“Just Smog is the only place we take our cars. Service is always professional and friendly, The office is clean and has a comfortable place to relax while you wait for your car. I would recommend Just Smog if you’re looking for a new place to smog your car.”
“Solid spot to take your beloved VW in for maintenance/servicing. Brian and Michael run a great shop here! I've taken Tiggy to Metric a few times to get various things taken care of including simple oil changes, to more complex work like a carbon cleaning (poor thing was suffocating from his valves full of carbon).
Prices are fair and competitive, compared to what local stealerships charge. Brian is a certified VW tech, so it's not like you're taking your car to some random tech.
The driveway is shared with a ton of other auto repair shops, and it does get tight in there - so always a good thing to schedule a morning appt so you can get in and out as quickly as possible!
Spacious waiting room if you don't mind the four or so giant resident spiders hanging out in the corner by the waiting room window...”
“My family has had 7 different cars done by Rhino over the years. Grace, Juan, and Alex are absolute pros! They know my wife, kids and I by name and don’t just do terrific work, but provide insights on what they think would be best as well. Really pro!”
“I brought in my Fiat Abarth for a few upgrades and service, new spark plugs, transmission / drain and refill and Alfa Romeo 4C coil pack upgrade. Brandon and the team are extremely knowledgable and great to work with. I highly recommend SMS for anyone with a euro car for service / upgrades. They over delivered on everything they worked on, solid shop.”
“My first time going to Jims automotive shop. My sister referred me. Sam was the guy that helped me. I needed to change out my sparkplugs. Sam changed it out really fast and the price was very good for quality work. The best part was he checked my whole car and made sure it was in good condition. So Sam went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this place for high quality service with exceptional prices.”
“Took my 2018 Jaguar F-Type here for a pre-purchase inspection during my Carvana return window and I’m really glad I did. They caught stuff I never would have found on my own, including mismatched tire sizes, an undisclosed respray on the front bumper, and a seat latch issue. They walked me through everything with videos and photos, gave me a straight opinion instead of upselling repairs, and the written report gave me real leverage to get things covered. Fair price for the peace of mind. If you’re buying a used European car sight unseen, get it inspected here first.”

“With no notice, I was able to get my muffler reattached and at a very reasonable price. Professional, courteous and friendly. I highly recommend this locally owned small business.”
“Always very thorough and helpful! We appreciate your expertise! We’ve been with Ron Catt for around 5 years of service and we are definitely satisfied!”
“I can’t recommend Jeff and Beach Cities Paintless Dent Removal enough! Jeff is a great guy and truly a master at what he does. He’s very skillful and experienced, and he got the dents out so well you’d never know they were there. From start to finish, I had a really wonderful experience working with him. If you need dent repair, Jeff is the person to call. Highly recommend!”
“Great team, upfront with services needed, no upselling, quick turn-around. When my RRS needs work, I make the trek out of the way to this reputable shop. Aleth is professional and communicates everything in detail.
Won’t go anywhere else!”
“I had a great experience at Willy's auto repair shop when I brought my vehicle in for an alignment. The Owner & team were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what my car needed before starting the work. They completed the alignment in a timely fashion and made sure everything was dialed in perfectly.
After the service, my car drives noticeably smoother and the steering feels straight and responsive again. It's clear they take pride in doing quality work and making sure customers leave satisfied. The pricing was very fair and the whole process was easy and stress-free.
I highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs an alignment or other automotive repairs. Honest service, great communication, and excellent results!”
“This is THE PLACE if you own a jeep and want or need work done. I waited to post because i wanted to be genuine and honest, these guys are GOOD, and had to schedule the appointment a few weeks out for that very reason I’m sure. They welded some brackets, and put on a lift for me and gave great advice to keep building on. Thank you Dustin and crew!”
“Serg and the guys at Benzworks are the best! I took my Ferrari in to have coilovers installed after getting quotes from a few different shops, and Benzworks came in with the best pricing. The shop is clean and professional, communication was excellent throughout the process, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. They treated my car with care, and everything came out perfect. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my Ferrari. Highly recommend Serg and the entire Benzworks team!”
“Brought my Sprinter van here for a check engine light issue and some maintenance. Tim and his team were friendly and honest. He took the time to explain their work and did the repairs same day. Price was also fair for their quality work.
I would bring my van back to this shop in the future. Clean and professional business!”
“Danny is great! I had a great experience with Gear Up Tires. They were very upfront, honest, and fair throughout the entire process. They really take care of you and make sure you’re happy with everything. Great service and a great team. Highly recommend Gear Up Tires”
“Amir is the best mechanic around. He made my 1995 bmw 840 Ci purr like a kitten. It is running better than it ever has. He knows his engines and anything about car repairs he can fix.”
“They seem fair and competent. I saved some money vs the dealer. Didn’t try to upsell me. Told me what I could wait on and what was high priority. I dealt with Tim. Had me in and out in 1/2 day for a number of regular maintenance items. He also returned both of my phone calls both before and after I brought the car in. Nice to see given the crappy service you get most other places these days. They are supposed to report to carfax and hopefully that is actually the case. It is one main reason I went there but Tim wasn’t 100% sure. I figure that may be important for resale. Fingers crossed but I don’t think I can look it up without paying for a report.”
“I went to Joey bc my Ridgeline was running ragged and had to take it on a 1100 mile drive. He and Milo went above and beyond to fix and tune it up, and Joey charged me less than other mechanics had quoted me. Milo even showed me how to do other maintenance work and answered bunch of Qs, all with patience and good nature. A rare find.. I would drive a distance to work with these guys again.”
“Bruce is always very helpful and knowledgeable. He makes doing small necessary repairs/maintenance on my 3rd generation Toyota 4runner much easier for me and more efficient. I've been to Ace Auto Parts several times over the years for things such as a car battery, windshield wipers, light bulbs, an air filter and other things like that. He always seems to have exactly the item that I need in sock and is more than happy to offer suggestions, tools, and friendly service to help you. He is more like a neighbor than a store operator, which is a quality that could help other businesses. If you need a part for your vehicle, Ace Auto Parts will probably have it and will do whatever is necessary to help you be successful with installation.

