    Clean and easy pass. Just not at STAR SMOG! Do not go there. They STILL have our money! A sham.
    Janelle I.

    WARNING, WARNING. NO REPAIR WAS NEEDED NOR PERFORMED BY THE MECHANIC!!! The car just passed at the next reputable smog station we went to. IF a repair had been necessary and performed we fully intended on returning to STAR but since NO REPAIRS WERE MADE it seemed like we had been scammed. Do not go here! On October 12, 2022 we took our 1986 Toyota 4runner to this 'Star" station. The Toyota has NEVER failed a smog in over 30 years so we were shocked when STAR SMOG said we failed the 'visual' portion of the test and that we needed a smoke test. So off we went to a mechanic to spend another $100. Mechanic performed a smoke test and checked evap canister stating sorry there is nothing in need of repair and suggested maybe going to a different Smog shop so we did even though it would cost more than the retrat at STAR SMOG. So off we went to ANOTHER Smog shop to spend ANOTHER $100 PLUS in hopes that that shop was more honest than STAR Per usual 4RUNNER passed with flying colors. So...this RIPOFF just wanted to charge us for a RETEST "for half-price" on return. NOT A CHANCE WILL WE RETURN HERE EVER! Oh and did I mention "STAR" also could not place our vehicle on his machine properly? Husband had to yell "hey, hey stop!" to let him know the back tire was NOT on machine. Next stop BAR- Bureau of Automotive Repair

    Long overdue on this review…read more Family owned and operated, I am embarrassed to say I can't remember any of their names this second except Max (cut me some slack, I'm sick in bed loopy off NyQuil) I saw some reviews on google of people complaining they couldn't be fit in an HOUR BEFORE CLOSING. That's because this Midas is always packed! Who the hell goes in to a mechanic shop an hour before they close? That's a d*ck move. This isn't Bed Bath & Beyond where employees sit on their phones all day. This is a place where physical and mental labor is taking place. I mean that in that best way possible, they provide honest service and work diligently until the job is completed. If you have the chance, make an appointment. If you can't make an appointment, do what I do, use their (after hours) drop off box located out front. There are envelopes with information you'll need to write in/notes section. I just dropped off my baby (4Runner) last night at about 9pm. They were booked throughout the morning BECAUSE PEOPLE USE THEM FREQUENTLY DUE TO HONESTY AND HARD WORK. So I was patient and received my phone call at 11am-ish. My car is now next up, Max always tells me when he believes can stand to be maintained for a little longer and what absolutely has to be replaced/fixed. This isn't a "shady" shop and I trust them completely. They've worked on over 5 cars for me. Everyone there is so nice and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I recommend this place to anyone in need of any form of mechanic work, it'll save you time and money. One more thing, I took my receipt from Midas and called around to see what people would quote me compared to them. I tried 3 other shops close to me, which shall remain nameless, all of which had prices $200-400+ for the same job. Take my word for it, check them out.

    The only people I trust with my car. I love then a nice family business and I never have to worry…read moreabout being ripped off. I come here for oil changes, tires, and even brakes. I work next door so I leave my car and it is a stress free process. Not a lot of businesses out there in the car industry that don't over charge as well as don't take advantage of people [girls] who don't know much about cars! Great job guys.

    I have been bring my vehicle to Mak's for years and my father had been for many many years. My Mom…read morewho still lives in the area always brings her car to Mak's for Smogs and oil changes. Mak the owner is wonderful. He is honest and straightforward. He has always given me good advice on what I need to do to get my car to pass. Few years ago my car barely passed and he told me to be sure to get a basic tuneup before the next smog or it wouldn't pass. I did and the car passed with flying colors. Yes it is a small place and you might have to wait a bit if there are people ahead of you but Mak is very efficient and quick so it shouldn't be that long. He will even advise you to start your car and get it good and warmed up for a few minutes while you wait just before he is ready for you. A cold car is more likely to fail than one that is nice and warmed up. I am just sad that the DMV made me go to a "Star" smog station, whatever that means, for my last two smogs. Mak's is a Smog Only station so I don't know why he wasn't on the list of "Star" smog stations.

The guy was super nice and said he can get me in right away and takes 15 mins max. They took my keys and drove it into garage and I was out the door within 15 mins.
