I did not let the two negative reviews bother me knowing that satisfied customers do not take the time to write a review. I got excellent, fast and friendly service with my 99 Solara for the smog test. It is also the most inexspensive with the coupon. Thank you!

Santiago and his crew came to the rescue. Excellent work and done in a timely manner. Went out of their way to ensure I could continue on our trip to Georgia

Wonderful Service, Fast, Great Price and Friendly Staff! I called ahead to see if they had a time available and they scheduled me within the hour, in less then twenty minutes they were done and my car was waiting for me outside. They also gave me the option to receive my tags at the location, which is super convenient. The testing bay was very clean and organized, which is always a plus and a sign of a professional and ethical business ! I will be recommending them to all my friends and family !

Guess I'll be the first to give a one star. Diagnosed my car as needed a new engine. Took it else where for a second opinion. And that shop fixed the issue. $3k saved! They might have 5 stars, but doesn't mean their honest. Do you're homework if your car breaks down! Because you might be taken to the cleaners for unnecessary repairs haha

The only place in the whole Coachella Valley I’ll take any of my vehicles. I am always 100% satisfied with their work.

Not sure I’ve ever visited a higher quality service shop anywhere in America. I’m a full time nomad, single woman traveler. Had some van trouble in the area and stumbled on this shop by chance. Santiago and his employees were extremely thorough, honest, friendly and don’t talk down to women. He found an issue with my van that I didn’t even know about. Got me in and out in three hours on a Saturday and my van is running better than ever. Can’t recommend this place enough!

My car's engine seized 50 miles west of Indio, and I had the good fortune to be towed to Santiago Cruz's shop. He was incredibly helpful, and his crew know what they're doing. He is a fine person, mechanic and shop owner with a ton of experience and a heart of gold. Thank you, Santiago!

I have to give a shout out to Pancho and Santiago, the owners of this shop. Pancho met me and the tow truck driver at the shop Saturday evening around 5:30 PM, LONG after the shop had closed, to receive my vehicle which was a tremendous blessing. The Tow Truck driver recommended this shop saying how many times they have helped other people after hours who became stranded. My transmission had blown out and by Monday morning, they ran a diagnostic, confirmed the problem and provided me with options. By mid week, my vehicle was repaired and it has been driving great for the past 4 days. I highly recommend Pancho and Santiago and their shop and am so appreciative of their willingness to go above and beyond on the Saturday I brought the vehicle in. Definitely recommend them.

Great quality service. I called to get an estimate on price and Pancho assisted me. He was honest and detailed on services. Went it to get a diagnostic got a call back and again was given great service. Everything was explained perfectly and prices are reasonable. My car got fixed within one day. When I picked up vehicle Santiago assisted me and he was also friendly and reviewed invoice and warranty with me. I trust this place and highly recommend.
