Absolutely incompetent. Came here for the convenience and left with an incorrect fail due to a VISUAL inspection. Idiot assumed that because a hose was not black that it was not stock. Do some research or better yet ASK me the question. The car was already smog refereed and passed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Blew it off to me and said just to come back next week and would pass me then???[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No one has time for this nonsense. STOP WASTING PEOPLES TIME BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO LOOK THINGS UP! ***Give me a call back before I submit my complaint on you*** (See attached photo) Update: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Technician stated he would not pass me and fail me again because I was not "nice".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cannot make this stuff up. Received a refund. Complaint submitted to CA Bar. read more

If you need a pre-purchase inspection or any auto repair, whether it be european, american, japanese made, etc, and EVs, take your car here and don't think twice. We reached out to Arnold for a pre-purchase inspection. While six other places quoted us $250-$350 for a "comprehensive" inspection, we paid Arnold $100, which was a STEAL for what he did, even more than what the others promised. He spent at least two hours thoroughly checking the vehicle, test driving it and walking us through every detail so we truly understood its condition. We were looking at buying an Audi Q4 e-tron that had a damage report. A reputable dealership told us it was "minor" and offered to take it to the mechanic for our peace of mind. After browsing Yelp and reading the amazing reviews, we decided to come here instead and I'm so glad we did. I had already done my due diligence and familiarized myself with the vehicle and potential issues. I asked Arnold very specific, technical questions that I already knew the answers to. He answered every single one with clarity and confidence and everything I was expecting to hear. My husband stayed the entire time, and Arnold patiently explained everything while inspecting the car. You can tell he was that kid that made the auto shop his playground growing up. He's passionate, meticulous, and GENUINELY cares. What impressed me most is that Arnold will never pressure you. He won't tell you "don't buy it," but he will clearly explain what could go wrong and what it might cost to fix. When I pressed him for his honest opinion, he said he personally wouldn't buy it at the listed price but if we negotiated it lower, then it might be worth considering. That level of honesty is RARE. They are your small local auto shop but I would choose them over any flashy, grandiose service center any day. Their integrity and transparency make them stand out. Thank you so much, Arnold and your dad, for the amazing service. We ended up just buying a Tesla!

He also very thoroughly explains the next steps to take. There is a little waiting area with chairs, and it's under the roof, so if it's raining, you won't get wet. This location has one stall, but there's usually not a long line at all. There was one customers car getting checked when I arrived, so I waited only a few minutes, and then another car pulled up as I was leaving. We were there for a total time of 1/2 hour. This business is closed on Sundays, but open every other day of the week. I will be back in 2 years for my next DMV required smog check.

He called and was informed, there are the certificate electronically transfer fee which was around $ 8. The older man was really fast with the smog check.

Vr Smog is located at the end of the alley, there's a standing sign right in front of the door to let customers know where the smog check garage is at.
