    I'm looking at the front door while sitting in my vehicle.
    Eric B.

    Yes, 5 Stars!!! Barry, the owner, and David, one of his best employees he has had over the years, will always make you feel welcome, even if you are a jerk like me and just "drop-in".... Recently (early August 2015) my wife purchased new "cheap" (no, they were really CHEAP) tires from a major national chain retailer who won't be named (tramlaw) but they sell clothes, groceries, and other cheap stuff from China..... (and Chinese friends, don't be "offended" my wife is Chinese, from Beijing, and she tells me all the time that a lot of stuff is "cheap".) Okay, anyways, on to the gist of what happened - my wife went back to that retailer 4 times to get those CHEAP tires re-balanced.... Finally, they refused to exchange the tires, they said her car's alignment must be "off" and for her to get her car realigned! WTF.... So, I told her to drop in on Barry, and see if he had time to re-balance the tires and check the Alignment on her car. She did, and Barry squeezed her in to his busy schedule, got her car's tires re-balanced, and checked the alignment - which for practical purposes was not "out" of alignment. Sure, he made a few minor tweaks - but he told me that those tweaks were not significant enough to caused the tire balance problems that Walmart's (oops, name slipped) Auto Techs were telling my wife was the problem!!! Barry was my wife's HERO!!! No, I'm not jealous.... yet. Seriously, Barry did an excellent job fixing the balance on those Cheap-ass'd tires - the very next day, my wife and I took off on a road trip to Eureka California (you've probably seen my reviews and check ins) and those tires were smooth as "butter" and stayed smooth, and as of this writing 2 weeks later - they are still smooth!!! Moral of the Story..... Barry will be helping us buy our next set of tires - yes, he can do that! But, if you have already purchased some CHEAP tires that are bugging you, go see Barry!!! Smooth Sailin' ~ Eric

    I love Barry's customer service he always recommend OEM parts because. You always get what you paid for. I always bring my car here for over 10 years now and Barry never let me down I'm so happy with your service..

    The 2 damaged lug nuts that they claimed they had no part in the cause of it from happening

    Great place, Dave and Barry are both honest mechanics. They won't sell you what you don't need.

    How much does an oil change cost?

    Can they issue a Brake and Lamp Inspection certificate? ($? I was referred and left a message but didn't hear back.)

    Yes they can. I just had my Toyota brake and lamp certificate issued Last week.

    Burlingame Smog Check

    (236 reviews)

    Don't let the green construction fencing prevent you from getting your car smogged...nice friendly…read moreservice, bring the online coupon and let them know before you start the process. Fast and efficient. I have used this business for years.

    Fantastic Experience with Older Car at Burlingame Smog!…read more This place is great, and their technician, Manny, is the best! Very highly recommended in every way, don't be put off if the phone call takes a few attempts. My old 1994 Dodge Intrepid had failed smog at a place in San Francisco. I took action to remedy the problem, ran fuel cleaner through it, changed the oil, put lower octane gas in it and replaced the spark plugs myself, making sure to gap each one very carefully. On the retest in San Francisco, the guy was continuously distracted and let my car idle for nearly an hour before doing the test. The car failed on the first low-speed test because the intake was too full of gasoline from idling too long, but it was fine on the high speed test which made me suspicious of the initial low speed run coming off of a long period of idling. I'm never going back to that place. Because I was raised in Burlingame, I decided to find a place here to do the smog test. A quick search turned up Burlingame Smog. The Yelp reviews looked good, so I called them up. Don't be dismayed if the phone doesn't pick up on the first try, this is a small shop, and Manny has to do double and triple duty. On my second call, it rang for quite a while, and then I noticed that Manny was calling me back while I was still on call waiting. When I arrived, everything was great. Manny was very friendly, and right off the bat, I could tell he was sharp. He immediately noticed my worn engine mounts and the very old rear tires that needed replacing (I had already ordered some). He even pointed out some signs of arcing around my spark plug wires where I had reinstalled them. Turns out Manny is also a mechanic and really knows what he's talking about! And, he cares! I told Manny about my experience in San Francisco--how the car had idled too long before the test--and he agreed that could have been the problem. He was very careful to make sure my car was properly warmed up and that any accumulated moisture/gas in the tailpipe was expelled before the test. Manny studied the results of my last three smog tests and knew exactly what to do to make sure my HC levels passed. To say he knows what he's doing is an understatement and he's a very nice guy! This was my best smog testing experience ever! Very highly recommended in every way, don't be put off if the phone call takes a few attempts. It's well worth the effort! Also worth every penny of the price, a bit higher than most, but well worth it for the professionalism and results!
