They go out of their way for me and so do i! I have had auto shops turn me away because they can’t figure out what these guys can figure out!

Great guys. Pre-checked my car before the smog check because I recently had a check engine light. Found that the light hasn't cleared. Saved me $80. More of a human being than a mechanic.

I recently took my car in to Sam at the recommendation of a friend, and I wish I would have done so sooner. After incurring a substantial bill for car repairs and then continuing to have issues, I went to Sam for a second opinion and diagnostic. Within 24 hours he discovered serious problems with my car and instead of allowing me to continue to sink more money into it he was honest and gave me sound advice. He also provided me with a loaner car at no charge, which is a rarity anymore, and something I value and appreciate since I have only one means of transportation. I will be taking all my future

Sam at Sun City is the real deal. Fair, honest and trustworthy. I've had 2 older cars 150k+ miles and he's taken care of me and the cars- EVEN telling me to wait on a repair to save money.

I'm a widowed single Mom, I don't know everything about cars but Sam does and I know i can trust him. He's fast, doesn't over promise, won't give you the run around and follows up with quickness.

Just bought a new car and before I pulled the trigger called him for his thoughts - he's that good!

In response to the owners message, you and your co-worker were horrible to me, you guys weren't doing anything at all and as soon as I got out my car the guy said I couldn't park there. You then came out and attacked me as well.

What kind of sense does it make to keep saying "why?" 7 times as you wrote? I'm a person who know's how to articulate myself. You guys clearly make it a habit to protect your precious parking spots like that.

Thank you very much for reading my other reviews because I write about how other establishments such as your mistreat people.

Coming here for years. If it weren't for these guys, my 16 year old car would not be still chugging along. In addition to technical expertise, you will find honesty and fair pricing here. What a rare combo!!!!

Was referred to Sam at Sun Smog and everything as promised. $20 discount with check-in for Star Certified smog check which is a great rate. Will use them for future work, shop is clean and they seem to be very fair and efficient. Thanks again Sam.

The engine on my Prius (160k miles) was running rough, misfiring. I took it to another bigger shop first, and they said it would be at least $1k to take everything apart and clean the problematic valve and replace gaskets.
So I took it to this place for a second opinion. When I pulled up, I was skeptical because it's a small smog place in the back of a gas station.
But I was really happy with the service I got. They cleaned the EGR tube and inlet and tested the engine extensively to make sure the issue is fixed. He explained everything he did in detail, have advice on how to take care of it

Great experience with a Smog Check. 30 mins in and out. I also got a $20 off discount from the Yelp check in.

Smog tech doesn't know what he is doing. He tested my egr incorrectly and failed it. He was too lazy to check on line to see that my catalytic converter is legal. My truck passed with flying colours at the next shop I visited because the tech was well educated. Don't go to this shop.

Sam and the rest of the crew always do a great job. My family and I bring all of our vehicle repairs and maintenance here because they always do an excellent job and almost always beat out competitor's prices. Sam, Joel, Lok, and Eddie all contribute to make a great team of honest hard working guys who will I will always trust with anything car-related. 10/10 would recommend any day of the week!

Great service by a few nice guys.
They were quick, explained why they were looking at certain items on my truck. They even had no issues with my aftermarket In-take System, seeing as my licenses for them where easy to see. Don't get me wrong they looked them up. However they also pointed out to me where they show up on the smog report. That's customer services.

Thanks again I'll be back

We have so many options for smog certificates, but Sun Smog and Repair is the best. Sam and his team are very professional and efficient - and I really enjoy Sam's customer service skills and management. They do a great job so I highly recommend them!

"Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, overall great service."
I bring both of my BMW's to Sun for regular services - oil changes, brakes, etc. I had a battery issue a few years ago and they took the time to research the problem to find that the light in the trunk was staying on and draining the battery. In addition, the wiring to the lights was being slowly sliced by the hinge on the truck. They re routed the wiring, replaced the battery, alternator, and fuses and everything was back to working properly. I don't know of any other garage that would have gone to the lengths they

My battery run down overnight and couldn't start the car in the morning. I called Sun Smog and they came to our house immediately and started the car for me. It was that easy. I really appreciate their help and can recommend them to anyone in need.
Thank you Sun Smog!

This was my second time a Sun Smog, and they did a good job. Sam has 3 mechanics working at the shop, and they did a good job on the repairs. The prices are fair, and they fixed the problems the first time. I've been to this place before, when it was owned by other people, but only for smog tests. Sam took over the business a few years ago, and is dedicated to making the customer happy. I'll be bringing my car back in for smog, and repairs. It's great to find a good repair shop near my home.

Sun Smog was awesome. I had a flat tire and called Sears auto repair to see what the wait time would be they quoted me three hours I then went to sun smog and it was done in 20 minutes and the guy was so polite and nice!

A couple of weeks later, the "low air pressure" light kept appearing on my car -- we filled the tires up twice, and one day later, the light appears again. I took the car back to Sun Smog, albeit a little frustrated/upset that I felt the hole was not repaired correctly. The guy agreed to try to patch the hole again. When I offered to pay at the end, he would not accept
