Really fast inspection and even cut me a break when I was short a few dollars. I live in marina del Rey but it was worth the drive. Bonus is that a licensed smog station is right next door to this business.

If you are required to do the DMV California Brake and Light certifications, this is one of the best places to take your vehicle. You do not need to make an appointment and the inspections are done 'first come, first serve' basis. And, this inspection center charges you only when your vehicle passes the inspection which is also a plus, in my view. When I visited this place today for my vehicle's brake and light inspections, I paid a fee of $160.00 for the service which is, I think, reasonable.If you have replaced the worn brakes, non-working bulbs in head lamps, signals, reverse, brake including the center brake light lamp etc., your vehicle will pass the inspection in the very first one. My vehicle passed the inspections, first time and I am very pleased with the service received.

Incredible ownership and hands on work. Extraordinary skill at installation and certification!Quick, easy, fast process!I can t recommend this business enough for one reason! Leon!!! He went above and beyond the scope of duty and helped me with a myriad of issues related to my vehicle!I have a salvage vehicle that I am attempting to retitle, an absolute nightmare by the way!!!DO NOT DO IT, if you are not forced to do it!!!!!!However, if you are forced to do it by circumstance, this is THE ONLY place to do it! It can be a long, tedious drive but worth it for the extra care and attention given to you by Leon!He is an angel ! 100 stars !Nice job! Highly recommend for a very unpleasant process that California regulations require and part of the horrible experience of retaining a car attempting to salvage!Warning warning , it s still a gamble because you may have issues with THE SMOG certification- another hoop that adds on insulting to injury costs to this financially crippling process!DMV feels like a racket! Sorry, I am venting! But this is my truth and my experience of being a car driver in California!

Needed a brake and lamp inspection to register my salvage vehicle for the dmv.After looking and calling a few places, this place stood out since they do not charge for failed tests.Ends up I had to fix quite a few things, which the owner pointed out succinctly. I drive away and after completing the fixes (bulb replacements and rear brakes), he inspected my car again and it passed.Great service and professionalism.Paid $160 via credit card.Highly recommended.

The place to go in all of LA County for an official Brake & Light inspection to revive a Salvage vehicle. I searched locally but all found were way overpriced so drove over 70 miles to this place and I'm happy I did. $140 and wasn't a long wait

I am so happy to have found this place, Levon was so professional and transparent about what I needed, I will use him as my mechanic forever!It's so rare as a woman to be treated with respect when dealing with automotive stuff, and at this shop I felt like family! A few other reviews mentioned this too, but I wanted to stress how rare and amazing it is to *know* that you are getting good advice and not being convinced into work you don't need.I was even trying to figure out what other work I could have them do (as I don't live anywhere near the shop, figured I'd get as much taken care of while I was there) and Levon said no, my van was in good shape, and to be careful about parking under my lemon tree, as he found a rotting lemon in the engine cavity and explained that lemons can attract squirrels and other animals that might chew on the hoses etc., so to watch out to keep that from happening.He even did something magic to my headlights (the plastic had fogged over) so they'd be clear again, said it was important that I be able to see on the road at night...Who does extra work for free these days - because it's the right thing to do? My (now and forever!!) "uncle" Levon, that's who!!Thank you so much!

I needed brake and light certification for a salvage title and after calling many places, I found this one on Google. The service was excellent and I was in and out in about 20 minutes! Best part was they charged less than many quotes I'd seen online from other places! Definitely recommend these guys!!

I came in yesterday to get my lights and brakes inspected, the guy running the shop said that you only have to pay if you pass, took one glance at my vehicle and let me know what I needed. Came back today with all of the things fixed passed inspection! Extremely good customer service Very speedy and fairly priced.

I went to the shop today to get a brake and light inspection for my motorcycle. This was a great shop. Owned and operated by an incredibly nice gentleman. We need to support small businesses like this! He was very helpful, and I will bring my cars and bikes for service here.

I brought my truck to one of the few machanic shops in L A county claiming to preform brake & light inspections. After a few minutes of having my truck up on the lift rack my truck was lowered & pulled outside with the motor running. I was told I had a short in the wiring. Get it fixed & bring it back. Ya right he didn't know the first thing about fixing my truck. Here I sit not knowing if I will be able to clear my truck & complete the Action required to sit pretty.
