what service are you offering that local casas aren't offering?

you have to keep in mind that most car owners here do not require any service that's above and beyond what casas offer

people here are pretty satisfied with casa maintenance and consider casa maintenance as the gold standard in automotive repair and maintenance

as for US emissions standards -- what's important to car owners here is their cars pass the LTO emissions test. that's it.

i don't think anybody here would say "hey, LTO standard is too low. Gotta raise it to California standard"
