    Gilbert is an awesome honest man! I was referred to him from a friend because my Honda HRV was having issues starting. Gilbert was very honest about the diagnosis and communicates before any job is performed. Since then I've taken a Honda Civic and Hyundai Veloster which also had issues. I am not from the area but I will make the drive out to Smog Pros because I know Gilbert will get the job done and is very honest. Thanks again to Gilbert and your team! FYI. The shop towards the end of the plaza on the right side when you drive in

    Came in on a Saturday morning and Adrian helped us out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast and friendly service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Adrian was very helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Last week I went in to have my brakes checked because I'd been hearing a faint high-pitched noise…read morewhen braking, especially at low speeds when braking or releasing the brakes. I explained this issue over the phone, and again when I arrived. The shop said my front brakes and rotors were worn, so I had both replaced. I assumed this was the reason for the noise. The staff were friendly, helpful, and the price seemed fair. However, after the replacement, the same noise was still there - which was the main reason I came in to begin with. My front brakes would need replacing eventually, but I went in mainly to diagnose the noise. They offered to check the front brakes again for free. They put my car on the lift to listen for brake noise. While I could clearly hear the high-pitched noise each time when braking, the owner said he was unable to hear it. This confused me, because my wife and child can hear the noise every time we leave the driveway. When they backed my car out, we all could hear the high-pitched noise from the rear brakes (not the front brakes). It felt like my main concern wasn't fully addressed during my first visit. I felt like I was first sold a repair (new brakes) before having my actual concerns addressed (noise). Now I'm doubting whether I also needed to replace my water pump that day - which they said was leaking when I first visited to get the brake noise checked. I paid to replace that too, but was it actually necessary, or an upsell? They said they'd take off the rear wheels for $80 to check for debris and clean them, but at this point I'm not confident they would be able to diagnose my issue anymore. I don't want to spend any more money at this shop to check something that should have been checked when I asked on my first visit. To reiterate, all of the staff were friendly and I was treated respectfully and honestly - just to be clear for anyone reading to the end. But I will be looking elsewhere for a shop that listens to customers' concerns before charging for work. UPDATE: After reading the owner's response, I feel shocked. Again, I originally came in only to diagnose a noise - not specifically to replace brakes or rotors (or a water pump). I was happy to pay for new ones in order to solve my issue - the noise. I clearly communicated I was trying to solve the noise both times. I don't appreciate being told it's my fault for not pointing out exactly which wheels the noise was coming from. I'm downgrading this from a 3-star to a 1-star review due to this response. UPDATE 2: No, I was not shown any of my old or new parts before or after replacement - I sat in the waiting room while the work was being done; during the second visit, I was only shown my own car on the lift while trying to diagnose the sound, without any parts removed. But I'm not sure what that has to do with my review. My original noise concern was not resolved, and they didn't seem able to diagnose my issue. The owner's replies to my review sound very unprofessional and accusatory (do you reply like this to every review that's not 5 stars?) and I won't be replying here anymore.

Over the past 10 years, I've bought and sold many vehicles and worked with over 20 inspectors. Their job is to meticulously examine the car and deliver a detailed report to the buyer. Unfortunately, my experience with Steve was far from satisfactory. He arrived 20 minutes late and took over three hours to inspect the car. After checking my security footage, I saw he spent much of the time doing little, sitting in the car with the AC on, and repeatedly revving the engine. He also left fingerprints all over the vehicle during his inspection. I've worked with numerous inspectors and respect their expertise, but Steve's conduct was unprofessional. He even interrupted my wife, who was working from home, to have her come out and activate the turn signals to verify they worked--an absurd request for a supposed professional. Rather than providing a thorough inspection, Steve seemed more focused on driving the car and offering subjective opinions, like stating the car was "uncomfortable" and not ideal for long drives. A quick look at his past reviews reveals similar complaints. While his rates may be lower than those of a qualified mechanic or inspector, you get what you pay for. He left a mess on the passenger seat and called me with basic questions, such as why a red light indicated an open door, which any competent inspector should know. I'm writing this to spare others the frustration. For a reliable inspection, invest in a professional--it's worth the extra cost. I will not permit Steve to inspect any of my vehicles in the future.

    A friend of mine recommended Adam, and I couldn't be happier that I reached out to him…read more From our very first phone call, Adam was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He treated me like we'd known each other for over 10 years, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in working with him. Over the past three months, I've hired several car inspectors while searching for the right vehicle, and I can honestly say I've never worked with anyone like Adam. He went above and beyond every expectation. His inspection was thorough, his communication was excellent, and his honesty gave me complete peace of mind throughout the entire process. What impressed me even more was that he didn't just inspect the car--he also helped me coordinate the shipping, something he absolutely didn't have to do. That level of customer service is rare. If you're buying a car and need a pre-purchase inspection, I strongly, strongly recommend Adam. He's honest, professional, reliable, and truly cares about helping his clients make the right decision. Thank you, Adam! It was a pleasure working with you. Luigi

Got on a call with him to give him the info needed, he then took the lead to organize the meet up with the private seller and I awaited his final report. That debrief call was one of the most memorable aspects to this experience as it's very obvious how much of a car enthusiast Adam is. I learned a great deal from him and impressed by his attention to detail. This is how all inspections should be done. Lastly, I can't express my gratitude to him. I know it was a service that I paid for but it truly saved me a lot of headache and simply gave me peace of mind knowing that my purchase would be worth it. This was my first but definitely not last inspection by Adam. God-willing, there will be many more to come!

Hiring Henry was the best money I spent during the whole process. He went out to the dealership, spent a ton of time going over the car, and sent me detailed videos, photos, and a full report of everything he found. Nothing felt rushed; the man spent over 2.5 hours under the sun! He checked the car over like it was his own and pointed out both the good and the bad. After reviewing everything he sent me, I felt so much more confident moving forward with the purchase. The peace of mind alone was worth every dollar. If you're buying a used car, especially if you're out of state or can't inspect it yourself, do yourself a favor and hire Henry. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. Thank you, Henry!!
