Andrew, Debbie and Jason go out of their way to get their work right. Flexible, honest and helpful too. Always available for consultation and accomodating. Try them....you will be glad you did. read more

terribly organized parking lot, extremely rude employees and blatantly false advertising on their website and on the phone (if they even answer it, called 3 times to no response) read more

If I could, I would give them higher than 5 starts. We've been going here for the past 10,15 years. Andrew (the main guy) and Jason are absolutely the best. Andrew's mom Debbie, runs the office/billing, is the sweetest person. We consider them like close family friends. Who ever drops you to your house (Debbie did !!!) On another occasion, Andrew and Jason helped me push my minivan which had stalled just around the block from their shop to save me towing expense. Who ever does that unless they too consider me as family!!! My family and I take all my vehicles with eyes closed, we have complete faith in the trio. They are extremely reliable, knowledgeable, extremely trustworthy and great value for the money, never over-charging, always fixing only the part which need repair, never mis-diagnosing. Simply the best!!! read more

Andrew is da man! I took my old 2002 Camry in to diagnose some valve leak to several different places and found Andrew to be the most reasonably priced and the most honest. He laid out what he was able to find, gave me quotes for each job and let me choose what I wanted to get done. I dropped off my Camry and got it back fixed within two days, just as he promised. His mom also helps run the shop! Andrew is chill, and the mom is so sweet. All I have to say is you have to give them a try. I recommended them to my friends and all they all share the same opinions as I do. Thanks Andrew! read more

Andrew has been working on my cars for about 2 years and I have nothing but good things to say about Frontline Auto Performance! I would highly recommend this pace to anyone who needs maintenance or performance modifications! read more

Frontline Auto Performance - Shop front. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Jose, California

I always receive great service from Frontline Auto. Debbie is always friendly and accommodating. Frontline is my first choice for getting work on my 3 cars: 2005 Acura TSX; 2006 Chrysler Pacifica; and 2006 Chrysler 300 Heritage edition. I have been having what I thought was a problem with my Pacifica with the engine not being able rev above 3000 RPMs when in park and neutral. Other wise the car runs great. Today I took it in to have Andrew take a look and he said that this is how the Pacifica is designed. His expertise is greatly appreciated! I recommend Frontline highly. read more

Took my car here because my transmission was failing. Andrew replaced it and my car drives like brand new again. Also Debbie, his mother, is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I recommend trying this shop out if you reside in the San Jose area. read more

exceptional business! kind, straight to the point service was recommended to take my car here and see Andrew. The man takes pride in his work and goes above and beyond in taking care of the customer. He not only fixed my automobile issue but also hooked up some peace of mind ...cause you know how cars can be a headache on all levels. read more

Came in here last minute for an issue I was soon after informed to be detrimental if pushed any further. Andrew and Jason exceeded my expectations and were able to diagnose and work on my car in a timely manner. Forever grateful for their help, going to them was the best decision as their savvy knowledge saved me a lot of money. read more

They are the best i have used when coming to fixing cars. Debbie is an amazing person and Andrew knows his stuff really well. They are very reliable and are extremely trustworthy. It is almost like someone in your family fixing your car. I have been their customer for more than 7 years and i am so lucky to find when my car broke down and i had an emergency situation. read more

Where do I begin. Andrew and his team of automotive professionals have been working on my cars since day one. He is always really friendly, professional, and overall just knowledgeable about everything car related. From radiators, to full on engine swaps, he can pretty much do it all. Economy cars, performance cars you name it, he works on it. Every time I walk into his shop I feel welcome as it has a very family oriented atmosphere. His pricing is also very competitive as I have always called to shops in my area and his price ALWAYS beats the competitors by a landslide. I highly recommend you visit his shop, you won't be disappointed! read more

If you're looking for an honest, family owned, and straight forward mechanic, this is the place to go. I first came here on recommendation of a friend of mine and I haven't gone anywhere else ever since. First, their front desk Debby is very kind and approachable. She always makes sure that you are getting the service you need and explains all the costs of whatever is getting taken care of. Secondly, the mechanic Andrew is very knowledgeable. He will explain everything that you need, the costs and the what-ifs scenarios if you think of one. Straight forward and honest. Gets the job done in a timely manner. If you have a time frame you have to get your car back, he'll try his best to get it back to you when you need it. Look no further, y'all - this is your mechanic. Trust! read more

This place was more than awesome! I brought my car in for some new brakes and all that good stuff and the guys were extremely upfront with no bullshit. I'm a young lady and I hate to get ripped off by places because I am female and expect to NOT know anything when it comes to auto repairs etc. They looked at my car, told me what they can do, gave me options, and even offered water! The end result I didnt have to pay an arm and a leg and they are super quick! These guys know exactly what they're doing.. know exactly what CUSTOMER SERVICE IS.. and know how to make things happen!! I like that in any type of business. Definitely coming back for repairs and/or smog checks! read more

