    BE AWARE: Major scammer, took my car in for a routine smog check. They charged me full $40.00 for a smog that they failed cause the car's computer and sensors had not booted up fully after a recent battery change. They told me I would have to drive 100 miles and come back another time to pay for another smog check. I took my car 14-miles down the street to Lambert Smog Center and passed it no less than 45-minutes later. Do not waste your time and money with this shop. Everywhere else I've talked to told me in that circumstance the correct thing to do is to allow the customer to drive around for 30min-1hour and come back to pass them without an additional charge. These guys wanted to double dip on me.

    They installed the incorrect battery size!! Do not go here!!

    Great place for a Star Smog test. Value Auto Service is quick, friendly, and honest. Prices are very competitive.

He is Neel the owner (as you might've guessed) of this establishment on Imperial Hwy, which is thankfully not too far from us. He diagnoses quickly, gets the job done efficiently, charges reasonably compared to other mechanics we've gone to in the area, and above all is a man of integrity--he's allowed us to pay for certain repairs days later to make sure our car is running properly first. He is transparent about his shop's limitations (they don't do German cars but refer us to highly rated shops nearby). He is clearly very experienced and knows how to weigh the best repair options, especially for older vehicles. I plan on relying on Neel for years to come. Cheers!

They were busy but insured me it would only be about two hours for an oil change, break inspection, and tire rotation. Got a call about an hour later from Neel himself saying my Rav 4 was ready to go and didn't hassle me about doing any additional work, which I feel you get every time at a mechanic shop. It was a great feeling to just get the service and feed back you requested. Thanks Neel and Hector for the honestly, professional input, and transparency. Look forward to working with your company in the future. Only downside is parking. Be patient and you'll find one.

    I couldn't be happier with the multiple services I received for my Honda Odyssey at Good Guy's!…read moreFrom start to finish, Mr. Mark Smith was an absolute standout. Mark handled everything--routine maintenance, a couple of repairs, and even some preventive work--with incredible skill and attention to detail. He took the time to walk me through every step, explained my options clearly (without any upselling pressure), and made sure I fully understood what was being done and why. His knowledge of Honda vehicles is outstanding; he diagnosed issues quickly and fixed them right the first time. My Odyssey now drives smoother, quieter, and more reliably than it has in years. What really sets Mark apart is his genuine care and professionalism. He treated my family's minivan like it was his own, kept me updated throughout the process, and even followed up afterward to make sure everything was still running perfectly. In a world where good customer service can be hard to find, Mark is the real deal. If you own a Honda (or any vehicle) and want honest, expert work from someone you can truly trust, go see Mr. Mark Smith at Good Guy's. He's the best in the business and has earned my loyalty for life. Thank you, Mark--you're a true professional and a great guy! Highly, highly recommended! -- Ali, Yorba Linda, CA

They figured out the cause and took care of our crazy issue making a ton of noise. They also gave me a list of maintenance things that could be done, but also have honest suggestions on what made sense vs what did not matter. The cost of the repairs and other work were very reasonable and much less than it would have been at the dealer. The only issue is parking there is horrid lol.

    I came to Pep Boys for a simple tire installation on my 2025 Honda Pilot Trailsport -- tires I had…read morepurchased through Tire Rack and shipped directly to this location. What followed was one of the worst consumer experiences of my life, involving an unnecessary $2,247 repair, discarded property, and damage to my vehicle that required a Honda dealership to diagnose and document. My vehicle drove flawlessly for hundreds of miles before Pep Boys ever touched it. During the tire installation, they informed me my wheel hub was damaged and needed replacement. I was under time pressure with a camping trip the following weekend, so I trusted them. They told me they would source OEM parts directly from Honda. The total? $2,247. What I got instead: 1. MY TIRES WERE DISCARDED WITHOUT MY CONSENT. I had planned to sell them -- they had significant tread life remaining. Pep Boys threw them away and told me it was too late to recover them. That is not their property to dispose of. 2. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME DAMAGED. When I picked up my car, the dash was lit up with multiple warning lights and error messages. I could not change drive modes, AWD was non-functional, and I could not even open the power tailgate. When I raised this with Pep Boys, their explanation was that the car was behaving as if it had been in a collision. That is not an explanation -- that is deflection. 3. HONDA CONFIRMED THE DAMAGE AND THE DECEPTION. I took the vehicle to the Honda dealership, where an inspection revealed the hub replacement had been performed with poor workmanship and -- critically -- non-OEM parts. Pep Boys explicitly told me they were sourcing parts from Honda. That was not true. I came in for a tire mount and balance. I left $2,247 poorer, without my tires, and with a damaged vehicle that required dealer intervention to assess. I have never been such a clear-cut victim of incompetence, dishonesty, and disregard for a customer's property and safety. I am formally requesting that Pep Boys corporate review this case in full. I have documentation from the Honda dealership confirming the findings above. This is not a complaint about a bad experience -- this is a complaint about conduct that caused real financial harm and left my family driving an unsafe vehicle.
