I wont be going to this repair shop again anytime. The service guy filled up the tire to a whopping 100 psi after fixing my flat tire with a tire plug. Recommend psi is 32-34 for my tires. The technician didnt bother to remedy it, simply asked me to drive away. Next day I ended up going to Firestone to ensure enough air was let out. Lucky my tire didnt explode

Staff members were not present when their hours sign indicated the store should be open. Once they arrived about 25 minutes later, the service technician did a thorough job on my smog check. Be advised this shop charges extra fees, about 2%, if using a credit card.

Just took our truck for smog, we took another car before they charged 35$, now they said 32$, i signed his papers that its not readable because very small fonts. they said i need to drive my truck ( F150) 50-60 miles, come back next week!, then they asked me 48$ to pay now and for next time 48$ again!!! that is not normal for any smog shop. then she took my key! its same as stole it. unfortunately i has something to do urgently i i paid. will not go to this shop anymore and suggest you dont do. i normally go to 4299 Peralta Blvd, just some block north of this shop but as it was late evening i wanted to do my smog faster and this guy was open! good to know them. every one around neighborhood told me dont work with this guys.

The people here are great! i always go here to get my car repaired. They are reliable people that I trust, and always give me a very reasonable price. Ive been going to this auto shop for many years, and dont plan on going else where. They turnaround time for fixing my car is always quick and reasonable. Definitely check out this auto shop next time you need somewhere to go.

Junkey serviceDon’t trust them, be careful what your signing, they give you a paper with many small letter content that you can not read it, then they blame you. They offered me low cost, they wrote by hand higher after my signature!!!!!

I will never take a vehicle here ever again. The guy that did my smoggs realized that I needed a special sticker for the cold air intake and didnt even tell me. They just wanted to charge me twice.

Great place for smog checks and oil changes. Do some some research and know what oil your car takes, ahead of time. Reasonable prices and faster than the big chain stores.

Please dont go to this service station. They dont check your vehicle properly and will just bluff you that they have done the service. If you are new to the place and dont know anything, you will get cheared by saying they will do repair at low cost.

Went an hour before closing a week ago. Had a front headlamp bulb replaced on Mini van. $35 cash. Job was done in 20 minutes while I waited on premises. Good place for quick simple tasks without the long wait at chain stores like wheelworks or Pepboys

The lady helping me speaks no English and made it hard for me to understand what she was saying. They make you sit in the sun on foldable iron chairs as you bake outside. Usually smogs take about 5-10 min. This one took about 20 minutes. I failed because of a check engine light and they still charged me and they said they would charge me again if I come back with it fixed. Most places resmog for free. Also, if they knew my check engine light was on... why did they still run the test knowing that’s why I was going to fail? Because they knew I would have to pay. They didn’t want to save me 40$ today. Don’t waste your time here. And they have a baby/toddler running around the mechanic area which is not safe or a healthy environment for a child to be around

I was asked to pay cash only for repair. And they refused to give me a receipt. However, the repair was a success thus far.

Be careful. I went to replace my left side fog light. Before they start work, I showed them clearly the left fog light is not working, but right is working and two lights are of yellow bobs. They took a hour and told its electrical problem. Ok, but When I check my right fog light, thats also not working, and left side lamp is been replaced with white one(some dummy, they took original light). When I was asking them, they told, they dont know and avoided me and shouts at me if I ask anything. Such a disgusting people, I dont know how people believe them. I dont recommend any one to visit this place any type of repairs.

Come here every 3000 miles for my oil change. Pay $25 and they always get me and get me out quickly. Descent customer service and most of the mechanics overall are pretty good at checking my tires, water, and fluids every time I get an oil change. Will continue to come back.

Experience is not so great. What they say and what they do are totally different. They do good work sometimes but poor communication skills. Neither the shop owner nor the wife try to communicate with the customers clearly. But need to tell that they are expensive compared to other shops. Giving 3 stars because if nobody is around for help, they may be helpful in that case. If you find an alternative better place for help, please go there.Other shops run generally run by caucasian people are very expensive in california sometimes and their attitude could also be not so great.

These guys are very hard working and do a great job. Not too mention it is a family run operation. The son is the most knowledgeable and helpful. They are very fair in their pricing too. If you can find a better price somewhere else tell them and they are good about matching it or beating it. I really stand behind their work

Positive: Does good work and is a master mechanic. Negative: Lies about date of completion, and cost of job. Communication lacking follow up.

I have been getting smogs done here for our family vehicles for years now and recently had a very comprehensive brake job on my Ram 4x4. My vehicles have ALWAYS been done on time or earlier than promised.Thier prices are VERY fair and competitive.

This place is scam very poor service and quality of work done on cars is very horrible. The price is totally different then what’s promised. I think OSHA safety needs to be part of routine there to see how much safety and work is done.

Avoid this auto shop at all cost. They are good for only oil changes and smog checks. If you have a problem passing smog do not get your car repaired at that shop. Go to another shop and get your car smogged.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! I REPEAT DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.HE IS A THIEF HE DOES NOT LET YOU KNOW THE REAL PRICE OF WHAT HE WILL CHARGE YOU, HE DOES NOT GIVE A RECEIPT AND HE WANTS CASH ONLY! SO AT THE END YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR CAR NEEDED OR WHAT EXACTLY WAS DONE, ALSO THEY DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHAT WAS WRONG. I SWEAR I TOOK MY CAR AND ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER PLACE AFTER PAYING 700 DOLLARS! I WANTED TO CRY, I AM 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THIS WAS THE LAST THING I NEEDED. HE IS A THIEF! AVOID THIS PLACE! THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!!!!

Review №38

They told me to drive my car couple hundred miles to clear some code.. and since I already paid for the smog they would only change me $12 for the CA certificate....but when I went back, they told me I have to pay full $42 and that they never told me it would be $12..rather pay someone more then that then deal with crooks......lost a customer because of dishonesty

Very bad service, the older guy among the group is very greedy and rip you off. They want cash money for services and not easily accept debit or credit cards. They keep insisting that you should pay in cash. The oil filter that I had bought 5.99 from Auto Zone previous time, they charged me almost 13 dollars.

This place will sreal your money. I had a electrial problem they said it was the battery..charged me 90.00 wrote down 70.00 then said he made a mistake so paid 90.00 that was my first clue he was a thief!! Soi have replaced my battery twice aince then 2 wks... not the battery!! I knew it wasnt...battery was less than a yr old! Thankfully i got them from costco they tookbthem back no problem. So im off to try another auto repair... its sad that people are so dishonest and take advantage.. i am glad for the internet so i can at least write this so others will beware this place and these thieves. I dont want to give one STAR BUT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TO JUST TO POST THIS... THIEVES

AVOID THIS PLACE.Went here for a smog test. Could not communicate with the owner as he barely speaked english. Very unorganized. Would not check really anything on the car and straight straight running the car on the dyno after the car had cooled down for 40 minutes. FAILED the car by 1 PPM on the HC at 15 MPH. Was not willing to redo the test and would charge full money for another test.Went to some other location another weekend. Guy check everything and inflated the tires to right pressure as well. Car passed without any problems.These guys are complete shitheads. Were asking me 80 bucks to replace sparks plugs and 50 for redoing the test after it failed. Also, pushed the car out of the dyno and ran inside to pull the handbrakes will the car was rolling to the street. Very unprofessional, couldve just driven the car out from the dyno.I would avoid this place.

This guy is a thief and a crook. He did an inspection for brake and lights for dmv and when I had finished fixing everything he tried to charge me the initial 150 again. Since then I have heard these inspections are usually 120 at most. Crook and a thief!!!!!!!
