I had an issue with my steering system and the shop owner Johnatan was kind enough to help me out. In only two hours he got it done and my car drives with no issues. Thanks to him. And highly highly recommend this place for any repairs. read more

Just drove in without an appointment to have our 22 year old BMW smog checked.. They went way above and beyond the call of duty, checked the tire pressure, filled us up with air and gave us windshield washer fluid. On top of that they have a really cute friendly dog to play with while you're waiting for your car :) A very friendly group of people and I highly recommend them! read more

Great place to get your car smog and serviced! Jonathan is very knowledgeable on cars and knows how to get the job done! I went to my usual smog car for years to get it done, but the one time I didn't passed, the other smog shop had no solution for me besides to get my O2 sensor and Catalyst Convert replaced but couldn't guarantee or sound confident enough in their answer... Before considering those options, I was referred by a friend to go see RC Hi-Tech and luckily spoke to Jonathan who tested my car and came up with alternatives/options to my problem. He informed me about the CAP program (Consumers Assistant Program) which I could apply to fix my catalyst converter and O2 at no cost to me, but before I did that, Jon advised me to drive the car for about 30 minutes to an hour and come back to see if my car would pass because sometimes the car just needs to be warmed up and cleaned out from all the build up and gunk in my car &&& BAM like that my car PASSED with flying colors!!! Thanks Jonathan and RC Hi-Tech! Save me a lot of time, money, and headaches. Definitely recommending this shop and Jon to everyone! #FiveStars read more

It was just by chance that I stumbled upon this business. I'm so happy I did! It's family owned and the service is excellent. I went in for a smog check and the mechanics also informed me of some things that required my attention. I'm not savvy when it comes to automotive parts, but all my questions were answered and explained in a way that helped me understand clearly before making any decisions. I felt comfortable and at ease knowing there were no surprises, just up front information. Thank you again for the great experience! P.S. There's also a very friendly dog that greets you as you wait. That's a bonus for me! read more

If your check engine light is on and you are getting emissions codes that no one else can figure out, RC. Hi- Tech is the place you want to go. Jonathan Chhean is the Manager and he knows his stuff when it comes to Smog testing and repair work. He also does other repairs, is honest and the prices are very reasonable. This is my go to place for Smog repair work. read more

Absolutely great repair shop! I brought my car in because I thought it had some battery issues that were draining it. Jonathan tried everything to diagnose it, even letting it sit for a few days in the lot (at my request), but couldn't find anything. He said to bring it back if there were any issues in the future. That might sound bad, but the fact that he didn't charge me for the effort, whereas other shops I spoke to would have charged $100+, definitely has me convinced that this is the shop for me! 100% I'll be coming back. read more

Needed a smog check like yesterday, so I looked here on Yelp and the first business was RC Hi-Tech! The attendant was super nice and introduce me to his beautiful dog. I advised him how I located their business and wanted to know if I could get the 5% Yelp discount and without a blink stated Yes! 45.00 and I was set in less then 15 minutes! Thanks for the great customer service read more

My car was misfiring. After going to 2 auto repair shops and leaving because of predatory prices because I'm a woman, I was RELIEVED to check out RC's. The owner is very clear, honest, and professional. He explained exactly what was wrong with my car. He charged me a fair price to change my spark plugs and to do an oil change. You may bring your own filter and car oil for a cheaper price. I got my car fixed the same day. Furthermore, there is English, Khmer, and Spanish spoken at this shop. There are 2 cute doggos to keep you company too as you wait. Overall, I am so happy to have finally found a mechanic who is transparent and reliable. read more

I can't praise enough. Friendly, awesome price and understanding when I had to tweak an appointment time. Great great job. I will be coming back for every problem in the future. read more

Best prices in town. Everyone who works there is very nice and I love the dog who plays with a frisbee. This is usually the shop I end up at because everyone else tries to rip you off but this place doesn't overcharge and have honest people working there. read more

I just want to say thank you for getting my Brake and Light inspection completed. I've been in the process of getting this done on my 1965 VW Bug. You made the inspection process easy. Oh course since it was completely restored your verification helped immensely. You and your employees are very friendly and your shop is very clean and orderly. Herbie rolls again!!!! read more

It would be helpful if the operators of this establishment knew how to read english. Due to their inability to do so, they erroneously disconnected the vacuum hose on my engine while running a test causing a "fail" immediately after a new exhaust system and catalytic converter had been installed in the vehicle. It was only after several hundred dollars spent and additional smog tests did the owner show me the specs (in his book) for performing the test. It was then that I pointed out to him that he was reading it incorrectly. "Oh so sorry..." That didn't get my money back or the time I and my mechanic wasted. Stay clear of this place! read more

Highly recommend this local family owned auto shop! Entire experience was easy and pleasant. The owner Jon was friendly, straightforward, and honest. He even showed me why the back rotors needed to be replaced and the front ones didn't. Brought my car in at 10am and the brakes were done by 230pm. This shop will not rip you off and does excellent same-day work at a great price. Exactly what I was looking for! read more

A couple of my good friends told me that I should take my truck to Jonathan . They both said they would not take the car any other place . They said he is honest , polite , fair and does good work . Not only is he honest ,fair, polite and does good work and he has a very clean and organized shop Let's not forget Toby the shop dog Real cool dog I won't take my car anywhere else read more

