    Sour smog balls candy!
    Dean W.

    Despite still being only single-digit old, my car is at that age where I received the first Smog check notice on my DMV renewal form. Of course I knew exactly where to take him to get the smog check done - Just Smogs! Setting up an appt. was easy - I was able to book one for the following morning - over the phone. You don't need an appt., but I didn't want to risk a long wait since I came on a holiday. Was in and out in about 20 minutes, and had the paper certificate in hand to take to AAA. Just Smogs will also electronically submit the results to DMV, if you're going to renew through DMV. Danny (the owner) has definitely upgraded his lobby since almost a decade ago when I was last here with my old VW. The aquarium is still missing fish (lol), but there's a big screen TV, more seating and reading material, charging station, coffee machine & water setup, as well as a sort of a museum of older trinkets and antiques. They even sell wipers and smog candy! Amusing way to pass time while waiting for your service to be done. Cost ranges from $54 to $60 ish dollars - there's a $5 off coupon on their website, but Yelp check-in gets you $12 off (as of this posting, subject to change). Still, a great value when you take into account the cleaner, modern facility, spacious and interesting waiting area, friendly team. Thanks again Danny & Co. for the great smog check experience - see y'all in two years!

    Phone chargers!

    Free drinks. clean bathroom. Bamboo toilet paper. chargers for phones. Waiting area is clean, quaint, and comfortable. It can get warm but fans helps to keep area comfortable. Yelp $12 off coupon is a big plus. Mitch was polite and professional. Will return. For now older cars or car that have not been driven a lot use a OBD ll to make sure you pass before taking it in to test.

    Wow, first thank you Yelp for being a site where you can turn to for referrals…read more Now let me tell you my AC stopped working in my 2017 Escalade. After reviewing a few companies on Yelp, I felt the need to call. Francisco answered the phone and listened to what I was experiencing with the AC. I booked an appointment for the next morning. The shop was busy and I waited my turn in line. A few of the customers that I saw coming in had been in before for other reasons and obviously had a positive experience because they felt like they knew Alba and Francisco really well and trusted the team. Within a few minutes, my car was being looked at. I took a walk around the park, which is very close by and came back in 30 minutes and they assessed that I need a new compressor. Luckily, before I got back, Alba had already ordered it, and it was on its way taking about 30 minutes to get there. A price was quoted, and it was fair and reasonable. Because it was gonna take a few hours, my wife picked me up and we ran some errands. I received a call and it was from Alba around noon. He said they installed the new one and took it for a test drive. It worked good for a few minutes then stopped. He assess the problems already ordered a new one and said he'll have it done before the end of the day. I received a call around three saying the car will be done by four so at 3:30 I headed to the shop. The car was waiting for me out front. Alba took the time to explain what it happened. He also went above and changed many of the fittings as he seen problems with them before. He even changed one of the belts that control the compressor at no charge. Alba and his team are truly a rare find. Noticing all the workers were always engaged and working. They really have a good team. Well, in the lobby, there was a sign on the wall I read I wish I took a picture of it, but I didn't. It spoke to listen to the customer write down the problem. Assess the situation and determine the solution and communication with the customer. You can tell that this establishment embodies that culture. They do more than just AC as I heard other people were in there for brakes and other things. I definitely will recommend this company to my friends and family. This is an honest Repair shop that goes above and beyond. And towards the end, I realized they were AAA approved.

Because of those experiences, I had no hesitation calling them to schedule a transmission fluid service. Over the phone, I was quoted $350 for the transmission fluid change. After I dropped off my vehicle, I received a call from an employee named Alba informing me that the price had increased to $756. When I politely asked why the quote had nearly doubled, instead of receiving an explanation, the conversation became hostile. I told him that the new price was not what I had been quoted over the phone and that I felt I had been misled. He responded by saying, "There's no crime in lying. Where's the law about lying?" He then told me to "pick up your car and get the f*** out of here."

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH GUSTAFSON BROTHERS!…read more After my car was hit by an uninsured driver, I was so stressed and terrified that because my car is older, it would be totaled and I'd suddenly be stuck with a car payment. Gustafson Brothers was AMAZING! They walked me through every step, kept me updated throughout the process, and made a stressful situation so much easier. Best of all--they didn't total my car! Thank God! They repaired it beautifully and had it back to me in less than two weeks! They even let me leave my rental car at their shop when I picked up my car and offered to return it for me. Talk about going above and beyond! Wonderful work, wonderful customer service, and people who truly take care of you. I HIGHLY recommend Gustafson Brothers!

    1 star I will never…read morebring my car back here. I brought in my Mercedes S63 AMG for service (previously serviced here without issue) and authorized about $10-11k in recommended work. I was promised completion Thursday, then Friday -- and late Thursday was told they'd broken a turbo-related component during the repair (which they acknowledged and said they'd cover). Then the replacement part turned out to be wrong for my VIN. Because of the repeated delays I had to change my Orlando flight at a cost of about $1,300, and my brother's plans to use the car for his engagement proposal that weekend fell through entirely. Nearly two weeks after drop-off, I finally picked up the car and paid over $9,000. They'd knocked off a few hundred dollars and thrown in a free detail/engine steam clean I never asked for -- not what I wanted. I asked for a $1,000 adjustment given everything I'd been through; they offered $250 and wouldn't budge. I got in the car to leave and the check-engine light came on immediately. They first told me that was "impossible," then hooked it up to diagnostics and said they needed to keep it again. During this conversation I was told "facts don't care about feelings" when I explained how poorly I felt treated. They ultimately claimed a separate, pre-existing oil-wicking issue in the wiring harness/PCM -- unrelated to what they broke -- despite having driven my car roughly 50 miles during their "verification," and despite the light being off when I dropped the car off. They encouraged me to get a second opinion. I did -- Beach Benz reviewed the paperwork and flagged concerns before even inspecting the car. Bottom line: broken part, blown deadlines, a very expensive travel disruption, $9k+ paid, and I still drove away with a check-engine light and an unresolved problem. I won't be back.