“I hit a curb over the weekend and was worried about getting my car back on the road quickly. Bruce and the team at Autowerks were able to get me in first thing Monday morning, replace the bent tie rods, and get the wheels properly aligned.
They provided great service from start to finish, kept me updated, even washed the car, and had everything completed the same day. I really appreciate how quickly and professionally they handled everything. I’ll definitely be bringing my car back to Autowerks in the future. Highly recommend Bruce and the team!”
“Ken's is awesome. Top shelf mechanics and service. He was able to diagnose and repair my Dodge Ram 1500 pick up. My truck runs better than it ever has now. And when I opened the hood, the work looked completely factory. Would I recommend Ken's automotive? 100% without question.”
“I haven't been in to see Darell for almost 12 years, but I saw him religiously for over 20 years with my Saab. Trinity is the best and most honest place for foreign car service. I will be taking my BMW there soon.”
“Ayed’s team has worked on my cars over the years, and the finished product has always been top-notch. My car had a fiberglass rear wing with some interesting damage due to a subpar respray and then left exposed to the elements. Their expertise on working with fiberglass is just as great as with any other material, and my car is the best it’s ever looked.”
“Called to get a 2nd opinion and spoke with Jim—very gracious. Went in today and got a very honest, quick opinion that confirmed my belief that the HB Toyota dealership was dishonest!?. Truly appreciate the honest assessment. Place is very busy—and he took time!?”
“AMAZING work done here and the prices are great!! Really honest people and been going there for a few years now. As long as your parts are real they’ll let you use it. Came here to fix my catalytic converter and they’re not pushy at all. They’ll listen and work with you. Managed to find out we can fix other things giving the catalytic converter and fixed the problem for 1/10th of the price when other places were trying to upsell! Since then I’ve been a loyal customer for over a year now.”
“We were 2000 miles from home and we couldn't have received better or faster service anywhere!! Going thru the desert with one AC in 115 degree heat was a challenge and now we wont have to face that going back home. Farace's was recommended by The RV Shop and when we saw they were veteran and family owned we knew we would be alright. We use The RV Shop in Louisiana and we are always satisfied with them. Farace's was friendly and extremely efficient. We didn't even need an overnight stay in a hotel. We highly recommend Farace's!!!.”
“Very amazing and quick service. He uses quality products, provides honesty and attention to detail. I would highly recommend to anyone! Very pleased with the service.”
“These guys are honest and so easy to work with. Took my car there yesterday and it was handled in a couple hours. Sampson even looked over other stuff on my car that the dealership was telling me I needed to do just to make a buck. I am so glad my son found you guys. I will be back with any of my vehicle needs. Highly recommended to all my family and friends.”

“I was traveling though OC on 73 coming from San Francisco heading to San Diego when my left from air strut would not hold air, I called Matt’s shop since I couldn’t find a dedicated air suspension shop open and close by that I could have my car towed to. He told me to bring in my Volkswagen cc to take a look, after some diagnosis, Matt and his team found that one of my air lines started to rest on my exhaust shield and melted. Most have been from all the dips, and potholes I couldn’t avoid in time lol. They went out of their way and promptly fixed the line, if I’m in the area again I would come back for any services/repairs!!!”
