Jeff I.

I just got back from getting a smog check. I was quoted on Yelp... $40 out the door. When I arrived, the guy tried to explain its $40 for the exam and $9 for the certificate. He tried to argue with me that a certificate charge was mandatory. So how is this $40 out the door? Classic bait and switch. I was quoted by other companies where including the certificate, it was $40 or under. I would definitely shop around as there's places that do it nearby for cheaper. Not only was his attitude unwelcoming, but they should honor the quoted prices. The next time I need a smog, I'll be going elsewhere. Your business runs on customers, do better. I would skip this one. There's others on the same street. I only gave an extra star because the service was completed.

After waiting a bit, smog check took just 10 minutes.

I requested a quote for a STAR smog check via Yelp on a Sunday when they're closed. I was surprised to receive a very fast response from a lady named Phuong. It was $40 flat, including all taxes and fees which is competitive. It was drop-in only. So I went the next morning (Monday) around 9:55am. It was easy to find. I like that there was enough parking considering a lot of auto shop parking lots tend to be super cramped. There was an older gentleman who greeted me. His English isn't the best but it wasn't a problem! He was nice and helpful. I was in a rush to make it to another appointment, so I requested we be done by 10:30am-10:40am at the latest, otherwise I'd have to come back later. He did his best to accommodate me despite there being two cars ahead of me. He kept me posted on timing which was nice. There was another gentleman doing the smog checks. Together, they both gave clear instructions on where to park, opening windows (for ventilation during COVID I imagine), etc. I pulled up at 10:30am and we were done with the check and payment by 10:40am - right on time!! Just make sure to mention Yelp, otherwise they will quote you a higher price. Overall, great service!

Bit pricey but it was convenient (not far from me), easy entrance / exit and parking (which is a struggle at most other SMOG places due to shared lots wither other mechanics), and super fast. So overall it was worth the price for me. I will come back!

Sweet man! Easy in and out! $60 for me. Would recommend. I'm glad Yelp did a good job on notifying me about this place.

Updated review: Lon Goldstein called me back. He said he was…read moreat a conference in Florida so he called me back as soon as he could. I have no reason doubt this. I don't need an alignment right now, but I will try again at this location in the future. When I asked Lon what should I do if I get denied service again, he said to call him directly. I've saved his number in my contacts now. Let's see how this goes. I'll update my review/ratings when I try to get an alignment done at a later date. Original review: This location will not honor the Lifetime Alignment if you purchase it from a different location. I've contacted their customer service. It got escalated to Lon Goldstein (Area Manager). Lon called (unfortunately I missed the call) and left me a voicemail with his direct line. Sounds good so far. I called back same day about 2 hours later. Goes to voicemail. That's fine. I'll just try again the next day. I called again the next day. Left a voicemail. Nothing. I just tried calling today. Left another voicemail. I don't think it should be this difficult. In an age where emails and texting exist, calling shouldn't be the only option. I understand that I'm just one small customer, but Lon is really showing me the level of customer service I should expect from this company. I'll take this review down and/or change my rating once this gets resolved. However, I doubt it. At this point, it seems like I'm forcing someone to do something they don't want to do.

I came in for an oil change, but the also flushed my power steering, and changed my air filter. My…read morecar was definitely running better after they serviced it, and I was able to to get it all done during my lunch break. I am not sure if it cost more than my regular mechanic, but I was glad that I didn't have to make an appointment and was just able to wait. The reason why I am only rating them 4 stars is because when they changed the cabin air filter, they moved everything that was neatly organized in my passenger seat to get to the glove box. They ended up just throwing everything everywhere in my van. If they had just told me to move everything, I would have. I just wanted an oil change, but they told me there were other things that my van needed, and I said yes to everything they suggested. I did not know they would need to get into my glove box. I wish they had just asked me to move my things instead of making a mess. Other than that, my van drives wonderfully.

Car comes back making sound coming from front console. Cool. Play around with AC fans by turning on and off. Sound is coming from glove compartment. Take a look at cabin air filter, seems normal. Took out cabin air filter and turn on AC fans. Same noise but sound is more audible. Reach in to find large clump of cotton? fiber glass stuffing? No clue what to call it but no way it would be something that gets stuck in the fan or would be from the outside of the car. Could this be shady business practice or did this big piece of pocket lint sneak through all the crevices and found it way UNDER the filter and not OVER where all the debris would come from. Pulled it out and replace filter. Sound issue solved. I would not recommend this place. Learn to change air filters yourself, it's cheap and easy. Find a ma/pa shop that actually care about your business if you cannot do it yourself.
