United Smog has got to be the best kept secret in Salinas. I am very picky who works on my…read morevehicles, as I do my own mechanical work myself, (every mechanic is out to screw you)... That being said I have an 1986 Honda Accord and had issues with it running right. I'm not a foreign mechanic and was at a loss. I went to two other shops, one in Paso Robles that gave up, and Salinas Honda that had their 40 year supervisor tech mechanic try and repair. He was rude, cocky and if how to repair is not in the computer they have, they don't know what the hell they're doing. He said..... this car is junk and will never pass smog or run right!! Pissed off I called around and Jose at United Smog (owner) answered and I told him the story, his response was... I can fix it, bring it in. I was speechless !! But what did I have to lose other than another big bill. This place is tucked in the back corner of commission st and appeared clean in appearance. I met Jose who was very polite, knowledgeable and professional. After all my experiences I've had with this car, I reluctantly left my Honda that was my mother's first new car. (Sentimental to me) Let me tell you in two days he found all the issues, I had one shop install a new carburetor and Honda replaced spark plug wires, well the new carburetor was bad... go figure Salinas Honda specialist couldn't find, but Jose at United was right on it. Ordered new carburetor, Jose installed along with repairing other issues and HOLY MOLY I have a new running car!!!! Jose is the real deal and he is training his staff to learn hands on how to repair vehicles the ole fashion way along with new technology. You will not be disappointed giving Jose a chance. Please tell him I referred you all, cause he has a customer for life as long as I own a car I can't repair on my own. Thank You All at United Smog !!!!!

The lady who answers the phone refused to let her make an appointment. She stated she need to check if she could come in. What?!? The third time which was today. The lady hung up on her. What kind of company is this if the person who answers the phone is rude and unwelcoming. We will never ever try and do business with this company ever again.

I had an incredibly frustrating experience at this shop and will not be returning. I highly…read morerecommend looking elsewhere if you value your time or expect basic professional courtesy. I had appointment. When I arrived, the first staff member flatly told me they couldn't do it. Conflicting Information: A second worker stepped in and told me to park in a specific spot, promising I would be the "next car." Instead, I sat there and watched them take multiple other vehicles ahead of me. When I politely asked for an update, the first employee explained that other cars take more time. I said ok. then the other person who said was the boss started an argument with me, condescendingly saying, "You're in a hurry!" as if expecting them to honor my appointment and their own word was unreasonable. The level of communication here is non-existent, and the staff's attitude is combative. If you don't want to waste your afternoon being lied to and then insulted for noticing, go somewhere else. A smog check takes 15 minutes; there's no reason for it to come with this much drama.

I had gotten an alignment twice before at another business & first time was off/weird/worse than when I brought it in. I purchased a 1 yr. unlimited realignment for a year.

Awesome alignment. The service was/is excellent. FYI, I went in the morning, they had a staff meeting & asked me to wait. Im glad I did. The owner aligned my car.
