Always have come to this Shell for smog checks (3-4 times now). Like others have mentioned, mention…read moreYelp discount for better pricing. I just got mine done today (Jan 17, 2024) and I think pricing went up a few dollars but not by a lot. Total was $54.95 today. The guys here are usually really quick (no longer than 30 minutes) but I usually come in the mornings so I can't speak for later in the day. Today I actually had 3 other cars in front of me but it still didn't take more than 30 mins. I really appreciate the guy running the smog checks today. He was hustling, running back and fourth when he really don't need to but it's awesome to see him taking his job seriously and wanting to get customers in and out to go about their days. As soon as a customer pulls up, he grabbed a clipboard and ran over to them. When customers were on their phones while sitting in the waiting area, the employee came over to let them know it's ready instead of yelling out their names. Just little things to made it a pleasant experience. Taraval also has a few coffee shops in the area so you could also go hang out somewhere and check back in later!

I went in for a smog check. They were efficient and fast. I would highly recommend their service.read more

Not knowing him at all, I mistrusted him and took the car to another mechanic whom I usually deal with. This other mechanic told me it was just a bad battery, and put it in. A week later, the alternator failed completely. Should have listened to David in the first place.

I didn't see any of his old crew also making the move as I used to be a regular at his old shop. He told me most went to other shops or have retired. It was nice to see Simon at least. It took an hour to do the oil change. He called me mid job that my engine and cabin air filters needed replacing. $90 (2 filters $55 and labor $35.) I said yes as I was too lazy to do it myself. It would have have taken too much effort to buy the filters myself and install it. ($22 for the engine and $10 for the cabin filter Amazon prices.) There was a slight mishap as they charged me for a synthetic oil change whereas I only got a regular oil change. The billing mechanic (not Simon) messed up. I caught it on the receipt and they had to refund me $26. Otherwise good job everyone at Sunset 76 Auto Repair. Be sure to check your receipt.

After years of having my TPMS dashboard error light on, I'm finally replacing what I thought was a bad TPMS sensor. What I discovered after removing my tire was not a bad sensor but a missing sensor. I hate untrustworthy mechanics.

Thankfully the staff member at Valero answered my call and I was able to drive over with a near flat tire and quickly use their free air pump to resolve the issue.
