The lady (possibly the owner's wife) was very unprofessional and had a poor attitude, which made the whole process unpleasant. On top of that, he was charged $75 for a smog check. After checking with other smog check places, we found out that many places only charge around $45. We feel like we wasted our money and time here. I do not recommend this place. Don't waste your money or your time coming here. There are other places that offer better pricing and much better customer service.

I would not recommend this smog check station based on my experience. The customer service was…read morecompletely unprofessional. The employee was visibly upset from the moment I arrived and started yelling at me for no reason. I remained respectful, but there was no reason to be treated that way. What made the experience even worse was that the smog test didn't produce a pass or fail result. Instead, I was told I would have to come back to retake the test and pay another fee. I don't think customers should be charged again when the first test couldn't provide a conclusive result. A smog inspection can already be stressful, and customers deserve to be treated with respect and professionalism. Unfortunately, I received neither. I hope the owner addresses both the customer service and the way these situations are handled, because no customer should have this kind of experience.

No one likes being at the DMV, especially me. I would have to say that they were very, very helpful. They greeted me with a warm smile, which is key for me when dealing with a business. The staff was very upfront and knowledgeable of what I needed to do and what was required of me by the DMV. They did not do the whole smoke and mirrors gag to get an extra dollar out of me. They assisted in me renewing my registration on the spot, and completed the other items that I needed to take care of in the DMV, without me even having to step foot in the DMV. It saved me from taking time off, and wasting a day at the DMV. I recommend their service to everyone. If you like a straight shooter, and a helpful personality and professional demeanor, then these are the people you should use for your DMV service needs.

As someone who doesn't have any family members who are mechanics, going to an auto shop can…read morehonestly feel a little nerve-racking -- especially as a woman, because unfortunately not everyone is always fair or honest. That's exactly why I'm so grateful I found Harout at Golden State Auto Repair ( I was referred to him by my work Colleague..Thanks Jess!) . My experience was truly above and beyond. I came in with what I thought would be a simple fix -- a broken visor. I had already ordered a replacement visor directly from Volkswagen, but of course... they sent me the wrong one. Sighs. Harout didn't just shrug and send me back home frustrated. He took the initiative to call Volkswagen himself, figure out the correct part, and even helped make sure we could order the right one -- which ended up being way less expensive than what I originally received. He's incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, patient, and genuinely kind. The level of honesty and care he provides is rare, and it completely won me over as a forever customer. If you're looking for a mechanic you can truly trust -- someone who's professional, fair, and dedicated -- go see Harout at Golden Auto Repair. You'll leave feeling taken care of, not taken advantage of.
