    The sound of my "messed up transmission " . PENDEJO .
    Isaac R.

    Found this place through a coupon in the paper , probably my first mistake . (It will never just be the price of the coupon , there's a $2 tax plus an $8 service fee ) . The owner wasn't the friendliest and seemed in a rush after I showed him my coupon even though no one else was in the shop . The second mistake I made was parking in front of the shop and not before it . This means it would require the technician to reverse my car and enter the door rather than just turn right into the shop if I had parked behind . I always make it a point to watch whoever gets into my car and moves it while I take it to get serviced (should've just done that BS myself ) . I witnessed this guy reverse , take the damn turn too early and scrape my bumper into the green curb in front of the shop causing a deep scratch and green paint to smear on my bumper . He knew exactly what he did . I let him enter the shop and as soon as he gets out I immediately walk to the front of my car and look at the scratch , first thing he says "I think your transmission is messed up , that was the noise you heard " . Guess integrity goes out the window when you just want to make a buck. READ AND LISTEN to the other nightmare reviews . They aren't lying. POS LIAR . 2nd photo description : This is the invoice with my information whited out for my safety as he seems unhinged , even dangerous . He blacked out the "state service fee" in substitution of his own fee.Hes clearly been robbing ppl for years & knows how to cover his tracks. bad luck will fall on this business one day, guaranteed.

    I've been taking my cars here forever. Service is honest and friendly. Would definitely recommend this service.

    My truck in the side of the building!

    First of all I really don't like posting negative reviews. Unfortunately Mohammad the owner really doesn't care about customers or repeat business as I was. I understand that accidents happen. Last March beginning of COVID. I had to have my truck smog checked. I was just there the week before for a vehicle transfer smog. I'm going to cut to it he ran my truck into the side of his building! Then told me he had no insurance! I called the police they said it was a civil matter. I called Bureau of automotive repair no help. Mohammad told me to put it on my insurance and when I signed the work order he was released of liability . I had just recently switched insurance carriers and it was rough to get the claim quickly approved plus a 500 dollar deductible. My truck did pass smog and he gave me a "free" inspection and certificate. I went by a few months ago and asked Mohammad if he would pay my deductible . He said he would check with his insurance company! Now he has insurance??? WTF. No way to do business shady! And he also said most body shops cover the deductible! Now my truck is forever repaired... AA smog go at your own risk!!!

    You don't want to go here. They will find problems and then offer to look into the problems for alot of extra cash. Avoid this place.

    I felt Mohammed was very truthful in buying our car. I found him to be candid, pleasant easy to work with.

    Got 2 cars smogged for registration in CA. Despite a return visit to fix a mix-up with one of the VINs, everything else went fine.

    Don't let the green construction fencing prevent you from getting your car smogged...nice friendly…read moreservice, bring the online coupon and let them know before you start the process. Fast and efficient. I have used this business for years.

    Fantastic Experience with Older Car at Burlingame Smog!…read more This place is great, and their technician, Manny, is the best! Very highly recommended in every way, don't be put off if the phone call takes a few attempts. My old 1994 Dodge Intrepid had failed smog at a place in San Francisco. I took action to remedy the problem, ran fuel cleaner through it, changed the oil, put lower octane gas in it and replaced the spark plugs myself, making sure to gap each one very carefully. On the retest in San Francisco, the guy was continuously distracted and let my car idle for nearly an hour before doing the test. The car failed on the first low-speed test because the intake was too full of gasoline from idling too long, but it was fine on the high speed test which made me suspicious of the initial low speed run coming off of a long period of idling. I'm never going back to that place. Because I was raised in Burlingame, I decided to find a place here to do the smog test. A quick search turned up Burlingame Smog. The Yelp reviews looked good, so I called them up. Don't be dismayed if the phone doesn't pick up on the first try, this is a small shop, and Manny has to do double and triple duty. On my second call, it rang for quite a while, and then I noticed that Manny was calling me back while I was still on call waiting. When I arrived, everything was great. Manny was very friendly, and right off the bat, I could tell he was sharp. He immediately noticed my worn engine mounts and the very old rear tires that needed replacing (I had already ordered some). He even pointed out some signs of arcing around my spark plug wires where I had reinstalled them. Turns out Manny is also a mechanic and really knows what he's talking about! And, he cares! I told Manny about my experience in San Francisco--how the car had idled too long before the test--and he agreed that could have been the problem. He was very careful to make sure my car was properly warmed up and that any accumulated moisture/gas in the tailpipe was expelled before the test. Manny studied the results of my last three smog tests and knew exactly what to do to make sure my HC levels passed. To say he knows what he's doing is an understatement and he's a very nice guy! This was my best smog testing experience ever! Very highly recommended in every way, don't be put off if the phone call takes a few attempts. It's well worth the effort! Also worth every penny of the price, a bit higher than most, but well worth it for the professionalism and results!
