So easy and fast! Love you guys! I've been taking all my cars here for years! I'll never go anywhere else! Thank You

I took my car in for a sound I thought we heard and they couldnt find anything wrong. I've been to so many places where they find something wrong no matter what. Bryan called and discussed with me what he checked and that he didn't find anything. They didn't charge me which I feel so bad about because he spent his time and effort! Anyways, I figure a good review is the least I can do after being treated so well. read more

Honest good folks work here. Very fair prices. Good communication and advice. Thank you!!!

Very friendly and clean. Will recommend to friends and family. Happy customer. Got my smog checked quickly. Fair price. read more

Master Tech Smog & Repair - Destination themed art. Very cool. - Auto Repair Near Me - Carmichael, California

Go elsewhere. They don't know what they are doing. Wouldn't trust my car with them for smog or repairs. I took my car here. Was a customer, even if they want to deny it on yelp... and they refused to do work on my car due to its age. The shop was completely empty and I had to wait for nothing. My vehicle left their shop broken. There are better and more honest shops in Carmichael than master tech. I took my repairs elsewhere and got much better service. read more

My '09 Accord has almost 250,000 miles on it and runs strong. Check engine light came on months ago. I took it to my local Honda dealer service department and they ran their diagnostic (almost $200). They told me I needed a new catalytic converter and O2 sensor for around $4000. With Christmas coming, we couldn't throw $4000 at a car with a quarter million miles on it, with zero guarantee it would pass smog even after spending all that money. I prayed, then searched the web and found Master Tech. Brian at Master Tech ran their diagnostic ($160) and said I was almost 2 quarts low on oil, had a radiator leak, and an air hose was cracked and I needed to replace the hose and air filter to get an accurate reading about the cat converter. $180 parts and labor later, the check engine light was off and the cat was within acceptable range. Took it to a Star smog station right then and passed smog. Including the smog check and the certificate, I'm approximately $405 all in, when the dealer said $4000+. The whole day felt like a real "God" thing. He put this place in our path when I prayed and did that web search. Their name kinda says it all, "Master Tech." These guys are great at what they do. Go see them first. read more

They got skills :) They're friendly, timely, and I value their recommendations when it comes to maintaining and fixing my 3 vehicles and my daughter's car. I'm so glad we found them. read more

Super fast and helpful. Great deal for my smog check. I have definitely found my new go to place.

Smog Check, we are new to town and needed to get the cars smogged for Ca registration, friendly, quick service reasonable rate. I appreciate how the rates were posted and visible for the customer. read more

I called three places, and this was the least expensive one for my smog test. No need to pay more when this place is affordable and very fast. I called ahead to make sure they weren't busy before I went. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. read more

I have been coming here for years. Brian is great and very knowledgeable. Most important is that the shop is ethical and provides great customer service. As long as Brian and Shannon run this shop, I will keep coming back. read more

In and out in no time for my smog certification! Friendly staff. More Affordable than most places!

I was browsing around for cheap price for my smog certificate and found this little spot on yelp, first time here, reasonable price with fast service and Fast respond from the owner! I was there 15 minutes no wait or whatsoever, they have a little waiting area with tv and Great Wall decor from different states (that's awesome). Thinking about getting my brake service I think I will go back, they are a little busy today to check my break. (I am now looking for a trusted shop to do it). Couple shop I've been are not honest I am hoping they will provide a good honest service :). Thank you:). read more

Hands down the BEST!! Great service and workmanship, honest and just super nice ! They tell it like it is and have an impressive turnaround time read more

UPDATE: Another issue I had repaired here twice (and paid for twice) has now recurred, despite only having put a couple thousand miles on the vehicle since then. Also still waiting for an email back regarding the exact work done to the vehicle so I can relay it to my new mechanic and actually get these issues fixed correctly and permanently. Go elsewhere. read more

Delightful experience Wonderful family business. Used for Smog but will come back for other services read more

3rd time brought vehicles in. Extremely happy with work done. Had oil change done on 2014 Accord LX. Didn't know that they can change out spark plugs too. I asked and it was added on. Accord runs super smooth now. Great family run business. Highly recommended! Not going back to Auto Lube Express in Elk Grove. Those guys annoyingly try to up sell me on everything. Would rather have skilled Master Technician look at the car and not sell me on things I don't need. read more

