Went to Hyundai Dealership for an AirBag light. Hyundai wanted $175.00 for one hour of "Tech" time to determine what is causing the issue. So -- my bill was going to be $175.00 PLUS the cost of any repair. The cost of repair could be a few thousand dollars for a "Seat Matt Senor to a few hundred dollars to reset the system." Called around and found "AirBag Tech". Rod told me to bring the car to him and he'll check out the issue and tell me what he can do. $95.00 dollars later, Rod reset the system and it seems to be working fine. So glad I went with my gut and checked around to find AirBag Tech with Rod. read more

Good and honest work! Definitely recommend! Took my truck in, was able to resolve the problem quick.

He did a very good job. After two other mechanics tried and failed to fix my xterra rod from Airbag Tech was able to fix my issue. 100% would recommend his services. read more

My airbag light came on for no reason on my Hyundai Elantra. I took it to Keyes Hyundai dealership since I thought it might be a clockspring issue, which would be covered under an extended warranty. The dealership told me it was another problem, so they would need to charge me $175 per hour for a diagnostic to confirm the issue. I assumed they're either lying or going to charge me hundreds if not thousands of dollars to fix it, so I searched around to get a second opinion. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant at first to bring my car to Rodrigo because there weren't too many reviews and he works out of his house. BUT thankfully I took the chance. Rodrigo was friendly and professional. Plus it was really easy to set up an appointment. As he was diagnosing and repairing the issue, he told me step by step what he was doing. I definitely felt confident in his work. To top it all off, it was cheaper to have it diagnosed and repaired by Rodrigo then just getting a diagnostic at the dealership or any local car repair place. If you have an air bag issue bring your car to Rodrigo! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to my friends and family if they ever have any airbag issues. read more

See all

I highly recommend Air Bag Tech! Rod was super nice and honest, he was able to fix my daughter's car and saved us hundreds compared to what the dealer was going to charge. Call him and set up an appointment, you won't be disappointed. 5 stars EASY! Thanks Rod! read more

Great Airbag Technician ! Knows His Stuff and Stays True To His Appointments ! Seen my car on same day notice was able to squeeze me in at night time and fixed in less than 1 hour ! Will recommend to anyone who need airbags serviced in the LA Area ! No matter how far you have to drive to to get here you will save money guarenteed ! read more

Yeah... Dealer wanted $1200 to fix my issue. My doggie chewed one of the electrical lines for the airbag. Dealer charged me $150 for 'diagnostics' even though I told them what was wrong. This guy fixed it for under 200 bucks. He's also mobile. This guy's a freaking hero. read more

Rod and his son are life savers! I don't know how to I could express how helpful and nice they were. I had went to stupid Toyota 3 times for them to do ABSOLUTELY nothing and still charge me! I wish I could have found rod before I went to Toyota. Totally worth going to help if you need your car to be fixed! read more

IN THE FIRST PLACE.... please ignore...ignore...ignore the reviews that don't give this technician 5 stars....really...I mean it!!! I don't know what happened previously but Rod is a "national treasure" when it comes to getting your airbag lights OFF....and the system working...for a reasonable price! I could go into detail but the repair and light turn off that was quoted at a Toyota Dealership AND MISDIAGNOSED for $2400..... cost me $195 for the labor at Airbag Tech! Thanks to Rod and his son, the dash light is now OFF...and I can go out and buy some Christmas Gifts with the money I saved. He has the DEDICATED AIRBAG CODE READER and all the other tools necessary to get the job done. He can either come to you with his mobile van...or you can agree to meet him at his house...so don't be surprised that sometimes he works out of his residence in Sylmar. But IT IS WORTH THE DRIVE to save a ton of money...and meet a very polite and considerate and competent person like Rod. NO, I'M NOT A RELATIVE OF ROD...THE ABOVE IS MY TRUE EXPERIENCE. THANKS, ROD..... read more

Recommend 100% honest work and cares about your safety , reliable and legitimate service. Receipt is giving with a whole report on what has been done. Also very knowledgeable. read more

