    Waiting area

    Took my car here for a smog check and couldn't be happier. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Prices are excellent -- some of the best in Livermore. Best of all, they were efficient and got me in and out quickly without any wait or hassle. No upselling, no runaround, just honest, fast service. Highly recommend if you need a smog check in the area!

    Smog check

    In California, gasoline-powered vehicles more than 8 model-years old require a biennial smog check for registration renewal. Smog check for cars requested by DMV every 2 years. STAR certified station by Bureau of Automotive repairs (TC 282538) effective Y2016. Same old good service. Fast (out in 10-15 mins) , reliable & good value - $54.75 all inclusive for 2016 mid size sedan. (Did not have to mention $25/- discount certificate on their website when called for appointment. They already include that in their quote ($79.75 minus $25.)) They have 'Tap to pay' which helps for accepted CC pymts - MC/ VI / MX. Note- Fee is due whether vehicle fails or passes smog test.

    They got my smog test done in less than 10 minutes! I went around 3PM. Don't forget to check in on yelp! They are professional and very fast.

    Pulled right up, welcoming staff and got to work quickly.

    Great service. Staff is friendly and efficient. Pricing is the best in Livemore. I have been using this service for at least 10 years.

Sunny and Omar were great. They greeted and opened the door for us as we approached the front entrance. It was very warm and welcoming. Everyone should buy their Porsche from this dealership. Tons of parking and great inventory. Thank you for making it a memorable experience for my wife. She got her dream car! Special thanks to Sunny for taking his time and explaining everything and making sure we understand everything in his office, very patient.

    I used to love this dealership, and my previous reviews below show it. I don't like writing…read moreone-star reviews, and I spent enough time explaining to them how important it is to be fair and not forget the dealership's longtime clients. I was recently offered a 2026 GT3 Touring. They asked me $50K over MSRP to "start building a business relationship." I heard those familiar, luring words all over again. They apparently forgot that I've bought multiple GT cars from them, paying more than $50K in markups on each one. I made it clear that I was uncomfortable with the markup, but they still asked me to come in, so I agreed to have a dialogue. During the negotiations, I reminded them of my history with the dealership, including how many cars I've already bought and the nearly $200K I've paid in ADMs over the years. Their response was, "Its new ownership, and you need to give us something." Apparently, my entire purchase history was wiped out the moment new ownership took over. They obviously want my business, but only under their terms--and, in my opinion, those terms are sketchy. I'm actually glad they approached me at a time when I don't need to buy from them. Nevertheless, I would always consider buying a cool car. I hope this review helps some Porsche enthusiasts who are excited about building a relationship with this dealership, as well as people like me who may be seriously considering coming back.
