    Smog check, fast and reliable
    Kenneth S.

    The only place I smog my car. Always fast and reliable! Off hours are best to avoid the lines. Open Sunday's for a bit

    This shop is great! Great service, great price even I didn't know about the discount ($55 total with certification). The owner/tech was helpful, friendly and honest. I don't know about the 1 star, but I think the customers were the problem on these cases. Have a wonderful day to everyone!

    Went last minute without an appointment and got in right away 30 min to closing. They honored my Valpak coupon price and got me out of there within 15 min. There's a waiting room on the side where they test your car or you can sit on the bench if it's full inside. They usually have their STAR certified rating but still waiting on it for this year. Maybe will get that in a month or two from this review? Very nice and professional. They take credit and Apple Pay if you are wondering.

    I had a great experience at S&S Smog Check Star Test Only with Jack! As soon as I pulled in around…read more10 AM, a UPS truck arrived right before me for a smog check too, which told me this place is trusted by locals. Jack immediately greeted me, told me it would be about 15 minutes, and invited me to wait inside while I paid my DMV registration online. The office is currently being updated, but it was clean, smelled fresh, and had plenty of seating. By the time I finished my registration, my car was already being prepared for service. Jack has been in business since the 1980s and at this location for the last 10 years, and you can tell he knows his stuff. He was friendly, funny, and easy to talk to. Yelp sent my request to five smog shops, and Jack was the first to respond and had the best pricing. He even took the time to explain what a "Star certified smog" meant when another shop said they weren't. Quick, stress-free, and great customer service. If you need a smog check, it's definitely worth the drive to see Jack!

So as I pick up my registration mail, so I can log online and pay on the dmv website, I realize I needed a smog check. I was searching for a spot nearby that would get me in and out fairly quickly. I used the Yelp search engine and Jack was one of the first people to respond. His prices were also pretty affordable and he was flexible. I asked to come in on a Saturday which he agreed to but I later needed to come in on Friday instead. It wasn't an issue at all. I drove over during a late lunch break and I was met with warmness and a lot of humor. Jack was very friendly, personable and while he was helping another customer, he let me know I could wait in the office and he would be with me shortly. The service took maybe 5-7 minutes and I was out of there in 10-15mins. As Jack was handing me my paperwork, he mentioned that the smog certification was already on its way to the DMV. Thank you for your quick and thorough service! I paid my registration the next day with no issue. Stay funny Jack!

    Exceptional Service, Integrity, and Trust -- Highly Recommend Ray at 101 Auto Repair…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ray and the team at 101 Auto Repair. I've been bringing my vehicles to Ray since the early 2000s, and he has consistently proven himself to be honest, knowledgeable, and someone I can completely trust. I drive a 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport, and now that I'm past the factory warranty, it is incredibly important for me to know I have a mechanic who will give me accurate information and fair pricing--without taking advantage of the situation. Ray has always done exactly that. Over the past few months, I've had a few issues arise. When my car overheated and was losing coolant, Ray quickly diagnosed a leaking hose and repaired it the very same day, getting me safely back on the road at a fair price. Another time, when the check engine light came on, he identified that it was simply the battery and replaced it efficiently. What I appreciate most is his honesty. Just yesterday, my check engine light came on again, and after running diagnostics, Ray explained that the system was detecting vapor from the refueling area and that I likely just needed to tighten my gas cap. He could have easily charged me for unnecessary work, but instead, he gave me the correct guidance--and didn't charge me a thing. He has even helped me with small things, like replacing the battery in my key fob, at no cost. Ray is the kind of mechanic everyone hopes to find--skilled, fair, honest, and genuinely committed to taking care of his customers. When you leave his shop, you feel confident and secure knowing your vehicle was serviced correctly. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic who will treat you with integrity and respect, I highly recommend Ray and 101 Auto Repair.

    Worst place to go to. Prices are ridiculously high. Will…read morenever return. The dealer charged me way cheaper than this mechanic.
