Brought my car here again a few weeks ago, this time for an AC diagnostic and Omar and Dave took care of me. Found the AC issue, replaced some o-rings, cleaned my throttle bodies and figured out my idle issues, all at an affordable cost. I will continue bringing my car here for any issues read more

Dave was helpful when i called to see about getting my O2 bong fixed on my CAT. Charged me $210. Got me in & out by lunch time. Recommend if you are looking for a honest mechanic. read more

Staff was Friendly and efficient. Pulled up and was done quick! Playing great music as well!

Didn't pass my smog check at a different place and got a referral from a friend to come here. I met with Dave and he looked at our test and found a simple easy solution hat didn't take more than 20 minutes to do. This place is awesome, Dave is super friendly and obviously knows a lot about cars! If I am ever in need of repair or tune up and in the area again I'll definitely be back here! read more

This place is awesome! Dave is one of the only mechanics I know that won't jerk you around or be shady. This guy is so honest! The guy is straight up and isn't out to rob you. I'm the kind of person that does not like other people working on my car, I mostly do all my own work because I obviously want to save money and am meticulous but this time with school and work I didn't want to screw with it. I had a thermostat housing bust on my 2004 Volkswagen GTI and I brought my car in the next day right when they opened to see if they could help me out. Dave totally took care of me! To fix this myself would mean a night of missed obligations, incorrect tools, a pissed off mood and possibly lost wages from missing work the next day. Dave got the car fixed before lunch and saved me a ton of money. I really got the sense that Dave is in it to take care of his customers, I saved so much hassle and money by taking it to this place that I'm writing a Yelp review (which is saying something). Just call him and you'll find out with one phone call. Cheers to this place! read more

David is one of the best mechanic, he's fair, understanding and is a start shooter. I would recommend his services to anyone. Five Stars!!!!

Just had a smog check at this location, and went to them because I noticed all the great reviews. I have 77 GMC Sierra Grande, so I was a bit nervous about whether it would pass, but was pleased that it did! Results may vary for others, as this is a legitimate business that seem to be up to standard, but I appreciated the professionalism of the staff. Thank you so much for your help! I'll definitely be recommending you for my family (we have several cars). :) read more

Dave was excellent in removing my resonators. Then Oscar helped me with smog. I will be back for anything. Thank you

THE BEST experience I've ever had while getting my car worked on. Dave's knowledge of automobiles is unsurpassed and I will NEVER trust my car with ANYONE else under the hood ever again. No job is too big for this shop, and the service you receive is top notch. I travel all the way from the San Gabriel Valley just to have Dave work on my car because he's honest, explains everything to where I can understand what's going on, and his work cannot be beat. There are two highly knowledgeable men who work at this shop, and yet and I'm still in and out of here faster than the dealership! His shop is definitely the best thing to ever happen to Rubidoux and I've referred my own family members his way - that's a level of trust that cannot be beat. read more

Dave at Rubidoux Smog &Muffler has been a trusted mechanic to my whole family for years. My father has a Mercedes, my brother has an S-10, my mother has a Corolla and I have a Mitzubishi. Anytime any of my family has a tune up or a major problem, we go right to Dave. He always gives honest and straight forward advice on our cars. And the quality of work is phenomenal. He never gives us the 'run around' and will do whatever the customer asks. He will always give you his honest opinion on what needs replacing or tuning. Finding an honest mechanic in this day&age is a rarity. With their broad automobile knowledge on several makes and models, we drive pass our own dealerships for quality work at an awesome, down to earth price. We refer as many people as we can & they always take good care of us. Would'nt dare go anywhere else! read more

My son brought his Protege5 to Dabe with a rusted exhaust system and Dave got right on it, said he'd seen much worse, and fixed it perfectly!! Dave makes you feel at ease with his forthright approach to customer care, he gets the job done and he does it right!! The best part is Dabe doesn't overcharge for his work and tells you everything you need to know about the repair on the fly.... Great Experience and Peace of Mind!!! read more

I went in for a smog check today with Max. It only took about 15 minutes. There was no wait either! Even got a $10 discount for mentioning yelp! Very fast and professional. read more

Took my car here for some repairs the ended up costing me $800! and when I got the car back I had more problems then I had before I took it into the shop! It has cost me an additional $500 since I got it back trying to correct the damage! read more

My step dad recommended Rubidoux Smog & Muffler as a very satisfied customer himself. I had previously taken my Toyota Corolla to two other mechanics for repairs, but was disappointed with their work, since my car was drivable, but not 100%. Dave and Kenny quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it while I waited. They are now my go to mechanics and I will recommend them to all my friends and family with the confidence that they will be as satisfied as I was. Thank you guys....... read more
