Well, well, two years past in a wink of time! Here we go again and again I'm running late on my registration for my ol. Saturn 2000 aka "Forest! Run, Forrest, run!" Even though I had a great experience last time I still get anxious anytime an auto problem arises. Thank you thank this business! Small, but steady with plenty of shady sitting area. There were a Latino couple, a sister and me, white but used to a nice mix of nationalities! RC Hi-Tech checks all the boxes. We calmly sat together as one by one I watched the happy folk before me smile as that paid for their smog check, obviously all passed--no price hikes like an added catalytic converter or even a spark plug and that's it! Passed, paid, treated equally with respect and smiles! Thank you all. Oh! One more thing, they still have doggy love if fur therapy works (for me it's a big plus)! read more

Jonathan at RC Hi-Tech took very good care of us. These are mechanics who really do the work. Honesty is hard to find in a-lot of mechanics. They also have the CAP program where the state helps to pay for any smog related repairs. The shop is very clean and very professional. Nice shaded waiting area as well. Usually theres two very nice shop Dogs roaming around. Good service, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, PROFESSIONALS. read more

Took my car here about a month ago after having some transmission issues. I was shown where my transmission was leaking and they replaced a seal on my transmission. I had my car back to me hours earlier than anticipated and the price was very reasonable. My car is back to normal and running great. The friendly shop dogs are a plus too! read more

I went in yesterday afternoon to get a smog test. I thought about using another place that offered coupons but on second thought I was wondering if it was a bait and switch kind of deal. Anyhow Jonathan at RC was great and quickly took my vehicle in and told me that the fee was $60 which included the state filing. Some places will only tell you THEIR fee and then surprise you with the state filing fee. Don't get taken! I was in and out about 20 minutes. Comfortable seating outside. Decent garage parking area to pull in and out of! read more

Mentioned the online promotion, got smog check + certification for $40 total. Was in and out in 15 min. 2 very good dogs keep you company while you wait. read more

After driving all over LB for a Smog Check location. I was referred here. I'm so Grateful. They were professional & the wait during my smog check was reasonable. Plus they only charged $60. Everywhere was charging $10+ more. If you need a Smog this is the best location to go to. read more

Quick service for a SMOG and an oil change. Friendly and fair price. They also have a couple of extremely friendly dogs to keep me company while I waited. read more

I come here because I can trust them when I come in with a car concern. They're very fast despite always being busy. I come here for smog checks and brake pads and have no problems. read more

Called for a smog check on a used vehicle I had to register. They took care of it quick and I was out in 15 minutes or less. They were also the cheapest auto shop to quote me for a smog check - some places were trying to charge me $70!!! Customer service is superb. PLUS they even have these absolutely adorable doggies hanging out for customers to pet and interact with as they wait for their car to be finished. read more

Excellent, friendly service! Car failed first smog check because the battery had died earlier in the morning (had to get a jump start to get to the smog check) and apparently that wipes the memory! Technician told me to drive for about 100 miles and come back for re-check. Did that and went back 20 minutes to closing time. They took it in, tested it again and it passed even though it was so close to closing time. Saved me lots of time and money! read more

Jonathan and his crew are absolute professionals. Never have I felt like I've been upsold for no reason and all their work has continued to keep the cars in my family fleet at 100%. Trustworthy group of guys and affordable from my anecdotal surveying around of the area for pricings. They've done smog, belt replacements, and even an entire transmission swap among other things. Can't help but recommend their business. read more

Jonathan was great! He took me in last minute for a smog check. Greatly appreciate him and this business! Quick and efficient.

Called to ask about price they said $50 when I get there they charged me $60 no need to lie about your price

Took my car in to replace a control arm and got it done within a few hours for $360! The tech was very responsive and honest about what needed done and the price is very reasonable. Very happy with the work and would definitely recommend. read more

I really don't want to write this but I need to warn you guys. I came for something on the inside of my car and left with a problem on the outside! I went to this place on a Saturday out of convenience because I didn't want to drive to my trusted mechanic who was far away from Long Beach. I came for a smog check and also had my engine light on. Jonathan, ran an assessment using a device to determine what error codes the car had. He immediately suggested I replace the oxygen sensor. I agreed and asked if I could leave my car and that I would pick it up a few days later when the parts and repair was completed. The pickup was scheduled for Wednesday. I get a voicemail on Monday (a few days later) asking me to pick up my car because the repair was done. I paid about 180.00 and left with my car because I still had to drive it 60 miles before I did my smog test. I pulled over my car in an empty parking lot about a mile later to try to enter a food market. The store was closed so I walked to my car and saw damage to the right rear side of my bumper. I called Jonathan and let him tell the story without telling him what I saw. He said he forgot to tell me that two crackheads had a fight in his business and fell on my car. He even knew what side they fell on. He admitted it happed in his lot but said that it's not on the business. He even suggested that it may not have even happened at that shop but still admitted seeing them fall on the car. If you create an order and take someone's car, you are fully responsible!!! Long story short I end up going to my mechanic who was far away and he tells me that replacing that part was unnecessary and that a better assessment should have been done. If y'all like to get shafted then go ahead. I'm a reasonable person but y'all got it twisted if you think this place is legit. If anything, they need to open a criminal investigation on this place. It's a trip because all these good reviews had me coming here all positive. read more

