Not recommended for smogs. They are not willing to check if all the modules are set before doing the smog, this literally takes 1 min. They said if it fails for whatever reason even if is for the modules not being set you pay full price and there is not free re-test. They went from friendly to not friendly when I decided not to do it. Bad customer service.

Worst shop I’ve ever encountered. Charged 2x for a brake inspection! Over 100.00 each time. Please watch out for this shop and think twice before you get your car fixed or inspected. They will take advantage and find excuses so they can charge you more and more and more………… All shops have that intension to ensure the safety of the vehicles you are servicing or inspecting. The difference is that you are doing business with the intention of taking advantage of your customers. I went to another shop and the inspections passed with flying colors. The Better Business Bureau need to know how you operate your business - that is without honesty and integrity.

Dont go here for SMOG. I called, got a "qoute" for my vehicle, when I get there they said, "oh that will cost more". Not only that, they dont do free retests where as most place do. Plenty of other options within 2-3 miles. Go elsewhere.

Had a shell 1970 Chevy Camaro that Dave helped me put together. Love seeing that process and learning about everything that goes into building a car. The service has always been friendly and I would refer all my friends with car issues to this Chevron.

I bought a nissan quest van and took it for a smog check and brake and lamp inspection and they told me that the control arm was welded and that it was very dangerous they also kindly showed me other details that had to be changed immediately for my safety and the cost for the repairs was a bit high because it was a lot of things and the man I bought the vehicle from agreed to pay a part and I was super happy with the work of the guys in the workshop, my truck is in perfect condition and the best thing was that they worked very quickly to deliver it to me 100% recomended

Price Gouging should be illegal!! Almost 7 bucks for a gallon? Don’t you dare blame it on the crude oil price. The guy at the register needs extensive anger management & customer service training.

Thanks to Dave and Corey for getting my 1970 Camaro back on the road. I have a ton of after market parts on this car it's hard to find a shop that even knows what a carburetor is any more let alone will touch an "updated" classic for a reasonable price. The highest recommendation for these guys, they can fix what you need fixing. Very easy to work with. Didn't nickel and dime me.. just made it right. I will definitely be coming back for future projects...

Wonderful experience as always!

hope the gas price will get lower....

Bought a energizer aaa battery and did not work, Probably old stock, I politely ask for exchange but the guy said hes gonna call some1 because there is no exhange policy for battery and the guy never appeared. Lesson learned.

My go to for smog check. I called at 8am to book an appointment and 30 minutes later I had a pass and on my way home. Very kind and friendly front mechanic. I can’t say enough good things about these guys. Price $80 but you definitely get what you pay for. Fast friendly service.

Closet Cheveron I could find. The guy at the counter was very nice, bathrooms mostly clean and all stocked up, and pump handle was recently wiped off. Only complaints: prices are high and they forgot to sanitize the keypad and screen buttons.

Maximum expensive gas station.

We take all of our family cars here for service—from high end cars to our kids cars. Dave the owner is honest and helpful with options on what to do with our cars depending on the issues we are having. Also love that I can drop off and pick up the cars during the gas station hours vs regular car service hours.

I love that this Chevron is owned by a local family! They are always extremely welcoming, helpful, and very resourceful for all auto needs.

I never usually write reviews but i brought my car in for a smog test (I bought it from the dealership 2 years ago) and it came with an aftermarket air intake (which IS CARB certified) and the man inspecting it failed it on visual, and even though i argued that it was carb certified regardless of not having an air box he wouldn't budge. So i went home and called the manufacturer of the intake and they said it's totally fine for Cali smog tests and is 100% carb certified and they sent me an executive order for it as well and he didn't even read and didnt budge. Went to 2 places star certified smog tests after and both spots said there's nothing wrong with is when they looked at the CARB sticker and the paperwork for it. I do not recommend going here for car related test and services..Horrible experience

Please, do not ever go to this guy Dave for any car repairs,he is very offensive. When I asked him why he was charging a lot money to repair my car. He literally flipped me off. I was speechless so I left . I will not recommend this place no even to my worth enemies.
