I just stopped in today for a smog check after another place I found on Yelp had their hours listed wrong and I'm glad I did. Even though there was one car ahead of me when I arrived, I was still in and out within 20 minutes. If there was no one ahead it literally would have been 10 minutes from arrival to departure with my newly smog checked car. When I was looking for a Smog Check I was looking for two things, a great price and very fast service. Not only was JJ equivalent to the best price I was quoted in my few minutes of research, I was in and out in minutes and JJ was just a really nice, cool guy who was fun to talk to while he ran the test and did the inspection. Great price, Fast Service, Nice guy, very professional. Highly recommended. 5 stars as JJ provides a smog check quick, fast and cheap with a touch of fun. read more

At almost 70 this is the first Yelp review I ever did but JJ is worth it! I first went to him about ? 15 years or more ago (at his former location back then). Another smog shop "broke my spark plug wire" and said it would not pass smog as they pointed to a pulley on the engine and said the whole thing needed replacing and of course that would be some big bucks. It ran perfectly when I took it to them but now it was running horribly. I took it to JJ's smog for a second opinion. He instantly found the problem, a broken spark plug wire. I bought new wires at the auto parts store and put them on. He smogged my car, it passed and he did not charge me anything but the smog charge. I have been his loyal customer ever since. He has seen our daughter grow up from a baby and has taken the time to play his piano with her every time we smogged our vehicles over these many years. Now that I know he does all types of auto repairs, I will have everything on both of our vehicles done only by JJ and his mechanics! JJ is an HONEST and real GREAT guy! What more could you ask for? read more

Been a mechanic myself for over 40 years. I have several cars that JJ has worked on as well as all the smog testing. From personal experience, the work is good and he is a man of his word. So when I read reviews like the one posted by this person "Vahnid W." it makes my blood boil. Check that person out - all negative reviews! That tells you something right there. To try and ruin business reputations and make businesses defend themselves is terrible. Then to attack on a personal level is beyond terrible. That is the good and the bad of Yelp - no idiot filters. This business is solid and recommendable. read more

I've been a repeat customer for at least 3 years now. JJ is honest and believes in providing good service so that his customers would always come back. To that dude who gave him 1 star for not getting his call answered on time, get real man. And to the other dude who had a problem with his bill, why don't you try talking to him about it instead of writing a scathing review. It's not fair that people can only read your side of the story. Both sides need to be heard and based on all other reviews (including my own), JJ is a stand up guy and deserves a chance to explain his side. read more

Definitely the best smog check ever. AND I noticed a piano in the waiting area and when I asked JJ about it, he,, thinking I was a rock star, said he would play for me when my smog check was done. He did a great job on my van and then HE PLAYED THE BEST PIANO RENDITION OF THE EAGLES "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" I HAVE EVER HEARD. And when I applauded him for doing that he played the guitar solo from the Grateful Dead's "ALTHEA"on a guitar which was hanging on the wall. Priceless.

Went there around 4pm on a Weds afternoon. Parking is kinda tight but manageable. Was greeted right away by JJ and hooked my Truck right up. Was done in about 10 minutes and passed no problem. It was $50 for smog and filing DMV certificate. Some places might be a couple dollars cheaper but time is money and I know JJ will be doing my smog checks from now on, Thanks! read more

I went to 3 smog places and 2 other mechanics to try and get my bmw to pass smog. It took 4 months with no results. I found JJ's through Yelp and I will never go anywhere else. He's very friendly and patient with my situation and helped me enormously! He figured out the problem and I finally have my car back on the road again! Highly recommend him. read more

Excellent service. This has got to be the best smog and repair place in town. Strongly recommend it. JJ is a very nice and honest guy, he gives great prices and does great work. Took my car in for service and I thought it was going to take several days to get fixed, he did it in one day including the smog. Thank you. NEED SMOG AND REPAIR GO To JJ's read more

Got my 2005 RV smog checked there yesterday and JJ had to troubleshoot several problems before we could even get to the smog check. Everyone was kind, helpful and thorough. Will definitely use only JJ's in the future for smog checks and watched him solve everyone else's automobile issues as they came up. JJ is a mechanical genius and a great guy. read more

I definitely recommend this family owned business. JJ and his son know what they are doing. From oil changes to electrical work. All for a good price. JJ will definitely help you save money and won't do needless work you don't need. I've been coming for 11 years now and has always been fair. JJ is definitely the Man! read more

J.J.'s was great. He worked all day to fix my car. His prices were reasonable and he explained everything clearly before charging me. When I asked about the one negative review, he went over all the charges on the invoice and explained his labor fees. I would trust him to work on my vehicle any time. read more

JJ was great. He helped me out on the price because I asked and he wants to be competitive of course. I was in and out in 15 minutes. If another customer did not ask some questions when I was there it would have been done in 10 minutes. Kudos to JJ. 5 star all the way. read more
