I have been going to Hai "hi" for over 10+ years now and the one thing that always brings me back is..... honesty. It is so rare these days to not be taken advantaged of by car repair shops. I do a lot of my own car repairs, but anything that is more advanced I take to to Beta Smog and Tune. The location is kind of hidden, the building seems to be a bit old, but the service has been great! My wife recently had failed a smog test and the shop she was at told her that they could fix that for about $350.00 which would consists of a tune up. Those types to shops are always a bit skectchy for my taste. How do you give someone an estimate when they haven't investigated the probelm? I told my wife to take it to Beta Smog. Upon Hai investigating the problem, he discovered that one of the spark plugs was fouled up and seized up. He warned us that if he trys to remove it and it breaks, it would involve us purchasing a new head and it could be over $2000.00 to fix. He assured me that he would do everything he posssibly could to prevent that. I drop the car off and two hours later, he informed me of the good news. He was able to remove the plug. Now, you might say well anyone can remove a plug but, he could have easily told us that we need to change the head out, but he was honest and only charged us for the repairs needed. That's the great thing about him, he is all about being cost effective. I even inquired about a quote of my accord burning oil. He simply replied that my car is very old and since its not leaking on the ground to always check my levels and make sure I fill it accordingly. He would rather have me not spend money at his shop and give me great advise, to save some money! That's the honestly I have come to expect from Beta Smog. Could you get the repairs done for less, of course you can, but I doubt you will find a more honest mechanic! read more

The owner kept ripping me off on small items first. Then said I needed a transmission, which would be over a thousand dollars. I decided to check with my old mechanic, Vehicle Garage and was told that, I didn't need a transmission. Beta, never saw me again. It was a case of you're a woman, so you won't know the difference. This was a while ago, I hope something has changed! read more

Great place and easy to get to! We were in and out in 20 minutes. Friendly, qualified, professional service! We needed a STAR smog place and we're so glad we came here. Highly recommended and very reasonably priced. We'll go here from now on! read more

Always friendly reliable and knowledgeable. Great prices !! They know what they are doing . I highly recommend them!! read more

I had my Toyota Sienna smoke checked/passed at the store by Hai and Olivia. They were constantly on the go to welcome the customers cordially! Before long, they were done with my car, and the price of their service was lower than I anticipated. What else can I ask for! Good job Hai and Olivia read more

The place is a little hard to find (the sign for the business is off of CEMO CIRCLE). Once located, Mr. Ho was very nice and efficient. The smog check was completed in exactly 27 minutes and I was on my way. Easy peasy, lemon squeezey. read more

Seem honest and smog older vehicles. There a kettle hard to find tucked on a side road off Gold Rivet

Hai always takes the time to not only fix a problem but also give me a comprehensive review of what maintenance and repairs lay in the future. I can always depend on Hai to fit me in some how and help me out. read more

Beta Smog was able to diagnose and repair our 1988 Toyota MR2 so that it passed smog. The owner Hai is very knowledgeable and friendly. We highly recommend this shop. read more

We took our Cadillac Escalade to this business to get fixed. We were told it was the fuel pump... So he charged us around $700... 1 1/2 yrs ago. Truck started giving us issues again... We took it to a new shop... Who told us the fuel pump needs to be replaced. We called this business which put in the pump..to see if there was a warranty. He said "No, I bought it online... And if u bring it back, I will give u a deal on labor." This guy needs to have his license pulled. He is ripping off the public... And wants to replace the same item again with no guarantee that this won't happen again. We will never ever give this guy our business again. Please take your cars else where... He's stealing $$. We will be reporting him to the Better Business Bureau. We will be asking for an investigation! read more

Been going to Hai for 20 years. I live in the south area but I still goto Hai in Gold River. He is a Master Mechanic and his price is always fair. No BS Beta. read more

This is the only guy I trust. Even though it's smog and tune up I take hime everything and let him tell me where to take it. I can't believe all of the cost saving measures that Hai has done over the years to save me money. Do not hesitate. Go to this guiy first! read more

I started to go to Hai when my other shop got crazy (Tony's Automotive) and closed down. A friend recommended him to me. My daughter first came here to get her car repaired, then her friend and now it was my turn to get things done. Both were very satisfied with the level of respect they got from him and the job he did. I agree with the majority of the reviewers here: Hai is very good at what he does and is very honest and priced fairly. He even accomodated me when I needed to bring the car in early and needed it back by noon. I will be a loyal customer from now on. read more

They did the smog test on my 2004 F-350. They were quick and price was very reasonable. Place doesn't look like much and was a little hard to find. Located in rear of second building. I will come here again. read more

Moved in to California from out of state and needed to smog check our two cars, one of which was a diesel. Did both cars within an hour. Fair price and easy to get done. read more

When you find a shop like this, you almost don't want to tell anyone else, but Hai, the owner, deserves to get more business. We've been going there for 4 or 5 years and he has taken care of my daughter's car when we were in a pinch for time. I take my 2015 car to him vs dealership for any work not covered by warranty. Hai (Hi) is always fair and does good work. read more

Hai is great. He is kind and fair. He will work hard to solve any problem. Honest to the core, can't beat that.

