Looking for a smog test today, the first two places had long lines and high prices.. called tony, he was upfront about the (FINAL) price, so I drive over, NO LINE, done in literally 8 minutes.. easy and stress free as it should be!! He also gave me a pen, maybe cause of corona and the fact that I touched it lol

Tony! Toni! Toné! I've been patronizing this smog place for six years now and this place is wonderful, quick, easy and efficient. But today I gave them a call and they quoted me $75 for the smog. Upon arriving I filled out the service sheet and signed it, the total said $75. After the smog test, Tony says he needs to charge me an extra $10 to make it $85. Tony says that he changed my RPM to lower it. But He never asked me to do this and while I was sitting there he never took off the carburetor. Hmm why would Tony up charge me and then never ask me to do this service and then not even taking the carb off??? I reluctantly agreed and was charged the extra ten dollars. I wish he was upfront and honesty with me instead of this. Not sure how I feel about this and came to Yelp to tell others to watch for the up charge and not be so easy going with these tactics. I still love you Tony but I feel hustled. read more

Tony at Expert Smog is professional, courteous, and trustworthy. This is the 2nd time I have gone to him. The 1st time was 2 years ago. He consistently gives me honest feedback about the smog check process. Because I am cost conscious about saving money wherever I can, he did not hesitate in answering my questions including explaining how the technology and software he licenses go into the cost he charges and was consistent both times in charging me. Thank you Tony for your honesty and friendly customer service. Art read more

I called around and a lot of the places had long waits or were not able to reserve a time for me. I've been to this location before with good results, so I called and was treated well, given a fair price, and my dog was welcomed. The owner is very nice too.

I was so grateful to him, its easy for companies to take advantage and easily scam for money, but not Tony! He honestly wants to help, and has a great attitude and customer service! Thank you again!

Randomly found this place and glad I did! I didn't get the smog check person's name but he was friendly. There were many chairs, but he told us to sit on the chairs closest to the wall because that was where we would feel the ac the most. He took around 10 mins and the smog was $43. He gave me and my fiancé each a pen. So sweet. Would definitely come back again for my smog check needs. read more

I have to admit I only came here because the smog test place I was originally planning on going to wasn't open yet (at the 76 gas station down the street; says it opens at 8am- I left at about 8:15am when no one showed up). Anyway, I got to Expert Smog and within probably 20-25 minutes I was out. There was even someone before me that I waited for to get finished. It was super quick and only $40. read more

My car couldn't pass the smog test because I needed to recalibrate the monitors after replacing my car's Oxygen Sensor. The dealer was not helpful telling me only to drive around 300 miles before taking the test. I took it to Expert Smog twice and the Drive Cycle was still not complete. Tony was sympathetic and took the time to suggest other ways to speed up the process. It is so refreshing to find a business that seems to care about the client. Tony is the best! read more

Exceptional Service, Integrity, and Trust -- Highly Recommend Ray at 101 Auto Repair…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ray and the team at 101 Auto Repair. I've been bringing my vehicles to Ray since the early 2000s, and he has consistently proven himself to be honest, knowledgeable, and someone I can completely trust. I drive a 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport, and now that I'm past the factory warranty, it is incredibly important for me to know I have a mechanic who will give me accurate information and fair pricing--without taking advantage of the situation. Ray has always done exactly that. Over the past few months, I've had a few issues arise. When my car overheated and was losing coolant, Ray quickly diagnosed a leaking hose and repaired it the very same day, getting me safely back on the road at a fair price. Another time, when the check engine light came on, he identified that it was simply the battery and replaced it efficiently. What I appreciate most is his honesty. Just yesterday, my check engine light came on again, and after running diagnostics, Ray explained that the system was detecting vapor from the refueling area and that I likely just needed to tighten my gas cap. He could have easily charged me for unnecessary work, but instead, he gave me the correct guidance--and didn't charge me a thing. He has even helped me with small things, like replacing the battery in my key fob, at no cost. Ray is the kind of mechanic everyone hopes to find--skilled, fair, honest, and genuinely committed to taking care of his customers. When you leave his shop, you feel confident and secure knowing your vehicle was serviced correctly. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic who will treat you with integrity and respect, I highly recommend Ray and 101 Auto Repair.
