Horrible service, the guy was giving me someone else's cat keys too. And didn't give me any paperwork

Terrible experience here and highly recommend that people search out a more reputable repair shop. My vehicle was failing smog so I decided to bring it to this shop since they supposedly specialize in smog related repairs. While they did find the problem and get my vehicle to pass, they also managed to bang it up and rifle through my belongings. After getting my vehicle back I noticed multiple small dents on the doors, chips in the paint on both the doors and hood, and a dent that looks like a heavy bar was either dropped or rested on across the width of my hood. In addition to the dents and paint chips, they also managed to break off the tail pipe cover on my vehicle and claimed it just 'fell off.' Along with the damage, they also tried calling me while servicing the vehicle and claimed

First off, don't come here for a smog check if your check engine light is on. I did, they didn't bother telling me it wouldn't pass and charged me $70 for a failed test on a 1999 car. They are however really fast and helpful at getting whatever it was that caused the test failure fixed, which is why I'm giving them four stars. The labor rate plus the parts were fairly inexpensive and the order/fix only took a day, plus they gave me a discount on my follow up smog test because I had the problem fixed by them and not someone else. There's a younger Latino gentleman working there on the weekends that was especially friendly and professional. The place is a bit hard to find. Turning into the gas station parking lot from Santa Clara street, it's to the right of the gas station convenience store

I have done business there before, but I do not intend to do so again. I am sad to report that the staff were rude & unprofessional on several occasions, especially in the evenings. They are often hostile to customers for no reason & try to paywall basic services lounge a restroom that they're legally required too provide I will avoid doing business there whenever possible
