D&D is the place to go for great service and good work. Was treated fairly and didn't have to wait long for the work to be completed

Great local mechanic, straight shooters, quality work and reasonable prices. I don't worry about getting BS here.

I paid for the smog to get done. Owner/worker told me to drive car a couple hundred miles to make sure everything was good before getting service. I had a baby and was sick. Time passed. I came back about a year later with the receipt as directed and the response you need to pay again. I never had the service til today and he charged for service again. This place had no policy or even policy on place when I first paid for service. They are scammers! On top he was very rude! Like extremely.. shouldn't be in business with nasty cocky attitude.. basically paid 2x for 1 service.. do not go here! read more

Scammers!!! Charged $1500 for nothing. Stated this and that, drove off and didn't make it home. Brought back, now another issues. They'll keep your car and drive it around like it's theirs without resolving the issue. read more

My brother raves about this place so I thought I'd let them smog my small diesel RV. They quoted me $128! I said it was a ridiculous price and that's when snippy told me I could go somewhere else. Their excuse for the high price was because it was an RV. For no reason they think they can charge more. Well I took their advice, closed my hood and got outta there. I went down the road a bit and got my smog cert for $70. Beware of these guys, they're hungry. read more

DD Auto Repairs - Estimate - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Whittier, California

See all

I went in for my first smog check ever. My car had the check engine light on, the technician knew that because he checked my vehicle. They proceeded with the smog check knowing that it would not pass. I did not know this, because it was the first time I had ever gone in for a smog check. The smog did not pass and they still charged me. At the time, I was on hard times and I really needed that money. I cried and told them that they should give me my money back but they refused. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Felix did awesome job on smog check. Only takes 15 to 20 minutes. Great hospitality. I appreciate it a lot. Very recommended! read more

Currently sitting in the lobby and much more comfortably than most times I've been in a mechanics waiting room. When he put my car on the raised table he brought me over, showed me the issues, showed me what it was supposed to look like and where the problem areas were. I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a car guy and downright bad at cars, him walking me through it, picking up the phone and speaking with me before I came in really makes a world of difference. Haven't gotten my bill yet but I'll be back for sure. Really appreciate the information and the walkthrough, not just the jump into all the schematics that should be looked at, with me pretending like I know what each valve and system does and why it's important. read more

I used to take my vehicles here for smog checks, now his prices are way higher than all the other places, and it seams like he looks for for piddly ass problems to fail you after it passes hydrocarbon test. The other reason is that corner is a used car lot now, trying to pull in and park is no bargain. You can't even get in the parking lot. There are much better places locally. read more

One of the most reliable mechanics out there! They're efficient and Sal is one of the very best! I had an issue with my belts and he fixed it right away with quality care. Thank you again Sal, this is my new mechanic! read more

The best treatment of handicapped!! I needed my smog certificate and when I drove in the owner,Sal, must have noticed my walker in the back of my car. He told me I would not have to get out to wait while the test was preformed. I really appreciated that. I am in my 70s and while I can lift the walker in and out, after a couple of stops it gets cumbersome. He told me for any work needed they would pick up my car or take me home if I took it in. I have found my garage. read more

Trustworthy Mechanic My son recommended this auto repair shop. It is run by a trustworthy mechanic, who cares about his customers. I had no A/C for over a year or better. I went over to the shop with my son and we all discussed what all I needed done, which there is a list. Number one priority was getting my A/C back on. He gave an estimate and we left the car in Sal's capable hands. He repaired it and delivered my car to where I work. I could not be happier. I would highly recommend D & D Automotive Repair to anyone. Hope this review will be of help. Thank you for reading it and thank you Sal!!! read more

The service and quality of work from both the owner and the technician were outstanding! I took my 92' Mazda and it needed an the extra test done on top of the typical smog check visit, this extra testing is done to vehicles from 1995 and under and is require by the DMV. The technician went above and beyond in explaining the process. The owner himself inspected and made sure the process was smooth and swift. If you have a classic or older vehicle I highly recommend D&D for any inspection. it is a business we must support as it is doing its best in serving the whittier/la mirada community. Thank you. read more

I hate taking my car in for anything but right away they made this a pleasant experience. I called and someone answered promptly assuring me they'd be available to work on my car. After arriving the process was seamless. I went for a tea and to my surprise they were finished before I was. I'd definitely continue being a customer here. read more

Super friendly, fair pricing, quick, and always make room on short notice. My husband and I both use them for our smog checks.

Took advantage of my grandmother . I personally will be contacting California bureau of repairs. Sold her a car for $1200 , now telling her it will cost 1400$ to repair. Just moved back from out of state. IAM A MECHANIC. Stop putting bullshit transmissions in cars. See you soon slimeball. read more

Sal is fair, honest and reliable. Offers a wide variety of services. I would never hesitate to bring my old car to him.

Took my car to get smogged, service was A++! Was able to get in and out quickly, efficiently, and the price was very fair. Technician was friendly and took the time to explain the process to me. Will be bringing all my vehicles here for Smog in the future! read more

Thanks extremely knowledgeable and repair does done proficiently. Best day ever. Thanks

It's really hard to find a good automotive shop you can trust because everyone is trying to upsell and make money. I did not get the feeling with D&D. My parents have lived around the corner from here since I was a kid and I needed my AC fixed on my car. I recently took it to an AC Specialist who charged me a diagnosis fee (which is fine), but came back wanting to rewire my entire system and bypass something, which made no sense. My AC worked and it suddenly stopped. There was no need for serious surgery on my car. Since it has been extremely hot, I needed AC and since D&D was local I have them a try and I'm glad I did. Sal was very friendly and honest. I am glad I have a local mechanic to help me now. read more

Terrible place. Had a big sign in the window advertising smog check for $39'00. When they charged me $60.00 I inquired why so much? The big lazy guy stated "because I had to manually input you vin number. It took me 15 minutes". If it takes 15 minutes to input a string of 15 letters and numbers?? There is a problem. I was curious what others charged for smog in the area for my 2011 ford crown Victoria?? the average price was $40. This place is a ripoff. Don't trust these people with you car!! Got a bogus response from the owner who lied about the vin numbers. The car was owned by the Garden Grove police department prior to me and the actual title was submitted with the paperwork . More BS. Don't trust this place!! . read more

Brought my car to get a smog check, fast service, polite, and peaceful here. Will definitely bring my cars here. Thanks D and D!

This guy said he put in a new battery but then didn't. I can't trust that he actually does the work I pay him for.

The most honest and hard working mechanics in town! Sal takes care of all my cars, as well as my wife's, and kid's cars. Sal is willing to work with you to figure out a problem, and is extremely fair with pricing! read more

After my trusted longtime local mechanic went out of business I was in a bit of a pickle wondering where to take my cars for dependable service. I saw a recommendation for D & D Automotive at my old mechanics Yelp site and decided to try them out. I've used their services a couple of times now and Sal provides dependable service at fair prices. It's a lot closer to my home than my old mechanic as well. Sal has become "my new trusted mechanic"! read more

My Nissan Xterra wouldn't start after a trip to Taco Bell on Leffingwell... so I rolled it over to D & D, and within 2 hours Sal replaced my starter and had my car running smooth. They had a good understanding of my car and were honest with me. Thank you for the brotherly advice Sal! Verdict: They seem to have the experience to properly diagnose your vehicle. Pro tip: Ask questions to really understand what's up with your car. read more
