Went in for an oil change, and Sam also suggested an air filter change. All in all good and friendly customer service. Looking forward to working with them in the future. read more

Went there to get AC fixed. Great service and affordable pricing. Sammy, the owner was very knowledgeable of what my car needed.

Amazing Sam and his team fixed my car. It runs so smoothly now! They're very kind and even fixed things I wasn't there for. I highly recommend them and will definitely come back. read more

Professional and amazing tech he really knows his stuff. I got professional advice from him and trust that he will take good care of my car in the future read more

There is no way I would not leave an exceptional review for Greenback Automotive. I have been bringing my Honda CRV to the local dealership for maintenance. An oil change has become a $300 norm. On top of that? They told me I needed gasket replacements that were going to cost me an additional $3000. Now, the biggest red flag? The "0" down 6 month credit that was being pushed on me. Time for a second opinion. I read reviews and was incredibly impressed with Sam's response to even those who had weird, baseless reasons for bad reviews. Btw, the rest were 5 star reviews. I called immediately. Sam is honest, kind and explains and shows you issues and in my case, non-issues. I drove my car away in in much better shape than when I drove it out of the dealership after $300 worth of basic maintenance. My savings? $2950.53. read more

This review is overdue! Sam is one of a kind in the best possible way. He did my rear brakes, oil change, replaced belts and explained why I did not need a realignment at that time. I had some time. constraints and he worked late to get my car back to me on time. Pricing is excellent. Highly recommended. read more

I messaged Blue Sky Smog on Yelp to get a quote for our Cargo Van. And within an hour the owner gave us a great price that we couldn't pass up. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner and they had the tech start right away on our smog. They have a waiting room in the office. Our experience was quick and friendly. Our smog tech was friendly and went over our smog details. Yeah we passed! Close to our home so definitely will be back for our next smog check. read more

Sammy has worked on our vehicles multiple times. He's been incredibly helpful and informative during the process. He openly communicates and his pricing is fair. We appreciated his kindness and excellent professionalism. Highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking. read more

My car was in rough shape going in and Sammy did a great job. He was very thorough and looked through the whole car to figure out what I needed fixed ASAP and what could wait. I will absolutely be going back to him when my old car needs more TLC. read more

There isn't anything more that I could say, except that I am IMMENSELY happy that I cane across this shop! Super personable and honest and saved me literally hundreds of dollars on a repair! I will definitely be revisiting this location for future automotive needs!!! read more

Wow, what a great experience! Good communication, timely completion and excellent service. The estimate was spot on. We had several things done on our Subaru and are very pleased. Grateful to have found such wonderful mechanic. read more

The absolute best!!! They have exceptional customer service. I'm so happy I found this gem of a place. I'll definitely be bringing my cars back here. Thank you!! read more

So I went to drop my brother off to pick up his vehicle and as I park (ironically) my transmission shifter went out. the gentlemen that helped me, his name was Eric and I have to say this is the most genuine, professional and polite gentlemen I could have dealt with. he was able to get my vehicle fixed within a day and I was simply a random occurrence with a problem. over all not only did ERIC exceed my expectations he made a customer for life. if you are looking for honest, hard working mechanic work look no further COME HERE ! ! ! read more

Sammy is one of the finest and most honest mechanics I've ever known. He has saved me literally thousands of dollars in unnecessary and improper diagnoses by other shops (including the dealership) by finding the real problem and fixing it. He is an expert on European cars. He has done flawless work on my e90 BMW 328i and my 1994 Volkswagen Corrado VR6. When Sammy fixes it - it will stay fixed. The man is a genius. read more

Always the best in professional service and diagnosis from bringing in the car you want to buy for an inspection to figuring out what's wrong with the one that won't start everytime. It's hard to find good, honest and reliable mechanics, but once you do,you won't go anywhere else! Blue Sky is the place that I trust,thanks Eric and Jay! read more

Sometimes it's hard to find honest and reliable auto repairs but I can tell you I trust Eric to be all that. He goes over and beyond explaining and basically teaching you things about cars. He is very thorough and knows what he's doing. I recommend him 100% personally I think he is one of the best auto mechanics around here. read more

***BEWARE*** Bad Business They had my car over a month and ordered the wrong part 3 times on purpose. They ordered and engine then ordered an engine oil coiler 3 weeks later knowing you have to replace it when you replace the engine. So if your warranty covers your repairs then DO NOT go to blue smog. They will drag out that job until you give up. I have lost my job because 6 weeks later they still have my car. read more

