    Needed a Smog Check at a STAR location and found they offered it. When I pulled up the parking lot was full and it looked super busy. Thankfully I went inside anyway and noticed they were a well oiled machine. Multiple cars were being tested and checked out quickly! At first, I was afraid I'd be stuck there forever, but it was quick, efficient, and painless!! Thank you so much!!

    I had a Toyota hybrid Highlander 2010 smog test done and it took 15 minutes. So fast! Bringing your paperwork makes things go alot smoother they told me. They have 2 seating areas. A soda machine in one. It's a very busy place but there were 2 testing the vehicles. I was very happy with how quickly I got everything done!

    I needed to get my car smogged and was recommended by jiffy lube to come here. Upon arriving I handed my key over and went to wait in the seats spread out in their parking lot. It took around 35 minutes. The actual smog test took 10 minutes but there were maybe 3 people before me. It can get busy but the service is fast. I'd come back again. Good price and friendly staff.

    Smog Tech gets pretty busy but they work fast. Average wait time is 30 minutes or less. They are friendly, fast and diligent in handling their work. It's not a fancy place but there is comfortable seating inside and outside the business. I came in to get a smog check for my vehicle to renew my car registration. I paid a total of $68. The inspection was $59.75 and the certificate fee was $8.25. They electronically send your smog check results to the DMV.

    See all

This place charges $138 for a smog check if your car is older than the year 2000 and refuses a free smog check. I called to confirm pricing on Friday and they stated $48 for the smog check and a free retest. I even confirmed online. I come in, and he quotes me for $138 and did not explain anything to me prior. He told me to take a seat and started to work on my car without telling me the breakdown. I paid $138, with no free re-test and they failed my smog. My car does pass smog but because they couldn't find the label on my Cadillac converter confirming its model, they failed it. No other smog place would ever fail that car. The emissions were perfect but because THEY couldn't find the label, they didn't want to pass it. I feel, they intentionally failed my car to get my money and for me to come back to spend another lump sum. Never go here. You'll be better off going down the street. Truly.

    I came to visit RC Automotive because of a repair accident that occurred at another repair shop…read more Even though it was late afternoon like 6 p.m. when I first visited, Ken welcomed me warmly without showing any discomfort, and he explained the condition of my vehicle and the necessary repairs in great detail and with honesty, which gave me a great sense of trust. What I found particularly impressive was that he did not simply stop at repairing the car, but also took the time to think together about the issues that came from the previous repair accident as if it were his own matter. I was also very satisfied with how he did not recommend unnecessary repairs and accurately addressed only the necessary parts, and how he suggested reasonable options when it came to parts. The work was carried out very cleanly, and although the vehicle was already in good condition before the accident, it is now in an even better state. Ken also provided a separate warranty for the work that was done, and afterward actively checked on the condition and helped with continuous follow-up management. Since my first visit, I have visited several more times, but not once have I doubted his professionalism and skill. I plan to continue bring my BMW here for maintenance, and if you are looking for a mechanic with a high level of understanding not only of German vehicles but of automotive repair in general, I believe RC Automotive will be a choice you would satisfy. 타 정비소의 정비사고에 의해서 RC Automotive를 방문하게 되었습니다. 처음 방문했던 날 늦은 시간임에도 불구하고 싫은 내색없이 반갑게 맞아 주셨고, 차량 상태와 필요한 정비 내용을 아주 자세하고 솔직하게 설명해 주셔서 큰 신뢰가 갔습니다. 특히 인상적이라고 생각했던건 차량을 수리하는 것에 그치지 않고, 이전 정비 사고로 인해 생긴 문제들을 마치 자신의 일처럼 함께 고민해 주셨다는 점입니다.. 불필요한 수리를 권하지 않고 필요한 부분만 정확하게 봐주시는 점, 그리고 부품에 있어 합리적인 옵션 제시해주신 점도 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 작업도 깔끔하게 진행되었고, 사고 이전 차량상태가 양호했지만 지금은 훨씬 더 좋아졌습니다. 사장님의 작업 내용에 대해서 따로 워런티를 주셨고, 이후에도 적극적으로 상태를 확인해 주시며 지속적인 추적 관리까지 도와주셨습니다. 첫 방문 이후 추가적으로 여러번 방문 했지만 단 한번도 그의 전문성과 실력을 의심한 적이 없습니다. 앞으로도 차량 정비는 계속 이곳에서 맡길 생각이며, 독일 차량 뿐만 아닌 정비 전반에 대한 이해도 높은 사장님을 찾으신다면 RC Automotive는 후회없을 선택이라고 생각합니다.
