    How much does a smog check cost?

    Not sure, we don't smog vehicles. Everyone charges different prices. Generally speaking it'll be over $50 and under $80

    I thihk someone opened a car door into traffic as I heard a loud crashing sound on my right, looked…read moreover, and my passenger side window was smashed. I ordered a used replacement from eBay and after it arrived I looked for a body shop that could install it. After reading glowing reviews, I called Hyperion to ask if hey could schedule the installation, expecting to wait a few days. Instead the guy on the phone said to bring it in at 10:30 the next day. I didn't get there as a tweak in the door itself caused my overhead lights to stay on and drain my battery. I arranged for a friend to take me home, expecting to leave the car for at lrast the afternoon. But manager (I did not get hois name) said it would just be a half hour. He called over a ytechnician and 20 minutes later the car was ready! I had some body damage and the manager quoted me a price apologetically, noting that Lexus Parts are super expensive. I said well, it's a 15 year old car - probably isn't even worth the cost of the repairs. I started to walk away and stopped, turned and said, "Wait, I haven't paid you!" And he said, "no charge". I was dumbfounded and only hope I thanked him emough. Great work, fast, and even complimentary. I'm in awe. Go there!

    Literally better than when I bought it. Ed said it would be and he was right. They do great work,…read morefixed it faster than expected, and I didn't have to call for status checks. I'll def go back and refer. Finding people to trust with this stuff is hard and they absolutely earned it.

Auto repair shops tend to be hit or miss if they do what they say they will, and this Shop excels in every way possible. When we spend as much on our cars as we do, you want to know that it is being taken care of behind closed doors, I can tell you without a doubt that this shop treats your car as if it was their own. TLDR; this is a car repair shop run by car people who love cars. Not only are they cool to talk Shop with, but they are very transparent and trustworthy.

    UPDATE: I posted a detailed review of my experience here last week. After being publicly visible…read morefor several days, it was removed on February 17th, claiming the content "does not appear to be my own." I'm reposting because every word is my actual experience as an 8-year customer, and other people deserve to know what happened. Eight years as a customer - huge decline since management changed I've been a customer here since 2012 when Chris was running things. Back then they were fair, professional, stood behind their work. That version of this shop doesn't exist anymore. I just finished dealing with Rubin on a repair for my 1989 MX-6 Turbo and I'm beyond frustrated. Here's what happened. The battery issue: I brought them a brand new Optima AGM battery from O'Reilly's - $300+ with the extended warranty because my turbo needs a quality battery that can handle multiple discharge cycles. They were supposed to fix the ignition switch that wasn't fully disengaging (which drains batteries). I specifically told them not to leave the battery connected while they worked on it for exactly this reason. They left it connected. Killed my brand new battery. When I picked up the car months later and realized the battery was dead, Rubin promised he'd work with O'Reilly's to get it replaced and call me back. That was 6-8 months ago. Never called. When I finally reached him again, he acted like that conversation never happened and offered me a basic Interstate battery instead. So now I'm supposed to accept a cheap replacement for the premium battery THEY destroyed? That's not how this works. Work that wasn't completed: My gauge cluster still doesn't work - can't see speed, fuel level, temperature. That was one of my main concerns bringing the car in. The radio they disconnected is still not working. The door lock they replaced fell down inside the door panel. I asked Rubin to either fix the cluster or refer me to an electrician who specializes in older cars. Said he'd get back to me. Never did. Condition when I picked it up: Backseat was completely disconnected and flipped over. Windshield was so dirty I literally couldn't see to drive home. Wires sticking out everywhere. Screws and washers scattered all over the floors and seats. When I asked why the backseat was taken apart, Rubin said "the mechanic needed to get back there." Okay but why didn't anyone PUT IT BACK? The runaround: First they said the ignition switch was the problem. Then it was the radio. Now Rubin says my car "just has electrical issues" and that's not their problem. Wait - I paid you $3,800 TO FIX electrical issues. If it still has electrical issues after you worked on it, then either the work wasn't done properly or you're not equipped to handle older performance cars. Rubin's selective amnesia about promises made, the battery situation, and the incomplete work has crossed a line. If Chris were still here this would never have happened. I don't know what Nick's involvement is at this point but Rubin is running this place into the ground. Eight years of loyalty and thousands of dollars spent over the years, and this is what it's come to. Really disappointing.

    With a long out of state road trip coming up, I knew I needed to get my car checked out before…read morehitting the road. My car was having a few issues, including worn spark plugs and a coolant hose leak. We initially took it to another shop that we thought we could trust, but they barely looked at the vehicle and didn't seem interested in helping us. Frustrated, we started searching for another option and that's how we found Bubba's. From the very first phone call, the experience was completely different. We had the pleasure of working with David, and he immediately stood out for his honesty, professionalism, and transparency. Before he had even seen my car in person, he took the time to explain the likely repairs, discussed the parts and brands he would use, and provided straightforward pricing information upfront. Once we brought the car in, David continued to impress us. He showed us photos of the issues he found, walked us through the repairs in a way that was easy to understand, and never once tried to upsell us on unnecessary services. As a woman, finding a mechanic I can genuinely trust isn't always easy, and this was one of the few times I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. What could have been a stressful situation before a major road trip turned into one of the best experiences I've ever had with an auto repair shop. Honest mechanics are hard to find, and David is one of them. If you're looking for a shop that values integrity, clear communication, and quality work, Bubba's is the place to go. Ask for David--you'll be glad you did.

    I got a very high quote from the dealership and felt suspicious about both the cost and the work…read morethey said was needed. Since the dealership had made the diagnosis, I took the car to Bubba's Performance for a second opinion. Not only do they have some of the best shop dogs I've seen at a mechanic in a long time, but they were completely straightforward with me. They charged a fair price, fixed my car, and even pointed out that the dealership had recommended a repair I didn't actually need. I really appreciate the honesty and help. Safe to say I've found my new mechanic.
