You do have to down load a coupon but I'll attach it to my review so you can just show them and get the discounted rate! I called the facility around 4pm and asked if they could run a smog check on my Toyota Prius that day and they said yes! I arrive at around 4:40 and they saw me immediately with no wait. They ran a few tests which took about 15 mins. The total price was $40+$8 card fee so just under $50 which is a decent deal. I've been to other locations San Francisco as well and this is pretty much the lowest price you can find. The guy running the test was polite and efficient. He did make me wait out in the cold though when I could have just sat in my car and not affected his testing but whatever. Also didn't wear a mask the entire time which seems to be consistent with other people's reviews about not being "COVID safe." Overall, I had a pretty easy in and out experience which was reasonably priced.

I am posting another review, bc, imo, when any company continues to provide exceptional service, then I feel I should spend a bit of time posting again: I needed a part installed that operated all my windows and also my door locks. Robin had a mechanic install the part and he told me bc it would only take bout 10 minutes, he would not be charging me this time. I ask you - who does something like this? If you have not brought your car to RAS for repair or general maintenance , see what the experience is like. Every time I have I have received exceptional service. Of course, what I just experienced was the only time something like that happened, but if I would have been charged for an hour of time, that would have been fine with me.

I originally found the shop randomly on Yelp, and I've been extremely happy with their service ever since. They are honest, knowledgeable, and thorough. I especially appreciate that Arif takes the time to explain everything in detail. They originally estimated about $900 to repair my air conditioning, but after 24 hours and inspecting the car more carefully, they found a much simpler fix and the final cost was only $300. They even returned the unnecessary parts they had purchased so I wouldn't be charged for them. I'm very happy to support this respectable local business.