I've had my cars and diesel truck smogged here for years. Not only do they have the best prices in town but they are also a small family owned business. I have recommended Master Tech smog to my family & friends because I trust ​their work. read more

I ended up at Master Tech instead of my usual smog place for obvious reasons "Price". I was looking through my trusty Yelp app looking for yelp deal for smogs and saw Master Tech is offering $25 smogs before certification price. I couldn't pass that deal up plus reading many of the positive reviews from reliable yelpers, how could I pass this up? At my Normal place I go to I pay $45 for my smog before Certification fee's and electronic fee to DMV. I walk in and it's a packed house is this place major good sign. I was helped by the owners wife, I forgot her name but she's really nice and professional and I love her little Yorkie, Bailey. Silly me I forgot my DMV registration, which I never forget and she was able to pull up my information from my Insurance... yay! I would have hated to have had to drive all the way back home...lol! I filled out some paperwork, asked how would I like to pay and told it would be about a 15-20 min wait. Less than 8 mins later, yes I was counting the minutes my car is finished and passed! I pay and and off I go. This is probably one of the friendliest smog places I've been to the staff isn't dry or rush you in any way. I'd definitely come here again for my smog. Thank you, Master Tech for making my experience a good one. You are now my go to smog station! read more

I came in to get a smog and upon first impression the office is super comfortable and welcoming, the receptionist was also very nice. It's was super simple and easy, they took my truck back right away and was done in about 15 mins. I would definitely return!! read more

I was having trouble passing smog on my 2007 Hyundai Santa fe and needed a complete diagnostic in order to take it to Smog Referee since they no longer make a Catalytic convert for that year and I can not find a replacement anywhere. They spent more time trying to see I if they could fix the problem which they did not really need to do. GREAT guest service! I will definitely be coming here with all my cars in the future! By the way....the diagnosis was perfect in order to get the help I needed for Smog Ref! read more

Just got my car smogged. Great experience. With a coupon from Yelp it only cost me $45. I walked in and 20 minutes later was done. Nice people and cute little dog in the office. read more

If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic. This place is it! I've never left this place disappointed. Brian always gets the job done, gives the best advice and actually explains to you whats going on with your vehicle.

Had problems down the street at VIP smog, master tech got me an appointment the following week. Amazing customer service and great communication. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TAKING YOUR VEHICLE ANYWHERE ELSE! $50? Cheapest and fastest smog in town! Cannot say thank you enough! read more

I was in and out so fast with my smog certificate! These guys really know what they're doing. Highly recommend!

Polite, staff and efficient service. Always honor the appointment time. I bring my cars there every two years for the smog check and they do not disappoint. I have not had the need to have any service on there, but if it came up, I may give them an opportunity to work on my car. Convenient location, and good value. read more

This is my 3rd time here and always my place to go whenever I need smog test done. Fast and reliable service! Great customer service!

I have a 2004 Chevy Canyon truck with many problems. I am old can't remember mechanics name (sorry) he bent over backwards to fix everything that was wrong, some of it was not sensible to repair, he even fabricated a part he could no longer get (WOW). They are friendly, professional, and through, could not have picked a better place. I see now why the reviews are all so stellar they deserve everyone of them, I will be using them everytime I have a problem, oil change, or smog check, Thank you all for restoring integrity in small business. read more

Brian and his staff are always helpful, friendly and great at what they do. I've never even used their service for my own vehicle but my mom and has been going to them for years and I'm the one that picks her up/drops her off so I hear everything that's said to her. I'm consistently impressed by their willingness to help with any issue and the patience they have with every question. read more

Fast and efficient smog check and charged less than other places where I have had this done.

This place deserves a zero star. I had an appointment for over a week. I dropped my car off at 8:30am. 4 hours later, they hadn't even touched my car for an oil change and smog. The mechanic argued with me saying he never said how long it would take. I would never recommend this place. The ladies in the office are kind. The mechanic has sh*t for brains and has horrible customer service skills. I wouldn't trust him with my car for a second. Your reply is unjustified. You held my vehicle hostage for 4 hours. You offered poor service then you offered attitude. No amount of cameras can save this poor review that you deserve. read more

Once again Master Tech knocked it out of the park. Master tech has always been fair and honest. They do great work and its nice have the feeling that you are in good hands when you drop your vehicle off there. Keep up the great work! read more