I want to preface this review by saying that I am a critical person who rarely writes reviews. In this case I would have been ashamed not to write a review. The service provided by Rod Salas was exceptional and outstanding. Airbag problems appear not always to be straight-forward as was the case with my problem. We think of a technician only needing to hook up an analyzer, read off the problem, and replace an item. Not so. The solution for my problem required knowledge and experience, ability to think critically, and the skills necessary to accomplish the repair. I was present for the entire repair, and Rod demonstrated all of these. I had many questions for him, and he answered them patiently and with factual information; when he didn't know something, he said so. He was transparent and honest. He was conscious of costs. He removed the many plastic dashboard panels to get to the main SRS module slowly and carefully without breaking a single plastic tab! He was a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with. It doesn't get much better. Thank you, Rod. read more

Thanks for the help Rod you save me a bundle, i would have spent over 600 dollars if i let the lexus dealer do the work. Great job I'm satisfied. I would recommend you to all my friends snd family . Jose read more

Rod went above and beyond identifying and resolving our daughters airbag issue. He tried to troubleshoot over the phone but when that didn't work he repaired it for less than half of a local Toyota Dealership. During the repair, he educated her about the process. BEST SERVICE EVER! http://airbagtech.net read more

I just came from Rod's after spending over $1500 at the Mazda dealer attempting to diagnose and repair my air bag light on my 2006 Miata . It seems the dealer attempts to fix the problem by replacing one part at a time then telling you additional parts need to be replaced as they go, Rod originally diagnosed the seat track on my first visit. Ultimateely after spending over $1500 at the dealership. I installed the seat track myself and took it to Rod's for calibration. Within in 30 minutes my error codes were gone. One of the nicest and most honest people I know. Start here first and potentially save yourself thousands in repairs. read more

Rod provides exceptional service and treats every customer with respect. Without hesitation I refer Rod to anybody, and I know that he will do what is right for the customer. I without a doubt endorse Airbag Tech as a premier business in the area. read more

Absolutely AMAZING service!!! Rod is an expert and has so much knowledge in the industry. I appreciated his efficiency and ability to figure out exactly what the issue was with my car. He thoroughly explained the solution right away. Rod is reliable and exceptional at what he does! Thank you again! read more

Rod is great! I've came to him a few times with checking my BMW after finding out my airbags were missing and installed incorrectly from a shop I had previously went to! He made sure all my connections were fixed and also went out of his way to fix a previous bad wiring job from the shady shop as well! Definitely see him for any airbag repairs! 5 stars! read more

This guy rocks! Incredibly fast, efficient and competitively priced. I needed my seatbelt fixed immediately, and he met me at 7pm, took him less than 15 minutes. read more

The guys at Airbag Tech Inc have been in business for many years for a reason. They came out to my shop to do a drivers air bag for a 2015 Chevy Camaro and both seat belts. Rod and his son came in who are very knowledgable about air bag systems I was pretty surprised with how good they were on the newer model cars computer. I will definitely be recommending them to other shop owners and I will be using them for all my shops air bag needs now. Thanks guy ! read more

I called Rodrigo early yesterday about an appointment, went to a dismantler to pu my parts, met him later same day. Honest, reliable, and flawless installation. Thank you. I will be calling back shortly for a truck I will be working on as well. Highly recommended. read more

Worst customer service. Had to get my airbag checked he doesn't tell me about the diagnostic fee of $60 then when I ask him how much it will be and what the car needs he avoids the question just keeps saying it needs three parts. Doesn't tell me at all what parts or why or anything. Then tells me I gotta pay him 60 for seeing the car and I tell him why he didn't tell me from the beginning about the fee and he stands up and walks out saying rude remarks. Very horrible service. Never again will I call this guy. He is unclear and completely rude. read more

Completly satisfied went to a couple of places to fix my airbag light and all of them wanted me to replace parts that were'nt damaged. The problem was found and solved in under a few minutes with the airbag techs. Highly recommend them with any issues regarding your airbags. read more

Recently, I was in LA on a business trip and needed help when my mom's airbag light went on. The guys at Airbag Tech helped me out - very professional service too, they even met me at our location. I'm glad I didn't get stranded on the way back to the hotel. Thanks guys!! read more