I don't write many reviews, but this one is a must. A head gasket replacement turned into a nightmare repair scenario because of a design flaw in my car's engine block. Handling the situation took skill, research, creativity, persistence and flexibility to finally get the job done. Andrew and Debbie delivered that and more. They made a very frustrating situation manageable, and in the end, delivered a great result. I shudder to think how badly this could have turned out at a different repair shop. I and several family members have now trusted our car repairs to these wonderful people for several years. The way they handle this repair finally got me to my keyboard. If you live anywhere in the greater South San Jose area, give them a call. You'll be glad you did! read more

Frontline Auto is a great honest shop! I brought my jeep wrangler in with engine issues and ended up replacing it. Having to replace my engine was already a lot to handle, but they were all very informative and patient with all my questions and concerns. Til this day I take my jeep back for regular maintenance at ease knowing they will be very thorough every visit. I'll continue to come here for any of my jeep maintenance and more. read more

If you want honest, upfront, good quality mechanic service then go here. I would recommend people to their send wives, daughters, and other friends here without ever worrying if they were being taken advantage of. It's a small family run operation that does offers very thorough and reasonably priced smog checks. Andrew is very knowledgable and has always explained any question I have had with complete accuracy (even after I did the research online). Their prices are competitive, they are very friendly, competent, and offer a ride service for locals. read more

I have been torn between dealing with the gold plated dealership pricing and a mechanic who worked off Monterrey HWY. Who jerry-rigged parts and caused more problems fixing a simple oil leak (caused by Jiffy Lube) turned into a $2500.00 turbo replacement. Thank G I don't have to deal with those extremes anymore as I found the needle in the haystack. The family owned, honest, reliable, and reasonable auto shop! They are very honest, and they do not overcharge for their services. I actually do not have to take a bottle of Xanax at the idea of my household budget being blown for a year if I get an oil change. Awesome sauce! read more

The best smog check and auto repair in town. Very kind and friendly staff. Strongly recommended. Thanks to Andrew and Debbie.

Car issues can be a major drag and a tedious process. And coordinating with auto shops can add to the frustrating task of getting your car where it needs to be. I was pulled over by officers twice for my tags, got a fix it ticket to resolve the problem, and with procrastination issues cutting close with the deadline, I needed to get my car to pass smog FAST. I found Frontline on accident after being turned away by a nearby shop. I communicated with Andrew, and immediately felt supported. He was very personable, helpful, and accommodating. They even gave me a ride to my work in a cool car, while I leave my car there. Debbie called and texted while I was at work to give me constant updates. She was very kind and provided reassurance that they will do what's needed for my car. In the end, the process was smooth and stress-free. They completed whatever repairs that were needed and did my smog efficiently and promptly. Because of their commitment and standard for customer care and service, they are easily my first go to for car problems now. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. The staff were all very courteous. Thank you. read more

Super fast! Getting a smog check is always a drag, stopped in here to get it done today on a Saturday. I was in & out in under 20 min. Very friendly service. Definitely will be back. read more

Amazing experience here at Frontline Auto. Debbie, Andrew and Jason were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about pretty much anything car related. They were completely honest about what my car needed and didn't need. I was given constant updates on the work being performed on my car. It doesn't get any better than that especially when lots of shops ghost their customers until the work is finished. Would come here for anything and would recommend them to my friends and family. read more

Amazing service! We go to Frontline regularly for any auto-related concerns, and Debbie, Andrew, and crew always do a great job

I brought my 1981 Pace Arrow RV in without an appointment. They guys were great and had me fit in in about 20 minutes. They are friendly and had me in and out of there within half an hour. The shop is clean and i agree with the other poster...the fish tank is awesome! Price for smog and certificate: $90. I will be bringing the rest of my vehicles here when needed and I reccomend this place highly. read more

Came in for a smog check. A little pricey but worth it for the friendly service. Was taken immediately.