My car is was making a thunder-like noise every time I brake and I was recommended to RC Hi-Tech. The best decision ever! For me personally, it has been difficult to find a shop that makes me feel comfortable or provides me honest feedbacks. I had a hunch to give RC Hi-Tech a shot. And just like that, they determined the issues, got it fixed and I was out of there! I'm a very happy customer and will be be back again! Give them a shot and plus you'll have Tobe and Rolo to keep you company if you decide to wait for your vehicle :) read more

I have been to multiple mechanics for my Honda problems and none of them have ever done me good. I came here to get my catalytic converter changed out and walked out satisfied. Its safe to say these guys are the best! John was honest and straight forward with my problem and everything came out great. Anyone that wants honest work at a reasonably price, come to RC Hi-Tech. Thank you John, I will be coming back for any car troubles I come across. read more

If you're looking for honest work with reasonable price. Look no further. Everytime I come here the owner Johnathan and his staff are always helpful. Plus this place is always clean and Toby is there to entertain you while you wait. I come for smog and auto repairs. read more

At 37 this is the only shop I've ever trusted. If I move outta Long Beach I'll drive my car back here.

Thanks to Jonathan for servicing my 2015 BMW 428i. I brought my car in to get an oil change and replacing the front brake pads/sensor. The prices were great and service was excellent. If you don't want to hang out, then take a $5 uber ride to The Pike Outlets in Long Beach. I definitely will come back again and use RC Hi-Tech as my primary automotive maintenance shop! read more

Came in for one of the easiest smog checks ever. I got here at 515 and the smog was done about 15 minutes later. Service was friendly and I felt very comfortable. They even took a look at my brakes for me when I mentioned I had been having trouble. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great customer service .. Taken two of my vehicles to this place and will and the service has been nothing more and nothing less than awesome read more

this shop is a very honest shop of outstanding services. i highly recommend john ! i will go back to them anytime i need any services on my jeep. the price was fair. thank you. read more

Ratha and his son Jonathan are great and always a positive experience there with my smog checks, oil change, brakes, and rotors. Been going to RC since they were on Cherry. RC Hi Tech rocks!!!!! read more

Jon & his team are the best in town. What I appreciate the most is the honesty & transparency I get when I come here, especially being a woman. It's easy to get bamboozled & taken advantage of. When my Kia was under warranty, I'd always take it to RC for a 2nd opinion when the dealer would try to tell me I needed thousands of dollars in repairs. And of course the repairs were either unnecessary or marked up 300%. I moved out of Long Beach but I continue to take my Kia here because of the great service, honesty, & reliability! read more

Really helpful and downright honest people working this business. They stand behind their work and deliver quality service. Whether you're coming in for a smog check, a simple oil change, or doing other maintenance work, these guys do it all. I've been going to this shop for years and brought several cars here. With that said, I'd definitely continue coming here for whatever work I need to get done. Fluid flushes and changes, emissions/smog test certification and prep, engine maintenance and work, you name it, they can do it. Bonus: they speak Khmer (Cambodian), which is great for their location as it is along Anaheim St. in Long Beach, also known as Cambodia Town. Overall, 10/10. Great work, honest and friendly people. read more

Good mechanic and business from father to son. I've been coming for my car smock check for almost 20 years.

If your looking for a honest trustworthy mechanic shop come here!!! I came across RC High tech due to my radiator hose rupturing on my way home and they were the closes to me. As soon as I pulled in Jonathan attended to me and had my car fixed within an hr and a half. For YEARS my AC would smell like fumes whenever I would turn it on. I've been to over 5 shops to try to fix the problem and it always ended the same "I don't smell nothing your car is fine". Since I was already there due to my radiator problem I thought I'd give it another try to see if they can figure out what's going on with my AC. Without hesitation Jonathan and his dad checked it out and were able to diagnosis the problem!! It was my exhaust, and from what they told me it was cracked! Jonathan scheduled me that following Friday and fixed it! Not only does my AC not smell like fumes my car sounds brand new!! As soon as I dropped off my car Jonathan also offered to have me dropped off by his dad, the drive was a 20 min drive but he didn't hesitate and still offered to have his dad take me home. As a woman I know we get taken advantage of due to the fact a lot of us don't know much about cars. Jonathan took me step by step to explain what was wrong with my car and even showed me the part that he changed out. Thank you so much!! And I'll for sure always recommend RC high-Tech! read more
