As soon as the previous customer left, he pulled our car right in and showed us to the waiting lounge, where he even offered us cold water and dark chocolate. The smog check itself took less than 10 minutes. Checkout was quick and easy, and he even helped guide us while backing safely out onto the street. Friendly, professional, efficient, and incredibly thoughtful service from start to finish. This is exactly how a business should treat its customers. We will definitely be back and highly recommend them!

The technician was a little hard to locate at first, as he was not in the office, but once I found him and said hello, he helped me right away. He asked a few questions about my engine, gave me some paperwork, gave me an estimate and started the smog check. The whole process from beginning to end was probably about 10-15 minutes. I made the mistake of not really comparing prices before going and soon realized I had no idea how much smog checks usually cost. He said it was $70 total with the certificate, but then gave me $10 off. It was super easy, close to my house and I have no complaints.

Streamline Automotive has been my go to mechanic shop for years. I trust Streamline with all my…read morevehicles including my adult children's vehicles. Honest and capable is how I would describe how Chris runs his shop. He does regular oil changes and brakes without issue. He also replaced the complete Engine and Transmission (custom built 700r4) and basically rebuilt all the systems of a 1978 G30 Itasca RV for me and my family and it runs amazing. Not only was it a major major job, but he and his team did an amazing job. And the price was a very good value, worth every penny. It takes money to run a business so he charges fair pricing for excellent work. I would HIGHLY recommend streamline automotive in San Clemente for any job large or small. Classic restoration regular maintenance etc. they do a fantastic job and stand by their work. I 100% trust Streamline Automotive and Chris's teams abilities for all mechanical work large or small.

Well when we arrived we were told by Chris that we should try the dealer because his niece had same experience with same model car & it might be under warranty. He said try that if it doesn't work then come back & I'll take care of it but I don't want to take your money if it's not necessary! We took it to dealer & yep, it was covered paid ZERO. Trust & believe if anything does come up with any of our cars Streamline Automotive is our place & we will recommend them to all our friends & family!

See below for details... They are also a DMV STAR smog facility and are more than fairly priced! When they went to connect my 2004 Sprinter van to be smogged, my old jalopy wouldn't start!! So my huge van was sitting in their way to get other customer work done...but they NEVER got mad nor impatient with me. They were nothing but kind, professional and knowledgeable ... they went above and beyond!! They worked after closing to solve my Sprinter problem and get me on my way!! And they didn't charge me any extra from the original quote which was simply for the SMOG test. Nevertheless, because they were so kind and unbelievable, I wanted to pay them more but the owner wouldn't allow it...He said, " I never take advantage of women." I will never go any place else!! Thanks guys for being REMARKABLE!!! PS: I'll be back with my Mazda Miata!!
