Fernando, the owner, is a great guy! I've been coming here for about five years, maybe more…read more Fernando is friendly, knowledgeable, and friendly. Did I say friendly? He gets you in and out quickly, even while being friendly and conversational. It's a test only center so you can be sure he's not going to try and get you to perform unnecessary repairs. My son and I were doing some repairs on one of our vehicles, which required the battery to be disconnected. This reset the emissions readiness of the vehicle, and the onboard computer needed to evaluate the vehicle under certain driving conditions. Fernando explained what needed to be done, and my son completed the hoops and we got back in for the smog check. I definitely recommend this place!

Great service! I needed a lot done to the car. All the brakes and rotors were changed, oil was…read morechanged, and also the headlights weren't working. The headlights took an extra day since the car is a euro and the parts needed to be ordered. The place is busy and full of cars! Definitely go in early or call to see when the best time is to get your service done. I was looking at the low star reviews.... Be realistic with your expectations when bringing in your car. If you have a unique problem, chances are it's going to take longer than you would want it to take to get it fixed. Otherwise just go to the dealer to get it fixed and pay dealer rates/prices. All in all, Vinh's pretty straightforward and honest about the labor and parts. Definitely recommending the shop to all my friends!

For 1995 and older you need evap equipment... this is the only place I checked that had both. It is next to a tire shop and there are some food places neighboring - that is great for waiting and convenience. They two guys working here are very pleasant and love cars. I like that. I had a new cat put in and my truck passed with almost all zeros. If your cat is old keep it hot. Let it idle before you get it tested. Take it on the highway for 20 minutes before you come.

One thing I noticed--when I arrived right at 8:00 AM, there were already five people behind me waiting for smog inspections, so definitely come early! It's easy to see why they're so busy. I highly recommend KS Smog if you need a fast and efficient smog check. They open at 8:00 AM, which is earlier than many other smog shops in the area that don't open until 9:00 or 10:00. If you're looking for a convenient place to get your smog done before work or other errands, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! Fair price for smog too!!

First time having to do a Smog Test on my RAV4. My DMV renewal notice didn't even note it was…read moreneeded until I paid and received a letter it was INCOMPLETE. I guess when your car hits 8 years, the first smog needs to happen and coincided just shy of 8 years *eye roll* I was in the area and came across Hayward Auto Care (HAC). STAR certified location which i realized (later) is overkill for my low-mileage and maintained vehicle. I was told up front the cost (was a bit surprised) and in hindsight, should've gone to a regular Smog Check location. Yes, I should've done my homework beforehand (failed) and paid more for convenience. Completed in 20mins. I would consider returning for other services. Be sure to utilize their COUPON (discount) on their Smog Service and other services located on their site! Disclaimer: There was no hard sell and/or pressure from Ken or his son who were friendly and efficient. Note: STAR stations are held to higher performance standards by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and are authorized to test vehicles flagged as high-polluter risks

Today was my first time getting a 50,000 mile maintenance service on my vehicle and I am so happy I have a regular spot to go to for my car now. Service was very kind and professional.

Excellent communication with a text-able phone number and a listed page of services with pricing... both of them had super calm tones in their speaking voices, which I really liked. As a new lady client, I got very good vibes and felt that they were trustworthy with a good reputation. I even learned some maintenance tips for my car. Definitely will be booking my regular car services with Mangale Motors... thank you so much John and Jeff!

My truck has 360K miles on it and all the repairs were done correctly and professionally. Why am I…read morelowering my review? Simply because I was overcharged for a single part. I usually supply my own OEM parts for repair but decided to let Mangale order a fan clutch for my overheating F150. I asked about brands like Hayden and Four Seasons but was told they have had problems with these so I let the shop order whatever they recommended that works best. The Hayden, Four Seasons and Metrix (API) fan clutches are all under $60 on Parts Geek. My issue is I was charged $261 for a Metrix 1604-328141 Severe Duty (robbed 25hp). The same clutch is on Parts Geek for $59. That is a 444% mark up on this same part by the same manufacturer. My advice is to supply your own OEM parts. You will $ave in the long run. My second complaint is a bolt broke off on the thermostat housing while replacing the thermostat (corrosion). It happens and I get it. What I do not understand is how can extracting one bolt cost $750. I was charged 3.5 hours to remove one bolt. I feel like the problem was exaggerated to me verses buying a new manifold. I overpaid the clutch fan by $200. Then the bolt extraction should be 1-2 hours tops so I was overcharged $400 for that as well.
