This is the closest star certified smog by my home. When I went in to get certified he asked me to pop open my hood, before he even hooked up my car to the machine. In the end, he told me my car didn't pass because my hoses were broken and didn't pass the machine. He said he could get the parts and do the labor. I waited for 30 min while he checked with suppliers to see when he could get the part. By this time I had been at the location for about an hour and they had told me at max I would see there 15 min. I asked if I could leave my number and have them call me when they knew the part would be in and how much the labor would cost. A month passes, I hear nothing from them. I swing by and the mechanic tells me Hoss is gone for the day. I decide to ask a different mechanic shop to fix the hoses. They fix it in one day. I bring it to Hoss to do a complimentary recheck, as required by law as I was told by the other mechanic. The other mechanic thought it was sketchy that Hoss wouldn't tell me before hooking up the machine I wouldn't pass because the hoses are worn and that is a visual inspection. When I ask him to recheck he says it has been more than 2 weeks and I must pay again. When we went over the report he gave me last time I asked him what I failed on, he changed his story and said I failed visual inspection. I just got bad vibes and felt ripped off because 1) he checked my car before hooking up the machine, knowing I would fail but did it anyway 2) did not tell me about the 2 week window for rechecks 3) I waited for him to call me back to which he didn't, had I know that I would of immediate asked someone else to do it and would have been back in within that week 4) changed his story about why I failed and what I needed to do to pass. He told me I would need to pass again. I left. I felt like he wasn't being honest or professional with me. I wish if they didn't have time to work on my car or didn't have the part or whatever the reason is for why they just left me in limbo, they should have called and let me know instead of waiting for me to follow up with them thinking I was waiting for them to do their due diligence.

My new repair shop for sure. Everyone is friendly and straight to the point. Hoss is very flexible and offers competitive prices and fast turn around for San Diego!! Appreciate the work from the techs for my BMW and mustang and hope to continue our business relationship for my vehicle repairs. Thanks again!!!

During my visit to University Ave, I decided to gather quotes for a rear signal light replacement on my 2015 VW Passat. I had an initial conversation with Hoss, who claimed that their approach would involve inspecting the electrical system underneath the dashboard to identify the problem. When I inquired about the possibility of a simple bulb replacement, Hoss adamantly refused, stating that they would only attempt the most extensive and expensive service before considering anything else. In an effort to gain more knowledge on the matter, I conducted my own research online and discovered that a bulb replacement was a viable option. Consequently, I purchased a bulb for a mere $10.99 and, to my surprise, the replacement process merely took 10 minutes. It became evident that if I had not been skeptical and taken matters into my own hands, this establishment could have effortlessly charged me an exorbitant amount of $300 or even more. This fraudulent behavior is absolutely appalling, and it is a strong indication that this establishment should cease its operations. I can only fathom the number of unsuspecting individuals who have fallen victim to their deceitful practices. It is imperative that prospective customers exercise extreme caution when considering this establishment for any automotive services. Such dishonest practices should not be tolerated, and it is crucial to spread awareness to protect others from becoming victims of this blatant scam.

REALLY kind people here. I came in because I'd had a tire pressure light come on in my car and they checked everything and had me back on the road super fast.

These two men were Rude!!! Was referred by the Smog shop up the street.(who was VERY kind but not Star Certified) The men here, however, did not speak English well, Did not speak when I pulled In to inquire about service, and half answered my questions once I got to asking!. How frustrating! Might as well not be there.