If you are purchasing a used vehicle, take it to Greenback Automotive before you buy. They conducted a thorough, comprehensive, and complete inspection of a vehicle with a salvage title that I was considering buying. Informed me of and explained all the problems areas they found which enabled me to make the right decision. read more

This is my go to Smog Station to meet DMV requirements. Go here every year. You can just drive in and wait in your car, fast and reasonable Smog pricing read more

I requested to have my car be brought in, but I could not make a time until about 6 PM. I spoke to someone on the phone the day before to confirm...the next day I call just to make sure that I'm still coming at 6 PM for my appointment, the manager on the phone says we never stay up until six we always close at five but the guy yesterday told me he is sometimes there well after 6 PM and it would not be a problem so the manager asked the guy and he said that he never told me that Well why would I leave my job early just to go to an appointment that does not exist. Then the guy tells me that they do not work on my car that it has to be taken to a Tesla facility which is false because shortly hanging up the phone I called a car mechanic near them and what do you know they work on Tesla so I am fortunate to have found someone to take care of my needs. UnFortunately, I don't like being lied to...I understand if you close at five then he should've told me that...poor customer service I saw it in the reviews, but didn't believe it until I experienced it for myself, I understand when it's time to close it's time to close, but other mechanics and other tire shops will stay open if they know you are on your way I have experienced that myself. Unfortunately, these people do not care. read more

I had to get a smog certificate for the first time for my registration and my car failed. The process was very stressful until I came to Blue Sky and met Eric. I came here because I felt the same way another lady explained in her recent review. Eric was very helpful and friendly. He answered my 100 questions and I was so relieved. Everything was fixed and completed on my car quickly and for a reasonable cost. Eric went out of his way to help me further by taking care of 2 other issues that I was going to put off for another few months. I feel like I now have a friend in the automotive repair industry. If I have problems in the future which I hope I don't, I will come back here. read more

The response to my complaint was completely fabricated. That guy just made up a conversation, and a scenario that didn't happen. Wow, why don't you just own up to it, and improve your business practices. We were greeted at our car by service person not wearing a mask. His excuse for not wearing it was "it's too hot". I called in advance to be sure they were doing smog checks. I was told "yes" until 4 o'clock. When I got there they couldn't do the smog check because they haven't been certified for three months at that point. Apparently they used to be called "Earth Station", and are under new ownership. I was not told this on the phone when I called. Total waste of my time, and if you care about COVID-19 I wouldn't recommend you going there as they don't take it seriously. read more

Very happy with service! Employees were courteous and friendly. I was able to stay in my car while they checked and certified my car. I would definitely return there and recommend! (Mechanic can also do more than smog.) read more

To find a reliable and honest mechanic is so important, and I'm very lucky to have found the team at Blue Sky. They are all very knowledgeable and pleasant, with only my best interests at heart. I know with full confidence my baby is in good hands, and their honesty is fully appreciated. Thanks guys! read more

I had been dealing with a smog-related nightmare due to my car "not being ready to test". The test only sites couldn't give me much information (by law I guess) and the dealership was not very helpful in suggesting a solution beyond "keep driving it and see if it's ready in a week or so". After about 2 months of driving with a prayer, and several almost-tickets for expired tags, my car still "wasn't ready" for its smog test. I called Blue Sky Smog and Repair for some help and the owner couldn't have been more patient as he explained my options to me. I brought it in the same day where the owner and his employee gave me even more help. After some quick repairs, my car is finally ready for her smog test. These guys helped relieve a lot of my car stress and, as someone who knows little more than how to check her oil, that help and patience is priceless. I will be taking my car for it's free smog retest at a different location (only because it's free) but if I have any future issues I will definitely be back. UPDATE: she passed smog!! Thanks guys read more

These guys are great. I was having trouble getting my truck to pass smog. I got a hold of Blue Sky's phone number and they said to bring the truck over. They had no trouble smogging it and they even told me about the DMV Kiosk at Safeway to renew my truck at. They are very affordable and the people there are very nice and easy to deal with. I plan to go back to them when ever I need service on my truck read more

Quick & friendly! Made my smog check SUPER easy... I'll definitely continue to get smogged here in the future!

