I agree a second opinion is needed.

Several years ago I had a dog who, with his previous owners, was attacked as a puppy and after that only liked a few other dogs, he would react "aggressively" towards most other dogs when walking. I do believe most of this came as a result of being attacked & poor socialization as a puppy. He was the only dog I had at the time & so I avoided all dog parks and areas frequented by alot of dogs/dogs off leash. His reactions were more mild than your dogs (only minor barking in the car etc) and it was fairly easy to use some distractions or getting him to quickly move past the other dog.

If you did take him to the HS/SPCA he likely would be euthanized if he displayed any of this behaviour.
