Why would one take the time to review a gas station on Yelp? Well, when the gas station is as…read moreawesome as this, one would have to! It's actually California law that gas stations are required to provide free gas and water when you buy gasoline. On the rare occasions I've tried to ask for either in the LA area, the gas station attendant acts like I might as well be asking for the earth and the moon. Then midway through they'll shut it off, so I'll have to go back, they'll begrudgingly turn it on again, and I'll have to go back to my car and so on and so forth... With the employees here, it's completely the opposite! Because I wanted to use Apple Pay inside they let me fill up my tank first and then allowed me to pay for it later. Imagine doing that in LA! When I asked about air, one of the mechanics actually checked each of my tires for me and even went underneath the car to grab a valve-cap that I had dropped. And they waved us goodbye and thanked us for coming! No, thank YOU!! This station deserves ALL the Mobil awards! PS. The gas was cheaper than the other stations in the area!

One star, and that's being generous. This used to be a solid…read moreservice station back when it was run by people who knew their jobs and cared about doing them right. Then it was taken over by the current owner, who somehow managed to fire the entire experienced crew-some with decades here-and replace them with people who can't do half the work this place advertises. Basic services that were once routine are now apparently "not something we do," which is an interesting business model for a service bay. The new staff seem confused, undertrained, and completely out of their depth. It takes real talent to ruin a business this thoroughly, but here we are. If you're remembering how good this place used to be, save yourself the disappointment. That version is long gone.

HUGE thank you to Matt at Matt's Smog! He had to test my classic car 3 times, as we figured out…read morewhat wasn't working right and I replaced parts. Matt listened to me and recognized that I know most of the idiosyncrasies of a car I've had since I was 17. That might seem a silly thing to praise, but so many mechanics think they know more about a car I have owned for 32 years than I do, even when they've never seen one before. But not Matt, he listened and helped me figure what needed to be done so I could fix it and get it to pass smog. For the rest of the world that doesn't have a car that is like a member of the family, Matt is fair and honest! You can trust him.

Auto Limits was helpful, responsive, and took a look at the car as soon as she arrived.

He was very kind, explained everything thoroughly, and most of all did not try to take advantage of a young woman in an emergency situation.

This time, I had an "A4 Service" message on my panel, so I looked for a local place other than the dealer, which is very inconvenient in SLO. Well, Yelp came to my rescue. Auto Limits shows with 5 stars, and it's located so close to me. I called them, made an appointment, and they gave me a reasonable quote. That morning, I dropped it off, and John said it would be ready by 2pm. Well, before 2pm, i received a call that it could be picked up. Not only that, it was nearly a $100 lower than the estimate "...because it was checked, and wasn't needed"...wow. I love it. What makes up for a little messy / fugly office, they are nice, honest, and give good service. Again, love it.

I didn't realize we needed a STAR station and initially went to a mechanic I've trusted for four years. After about 30 minutes of trying, he realized he couldn't perform the smog test. My girlfriend suggested heading to a place on 6th and Spring, saying she'd been there before. We drove over, and after a short wait, we met Matt, who was busy with another customer. When he greeted us, he explained there were two cars ahead, so we decided to wait. The total time spent was about 40 minutes, and Matt was fantastic--personable, knowledgeable, and professional. He answered all my questions about the smog process and took the time to chat when he learned my son was joining the Marines. To my surprise, he offered a military discount as a gesture of gratitude for my son's service, which I thought was awesome. Would I go back? Absolutely! I think I've found my new go-to mechanic. Hopefully, I won't need him often, but I wouldn't hesitate to return. He originally quoted $60 for the smog test but knocked off $10 with the discount. Thanks, Matt, for the speedy service and kindness!

We called made an appointment, was able to drop the car off days prior to the appointment in case they could to it sooner ( since it had to be trailed ) very nice front desk guy upon drop off! Within 2 days we got a call, they had it fixed, and they wanted to drive it some more so they felt 100% it was going home perfect! Long story short, when picking up car , very nice gentleman at the front desk ( different one from before). I'm so beyond thankful for a shop and crew that is confident in their work! They are very fair with their prices to their customers, for the price we paid to fix my car I would have paid that over and over again! And Trust me I've had my fair share of bad shop experiences and mechanics/ businesses that really don't care about your vehicle and just want the money ... but this shop is 100% at your best interest! They gained a customer who will keep coming back in the future & will continue to spread the word of the amazing standard this shop holds

Not only that but the car is acting up even worse and the engine is revving really high in park. Down shifting really hard when coming to a stop.
