The Best Smog and Auto Repair

They are super nice and friendly. Smog check is quick and if you fail, they let you come back again for free. Upside for me was they told me why my check engine light was on and my fella was able to make the part switch, so my car passed today, after failing last week.
There’s always a coupon online and for me it’s convenient. Headed there after the gym. For an extra $ 10 you can get a car wash, but I prefer my car dirty and if you are hungry they also pizza, which is odd, but hey their bases are all covered!

Even though this place specializes in Smog checks, I highly recommend them for auto repair. They are unbelievably honest. I brought my car in for an oil change and was told it didn’t need one; there was enough oil. Also they are very kind.

Quick smog check and good service! Good location where you can walk to eat a snack while waiting for your car. Guy gave me a discount on the smog check, everything sent to DMV a-​ok.

I loved how they have me a discount even when I didn’t ask for one. That’s rare. Very nice people and good at what they do.

Took my truck there today for a smog check. Service was quick and affordable. I came from out-​of-​state and he walked me through everything required for California registration. It is a pretty busy area with a few other nearby businesses, so come during a non-​rush hour time and you shouldn’t have to wait unreasonably long.

Amazing service, really honest and great prices. I would recommend these guys for just about anything at this point!

Dropped in for a smog check early on a Saturday morning. They were busy, but took me right away. Great, fast service, very friendly and convenient. Would definitely go again.

I’ve had a smog check done here on two of my cars here. Everything was easy and timely.

Great service and great prices. Always accurate on time estimates and I trust their recommendations for repairs. Most importantly they are always willing to explain things.

Another good experience with best smog check this week. Took my Lexus for Oil change. All fine and neat. They even fixed some minor issues I did not realize my car had. Loved the service — on time and on budget, plus got treated with a tea while waiting for my car. Thanks a lot Vardan & Artush

Glad that I found The Best Smog and Auto Repair on Unilocal!I needed my bi annual smog test, and was looking for a location that would make it as easy as possible. This is a great little business, friendly, professional and excellent service.
Two tips that helped me – a very busy shop, especially on weekends. So consider making a reservation first. Also, the coupons on the website make it even more attractive.
They also do other auto repairs, so I plan to return prior to my next smog test.

They’ve always done a good job for me. Note: Unilocal currently says they open at 7:30 but it’s actually 8am…

I took my car in for a 30k service (oil change and cabin filter) I guess for over $ 200 which is already pricey but whatever I can live with it.
The part that I am annoyed about is, I always take my car to subaru for my oil changes and Best Auto Repair is the only other mechanic thats touched my car beside the dealership. During my last visit to Subaru they said my oil pan is ruined because the last mechanic stripped the plug. He then said the mechanic tried to seal it back up with some sort of sealant but it was a matter of time until I had to buy a brand new oil pan ($ 300) and now im terrified of going to any other mechanic beside the dealership.
I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone. I will only go to the dealership from now on.

I resent someone who advertises such an early opening time to snag the «hurry in before work» crowd and then doesn’t deliver. I called and confirmed their opening time before closing yesterday, and yet, when I arrived at 7:30 as confirmed, they weren’t open. I waited 20 minutes, called three times, and sat there as I looked up another place nearby, called them and set an 8am appointment. I left just before 8am for my other appointment and still, the place was closed as it disappeared in my rear view on my way to what was ultimately a better experience. If you’re considering coming here before work — don’t. Go to the nearby places that open when they say they do and save yourself the hassle.

Advertises that he is open at 730, verbally confirmed I would bring my car in at 8am for a smog check. Shop was closed when I arrived at 8am. So frustrated. No answer when I called the number on the outside of the shop.

We brought our cars in here for an oil change and Jim really took care of us. By far the cheapest oil change around! Not to mention topping off all our fluids and checking filters etc. They seemed very honest and did not even charge for labor! I’ll definitely be back again!

This has to be one of the most ethical auto shops in the city. I originally took my car in for a smog check and didn’t pass because of my EVAP system. So one of the owners, Vartan, said it could be my gas cap. He charged me $ 15 and said if it didn’t work he would refund me. Tried it but it didn’t solve the problem
So I took it back to him and he said he had to run a diagnostic and it would cost $ 80. Fair enough I figured. After the diagnostic, the guy said I had to replace a part and it would be $ 120 parts and labor. BUT he wasn’t sure it was going to solve the problem and that I may need to take it to the dealer afterwards. I was frustrated, but figured it was worth a try
So he replaces the part and calls me to tell me that it didn’t work and that I should take my car to the dealer. At first I was like CRAP! Out $ 214 and still not solved!
BUT to my surprise when I picked up the car, Vartan told me NO CHARGE! Plus he gave me back the $ 15 for the gas cap! Needless to say I was blown away!
I would give 5 stars if he had fixed the problem. But to his credit he said it was probably the computer, which he couldn’t service. But 4 BIG stars for professional service!

Yesterday I got a smog check here. The staff was friendly and informative, it took less than 30 minutes and was $ 49. Overall a good experience!

I just took my wife’s 2005 Totoya Matrix. Her mait. light went off and her check engine light was on then off. Damn these guys are way honest and super affordable and understanding. Thanks Vartan.

Vartan and his partner are the most honest mechanics in town.
I’ve been using they’re services for about 5 years. They’re prices are not only fair but reasonable. I have made the mistake of going to the dealer and getting ripped off.
Vartan is a straight shooter… he tells you he will try to figure out the problem and if he cant he will say so. I totally trust his expertise and will continue to use his services.
The BEST SMOG is Awesome!!!