Awesone place for any auto repair or regular service! Both my husband and I had always taken our cars to the Nissan dealer, but no more! Eric, the new owner was able to replace the timing belt on the Xterra in much less time and for way less money. My Versa had a cracked engine torque mount and he replaced it in no time at all and for a third of the cost. The place is clean and well run. Everyone is very pleasant. We would never take our cars anywhere else again! I would give them more stars if I could! read more

This shop is amazing. I recently purchased a 1986 Jeep that I knew was going to need some work and I needed a shop that I could trust. Eric, the owner is extremely professional and always responsive to any questions I have. Blue Sky Smog and Repair will always be my go to shop for any repairs I need going forward. I recently went in for some transmission service and ended up rebuilding the transmission through his shop because it was such a great price. The work was done on time and on price with the original quote. While he was working on the transmission I asked him to check for additional maintenance items. Eric noted some issues that were not urgent but were going to be a problem down the road. Ultimately I decided to have the entire engine replaced. This is a major repair that presents all sorts of challenges given the age of my Jeep. Finding parts is difficult and sometimes requires some custom solutions. Eric and the mechanics at the shop did an incredible job, found a remanufactured engine with a warranty and handled everything from removal to install and tuning. I couldn't be happier with the result. My Jeep runs like a dream now and was worth every penny. Again, the cost to replace the engine was on price with his quote and was considerably less than other shops I checked with. I can't recommend this shop any higher. It is difficult to find a place with the attention to detail, experience, and tools to deliver on repairs big and small at a reasonable price. read more

See all

Blue Sky service was excellent. The drive up concept was a breeze. Tech was knowledgeable.

My car was making a grinding noise. Ended up needing new calipers. Eric was very nice and explained everything that was needed and found parts at a cheaper price. Wonderful service. Will definitely go back. I am newer to the area and have just found my go to mechanic read more

After going through a smog check nightmare I finally got passed there. They were fast, friendly and even fixed a loose part that they noticed and had nothing to do with the smog.no charge. I will go back for brakes ect. read more

I stopped in here for an oil change and I totally recommend it. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. As an added bonus my oil change was cheaper than what I typically pay at one of the chain shops. I'll be going back for sure. read more

Went to the smog shop to get my 2012 Hyundiai smog check done . Super fast really nice and everything went smooth. Thank you very very much.

This pandemic closed a lot of shops, so I was thrilled that Blue Sky Smog & Repair was open - it's an essential business! I needed help figuring out why my check engine light was on. Turns out the temperature sensor had to be replaced. Eric, the manager, identified the problem quickly, ordered a new sensor (it arrived within minutes), and ran a full diagnostic on my car. All for less than I would've paid at the car dealership or another shop. He even ran a SMOG check on another car at the same time - that's efficiency. There's also a pleasant office area to get out of the sun/rain/the elements. If you're looking for an honest and efficient repair shop, this is IT! read more

Guy was a bit rude and loud, might have been a rough day for him. Slammed doors, coughing near customers.. just didn't seem the best.

Eric and Jay of Blue Sky Smog and Repair are fabulous! They very affordable replaced the front and back brakes on our Hyundai, did some out of the box thinking to solve how to get 2 batteries onto our trailer so to mount for our solar panels, solved some electrical issues in our trailer and are all around just problem-solving good-guys. What I've learned, though, is that they will say, "No" when things are outside of their range to do something and will refer you elsewhere. How AWESOME is that! A hardworking repair shop that knows their limits and tells you! We've been looking for "our repair shop" since moving here 1.5 years ago, thanks to Eric and Jay's honesty and integrity we've found it at Blue Sky Smog and Repair! read more

I arrived at 4:36 because they close at 5... as I was pulling in one vehicle had just left the bay... I asked to get a smog and the guy hesitated saying that they had started to shut down already, he asked me if I can come back the next day but I couldn't... he says he's going to check if his tech wants to do it, so then I say that's not good customer service if he doesn't want to since they close at 5. He then points out that I showed up "at the end of the day" Im not going to give anyone my business who seems inconvenienced by it... so I said "fuck this place" and I left... if the owner sees this, you guys should close at 430 if you guys want to leave by 5. I have two vehicles to smog that I will be bringing to the other guy. read more

Outstanding service! The new owners of this place have made huge improvements compared to the old shop (which was called Earth Station). The drive-thru smog bay is super convenient, and they do all types of other service. They replaced my A/C evaporator and refilled the refrigerant for way less than the dealer quoted. They also did an oil change, tire rotation, transmission fluid change, and differential fluid change. The service has always been done on time, and they communicate well when any unexpected issues arise. It's great to have an honest mechanic in this part of town! read more
