Our story
J&A Auto Repair & Smog is run by a father-and-son team, Jaime and Jaime Jr, who handle everything from smog checks to full mechanical repairs in-house, so you're not bounced between shops.
Customers keep pointing to the same thing: we tell you exactly what's wrong and what it costs before any work starts. That means a clear, no-commitment estimate whether you need a smog check, a new alternator, or a full tune-up.
Most smog checks are done in about ten minutes, and we work on everything from daily drivers to trucks — comparing prices so you get the best rate in town, not just the first number.
What customers say
“My first time getting a smog. It was fast and easy and a nice comfy couch to wait on. Waiting time was approximately like 10 mins. The gentleman was respectful and helpful and it only cost $60. I was a satisfied customer.”
“This shop was recommended by a good friend who knows about cars because I don't know much but the basics. I went there with my Bronco and my Honda to get the smog done and they passed but Jaime Jr made a list of maintenance items that need attention and they gave me a quick estimate with no commitment they just want to make sure you know what needs to be done. Hands down a great place and both the Dad and Son are helpful and down to earth. I will continue to take my vehicles there and definitely recommend their shop to get work done right.”
“Jaime fixed my car fast. I brought my mom's car that had been sitting unused for over a year. After two other estimates he had the best price quote; new alternator, battery, timing belt, oil change and other fluids, air conditioner, smog check, everything it needed to get back on the road again even new tires!! Great work and fast turnaround.”
