Appointments take 15 mins Unfortunate my smog didn't pass but the experience that I had I would highly recommend for those who don't want to wait around or prefer it to be more structured and not packed. This is it! Easy location to access, tons of parking, and quick and done in 15 mins. No DMV form needed but can bring it if you want. They will scan your VIN. Since my smog test didn't pass he allowed me to come back to get it redone within the time frame. Very thoughtful! Cost wise! Soooo affordable! Best believe I'll be back again. I live in SJ but will drive for this service and price can't beat that!

I'm no spring chicken and in all my years, the crew at this tiny little shop are truly the best. They're the only ones that I trust 100% with my car and that I trust 100% are providing honest recommendations. My car is 14 years old and after one visit here a couple of weeks ago, it's driving better than it has in years. They went above and beyond to ensure my vehicle performs at it's best. They're a one stop mechanic that handles all your basic automative needs. Very relieved to have found these folks. Let's keep them in business for years to come.

I bought a brand new Lexus GX, Now; previously I've been taking all my maintenance & other needs to a Lexus dealer. After realizing I'm just dumping money away, I needed a solid mechanic that only stands by their work with quality but also knows what they are actually doing. Guys, save all your time and effort and go to this place. Not only Christian has saved my thousands but also he stands by his work! If he gives you his word, best believe it will happen!

Came in 20 minutes before closing n they still did an efficient job with fantastic quality service!…read more I mention 20 minutes before closing bc one place I used to go actually shoo'd me away for an oil change, so this was very refreshing. I came here once a while ago and scrambled to recall the name n decided to look it up on Yelp today n the name rang a bell and I got over there as soon as I could. The customer service was fantastic, especially given the circumstances of them closing in 20 minutes, and for such a short time for interaction, they should leave a good impression. I really wish I would've asked for their names individually so I can properly show them some gratitude, but hopefully a yelp review and a Google review with five stars oughta have the same effect. Ever since crossing the bridge from Hayward, I've been looking for my go to oil change spot, and I think I definitely found it. See you guys soon!

I highly recommend this place to get your oil changed, they charge really fairly (my car with…read moresynthetic oil was around $100), they always show you the new oil filter they're going to put in your car, and they show the engine oil dipstick after adding all the oil to show they filled it to the top level and that it's clean. Overall service is soo fast -- I got there at around noon on a Wednesday and there were only a few people in front of me and probably in 5-10 minutes they had me pull up, and then in another 15 minutes the appointment was complete. The staff is always polite and everything is really efficient. They also top up fluids. It's super worth coming out here every time!

For a quick smog I can only say good things!…read more After reading some of the negative reviews I was a little worried, but after being pleasantly greeted by the cashier who told me to wait for the mechanic (which only took a few minutes) I handed him my DMV renewal paper I received in the mail. He was extremely appreciative that I did as it saves them time and can expedite the process. I handed the mechanic my car key and he told me to come back in forty five minutes to an hour. It only took about twenty five before I received a phone call stating my car had been completed. I went back to the cashier side of the shop, paid with my phone and had a kind chat with the attendant about how I am new to the area and how he enjoyed growing up in this part of the Bay Area. If you need a quick no-nonsense smog, go to these guys! If you're worried about time they appreciate a quick call and weekdays are less busy.

L-A-Z-Y !!!! This guy! I've been taking my cars to him for years (I have 4 now, used to have 5)…read more I would watch him as he worked. Super slow and as I said LAZY. One of my cars is a classic 1978. I know smog guys don't like doing them because they have to do a little work instead of just plugging a car into a computer. But the law says I have to get them smogged and the state says these STAR stations have to test. There is a workaround to that to just be an ass. I pulled in and parked at approximately 9:30 am. The owner(?) came out and said the smog guy wouldn't be back for a while. I said I'd wait. He pulled in another car that came after me. Smog dude sauntered over to me after about 45 minutes. He asked what I wanted (Ummm, a smog check. I have been bringing this car there for years. He also said he knew the car and I reminded him it always passed). He said I'd have to leave it and pick it up later. I told him i'd wait. He said that I couldn't wait because he had that other car was taken after mine. I told him I am disabled and didn't have anywhere I could go. I said I was fine with waiting. He said he wouldn't allow me to wait. He then said I could pick it up the next day. I was not going to leave my classic car on his unsecured lot overnight. He then said I could pick it up at the end of the day. I said, "And Uber home?" He said "I don't care what you do". Once it was determined that he wouldn't allow me to wait (what????!!!!) and my only option was to leave the car I started pulling out never to return. The owner (?) walked out. I flagged him over and said that I won't be bringing the two other cars that are due to get smogged there and he waved me off like a big FU because of his partner's "policies" - which I don't know what are besides laziness. I will also not buy gas there anymore. I have two other neighbors that used to use them that I told about it who were shocked about their behavior and will not go there again and hopefully some yelpers won't go there ever. I am a kind person. I interacted with both of them pleasantly as I do with everyone orginally until this went south. This came at me way wrong. I was not asking them to do anything outside of their business. If They had an appointment model, I would have used it.