Recently got my car worked on here, was told I had an oil leak. Which I expected due to the symptoms I searched on google. Get it fix, thinking my car is fine. 4 days go by, I'm getting back from my night class at Cal State Fullerton. Oil was splatted all over the place under my hood, which lead to smoke from underneath the hood. I go back to see what's wrong, and was told nothing was wrong with the car. A week later my check engine light came on, took it in. Was told again nothing was wrong with my car. JUST last night, I come back from my night class. Same problem occurred. Oil splashed all over and some smoking.... I paid 1.3k to fix the oil leak, now I am having more problems with my car. It has never leaked and splash all over under the hood before I go it fixed the first time.... If I was back home in San Jose, my car would've been fixed on the first try.. Now I am a college student with a broken car and had to drop my class... Will never come back here, read more

This is the place to go if you have any car issues. Jonathan and his dad have fixed my car numerous times with different issues and they're always so helpful. I also go just for an oil change too, I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Friend of mine recommended this spot. Defintely a trustworthy and friendly place. Being a girl and not knowing anything about cars it helps to know that I have a go to spot. Where I know for a fact I'm not going to get ripped off and taken care of all at once. Not going anywhere else for my future car repairs. Also the shop dog is super cute and friendly. Give them a try! read more

The old man gave me the runaround and I ended up wasting an entire day waiting. IF you say you can do front wheel bearings, do the damn wheel bearings. I really think the old man backed out of the agreed price of $70. And to mention the language barrier. Won't recommend to anyone. read more

Jonathan was so helpful and upfront. As a woman who knows zero about cars and repairs I appreciated his professional approach and his honesty. I will recommend this place to everyone I know from now on:) read more

I bring all of my cars here to get smogged. The last time my car had some issues not connecting... he offered me another spot that could do my smog. I trust him and will keep coming back. Get your smog check here! read more

I cannot say enough good about this shop. They have worked on two of my vehicles, and have been very honest and timely. In fact, they even went as far as telling me I did not need to change my brakes, as they had plenty more miles of use on them, which was a pleasant save of money after their free adjustment. I have also suggested several friends to them, all of whom had equally as good experiences. read more

Best location to get your car worked on been here several times.. Prices are 50% or More Less Than Pep Boys ... Father and Son (Owners) are very great.. very Helpful read more

I took my car here a couple months ago to have my 2000 Toyota inspected. In order to pass the smog check, my car had to go through some diagnostic/repairs (check engine light was active). I was eligible to receive a $500 voucher through the Consumer Assistance Program (CAP). I took it to this shop and the owner advised that they could fix the issue. A day after the voucher was approved, the owner explained that additional work needed to be done. The additional cost was an extra $350 on top of the voucher, totaling $850. I was a little skeptical but went ahead and allowed them to make the additional repairs. And that was a mistake. After I received a call informing that the car was ready for pick up, the owner advised to drive another 50 miles (side streets and freeway) to see if the check engine light comes back on. If so, I should bring it back to conduct further diagnostics. After driving it for about 20 miles on the freeway (carpool lane) the car engine automatically shut down and was no longer operative. I had to push my car to the side of the freeway. (UNSAFE conditions). Towed it back to RC Hi-Tech and when I informed them about my car engine shutting down, the owner scratched his head and said that he will exam the car more thoroughly once his son gets back. At this point, I was pretty upset at the situation. After I got home, the owner called back and advised the engine is locked and the car can no longer be operative. Basically, the car is done! All he could say was "sorry." Very upsetting... a car that was working fine before drop off and now had to be salvaged. The cost to fix it exceeded the value of the vehicle so ended up donating it away. What a hassle! It is safe to say that I will NOT be coming here again. read more

Best place to get your oil change. 6th time changing my oil here. Always fast and easy. Wait time is usually 5-7min. Awesome guys. And very honest about everything. They also do smog check. Most places I've gone to takes a long time and the wait is ridiculous. But over here. It only took 10min. read more

RC Hi-Tech - Jonathan, the owner son changing the oil. He also does repairs and pretty much everything else. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Long Beach, California

Went here on a Friday around 11am. Needed to get a smog check at a place with STAR certification. My first time here. The whole process took less than 10 minutes. Think I was the only person there. The lady at the front desk and I talked about the Great Kershaw and the Dodger game this weekend. Simple, quick, friendly, convenient. I like all those things. And I passed my Smog Test! read more

I've taken many cars here for several years. very nice tech, really knows cars. didn't rip me off like a previous test only station. let's you know in advance if you need to fix something so you don't fail for something that can be fixed easily. (yeh the others do that. i had a check engine light on cuz i replaced a battery and needed to drive enough to reset the codes. rather than pay for a sscond retest, i took it here. he checked it first for me. i didn't know having cel was an automatic failure or i would've fixed first!!!! i drove about 10 miles to reset the codes, and passed cuz nothing was wrong with car, just jerks at the other test station. now i always come here. please go here, they are not trying to rip you off. read more

These guys do a great job so am surprised that they don't have a higher rating on Yelp. We have gone to them repeatedly over the years, even seeking them out in their new location. They have always been very efficient and professional. We last took our Jeep in for a Smog Check on 4/8/16 and we were immediately greeted by the original owner's son who was very polite and advised of the time needed for the inspection and then updated as it got closer to completion. We great confidence in them and if an opportunity presented itself for us to also bring one of our cars there for service, we would definitely do so. read more
