What customers say

“Super friendly and professional staff. My wait was very short. The tech had to look up info to get my VW to scan and did so successfully. I would highly recommend this place.”

Tray

“They not only passed my smog but fixed my truck when my check engine light was on, real cheap. I was watching them and they were working on it for 4 hours, the truck up in the air where they had to remove the gas tank. For parts and labor they charged me $136.00 total. I've been back to them twice since with my wife's car and for another issue with my truck, which had 212,000 miles on it.”

Hardo Baker

“Came here for 2 separate smog checks in one day, Jose is a good and friendly guy, when other places said it's too late he still took me in. Fast service too, plus they can take Apple/Google/Samsung Pay.”
