Jay and the staff are great. Mom & pop local business with integrity. I totally trust them for all our car repairs. We tend to keep cars forever so having a real mechanic is crucial. They have early drop-off and have been fine keeping cars overnight if we cant get there in time to pick them up.

They were very honest and forthcoming, which seems to be hard to find when it comes to auto repair shops. I would definitely go back there.

If you have car issues. Come and see Mike and his team. I have been bringing my cars to him and his crew for years. They care. They are reliable and above all.....HONEST. I promise you they will take good care of you.

Have taken 6 cars there over the past 8 years, and have excellent service and work every time. Price is always fair and never feel sold on unnecessary work. This is the only shop Ive ever fully trusted.

Oil change and SMOG. Easy in & out. I had to go back because a lamp was lit on the dash which wasnt when I brought it in. They took my car in right away and gave it their full attention, resolved it, and I was outta there. Nice people.

Great shop, excellent techs, great work, and excellent custom service. Along with the great work these guys did on 2 of my vehicles the went out of their way to help my find someone to help me with finding someone to do some work they could not. Will be back for sure anytime I have an issue I cant fix or a smog needing done. Shout out to Mike for making all those phone calls for me, saved the day!

We took our car with oil leak problems to a few different places and no one ever figured out the problem. Other places just refilled the oil and filter. Mike and crew diagnosed the problem and gave us two possible fixes in order of cost. While the car required both fixes, its now back in running order.

I went to El Camino Smog and Repair for a smog and they were great. Very friendly and professional. Only took about 30 minutes from walking in the door to leaving with my vehicle. Highly recommend them.

I booked an appointment after being turned away from the DMV for not having my smog certificate. The first appointment available was two hours from then. I gave my vehicle year make and model during the reservation. I arrived to find no parking, just to have them tell me that they can’t smog my vehicle due to it being Diesel despite me giving them all my vehicle information over the phone. For obvious reasons this was a huge waste of time when taking time off work to go to the DMV. It seemed like the guys there were new and inexperienced. I would not recommend.

I have been using El Camino Smog for many years. They are always so dependable. All the guys I have delt with are very knowledgeable and courteous. After the death of my husband, Mike has always gone out of his way to insure I understood everything that was happening to my vehicle. He has even given me a ride when I needed it. You couldnt find a nicer and more caring individual. I would recommend them to anyone in need of vehicle repair.

My check engine light came on the same day I purchased the car from a private party. So the seller suggested I take it here to be diagnosed. I ran my FIXD device on it to reveal it was most likely a Catalytic converter problem. So I dropped the car off at 8am for a check engine light diagnosis. I got a call back around 3pm with the results. It was as I thought... A cat converter. So for $120 and 7 hrs my theory was confirmed. These guys know what they are doing and are very thorough. But the prices are super high.

I called to make an appointment for a smog check and they got me in the next day. Once there, I decided to add an oil change also. Both the smog check and oil change took only 40 minutes. Very impressed! Great service!

El Camino Smog and Repair is one of the most trustworthy, honest mechanics out there. Theyve always taken care of all of my vehicles and are really responsive. When ever they can, they charge less hours than the dealers, but will never charge more hours than what the dealers say it should take to resolve the issues.

DO NOT GO TO EL CAMINO SMOG AND REPAIR! The people are nice but they offer no discounts, accept no coupons and DO NOT GIVE YOU ONE FREE IF YOU FAIL UNLESS THEY DO THE REPAIRS! Maybe I am just a penny-pincher and maybe this is how most major smog places operate, but, in the past, I have always been able to find smaller smog-only places where the base price is at least ten bucks less and they accept coupons making it even cheaper, and are always happy to give you a free re-smog!
