Highly recommend! Brought my car in today for a smog check. I was in and out in what it felt like a matter of 5 minutes. Excellent customer service, super nice and efficient! I was given a discount for being the first customer of the day! They are also able to register your car right then and there if you need to. I will definitely be back! read more

These guys are great. I went in the other day for a smog check. The first one failed due to a major leak, which they told me was probably due to a faulty gas cap. They advised me to just go to the nearby auto parts store and get one for $15. I did that, brought it back, they reset the service engine light and told me to drive the McCarran loop and bring it back. I did that and it passed no problem the second time. They also gave me a discount on the second test. All in all it cost me about $50 when it could have been significantly more. Very fast, efficient and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

The owner is seriously the most nicest most helpful person I have ever delt with. He went above and beyond to help me with my smog and late registration. I was so worried and was having an awful day and he made it that much better. I will seriously be back everytime. I will continue to recommend his services to others. Keep up the good work :) read more

I found these guys through a Yelp review and they were great. I had a busy week and realized that I'd missed the deadline to smog an register my car by 2 days. When I saw that they were nearby and had a good Yelp review I drove straight there. I took a book with me as my last smog check had taken over an hour and took 2 trips to pass. I planned on spending another 2 hours at DMV. Robert ran out when I drove up and guided me to the bay. He was very courteous and to my surprise was finished in about 10 minutes. On top of that he gave me a veterans discount and then offered to register the car for me for an extra 10 bucks. As my time is valuable to me this service was well worth the price, thanks Robert, for your great attitude and excellent service. You get my first Yelp review as a 5 star business. read more

He greeted me upon pulling into the spot and was getting stated about a minute later. He was finished in about 3 minutes. My car unfortunately did not pass, but he was able to help identify the issues I needed to get fixed and explained what it might entail. I believe the receipt said something like $22 which is a great value for how quick and easy he made it. Would recommend if this is in your end of town and you need someone who is quick and professional.

This was unwarranted; my calipers were perfectly fine, and my Jeep only needed new brake pads. Fortunately, I found Russ, an honest and skilled mechanic. Since then, I have taken my Jeep to Russ and consistently received excellent service. I highly recommend Russ and his team.

I brought both my cars down for a smog, they were so professional and nice. They asked me if i had a coupon, i told them i had a cupon for 15.99 for another smog station. He told me that was fine we except all cupons. They registered my cars for me, and i was out the door registered cars in under 10 minutes. The very freindly staff gave me cold water and joked around with me while the smog ran.VERY PLEASED with my visit, Will be returning next year for sure. read more
