    Extremely expensive place for smog check- was charged $108! Smog test was done fast, but you better find cheaper place somewhere else.

Price is competitive, and I employees were friendly, helpful and patient. Highly recommend.

    I didn't take pictures, as this smog and repair place is just located at a Chevron gas station…read more Well, I actually did take a picture, but there were people in it that might not want to be part of my review and it honestly didn't show much, but not having a good photo didn't seem like a reason not to leave a 5 star review for a good local place who provided really good service. We had to take our Prius in for a smog check (why though, it's a Prius!) and I called in to to make an appointment, which was easy to do. When we arrived, they told us where to position our car, asked for the DMV paperwork, and quickly went about performing the smog check. They performed it quickly, did it for a transparent fixed price (some places charge more for certain cars, including Prius's, which seems strange), and got us on our away quickly. The price was reasonable too - about $60 all in. They pointed us to some chairs where we could sit and wait while they did the test - nothing fancy, but it's good to have an option to sit. For whatever reason, smog checks are something I kind of dread, even though it's always painless. Having a local place that can do this quickly and efficiently for a reasonable price is always worth calling out.

It's only a couple blocks up from 17 (85 and 280 are a quick drive once on 17), so it's an easy location to get to off of the freeway. When you go there you don't need to go into the Chevron store. You can walk up to the garage and someone will greet you there. They have a small area with seats too if you choose to sit but the process is quick, so you can easily stand outside and wait if you want. It's a first come, first serve walk-in type of location. And it moves quickly. It is also a Star Certified shop, so if the DMV is requiring that you get a more rigorous, certified test completed on your car this place will work. The guys working there are super friendly and the service is fast. And the shop is clean. I originally sent out a request via Yelp! to get pricing and they responded in less that 5 minutes. Going through Yelp! is also a good way to go because they offer you a discount when you reach out to them via the Yelp! app/website. When they finish they said the results would be accessible by the DMV within a couple of hours. There were two people in front of me but despite that I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. I would definitely recommend this place and I will utilize them for our other cars.

    Welcome to California? $60 smog check?! Takes 15 min? Not my best smog experience but maybe this is…read moretypical to Calif as I'm coming from Nevada.

    Rude service and bizarre experience -- would not recommend!…read more This gas station is shut down and now just a smog/mechanic. Review is for smog station. Had one of the strangest experiences ever trying to get a simple smog check done on my daughter's Miata. TL;DR: Extremely rude attendant. I ended up stopping the test, requesting a refund, and leaving. First and last time here! I would give zero stars if I could. Take your car somewhere else! I arrived and had to search for the attendant, found him hiding in a corner after searching around. He told me to scan the QR code on the wall, paid for the smog by scanning the QR code as instructed by him. $158! which was very expensive but I paid to get it done/over and the Miata is old (1992) so I know it's more more than just plugging into the OBD. After waiting for a while he comes out and says "the idle is too high". He ask me to take a look and I know that usually it's because the AC is turned on that the revs go up (It's a 1992 Miata with all of like 115hp). I look into the car and press the AC button to check since he called me over. Everything seems fine, he says ok, revs are down. I walk back out. A few minutes later he comes out and is visibly upset. Raising his voice, scolding me because he has to start the test over and now it will take more time. He goes back to do the test again. We step out to grab water down the street since the waiting area is basically unusable (the office looks completely torn up). While we were at the intersection, he came running over, yelling at us from across the street. When we got back, he continues lecturing me about pressing the AC button and said he will now do another car before mine -- all while acting like this was some outrageous situation. At that point I had enough (and scolding for a grown up man just trying to get a smog check done) so I ask him if we can just do a refund and I'll go on my merry way to get it done some other place (A place where I will not feel like a delinquent school boy). The "gentleman" suddenly can't do anything and says to just call and ask for a refund from "The Company" that did the smog. I ask him who? Didn't you just do the smog? I did call "The Company", and thankfully they were responsive and processed the refund quickly (supposedly within 10 days). My wife, who is about as calm and easygoing as they come, was equally shocked by how rude and unprofessional the whole interaction was. Negative 5 stars for the "gentleman" attendant and his POS attitude. Positive 4 stars for the quick response and help when calling for refund. Lets see if I get that refund on time.....

AAA gave me a jump but my A/C, dash and power windows and stereo wouldn't work. The AAA towing guy said it was my alternator. I didn't want to drive back over the hill with a bad alternator so I started calling auto shops around where I was that were actually open on a Saturday. I called and spoke with Gary. He got my information and was able to find an alternator for my Hummer H2 (OEM at that) and said to bring it in and I could be up and running in two hours. I dropped off my car and went to the pizza place next door to eat lunch and wait. A little while later I got a call from Gary and he said that the issue wasn't my alternator at all. It was my string of lights zip tied under my car connected to my battery. The light strip had come down and was dragging on the ground and essentially shorting out my battery. Once he disconnected it from my battery everything started working again. The level of detail they went into to find the true issue vs just putting in an alternator was very impressive and just shows true integrity and customer service. I wish I lived near by them cuz I would definitely make them my primary mechanic. For anyone looking to bring your car in for work, just know you are in good hands. I highly recommend them.
