vehicles 2 smogs!
Well I’m gonna combine two experiences in one. My son got his license and his sister gave him her old car but in order to register it we had to smog it. Well as life goes, the battery had died then we jumped it then we bought a new battery and then we had to smog it. Everyone was booked out 2-4 weeks and when I called Larry’s because my son was dying to drive his car, Sandy said we have time tomorrow morning! So off we go the next morning and wouldn’t ya know….. didn’t pass! My daughter was planning to go to the dmv the following day and take care of transferring it and all that with her brother so time was ticking! I asked Donald if we had to actually drive it 100 miles and should we get a TOP ? He gave us his opinion and I said can we bring it back in tomorrow morning and have you check it again. He didn’t even hesitate he said “sure! Just tell Sandy I told you to come in!” lol then I said well since it didn’t pass would you be willing to smog mine right now?! He said absolutely! But I didn’t end up having time so I brought it back four days later!
The following day it was my son, my son-in-law & one of his friends and when Donald said it passed all the boys high fived each other like they had just won the championship! lol
The point of the lengthy paragraph is to explain that Donald, Sandy and the team at Larry’s Auto Care are down to earth, real caring people that aren’t trying to screw you over. Sadly there is already enough of that especially in that industry! Our situation although was not the end of the world to all of us, but to a newly licensed teenage boy it is everything! Thank you Donald and Sandy for making the experience a fun and positive one for my son and myself! I will highly recommend your business everywhere!
Much love and respect~

Nice and Helpful and Professional
Overheated driving up highway 17. Checked for leaks in radiator and head gasket and more, but determined we just needed to top off our coolant. Just charged us for the price of a bottle of coolant. Nice folks.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. It's always a relief when a potential crisis turns into something as simple as topping off your coolant.

We're glad we could help, and we hope your future drives will be smooth and worry-free!

Friendly quick service.
My van broke down on 17. They let me have it towed immediately to the shop and within a couple days had it diagnosed and fixed. Thanks is all.

It sounds like your van had quite the dramatic episode on 17, and we're glad we could swoop in to rescue it. Getting it diagnosed and fixed in a few days feels like a pit stop at the Indy 500! Your appreciation means a lot to us, and we’re happy to help keep you on the road. If you ever encounter more vehicular shenanigans, you know where to find us!

Smog test
Fantastic service, the whole team is great, including Larry. They squeezed me in for a smog test and I was able to quickly get in, and out with a smog certification for my MX-5.
The Team at Larry's A. from Larry's Auto Care responded on 06/19/2025 09:34 AM

We appreciate your feedback! It's great to hear that our team was able to fit you in for that smog test. Nothing like a quick pit stop to keep your MX-5 in top shape! If we could only fit in a car wash on the side, we’d be officially magic. Drive safe and enjoy those open roads!
