I DO NOT recommend this place AT ALL. AVOID this place at all cost if you could especially by a gentlemen with long hair he is just unprofessional. Took my truck for break and light inspection. He initially told me couple items I need to get repair (fog lights and lic plate lights which was fine not a problem). Then a few minutes later after fixing that he came back with more items just like if he was MONEY HUNGRY trying to get every little single item he could find to CHARGE MORE $. You supposed to do the inspection first, get ALL the items to get fix and then talk to the customer. I ended up

It was fast & convenient, as I was needing a smog check to register my new 2020 vehicle at the DMV across the street.. Quite unnecessary I think, but it's what the DMV wanted.

The reason for the rating is due to its pricing of $65 for something that didn't even take more than 10 minutes. Other places will do it much cheaper.

Also, guy didn't want to tell me the price until he drove my car into the back, so that he could secure the service.

Jerry explained everything to me. The price was very fair. Courteous and professional service. They replaced my clutch on my Honda Civic and it drives like a new car now !

Very convenient location if you need a brake and light inspection for DMV purposes as they are across the street from the DMV office. Got my check done in about 15 minutes drove over and got my car registered.

He was reliable, fast and a such a fair price! I actually called around to a few different places. Not only was this place the best price I found but the gentleman who helped me was also so kind and professional. I would definitely recommend!

If you’re looking for a service you can refer to as “My mechanic for years” and check off your to-do list Jerry and his team are transparent and overall quality .

So nice to find and honest business that will not try to upsell you on unnecessary services. Jerry is super nice and will take the time to explain everything to you. Had my daughter's car fixed here after it wouldn't pass smog. Very reasonable price for everything I had done to her vehicle. I'll be back!

Good prices just come with time. This shop is usually busy when I come for my oil changes but the prices are worth the wait. I'd recommend.

Very impressed with the manner in which the Smog test was conducted. Spoke to the manager over the phone prior to me visiting the business, he was very polite and courteous and gave me a clear turn around time for the completion of the test. Upon driving up to the business I was immediately greeted and checked in, I was informed that it will take 30 minutes at the most to complete. Time taken to finish the test was less than the estimated time provided. Service was quick and fast and customer service was outstanding. Would highly recommend this business and definitely convinced me frequent this

Staff didn't wear a mask inside when we were discussing about options so when I asked him to do so, he got upset and walked out on me. The owner was nice but we got spooked and don't think we'll come back here.

I gave this business a call because of the very GREAT reviews and some man answered the phone and when I asked for Jerod he said there is no one there by that name. I asked who the Owner is.. he very "sketch!!!" asked what is this about?????? I replied business and I found this on Yelp, now can you tell me who the owner is??? After hesitation and a pause I truly said Omg forget this and hung up. VERY VERY CREEPY!! Maybe this has been sold but VERY UNFRIENDLY VERY EVASIVE AND NO WAY WOULD I TRUST MY CAR HERE!!! I need caytalac converters replaced, not a cheap job!!! A reputable shop would

After reading the reviews I went in for smog check and repair that was less than quoted elsewhere. Luckily, Jerry also noticed a bad tire I had not seen due to minimal driving during stay at home and found a replacement. All before closing at 1! I took my van back for brakes and am very happy with the work done.

These guys are great! Originally went to Purrfect Auto Services to get an inspection for my vehicle. They said my car needed to get some parts fixed/replaced but I would need to goto a shop specializing in off-roading cars to get that fixed, because Purrfect wasn't able to do it here. I call an off-roading place and they said these are actually basic repairs and I could goto a general repair shop to do it. I went to Santa Ana Smog & Repair and they were able to fix what Purrfect wasn't able to do. Jerry is awesome. He was incredibly helpful and provided great customer service! I will

Just dropped by here to get some tires swapped out. Man does this guy have an attitude. He seemed annoyed I wanted to give him business. I read the negative reviews on this place and I was surprised to actually see it be true. Customer service does not seem valued here. Older Caucasian man with long hair and glasses similar to Dwight Schrute. Stay clear of him. I ended up walking away from the shop as if his initial interaction was this negative, I can only imagine what it would be like once the job was in progress.

Just spoke with my gf who was the one who recommended this place. She mentioned

I had Jerry replace the engine in my car, charged me $10,200. It took a month for the engine to be replace then I get the car back and drive it for 1 day before the dashboard lights up with warnings. I take the car back and after a few more days I'm told it is fixed. That process was repeated 4 more times over a 2 month period. He then tells me around Christmas time that if I put 2000 miles on the engine it should work out the kinks and if not then bring it back in and it will be diagnosed. He has the car 3 weeks without a word. I finally get thru to him and he tells me it needs a new starter
