This place is located in Max Auto Repair store on San Pablo in Albany.
Avoid this place!! In the incident we recently had there, the manager Hung Nguyen (or did he only claim he was the manager?) showed himself as dishonest, blackmailing and verbally abusive . Very scary experience there :(
We drove there to ask the price for the smog test. He said it was 50$ and we decided not to do it (since we saw a better deal elsewhere).
When backing off, we hit the back of his car very slightly. We got out of the car, apologized. He checked his car, made sure there are no scratches, the truck opens/closes fine etc.. and told us there is no problem, there is no damage. We apologized again and were ready to leave, when he started shouting that we have to do a smog test in this place for 80$, then he will let us go.
Otherwise he is calling the police and our insurance and going to claim that we hit him and left scratches on his car etc.. HE WAS BLACKMAILING US!!
Well, we said no way we are going to be blackmailed, if you want to report the accident - let's do so, we called the police.
All the time while we were waiting for the police, the guy was verbally abusive, kept threatening us and continued to offer his smog test (having reduced the price by then :)
Shocking experience, the man is very dishonest.. read more
