The reason I ended up with this place was because it is on the list of Automotive Emission Specialist for Washington State Vehicle Emission Inspection Program. The first time I had to go there they gave me an estimate of about $200, which eventually got ballooned to $313.51 ($160 labor) and failed the emission test. The fact that my bill was $313.51, I got a waiver for that. I went back later this year before emissions and before changing anything or doing any repairs labor cost is 188.93 for diagnostics and if I decide to get the suggested parts changed it will be another $250. Mind you this is Camry 1999 model. Their labor charge is $92/Hr. which means they worked ($349) almost 3 hours to look for the fault and then changed the Vaccum Modulator for $112 and now they wanted to spend another $250 to change a solenoid and I can bet it would still fail the emissions. If you have lots of money to spare, please go to this garage and they will find multiple reasons to charge it from you. I have had enough.