Frontline is our go to place for all our auto repair needs! Andrew and his crew do great work! We have had water pumps, timing belts and thermostats replaced, radiators repaired, general service work...all done well, very timely and at better than competitive pricing. We could not be happier and are customers for life! Frontline is a wonderful place to do business! read more

I had a great experience having my older car smogged. Andrew was extremely friendly and made me feel at ease, even though I didn't pass the first time through. I highly recommend Frontline Auto Performance if you have to have your car's emissions checked. read more

YELP: This Auto shop is very efficient and very good! I was told about this place through friends so I decided to give it a try since both of my cars needed major maintenance. Every time I would drive my Lexus it would always make weird loud noises which, like any worried car owner, convinced me that there was something obviously wrong with it. Prior to my visit I decided to call Frontline and see if they could book me for an appointment to find out what was wrong with my car. They told me to go ahead and bring it in for a diagnostic so they could figure out what the problem was. The technicians were very knowledgeable and explained to me in detail that my brake pads needed to be changed (hence what was making that weird crunching sound) and that my EGR exhaust tube was cracked (this is also what made a weird loud sound coming from my engine). I went ahead and gave them the ok to fix whatever needed to be fixed. They definitely did a great job and fixed the problem at a great price and they told me that if anything comes up or if I find something suspicious then to go ahead and give them a call.the owner, Andrew is very friendly. It's been a few weeks now since my visit and I haven't encountered any problems! What a great experience I had at this place! I would definitely come back here in the future and would recommend this place for anyone looking to service their car! Annie read more

I went here at the recommendation of the place of where I normally do a smog check, but I had to find a "Test Only" station. Went in for a smog check yesterday. These guys were old school, and knew how to give you the best chance for passing smog, e.g. doing it properly and allowing the engine to warm up. As the other reviews said, in and out in about 10 -15 minutes. read more

Got to smog my car right away. Done within 15 minutes. Hard working family. Free water and fig bars!!! $40 for smog and certificate.

I've been a customer since they were at their previous Pearl location, and I was happy to find out they've reopened at a new location. I recently brought my Honda to them for major maintenance service (engine mount, timing belt, water pump, tensioner, etc.), and Frontline did an awesome job! Andrew is very knowledgeable and thorough. He was able to locate oil leak sources and even found problems with my car I didn't know about. Andrew explained and showed me all the old worn/damaged parts that were replaced. My car runs great again and I really appreciate his work and attention to detail. Throughout repairs, Andrew and Debbie did an excellent job communicating and keeping me updated. This is a family business that is honest, dependable, and friendly that cares about their customers. My family and I bring our cars here and we are always satisfied with the service we get. read more

This place is family owned and they treat each customer just like it....I came in needing my brakes changed my quote was $95 bucks (very reasonable) for labor but once Andrew took everything off I needed new roters and bearings I'm thinking it was gonna cost me an arm and leg but he honored the $95 even though it took him well over an hour to fix everything. He explained everything and even showed me the issue! It was great I didn't feel taken advantage of, that usually happens when a woman walks in a shop not knowing a screw driver from...well anything else lol. I'd definitely recommend this place if you need quality work without having to break the bank read more

It's not always that you come across honest and good people but going to FRONTLINE to have my car serviced was just that! I received great service at your Pearl Ave. location, the way that the owner Andrew communicated with me and kept me abreast every step of the way while they serviced my car was amazing! I will definitely be back and refer all my friends to you! Thank you!!! read more

I am giving 3 stars to this business because of customer service and honesty. They were unable/incapable of solving my issue. I brought my 1997 Toyota Camry in for a Star Smog test. It failed. I then applied for repair assistance and after receiving approval, I went back to Frontline so they could diagnose and fix my car. After leaving it for a day, I was told by the mechanic and manager that they could not find anything wrong (no codes were given to help them) and didn't want to replace something only to find it wouldn't solve the issue. To their credit, they did not charge me for the diagnostics. Debbi, Andrew and Cuong were very polite and apologetic for not being able to help me. I have since located a different Star Test and Repair shop that had more advanced diagnostic tools to identify the problem. They fixed it and the car passed smog. read more

Awesome customer service and pricing. If you need a car smog, come to this place. From now on it's the only place I'll ever go.

The people said it all, very reliable folks. I kept bringing my car for some problems, it always get out fixed and I'm a very satisfied customer.i should've done this review year's ago. Thank you! -Mitsubishi evo8mr read more

Test station only. I have used this place three times. Usually no waiting. In and out in 15 minutes. Good, friendly service. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are the best. Coung is a rockstar as an auto technician! They are always fast, friendly, and fair. Best auto service I have seen anywhere. read more

I went to Frontline when they were at Capitol Ex/Pearl. Have not been to the new location but will be going soon. They always do my Smog. Andrew has been fantastic. Other former co-workers use their services too. Always prompt and efficient. Thanks Frontline. read more

took my wife's 2004 Toyota Rav4 in for a smog test. usually this is a drag and very time consuming. smog rules have changed for the better and these guys got us out in under 15 minutes. i was so impressed i brought back my 2001 Toyota tundra the same morning to smog in advance of me selling it. again i was out of there in less than 15 minutes. great friendly service. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!! read more
