They gave me an accurate price over the phone, expedited my smog check on a busy day and were friendly and professional throughout.

In and out in 20 minutes on Presidents' Day, the workers are easy going and fun to talk to. The library is nearby if there's a wait as well!

This place is horrible!! They truly do have the worst customer service EVER! I failed a smog test…read morehere and when I asked a simple question about what some next steps may be he got so snappy and blatantly rude. He also kept saying "I no understand." Why are you in business when you cannot communicate with your clients and if you can't communicate with your clients then why be rude? I cannot believe they are still in business. You will feel like crap spending your money here with someone who truly does not care about how they treat you as a client.

This is a really hard review for me to write…read more Let me begin by saying it's an excellent little shop with two garages, a big red metal sliding gate, and little "smog check" flags scattered all around the facility. And of course, the people there are probably pros at giving smog checks! In fact person who I received a smog check from finished in less than 20 minutes. They even stayed open a 20 minutes longer after I called them from the DMV to ask if I could stop by. Now for the negatives. As professional as the mechanic was, and as grateful as I was for them staying open an extra 20 minutes. He was going to charge me $80 for a smog check. C'MONNNN. It's always so insulting when I get overcharged autoshops!! I called a couple other places before and they quoted me $40. In fact, he quoted me for $40 for the phone. And if I had more time, I could have found places in Berkeley for $30! But when I reminded him our "internet special for $40", he replied with an odd smile that the $40 didn't include the smog check paper certificate and that the total price would be $50. Le sigh. Hopefully this is the last time I change my license plate.

It's a local / family business and you'll be served kindly. Small note they may not accept car drop off due to vehicle space. We drove from Walnut Creek and had to go back home and drop it off the following day so keep that in mind if you're coming across the Bay Area. I would come back again.

I had my driver side door replaced a few years back by this shop after getting t-boned. So when I…read morefound a replacement door (and hood, which only requires 4 screws to replace since the hinges stay intact) which matched my car's color, I excitedly called them back to see if they could do a swap for me again. I ended up having to call 3 times until I was able to speak with the owner Vahe (sp? ; I'm not sure if he's related to Raj, the previous owner apparently) who refused to give me an estimate over the phone and said he had to 'plug it into my estimate software.' After some additional quibbling, he finally told me that it would probably cost around $600-700 dollars. This amount of money for a simple door and hood swap is ridiculous! It's something I could do on my own time but I just don't live in a place that allows for mechanic work (apartment complex) or access to all the tools. I recall Raj was way nicer and professional about it rather than trying to sound like a used car salesman and sleaze their way into bringing my car to the shop (I would have to ask a friend to bring the spare parts to be swapped since they don't fit in my car, at which point would be difficult to decline the job). Really, really disappointed and I don't think I can recommend this place again. *Update* Very interesting that the owner chose to respond so quickly upon my updated review. Their claim was factually false, as reasons to bring in my car were never discussed over the phone and he repeatedly just stated that he would be plugging in and quoting me whatever his estimate software produced. In fact, they have a button where you can request an estimate right on their Yelp page which makes it even more unbelievable. Would re-iterate to avoid this place like the plague since the new owners obviously did not carryover the honest work from the previous ones.
