    My car was towed to ASAP smog after having the catalytic converter stolen in front of my house. **** had provided the towing and I spoke to the manager ******************* who asked me for $4500 or more to fix it. I told *** that the cost was too high and I would not be able to afford his cost. He then lowered his asking price and told me to bring him at least $1500 to order the parts. I never agreed to anything and *** decided to keep my car hostage when I informed him I would like to tow it to another garage. He refused to release my car claiming I owed him for storing the car. He then threatened to take me to small claims court if I did not pay him. He said he would keep my Car if I did not make it his office by 5pm that same day. When I arrived at the asap smog at 5pm my car was in front and I finally saw *** for the first time. I asked for my keys and found that *** and his employee had ransacked my car inside and had even removed the seats inside my car. Everything was a complete mess inside despite me never having authorized any work to be done. I never signed anything or gave any verbal authorization for *** to enter my car. *** was very belligerent with his attitude and tried to intimidate me over the phone and in person. Later when I got home I found several things missing from inside my car and car parts intentionally removed by *** and his worker who had tried to steal them from me!

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
