Nicest guy. I've brought several vehicles to him because to my misfortune they all need smogs at various times of the year but yearly.... Almost 10-15 years now. He knows what he is doing.... Fortunate for sure. See you soon!!!

Fantastic customer service! Took about 20 minutes total for my RAV4. Very friendly and reasonably priced for the Bay Area.

he lies about price and takes advantage of customers. other than that, fine. i normally drive a year 2000 truck and get $40-60 smog checks. i brought in a yr1999 truck and he said it would need $100 smog check becuase he has to test tailpipe emissions due to year2000 cut off. i mention that i had recently disconnect battery and he says lets test it anyways. it fails becuase the battery had been disconnected and computer not thoroughly cycled. i dont remember if he charged me for a retest but i remember leaving bitter/salty about the situation, he said he would comp me $20 on my next smog. come a year or two later i bring my yr2000 truck in for the simpler smog check that just plugs into my computer... apparently this smog chveck should be cheaper but when he rings me up the price, the total is $80 ($100- minus the $20 comped) i think this dude is just trying to money grab from customers whichever way he can. both my vehicles were able to pass smog, though
