0I would not take my car to john's bascom automotive because most of the technicians are not certified with any certification or licences. Elix was the most dependable and reliable with a smog license and ASC certifications and he was terminated because he reported to the bureau of automotive repair about some illegal activities regarding smog repairs. They are currently being investigated for illegal smog repairs. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO JOHN'S BASCOM AUTOMOTIVE!!!!!!!!!
They replaced parts that they were never even asked to look and and in turn caused cooling system leaks and finally the radiator blew yesterday about a month after they messed it up. They can not be trusted. They charged me to check a problem that arose after they touched the vehicle and after I paid over $2,000 for repairs. They are rude and dishonest and do not stand by their work. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE
