This place is dishonest. I was in for break and light inspection. Passed but because one of my tires was low on air pressure they failed my car. I then was told I should have paid $150 but the $250 inspections it might of passed. The tech was yelling at me. Poor customer service and ripping the public off. Every place is better than this place. DISHONEST.

I’ve actually come here quite a few times, and I have almost always passed. I was surprised when I needed a brake and lamp inspection for a motorcycle from out of state that had been totaled and rebuilt, and they were able to do this. They even aligned the headlights to spec. It didn’t cost too much either, and they were very helpful about how I should go about repairing the vehicles that I brought here that failed. I live across town but I always come here for my smog inspections. They even have a nice air conditioned lobby while you wait.

The worst experience I’ve had with a business. I took my car here for a break and light inspection. I was told 1 hour 3 hours later I need a new brake light bulb. I had no choice but to pay the $57 for a light bulb because they don’t offer retest. Even after paying $130. I need additional work. I was told complete that work and come back. No big deal. After an hour wait to just make sure my brake light worked they sent me on my way. I schedule an appointment with the DMV to register my car after waiting 3 hours I was told I didn’t have all the correct paperwork from the brake and light inspection. I call them and was told “ oh no we don’t keep paperwork, you probably miss placed it” to come in and they would help. Turns out they in fact did not give me the correct paper work and had it in their stack from the day. So much wasted time, back and forth. Not to mention money wasted. People go here for convenience, and the open Saturday hours but this was far from convenient. Could not recommend them. Just go to the DMV. I promise it will be less hassle and confusion than this place.

Took my 2004 avalanche in and was 100% satisfied with the great customer service and also quality work by the technician/mechanic. The lady's at the front desk will talk you thought the process and make sure you know what is going to happen. Overall 5star service