Rod did a great job fixing all my airbags. Very fast with a great price. He's professional and provided me with great customer service. I definitely recommend him !!! read more

After a collision I had the dealer give me an estimate to fix the light that was still on. The estimate given was about 30% of the value of the car, they talked about all of the issues it could be, hard to diagnose, didn't really want to do it. In half an hour Rod diagnosed the problem and ordered the part. When I returned, another half hour to replace the part and I was up and running. He is extremely knowledgeable about air bag systems, very nice to deal with, and gives you confidence that the job will be done right. Can't say enough good words. read more

I had an airbag blinking light that was driving me crazy. I had tried Galpin but the estimate sounded way too high. So I found Rod and his son. I arrived on time and they were ready. An hour and a half later on the road again with the problem fixed. Price was exactly as quoted. I can sleep at night now read more

I recently bought a camper built on a 2004 Chevy Express Van chassis. An airbag light was one of the issues I needed to sort out. The issue was fairly sticky, but the guys from Airbag tech stayed at it until the issue was fully resolved. They traced a wiring issue from the front airbag sensor to the computer. They removed the front seat and a lot of carpet and trim to get to the wiring harness. It was all put back very cleanly and the airbag issue was solved. I am very happy with the service and would not hesitate to call them again. read more

Can't get any better then having a tech who knows how his work and is honest and truthful! Glad to have work with Rod! Gladly reccomend him if you ever need any type of airbag services! read more

This company is FOR REAL!!! If your in the business of auto repair, shop no where else, this company is the only phone call you need for your airbag repair problems. read more

Very genuinely professional techs with great service! And the prices were just as great! read more

Very unhappy with service quality. Not only does the guy have a terrible attitude but his knowledge of airbag systems is very limited. Could not and didn't want to bother explaining what was causing my airbag light to come on. Asked me to get a few replacement SRS parts installed on my car and told me he would come back to program the vehicle. When it was ready he refused to come back to complete programming on vehicle stating it was a waste of his time. Leaving me out cold after spending $300 on parts that were not even needed! Was forced to drive unsafe vehicle for a couple of days with my family until Galpin repaired the issue for $80. Please do yourself a favor and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

These guys are the best. Got me in the morning after I called, drove over - they took a look and told me I had the wrong parts... Rod gave me a couple suggestions of where to find the parts I needed. Not only did I find them, but it was much easier than when I was looking on my own! I really was doing things the hard way going to salvage yards... I had no idea there was a gigantic online inventory available across the US & Canada. I called again- again he told me to come in the next morning. Super quick and easy install. Auto places are not the go-to for airbag install... They'll keep your car all day and charge you a kidney for it!! In fact, I found that most don't even really deal with airbags. Truly- I did my research on it. What a pain in the... Ahem. Yeah. Also, when I went to for the CHP inspection- they said they knew Airbag Tech, that they did good work, and we're glad I chose to go somewhere legit for my install. What a load off!! So glad I went with Airbag Tech!! Thank you Rod and son- y'all ROCK! read more

I went to see Rob yesterday because I had an airbag light on in my 2006 BMW I did a little research on it and I was so scared that it was going to be expensive he ended up fixing it within minutes and it was extremely reasonable I highly recommend them he was very nice and extremely professional thank you so much Rob Twins read more

This guy is an asshole!!! he will tell you what you already know and charge you for the visit.. he acts like an airbag elitist know it all.. Of coarse he knows more then you cause thats why you called him but he will act like its common knowledge and act like you are stupid..you have to have everything ready for him.. all air bags and equipment or you will pay for his visit.. it would have been helpful if he told you that you need equipement and what to look for in the first place.. i promise you that he doesn't get repeated customers , and he makes his money on one time visits... He is just like taxi cab drivers that have a Monopoly on the market so they can act like complete assholes.. read more

Great friendly service, got my airbags and seat belts installed at a low price within a couple hours.

Rod Salas comes highly recommended. I called and he returned my call and set up my appointment for the next day within 30 minutes. We drove over and met him and his son....completely nice and very professional. They proceeded to check my air bags and were extremely meticulous....which I appreciated. They also explained what they were looking for and showed me what to look out for with future car purchases. I will definitely be recommending them to others. read more
