I recently visited this shop for smog and was thoroughly impressed with their excellent service. Good location, easy to get in and out. Alex was very accommodating and the staff was efficient and friendly, ensuring a fast and hassle-free experience. I appreciated their attention to detail and professionalism. They even tried to help me with a code issue on my car. I highly recommend this smog check center for anyone seeking top-notch service.

$50 smog, and they send the certificate straight to the DMV. And it only took about 15 minutes. when I pulled up, they were very accommodating they all had smiles. And just something about how inviting they were made me feel so comfortable and happy to spend my money here! it s the smiles that got me to write this review! And the service of course.

I ask them if they can replace brakes and rotors. And I end up with broken locking lug bolts, broken key, and scrapped wheels I end up with more expensive damages than whats worth replacing brakes and rotors. Such professionals use impact wrench unlocking keyed lugs. When they know its fragile and need to use hand tools first! So if you want more damage than fix bring your car here! For sure you will lose your it. Damaged wheels 1200, damage lugs 100 and they laughed at the fact that they need to use a regular lugs to replace what they damage. Saying "oh its not gonna work because its not black" while laughing. Never coming back to this place even if its the last mechanic open.

To say that these guys do the job right is a short statement they went above and beyond my engine blew up in my van I was just died I didn't know what I was going to do and from the moment that I came here Alex approaching one of the owners and he asked me what was going on in the extended his hand and they've helped me through the whole process I didn't have all the money and it's just amazing you know I I considered a blessing from God and they only do things right and they're so busy busier than any other people at the auto center here and and there's a reason for it because they do good work and they're good people!!!!!!!

They were very helpful and they told me all i needed to know about my car. Unfortunately my extended warranty coverage did not cover the cooling system.

A few weeks ago the check engine light of my car turned on, and Alex recommended we rebuild the engine. Thankfully, we had warranty that covered it however it required Alex to send papers in for us and be communicating with them. We ended up not following through with the process but Alex had awesome customer service and was always willing to help out. Thanks for the patience and willingness to do more than just diagnose the car Alex!Service: General repairs & maintenance

My car have had check engine light flashing. They asked for $120 for checking only. Going to the shop closed by Anaheim Auto Specialists they wanted $45 for checking and if my car was fix by them then this $45 will be forgiven.

Went in for Smog check(use the coupon in Google ad section below). Deal is as advertised + $10 for state fees. Still best deal in the area. Small, shared parking area and so things are a little tight. Was there 15 minutes before they open with 1 car in front of me. Tech showed up at 8:15am and I was done by 9am. Guy running shop and tech were nice and easy to deal with. Would recommend going to them and will likely take my other car there next month.

Stay away, those 4.5 or more star are not accurate. I had bad experience with this shop. They make up everything possible as they can. They made it reasonably.And last thing, the Indian is liar.

My car broke down in Anaheim, I had my car towed here on recommendation of my friends that I was visiting. These guys did a great job, although there was a little bit of a wait for parts, but the price was reasonable and the car runs better than ever! I would definitely go back if needed.

Was quoted for unnecessary work for the amount of $2840. Went to a different place and mechanic was found a an actual problem , that will be much cheaper to fix. I guess, as a female I should bring my guy friends with me not to be scammed. Not honest people. The waiting area is dirty, employee rude and not friendly.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

This place was amazing! Had a great experience from start to finish. Started to hear a weird sound from my brakes so went into the shop. Sam and Alex provided me with exceptional service. They took the time to understand what I was saying and their mechanics were very through with his examination. They showed me the quality of the brakes and explained to me what the issue was in detail before suggesting service. Such a relief compared to some other shops I ve been where they just want to make a sale. I will definitely be coming to this location for all my services, I recommend everyone to come check out this spot! The service and rates are both great, you won t regret it!

When I came to see Alex, he assured me that he will find what causing my 2013 mustang gt to stall and die when coming to a stop, sure enough within 2 days hes found the issue and luckily my part was under warranty and got a new one installed and did another smoke test found same issue with new part, but regardless I returned it and I just recieved a replacement and car is running great.

This place is awesome, the staff is friendly and you can tell they come from humble beginnings. This definitely is my go to mechanic they are so honest, quick, and affordable. They get pretty busy but always manage to fit you in, I'd just call in advance to let them know you are coming. Very happy to give business to these guys!

This is going to be my go-to place. I went here to get my breaks and smog done and I got excellent service. Alex was very helpful and he took the time to explain everything to me in details. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for honest and affordable service.

Needed a smog and oil change. Took it here to get both done at once and that s exactly what happened! Very convenient. Got us in and out of there without an appointment. Just called us once it was all done. Thanks for a smooth transaction!

I would like to start off by saying, "SAM" was very kind and professional to me. He assisted with my Father's 1999 Chevy Van - distributor/rotor cap/smog service! The service was quick...just a few hours and the van ran like new!!! Thank you, for your service SAM - From Ricardo ArayaServices: Smog certification, Emissions testingServices: Smog certification, Emissions testing

This place is a rip off! I tried to use their $29.99 coupon for a smog test,my car failed. They claimed my car had been modified!! I bought the car new 16 years ago, and has passed every smog test before this one. By the way, while I was their waiting they were trying to charge a elderly man $799.00 for a complete tune up!!

Alex is a honest guy. We have been taking our cars to him for years, he is honest and does the work on a timely manner. They take the time to explain to you the problem with your car, and explain what they will do to your car to make it right.

I want to pick No Star, but it wasn't allowed, Awful, unprofessional, and rude. I was there 4 hours at the dingy, dirty, unwelcoming place, but Never Again! A few years ago, I'd take my cars to be serviced there, but I moved and now that I'm back I think there's a new Owner or Management and IT SUCKS! I'd advise women Not to go there - no class service and very unwelcomingServices: Smog certification, Emissions testing