Always use beta smog for all my vehicles. They are honest and fast. They also do all the regular car repairs as well for reasonable prices.

I took my car there for break work and tune up. The owner is very nice guy, but they are way too over priced. After he worked on my breaks, it was making squeaky noise after 2 and half weeks, so I took it back for lubrication. He was too proud to admit it needs more lube. He told me it was my shock. Over all, they are OK, but they are very nice. read more

Beta Smog & Tune is Absolutely The Best!!! Honest, Trustworthy, Hard Work on our cars & trucks!!!! We are always informed as to what is going on, and, we can Always Trust Mr. Hai Ho's words & his plans for our vehicle repairs!! This may be the final time I use Yelp, because of Yelp's BLM-Antifa-inspired "racism" charges regarding honest, hard-working businesses!! read more

I am so happy with Hai and Beta. Other companies wanted to charge me ridiculous money on diagnoses after a failed smog elsewhere. Hai charged me a smog and diagnoses time. I got out of there with a passed smog for under $200. We know what most places would have done. It is refreshing to find someone honest that has integrity. They will be my first stop for now on. read more

Hai was awesome. They are a STAR CERTIFIED TEST AND REPAIR facility. I was in and out in 20 minutes. Great service!

Honest, efficient, and affordable are the words that come to mind when I recommend Beta Smog to the people I know. I usually do my own (simple) repairs, but this is where I go when I cannot fix it myself. Hai and his crew always do a fast and fantastic job, and their prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of work you get. Call them ahead of time and make an appointment to get out the door quicker. Excellent service!!! read more

What great quick service. I am from out of town and needed a smog and oil change in between appt. I will definitely be back when in the area. Thank you to the owner. read more

Great service!!! Drove by to check it out. Spoke to the owner and he fit me in for a smog check 20 minutes later. Fast, friendly, and a competitive price. I will be back. read more

Great shop!! Hai the owner is a very nice guy and one of the few Mechanics i trust. i take all our cars there and have for over 5 years now. Cheaper by 30-40% than the dealerships and only receommends the stuff you really need done, not a bunch or other stuff that isn't necessary. read more

This is truly great shop. I have been going here for years. Hai has treated me and All of my friends wonderfully. Prices have always been fair, and he stands by his work. I don't know what I will do if he ever leaves. 5 stars for Hai at Beta Smog and Tune read more

Family has been going to Beta for auto maintenance and repair. Hai, the owner is as honest as it gets and provides superior service. read more

Have taken my 2 vehicles that require smog check to Hai for several years, mainly since he is quick, polite, and seems very honest, plus on my route home and can run the STAR test. I am an engineer and do all repairs on my vehicles, including rebuilding engines and transmissions, so can tell who is a competent mechanic. If I ever got filthy rich where I would just pay others to do the work, I would trust Hai. Ignore the bad reviews. Those are obviously from gomers who know nothing about cars or repairs and will be angry about any maintenance. read more

I'm in the automotive repair industry and bring about 20+ cars a year to smog. Been bouncing around from place to place until I found beta smog and tune. The main thing that brings me back is Hai is polite and good customer service. Over the years I've been to over 50 smog shops in Northern California and it seams that now days most shops don't appreciate their customers, get rude, with customers, etc. Over all I like his customers service and like supporting a small business owner over larger business who don't care if they have your business. As a side note I noticed a bad review on here and in response to that review. No automotive business warranties electronic parts past a year. I thought is was more than fair for them to offer a labor discount to replace the part and from the sound of the review they didn't even bring the car back to beta for diagnosis so they were trusting them when they said the pump failed without seeing the car. And offering a discount. read more

I've been going to Beta Smog and Tune for almost 10 years and they are absolutely a breath of fresh air. Pardon the pun. My mustang had undergone a complete rebuild with performance parts that were all approved for my specific car by California Air Resources Board and I needed a knowledgeable Test and Repair Station. After many attempts to find the right station I found Beta. The owner, Hai was so professional and handled all my needs without overcharging me. Following that I have done nearly all of my car repairs there. Tired of getting ripped off? Go see Hai. He will fix your car quickly and affordably. His team of mechanics know what they are doing. read more

Yes, this place is as good as it gets. The most advanced diagnostics and troubleshooting, excellent customer service, excellent repairs. Been going hear for about 15 years. read more

Fantastic business They helped me very much with repairs etc for my smog check. Tye was so helpful.. Thank you!

ONE OF THE NICEST GUYS YOU'LL MEET AT A REPAIR/SMOG SHOP. The guy, Hai "Hi" is a really nice guy and has good service especially with his prices. Came here once to get my brakes done and now with my transmission. I was referred by a friend who has been to him previously and have only had good experiences. highly recommended. read more

I've been going to Hai for over 10 years. He's honest, quick and such a nice guy. Great work. Highly recommend.
