Any Car Services

I just returned home after getting my car smogged here and wanted to write a review right away. I was headed towards 21^st Avenue Smog Test but the guy sounded pretty surly over the phone, so I was excited when I stumbled upon Any Car on the drive over and saw that it was STAR-​certified (which I needed for my car). Vic was extremely genuine and friendly which definitely made me feel like I was in good hands. Definitely come here if you want a trustworthy mechanic!

I came in here pretty upset when my 95 integra finally died on me. Vic was incredibly professional, fair, and really kind. This is a truly stand up guy; he has plaques all over his wall from various organizations he has worked with a even a donation drop off on his premises. He wished me the best of luck on car shopping and told me to call if I had any questions – which I did, and he happily gave me knoledgable and practical advice. I really coudn’t have been more impressed. Highly recommend.

Used to have better experiences. Service unfortunately declined over time.

If they are related to Any Car Service Inc. (at the same address) no thanks.

2^nd visit for a SMOG check in 3 years. Passed the first time each visit! Thank GOODNESS!
Extremely happy to support a local business as well as get my car serviced correctly. I was told to bring it back if a check engine light comes on, and I should replace my battery (lots of acid build up and it looked GROSS).
Smog tests are not as cheap as they used to be, but I am very happy.
Thanks Vic!

Victor provided outstanding customer service and graciously accommodated my last minute service request. He clearly communicated his findings and differentiated between required and recommended repairs. His prices were extremely reasonable and were reflective of work that I agreed to have done. I highly recommend this shop.

I have taken my car to Victor 3 times since moving here last year. He is always very respectful, tells me exactly what the car needs and what can wait a while, and charges reasonable rates. As a woman, I particularly appreciate that he never talks down to me and doesn’t just talk to my husband when we bring the car in for a service.

Victor knows his stuff. My family has brought our cars to him for repair for over 15 years. He got my car to pass smog today which was amazing. It is a family run, ethical business and you can always trust that you will get a good value. I would recommend him to work on any make or model that is brought in.

I have taken my car there twice in the last year and they have done a decent job. The owner Victor is a nice guy and appreciates that my car is old and he tries to keep the price down and not over repair.
My only complaint is that he, like most other mechanics, is using a database to look up the amount of labor that he charges for the job and if it says 2.25 hours to do the job he multiplies 2.25 times his hourly rate — I forget what it is — and charges that for the job — plus parts. I suspect those labor times are usually over-​estimating the amount of time. I want to find a local car mechanic that will just keep track of the time he works and charge for that. I don’t mind paying someone $ 100/​hr for a full hour of work but not when the job really only takes him a half hour.
(I can see why they charge this way when they have a small one or two man shop; they are probably constantly being interrupted and it would pretty difficult to really keep track of every minute like a blankidy blank lawyer.)
So I will go back to Any Car until I find a mechanic that I can trust to just charge me only for the actual labor.

3 stars is actually pretty good for a gas station! I mean, no one really enjoys getting gas, right?
This location serves up high quality gas without all of the crowding and extra fees of the ARCO across the street. Prices usually run $.05-.07 more than ARCO, but once you figure in the $.40 fee that ARCO charges you’ll wind up almost even. This station is rarely full, so you usually don’t have to wait for a pump. Its a slight bit run down, but I’ve never had any problems with the pumps or anything like that. If you want a newer station try the Shell on the next block.
