    Water and coke

    Circled a bit to find the shop, but once I found it was in the back of the plaza, I was able to get serviced right away. Very small shop, I was the only one there. I found this place while searching for coupons for a STAR certified smog check center. This place had the best deal at $36.75 plus processing fee which came out to $45 total. They had a sign mentioning credit cards will get a surcharge added, which I didn't know beforehand but luckily I had some cash to get my smog check done for $45. I liked that they offered water and soda in the waiting room. Everything was done in less than 15 mins. Glad I got this done and over with. I would come back if the price remains competitive in the future.

    I meant to write this review right away, but life gets in the way. I was procrastinating in getting my Star Certified Smog check. I went to my usual place the Friday after 4th of July and it was CLOSED! I began to scour through www.smogtips.com from my phone to search for a coupon and a place that would get me in right away since my license plate tags were due in a few days. I saw a coupon deal that was comparable to my regular place, and decided to give them a call. I spoke to George, who happens to be the owner. He said he would honor the coupon from Smogtips.com & there was currently no wait. The place is pretty tricky to find, hidden in an industrial complex on the corner, but there is a smog check sign in the driveway where you enter. George greeted me right away, and I was IN & OUT in 15-20 min! Now that's the type of service I'm talking about! After my coupon, the bill was $45. No problem! Still cheaper than other places that quoted my car. George is a one-man show who does everything. He told me that typically the wait time is approximately 15-30 min ..he only does smog checks all day long. Best to call to see how busy he is. Very clean establishment. I will definitely consider him again on my next smog check!

    Very nice person. Best service in OC. He charge the lowest. If you need smog just come here.

    George is the owner of this fine establishment

    I bring all my vehicles here, old and new. For pre 2000 year vehicles, it's alot more work as I see him doing the visual inspections, dyno tests, gas cap tests, and evaporative tests. His prices are fair and I know he's trustworthy as I've been going to him even before he moved to this location. Always a pleasure doing business with him and definitely recommend this business!

    My baby was in good hands with george.i got her smogged no problem.

    George does a great job of smogging the car with a friendly demeanor, and with a respective not wasting the customers time.

    I recently had a great experience with Action Auto and wanted to share…read more My Honda CR-Z driver-side door handle mechanism stopped working (apparently a common issue with these cars). I had already purchased an OEM replacement handle from an authorized Honda parts dealer, and initially planned to have the dealership install it. However, the dealership quoted me a very high labor cost and required me to leave my car overnight due to their busy schedule. After doing some research, I found Action Auto in Cypress and spoke with Mark. From the very first phone call, Mark was friendly, professional, and transparent. Best of all, his quote was about half the price of what the dealership wanted to charge. The convenience was a huge bonus. They told me I could bring my car in anytime between 8am-5pm (and even Sundays 8am-3pm). I dropped off my car at 8:30am, and it was ready by lunchtime the same day. On top of that, they even offered a complimentary shuttle ride home--something the dealership no longer provides. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Mark's customer service was outstanding both over the phone and in person. The shop itself was clean and well-organized, and I noticed several repeat customers while I was there, which says a lot about their reputation. Most importantly, my door handle works perfectly now--just like when I first bought the car. I'll definitely be coming back to Action Auto for future repairs. Thank you, Mark, for making this such an easy and positive experience!

    We have been taking our car to Action Auto for over a year, and honestly, this is how every shop…read moreshould operate. No upselling, no runaround, no "don't call us, we'll call you" and disappear. Just straight-up honest work and clear communication. They break everything down in a way that actually makes sense, they get the job done quickly, and they don't make me feel like I am getting taken for a ride (which can be rare nowadays). If you're tired of guessing whether you can trust your mechanic, this is the spot.
