Went to get my smog and everything passed a couple minutes after driving my light came on for my egr valve they said it would be around 350 to fix and then they also said that my light inspection did not pass because of something obscuring my rear light. Charged me for labor and all that. Soon as they pulled the car out I saw it was a glove and asked if they could change it to passing they said no and would have to charge me to do the entire labor again. Money hungry mechanics

Needed to get my Mustang smogged and was recommended to go to Paisano's by my Dad. Pulled up and the owner took me right in, no waiting and was out of there in less than 15 minutes. Quick, Efficient, Friendly and the Owner was very welcoming and professional, would definitely take any future repairs to this shop and recommend for anyone else.

Took my car there not really knowing what was wrong with it( would have a knock while idling) . They where able to trouble shoot it and diagnosed the problem. As well as provide a fair price. So far I haven't had no issues with the work performed.

I have personally met and conversed many times with the owner Javier. He is an upstanding auto and truck repair professional with the highest standards and ethics. I would recommend his company to repair the car of my own mother. You can trust him also.

Had a great experience here. I needed a brake and lamp inspection done and was able to be seen right away and Javier was able to take care of the things needed to pass my inspection.

Failed my brake and light inspection because one head light needed to be "polished". They wanted 50 dollars to polish headlight or 53 if I polish it myself and bring it back for a "retest". Took my truck to business a few doors down and passed with no issue. Will never do business with this place again and I would advise others to consider their options before coming here.

Friendly staff, reasonable price, honest and reliable service. I needed a brake and lamp inspection after making corrections from a failed inspection at different business. There aren’t many shops certified for brake and lamp, so I’m grateful to have found Paisanos Auto Repair and Smog. I hadn’t reinstalled my bumper cover before showing up. They informed me to have my bumper installed because it has two reflectors that must be in place to pass the DMV inspection. I came back with my bumper installed, the car passed and allowed me to re-register for 2023! Much appreciated!

Scammers. Never take your car there I paid 2500 for a converter issue the same diagnostics from a different auto shop. Took three weeks to get my car back and when I did, they gave it back with a new code. When they should’ve told me to retire the vehicle in the first place before they took my money

This was my first experience at this shop, but nonetheless it was a pleasant one. I took my older Honda Civic LX here for an overdue smog check, and Javier, the mechanic, was very pleasant and helpful. I think I only had to wait 20-25 minutes in total for my car, and that was only due to the fact that so many other customers kept showing up to get work done as well. I think the popularity of this shop is well-deserved. All in all, I would highly recommended stopping by this location if you need a smog check or other auto repair work done. You definitely can't go wrong. I do have one minor complaint, though - there is only one very small area to park in and maneuver your vehicle around when entering the location. However, for services rendered, this criticism seems negligible. Five stars.

This place knows ahead of time your car will not pass a safety inspection and they still have you do it and at the end charge them selves. Owner is pathetic and tries to be smart with his clients!

This place is an absolute scam. I took my vehicle there to get a breaking lamp inspection. The guy flagged my vehicle for having a according to him transmission hose leak when it was condensation from my AC he does anything so that you can continue coming back and he continually charges you $197 for his break and lamp inspection. I would not go there. My brother-in-law told me I shouldn’t go there because they overcharged him twice on two of his things. He went there for absolute scam. They should close this business down

This place is a scam he charged for a break inspection and failed due to a spare tire not being in the car which is not part of the inspection then threatens my wife to keep the car and not release it unless she pays a extra 100$ to get the pare tire put on and then re inspected even tough it’s been inspected and done straight shady scam 9th street typical jokers stay away from this place and beware
