Quick and good. This is my go-to smog check shop. Got mine done less than 15 minutes. If you are the first one, you will be out in no time.

As a walk-in, it was a short wait. Quick and easy. I would return the next time I have to get a smog check for a renewal.

How long does the smog check take?

No more than 20 minutes I'm sure was less than that because when I got there he was working on one but didn't take long was super fast!! You won't find a better place that Dinh's!

Are you a STAR station? I had my car SMOG test by you before, but this time need to be done by a STAR station shop

Yes, I went to this place because it's a star location

Anyone know if he does RV smog?

I just asked and they do not . Due to being to big for their facility.

I had a really great experience at this shop and honestly can't recommend them enough. A few weeks…read moreago, my catalytic converter was stolen, and I had it replaced at another shop. After that repair, my check engine light suddenly came on--even though it wasn't on before. The first shop told me it was a problem with the mass air flow sensor and tried to charge me to fix it, which didn't feel right to me. So I decided to come here for a second opinion, and I'm really glad I did. The mechanic took the time to properly diagnose the issue and walked me through everything step by step. Within about an hour, he figured out that it wasn't the air flow sensor at all--it was just a blown fuse. That alone saved me a lot of money and potentially from being overcharged elsewhere. What really stood out was the honesty and communication. He explained clearly what went wrong, didn't try to upsell anything, and made sure I understood the situation. On top of that, he even aired up my tires for free, which was a nice touch. Fast, honest, and affordable service like this is hard to find. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this shop to others.

Service requested was spot on, called for a used tired. Fair pricing at 60 otd, it was done…read moreimminent i came back. One of the fastest pit stops I've ever made in my life. George was the gentleman that helped me. Fred was the worker on the register. 10/10 would come back and will recommend to others.

Jesse was amazing! I messed up doing my own oil change and ended up over torquing the oil drain pan…read morebolt, so my bolt wouldn't stay in. I made an appointment with him the night prior at 10pm and he promptly came out the next day at 8:30AM to fix the issue. He retapped the threads I had stripped out and fixed it for me. He also made sure to drop my oil pan and clean out the metal shavings so they wouldn't get into the engine and put a new gasket on when he reinstalled it. He also completed my oil change. He was able to finish the work in less than 2 hours too! Thank you Jesse for your great help! You saved me!

As you can see by the other reviews, Jesse the owner needs to improve his organization and…read morecommunication to run his business better. My experience was called to book on Monday morning, quoted the price based on easy to describe work and an appointment for Wednesday at 8AM. So I adjust my schedule and am ready. No show, no answer calls or texts until a call at 930 - where he apologizes for issues on Tuesday and will show up at 5PM. Fine. I'll adjust my evening plans too. An organized person would have adjusted plans and communicated Wednesday if they had issues/delays Tuesday. Then, at 2PM calls back and says looking more like 530PM. And then he says... oh? Did I give you a price already? Oh that's actually a lot of work and says it'll actually cost 60% more. That was enough to call it quits. While I can't speak to his mechanic abilities, he fell short on: 1) being able to accurately understand and estimate work before quoting, or worse, stick to his quote when he gets busy 2) ability to plan his schedule and communicate reasonably. I hope he learns from this and other experiences and reaches his potential through better consistency.
