Waiting room
Macie M.

I called to see if they had time for a smog and arrived within 10 minutes and was assisted instantly. The gentleman who was helping me was very friendly and also kind to my son who was waiting very impatiently. The price was right and so was the wait. I would definitely return.

Long overdue review Charlie is super helpful, i've been going there for years and i take both my 4runner & bmw 328i there. He takes cash, cc, mobile too. Prices are best in value that I've researched and includes electronic submissions to DMV. You can even go even if you don't have the dmv smog test notice, he can look it up. The small plaza can get crowded but he manages to get you in and out pretty quickly. Overall, trustworthy and dependable too and he will be honest if he thinks you need to drive more to get a reading without taking your money n having car fail (although free retest). Give him a call first if you want to see if it's busy. I've recommended at least 10 people to go there over the years.

Went to Lincoln Smog check based of a referral and I have to say word of mouth is never wrong! Charlie was excellent provided amazing customer service very prompt and efficient. Out of a 1-10 I give Charlie a 12 as in he went above and beyond, this buissnes owner knows how to take care of his community and has a great positive attitude. It's rare when a buissnes owner takes the time to build a personal relationship with their client. Very heart warming and a perfect place to continue recommending to everyone in town even safe enough to send your grandmother and know she will be in great hands.

I'm from NorCal and ended up stranded in Anaheim when my engine completely gave out. Luckily, I…read morefound this auto shop nearby. They replaced the entire engine, and while it took about two weeks, they really came through. Naseem was incredibly kind--he even offered to help me get a hotel, which I truly appreciated. The team kept me updated and worked through all the issues with my car. A year later, my car is still running strong--honestly better than when I first bought it. Huge thanks to the team here.

I trusted this shop for 12 years, but this experience ended that relationship. I hope no one else…read morehas to go through what I experienced. My car was towed to Lawrence Auto Repair on 11/11/25 for installation of a used transmission with 78,000 miles. I paid $2,863.72 on 11/17/25, which included a 90-day warranty. On my drive home, the car immediately began jerking while cruising. I contacted Sam and was told to bring the car back. Because I was almost home, I returned the vehicle the following day. I was told the car would need to stay a few hours while they waited for a part, and transportation home was provided. Later that same day, I was told the car was ready. At that time, I was told the transmission was still not right but advised to drive it 300-400 miles and return if the problem continued. Not feeling comfortable with that advice, I took the car to a different shop on 11/21/25 for a 70-point inspection. That inspection revealed burnt, milky transmission fluid and metal on the drain plug, indicating internal transmission failure and contamination. After receiving this information, I immediately contacted Lawrence Auto Repair and requested a refund, as I no longer trusted the repair. Sam then offered to have the transmission rebuilt by another shop at no additional cost, with a 3-year warranty. I returned the car on 11/22/25. Sam was apologetic at that time. I picked up my vehicle on 12/5/25. The final invoice reflects a 36-month / 3,600-mile warranty. While the shop ultimately corrected the situation, this issue should never have occurred in the first place. While I appreciate the final resolution, this experience permanently damaged my trust.

I had a really great experience at this shop and honestly can't recommend them enough. A few weeks…read moreago, my catalytic converter was stolen, and I had it replaced at another shop. After that repair, my check engine light suddenly came on--even though it wasn't on before. The first shop told me it was a problem with the mass air flow sensor and tried to charge me to fix it, which didn't feel right to me. So I decided to come here for a second opinion, and I'm really glad I did. The mechanic took the time to properly diagnose the issue and walked me through everything step by step. Within about an hour, he figured out that it wasn't the air flow sensor at all--it was just a blown fuse. That alone saved me a lot of money and potentially from being overcharged elsewhere. What really stood out was the honesty and communication. He explained clearly what went wrong, didn't try to upsell anything, and made sure I understood the situation. On top of that, he even aired up my tires for free, which was a nice touch. Fast, honest, and affordable service like this is hard to find. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this shop to others.

Service requested was spot on, called for a used tired. Fair pricing at 60 otd, it was done…read moreimminent i came back. One of the fastest pit stops I've ever made in my life.

Can't say enough good things about Cypress Auto. They are always so friendly and always take care…read moreof the problem no matter what it is. Literally bring your car here for whatever your need is and save yourselves the hassle and headaches that other places cause. This team has help me so much since I've started bringing my car here for maintenance. They have fixed my engine for various issues, fixed tire issues and given me peace of mind every single time. The work is highly quality and never rushed. You and your car are not just another ticket to them, unlike other business. Highly recommend Cypress Auto!!!

This review is well earned by the sales rep Brian at the front desk. Calling Brian's customer…read moreservice one star is generous, to say the least. I came in today to get a quote for a check engine light related to an O2 sensor. Before coming in, I had already priced the part so I could confirm exactly what was needed. Prior to agreeing to the $200 diagnostic, I asked Brian whether any of that fee would be credited toward the repair if I moved forward. He told me that **half** would be credited, meaning $100, which I felt was fair. Based on that, I expected something close to the following: * Diagnostic: $200 ($100 credited) * Labor: $200 (install time is .9 hrs + 1 hr diagnostic) * O2 Sensor: $179 (the same OEM part costs $59.98 at any auto parts store) Brian then quoted me **$579 total**. When I asked about the previously mentioned diagnostic credit, he declined to honor it. I also asked if I could bring in my own part. That's when things really went downhill--and honestly, I wouldn't have posted this review if it weren't for what he said next. In a very belittling tone, Brian responded, *"Do you bring your own lunch to a restaurant?"* He then continued by saying the building costs $10K a month and that they're expensive because they can be. That may be true, but I'll never know--because I would never, under any circumstances, do business with someone who treats customers that way. Thanks for all your "help," Brian.
