I have been taking our vehicles here for many years. Over this time, I have been very satisfied that the work being done is necessary and done professionally.A few things that I particularly appreciate here are that they give give realistic options after a diagnosis of the car. I also appreciate the pride that they take in their work. Brian, the owner, wants to let you know what he did and why he did it. I love this because it shows me he cares about what he is doing. I also appreciate how personable they are.

My husband and I moved across the country a few years ago and no longer have access to my dads garage and fancy tools (dang), and we found Brian and his family at master tech the first time we couldn t do a repair on our own. They tackle anything that gets too complicated for us to do on the street or too challenging for us to figure out, and we are so grateful for their honest expert services, helpful advice and fair prices. We ve been bringing our troubles back to them over the years, and we ll continue to do so as long as we can!Thank you guys!

I've been going to this place for years, mostly for smog. They're quick, pro, and reasonably priced. Small town style mom and pop outfit, so don't a expect royal treatment (not a great place for Karen unless that's your name). Really friendly group, though, so better for it. It's the kind of local place people keep coming back to for decades. I like 'em.

Love this place. Came in for a smog they were done in like 10 minutes! Shop is nice and simple. Staff is super friendly and very accommodating. Came back because I was having an issue with my cooling system in my Tahoe and they took care of it and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciate that. I will definately come back to them with any future vehicle issues.

My experience here was amazing. Shannon and her family are amazingly friendly. I was originally looking at a $1200+ job. They were quick to check for a way to avoid that. I only ended up paying 94 for diagnosis and 10 for smog. I am greatly appreciative of there service!

I found this place shortly after they opened when I found a coupon for a smog check. AWESOME people!! I have been back numerous times with multiple cars and my daughter now goes there. Very honest and trustworthy, with great pricing. They are incredibly nice and informative. No tricks here. Just great service! I don't go anywhere else.

Master Tech, Master Tech!! Shannon and Brian, are such beautiful people! Even though it's a business, they are so fair and honest! They gave me big gigantic break by only telling what was really necessary to be fixed compared to my dealers quoted price on some front end work!

I called to see if they had any times available, they were incredibly professional and helpful in getting scheduled quickly and with a time that fit my schedule. When I arrived they had me in and out in 15 minutes, incredibly fast and friendly service at a great price. I will be back for the next Smog check!

Brian did the SMOG check on our 98 Camry. Came out clean on a 300,000 mile engine.Another time we went to him with a tricky gas leak. He pulled the gas tank and fixed it. And he has done other repairs and reasonably priced. We are so grateful to have this wholesome family business in the neighborhood..Shannon runs the front office with a pleasant waiting room, of this nostalgic 1930s era 'gas station.'Yes, they have a Yorkie named 'Killer,' in the back room.Brian's price was much less than expected and his work is excellent.What can I say?He has us as loyal customers and I recommend them to everyone. A joy to visit.

Super friendly place to go! I had a gas smell in my car and Brian found it and fixed it! Thank gosh it was minor! Hourly Rate Was $59 For The Month Of March So It Didn't Cost much!! Brian was very informative and his wife was very nice and very helpful! I hope the best for these two and will return if I need anything done to my car!! =D

These guys are fast, cheap, and very personable. I have gone here for a few years for SMOG'ing. having never had a car in California, they helped me through the whole SMOG certification process and explained the filing integration with the DMV the first time. Process usually takes 10 to 30 min.

Called in for a same day appointment and they got me in immediately. Fast service, no wifi (but with the amount of time I waited <20min it wasn t a big deal), great price, and an easy to find location. What more can you ask for, definitely a highly recommended Smog shop.

Always recommend these folks. Friendly family run shop. Brian has tons of experience and is excellent and efficient. They're always fair with pricing too. Also a great quick place to get Smog done and they usually have Groupon available for it too!!!

These guys are great! Shannon and Brian make a good team. You feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door with Shannon's pleasant smile and greeting as well as the comfortable waiting room. Brian worked on a Mercedes 320 ML we have that wasn't cooling when turning on the air conditioner. He not only did a very thorough examination for a very reasonable price, but gave us a conservative option to try first (which is working!) as well as informing us of future steps we may need to take to truly fix the problem. We really appreciated that he didn't try to convince us we needed to spend more now, just patiently explained all the options. You can tell he has lots of experience. We would definitely go back as well as recommend their honest service.

We stopped in with a really complicated situation. The mechanic was so nice. You could tell he really cared. He took time with our vehicle. Even though he wasn't able to fix it there he had recommendations and estimated cost of the repairs. This will be my repair place for sure.In addition to the awesome mechanic the staff is amaxing as well. While I was waiting an older lady who was a little unsteady on hrte feet came in. The staff offered her an arm and brought all the paperwork to her. They made her comfortable and didn't act like she was a bother. They treated her exactly the way I would want my mom to be treated.I will recommend this shop to everyone.

I had a Groupon. Made an appointment , so i could sneak in dmv at the last minute, but i called the same day of my appointment to see if i could come in early for my smog. They were like yeah! Let's just say i made it to dmv and i got my registration. I recommend them!

I took my vehicle to a Ford Dealership and had to leave it with them for three days and they couldn't figure out how to fix my 2010 Ford SUV. Brian was able to fix the problem with only a couple hours of troubleshooting and the price was much less than any quote I was given from other repair shops. I highly recommend these guys here!

My 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 was a challenge to get smog certified. There were codes that sent my previous mechanic on wild goose chases. Brian took the time needed to noodle through the root of the problem. He fixed it, smogged it and now I'm good to go. I'll be back. Well done, Brian!Services: Change of ownership, Smog certification, Emissions testing, Registration renewalServices: Change of ownership, Smog certification, Emissions testing, Registration renewal
