Before I could make a decision, one of my rotors unfortunately snapped while driving, and I immediately called P&W. They ordered the parts the same day and had my car fixed within about 5 hours, replacing all four brake pads and all four rotors for around $1100. This seemed reasonable compared to the BMW dealership quote of $800 for just the rear brake pads alone. Dennis also did a thorough inspection, pointed out a few future issues to keep an eye on, and told me he'd keep everything noted in my file for when I'm ready to tackle those repairs. The team there was super communicative and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place if you need repairs.

I reached out with a question and got a quick reply right away. I stopped by during lunch on a weekday with no appointment, and Jonathan got me taken care of quickly and professionally. The whole smog check process was easy, straightforward, and had me back on the road in no time. The waiting area was also a nice bonus, with plenty of shade and a swamp cooler that made the wait comfortable, especially on a warm day. Friendly service, great communication, no appointment needed, and fast turnaround. I'll definitely be back when I need my next smog check.

The service was amazing, incredibly friendly and quick. I called in to see if they had any availability, and said to just come on by. Of course, in the 5 minutes it took for me to drive over there, a couple other customers got there first haha, but all good I really didn't mind waiting a bit. I can't remember what I paid, but I know for sure it was the best deal compared to all the other smog check businesses that I called. Both my car and my wife's car have to be smogged every couple years due to their age, so we'll definitely be back here soon. Thank you so much! Truly the best 5-Stars all around.

I never rate anything one star. I don't care even if I was treated horrible, because I understand…read morepeople have their bad days. But today I am truly disappointed. My uncle had been coming to Redbox to service his Honda for over a decade already, recommended me, and seeing the 4.2 star review that backed up this shop I was ecstatic. I had a very simple wiring issue, my positive terminal harness cable snapped. Bought a replacement for $25, easy job, but I had injured my thumb and my nail broke off. I figure I'll just come to my uncles recommended shop. First red flag, talking over you on the phone, I kept trying to explain the issue and the cause: my battery was loose, and snapped the wire, but the owner of the shop just kept cutting me off never letting me get there. I told myself it's fine, I get it we have a language barrier. It's the same thing with my family, no worries. I show up the next day, waved hi to the owner, we smiled, I walked up to the buzz cut Asian man, I told him exactly what I needed. He looks at the wire look at my broken harness and says," this is not the right part." He walks away handing me back my harness. I felt so stupid, so I started comparing the part to the car. it was the right part. I measured every single connection. I bought the god damn right part. I walked back to the Asian man, "hey I did purchase the right part" and he then he finally realized. Afterwards he hands the owner the wire, owner goes," Just f*king take off his fuse box and connect this there!" Walks to me "$120?" I say are you serious? "Ok Good Bye" waves me off and walks away laughing. That was the most disrespectful I've ever been treated by a mechanic. I stormed towards him but wary of his age, I calmed myself I asked him," why were you so nice on the phone, and very willing to work on my car with your son, but when I show up you give me this treatment?" He explains, " that is not the issue, we need to get paid, it doesn't matter how cheap you buy the part or from where, we need to get paid" I understand, it's a very simple job, I understand it's laughable, I understand the job is too simple, but I did not deserve that treatment. Nor does anybody else. Please improve your attitude, and competency.
