I was on Yelp looking for smog testing nearby that was open at 7am, this was the only one. Most of the other shops open at 8am or 9am.

I've been bringing my cars to Jack at Universal Smog & Repair for the past 18 years, through three…read moredifferent vehicles, and I can honestly say there isn't another mechanic I trust more. Jack is one of the most honest, hardworking, and genuinely kind people you'll ever meet. His integrity is unmatched. A few years ago, when my last car was on its last legs, he could have easily taken my money to keep repairing it. Instead, he told me it wasn't worth it and that if I were his own daughter, he'd tell me to sell it and move on. That conversation alone speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. As a woman, it can be intimidating trying to find a mechanic who doesn't talk down to you, overcharge you, or leave you out of the conversation. Jack has never made me feel that way. He takes the time to explain what's going on, answers every question with patience, and always recommends what's best for me, not what's best for his bottom line. Honest mechanics are hard to find, and Jack is the real deal. His son Michael is following right in his footsteps. He's incredibly kind, thoughtful, and truly understands what customer service means. When my car was totaled in an accident and towed to their shop, Michael stayed after closing to make sure the tow truck arrived safely and that I had a ride home. He absolutely didn't have to do that, but he did anyway. You simply can't teach that kind of integrity and compassion. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust completely, Jack and Michael are it. I recommend them to everyone I know.

I understand shops can be busy, especially close to closing time, but the tone and attitude made it feel like I was inconveniencing him just by being there. Because of that, I decided to leave and not return. First impressions matter, especially when it comes to trust and communication.

Anyways, I found this place on yelp and it was so close to home that I knew it was the place I would go to plus it's STAR Certified which is what the DMV requires when a smog check is required for your registration. The place itself is small and super clean but kind of out there with the advertising you can't miss it. The gentleman working was super helpful with my questions and made the process a breeze and we were done in about 10-15 minutes. After the smog check, he gave me my paperwork back and sent it directly to the DMV and it was done. I found the price to be fair and you have the option to pay cash or card.
