smog test
I came for a smog test. Very fair price. It was done very quickly and they even put air in my tires and checked my brakes at no extra charge. I will be back.

Excellent Service, honest price
I dropped in on a whim to see if they could service my 2018 BMW. They gave me an appointment the next day and had the service done in under two hours. The technician gave me a guess as to what he thought the issue was (and he was right), and they handled it all to my satisfaction. I give this place a 10 out of 10 and will be back!

Easy fix
I was worried my car would need replaced but auto repair specialist got my 97 Honda running line new for a couple hundred bucks.
Always an accurate diagnosis and reasonable repair price and timeframe.
I love them.

Regular service
They got my truck on time. People is very friendly and I waited in a very comfortable seat at the shop entrance until done. Quick service and very reasonable price.

Regular service plus wheel repair
Personnel is very friendly, the car was serviced very quickly, even with extra work like repairing a punctured wheel. You can wait while the car is serviced and that is a great plus. Most important, the price is very reasonable compared with the car dealer

Best place to bring cars
Humans, If you go to a dealership and like spending 200% more for same work done, and enjoy waiting all day for your car back, then I can’t help you. If you like to burn money and just throw it, then this article ain’t for you. But, if you like spending way way way less for same work done only better because it’s hard working mom and pop team working together where quality and pride go hand in hand, then this is where you come. I take my cars over the years only here . I could send my grandma in and get the same quote as if I went in ….. lucky to have a place like this, thank you Evener and Lindsey

Smog Check
Took my vehicle there for a smog check as I've done with all of my vehicles for the past 10-12 years. It had a check engine light on, they charged me for the smog check just to tell me that with the check engine light on, it wasn't going to pass smog and they won't offer a retest after the work is done. Definitely won't be going back here again.

John said they completed what he requested without him having an appointment. They did the work immediately and he was out the door in under 45 minutes. They're the best in the county for providing smog certificates.
