I asked him before I do brakes and lights inspection if the car is going to fail and he told me I can’t tell you that. then he proceeded to fail my car based on a crack in the windshield and a crack in one of the headlights he could have literally seen the windshield and the headlight and told me he can’t pass it, but he chose to get paid in cash because he doesn’t accept credit cards or debit cards just so he can fail the car. All he cares about is getting paid and he doesn’t care about customers.

Sayeed was very tentative and thorough for the vehicle safety inspect I paid him to do. I had just bought a salvage Audi and was concerned about some of the issues it could have that I didn't notice when buying the car. Sayeed came back to me with a clean report and assured me that the vehicle I bought was very safe and in good shape. He gave me some recommendations to maintain the vehicle in the future and sent me on my way. Thank you!

The place is shady. The guy kept changing his prices and acting like he was giving me a deal. 140 bucks for him to fail My inspection over a tail light color. Then charge me another $120 the next day to reinspect me changing a light bulb. And had the nerve to act like he was doing me a favor by passing me. Another guy rolled up asking about illegitimate emissions test.. weird place

Sayed really came through for me. Was able to get me in for VSI and smog inspection same day last Thursday and at a very fair price so I could handle my salvage with the DMV. Would recommend to all and will be back for future service.

To those that are reading this, I would like to add confidence in your choice to use Auto Best. My wife and I have chosen to have our cars serviced by Sayed because of his detail to service, the quality of the service and excellent communication. We have never felt uncomfortable with asking questions and the work performed has always been done properly. Sayed uses the theory, "measure twice" theory, always giving us options before completing the work. I have all the confidence that Sayed will treat you as he has treated our family, with respect and excellent quality of work.

This guy's a swindler. He told me $120 For a break and light inspectionI and when I got here it changed to $200. I wish I would've not spent my money here but again he got me with the 120 and then through an extra 80 dollars on top . way over Priced look around find somewhere else don't come here.

I called for an uber/lyft inspection $99 dollars is crazy. He wanted to know my car year and model to charge me more when I told him my car details.

This is the most honest and reliable auto smog, emissions and auto service location I ever found. The honesty and integrity of the owner Mr. Sayed is absolutely cannot be compare with any other service center. I’m a proud customer of this service center for years. I always taken care with great respect and with unbeatable service fees. As I have faith and trust build up over the years and I certainly recommend this location 100% for every individual to give a try and I’m 100% positive that you’ll never look into any other service center ever. Mr. Sayed - his honesty is the key reason for me to keep my ongoing relationship for years to his service center. For sure you’ll never be fooled in this service center, because Mr. Sayed is an very honest auto technician. I wish Mr. Sayed all best and his service center.

I'm writing a review to warn people about this guy! I don't write negative reviews, but this guy is a bit shady and a little bit of a con artist! He quoted $150 for a brake and light inspection and when asked if he does free reinspection, he doesn't give you a straight forward answer and makes you believe he doesn't have issues with passing vehicles. I was not able to use my $20 online coupon because he said he's already giving me a discount from $299. When my car did not pass, he told me he would reinspect for $100 more. I'm reading other reviews about this guy and he's been shady to other customers about pricing and his work. Please don't go here! It's better to pay a little more and get a free reinspection and straight answers!

Shop owner-proprietor Sayed is a gentleman as well as a professional. His candor matches his expertise, and through the stressful experience of Salvage Titling my vehicle, he was up front about complications, repairs and (California’s frustrating) regulations. This process is not easy or inexpensive, no matter what the accident inspector says, so you need an inspection/repairs shop that does honest work. Auto Best is such a place. Recommended.

Came in to get the Vehicle Safety Inspection needed to get registration for my out of state rebuild title vehicle and had everything ready quickly! It was a pleasure doing business with the owner of the shop!

I came to *Auto Best Smog Check* to get a smog test done, and unfortunately, my car didn’t pass. But Sayed was incredibly helpful — he didn’t just send me on my way. He took the time to explain the *BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair) vehicle retirement program*, something I wasn’t even fully aware of. He walked me through the whole process and guided me step-by-step on how to apply and get compensated. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely wants to help people. Highly recommend this shop and especially Sayed if you want honest service and expert guidance!

$100 for a simple Lyft inspection on a brand new car is ridiculous. This is usually a $20–$30 service everywhere else. Total rip-off

I was so pleasantly surprised by my experience here with Sayed. Not only did he do an amazing job with my vehicle after I had taken it to several other mechanics, but he is honest and thorough. There was a small comfortable waiting room with water, magazines, and so much more than I expected, honestly. I highly recommend him and will definitely be sending more business and returning with my own vehicle. BTW his communication was above and beyond from my very first text
