Once again, this place comes through when i needed a smog done on my car. This time they were less busy, and much quicker at acknowledging me. The smog tech Jerry was really nice, professional, and fast. We chatted about the industry and had a few laughs. In the end, im very happy with the service. The prices are competative as well. 5 stars!

Very honest mechanic. He didn't want to do any work that would cause me unnecessarily large amount of money. Was completely honest when he said the part MIGHT be the problem instead of going ahead and doing it without giving me the heads up. Ended up waving the diagnosis fee.

One of the best, honest, friendly, and knowledgeable group of mechanics I've encountered. Great work and pretty quick depending on availability of parts and what has to be done. Within a 2 week period, they fixed 2 of my cars. This is one satisfied customer. Will do business here again (as long as the few mechanics remain) -- hehe
Best well informed, honest, mechanics in the area.

5 stars for the cool mechanic who told me about a little known program called the Smog Check Consumer Assistance Program, which helps you if your car doesn't pass the "test only" smog test. The state of California will pay up to $500 of your repair costs that bring your emissions up to state standards. You have to pay a $100 deductible. The mechanic also gave me some pretty solid advice as to what to do to get an extension with the DMV while I wait for the application to be processed and the work on my car to be done. I should have got this man's name because he was so informative!
