The tech was cool. Older cat who made little jokes. The owner in the office was arguing with someone over the phone super loudly so it was all awkward for awhile. When he hung up finally and I told him I wanted to use the online coupon he proceeded to yell at me saying he is too understaffed to honor the coupon. I probably should’ve left right there but instead I paid the regular price and moved on. They did a good job with my smog check.

They always seem to get my car in right away. Sam is very friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. After front and real wheel brake replacement and serpentine belt replacement, he even took care of some other minor issues like rotating the tires at no charge.

Honest and trustworthy - this is not the first time I’ve been here- but my first post - Sam and his family are very reliable honest and trustworthy - we have brought both of our cars (2010 Toyota Prius & 2017 Hyundai Ioniq) for minor and major fixes - and his team has always done a good job. Highly Recommend

Speedy took care of my 2014 tacoma. Sam was so helpful and explained in detail what the services my truck needed, and why. Great customer service, detailed oriented, and very professional. I will be back for any servicing that my truck needs.

Old reliable, Speedy auto repair. I was having major issues with my Shift mechanism and they took care of it. I have never had an issue coming here. I have been coming here for different automotive problems for the last 5 years. Ask for Sam, he's your person of contact there and of course his Dad.

READ ALL OF THE 1 STAR REVIEWS AND THINK AGAIN IF YOU ARE THINKING OF TAKING YOUR CAR TO THIS SHOP. I had taken multiple cars here over the past 12 years for SMOG tests only. Always fast and easy...always passed. Last week I took two cars in. Same good service on the first one that passed. Next day my 2nd car failed the smog test because the system was not ready. I asked if it just need to be driven more to warm up since there were no check engine lights on, etc. He said no (he denies that I asked that question) and that they had to diagnose it to find out what was wrong and that would cost $199. I agree and Uber'd home. They called by end of day with a quote for $1,700 to replace all 4 oxygen sensors. The quote worked out to be about 6 hours of labor after the parts quote. I went on a Forum for my car and found out that replacing the oxygen sensors is a 2 hour job and they probably didn't need to be replaced to pass the smog. I purchased a $40 Scanner/Code Reader, plugged it in and did a "drive cycle" suggested on the forum. The "not ready" changed to "ready" and I drove to "Speedy" to get my smog certificate. They "only" charged me 50% for the 2nd smog test. It would have been "free" if they did the $1,700 of UNNEEDED REPAIRS to pass, but since I fixed it myself (just by driving it mind you) they charge for the 2nd test. I asked for a refund of the $199 diagnostic fee since the car didn't need the repairs they diagnosed to pass the smog. They refused and said the diagnosis is correct and the car still needs the oxygen sensors. I asked if it was worth $200 for them to lose a 12 year customer and they promised me a discount ("whatever I want" NEXT TIME). I promised them there will not be a next time!

Excellent service!! This is a great operation. We had a vague, intermittent issue with our 2017 Jetta and the Speedy team was patient, thorough, and extremely transparent. It’s hard to find a mechanic you trust. These guys definitely inspire confidence!

Dany is amazing! He is a mechanic I trust (and you know the feeling of having one you trust)! He fixed my car's air filter issue and is fair, fast and an overall awesome person. I now refer all my friends and coworkers to him. Thank you Dany!

Dany is great and very knowledgeable. He fixed up my 1998 z3 to pass a smog check and replaced some old parts. He was clear and fair on pricing, giving me options for different levels of repairs. I was seen immediately and communication was prompt and clear. I'm very happy to find a reliable place to bring my car to for anything.

My initial call with Speedy's was the most promising of any mechanic I've called. I had described my vehicle and this family owned company immediately boasted about their Proficiency in my 1993 Toyota Pickup style of engine. I needed a simple catalytic converter replacement for it to be smog ready. During that replacement, they notified me of my O2 sensors being aftermarket, while also describing how this in addition to my bad cat was the reason for the lacking performance in my engine. Needless to say, after I picked up my truck from it's one night stay at Speedy's, every issue I once had up and disappeared. I really appreciate the work they have done and couldn't have taken this truck to a better place. Thank you Sam for you hard work and diligence!

The team at Speedy Auto Repair is easy to work with, and they keep my car running well. They have found and fixed problems I was experiencing with my diesel Mercedes and recommended scheduling preventative maintenance for my car to continue performing. But they're never pushy with any repairs. It's always up to me, and they are happy to answer any questions I have regarding the repair. They always show me the old parts that were taken out of the car and explain what failed. I always appreciate learning more about my vehicle and how I can keep it running well! I also appreciate them always recommending OEM parts for the vehicle.

2001 Nissan ExTerra had mysterious electrical problem that they traced and fixed. Also they did major deferred maintenance on the engine. The work was fast, excellent, and fairly priced, including labor for some small items not charged. Sam explained the work, showed all removed parts and why they failed. Then he pointed to all the new parts in the engine compartment and that they were all genuine Nissan brand. Highly recommended!

I was heading to a last second trip to Las Vegas and Dany was amazing in helping me get my car fully set up for that long trip. He did the Oil change, replaced my battery, ordered me tires (which came in very fast) and did my alignment all in a very timely manner. I was very impressed with how he worked and how professional he was during the entire encounter. I will be bringing my cars to him for routine maintenance. Because the people at speedy Auto are fair, respectful, understanding, and very smart when it comes to diagnosing problems. They never pressured me with going down a certain path they gave me options for how to fix my car based on the budget I was working on. And that was really refreshing because most places just try to fix your car in a way so you spend the most but at speedy they understand everyone isn’t made of money.

Have been using this shop for years. The most important thing about them is the honesty towards people like me that don't know enough about engines to make good decisions. They are very competent and faster than any garage I've ever been to. Will always use them for repairs and advice.

SAVE TIME and MONEY - when your car needs a smog test, bring it here first. If it fails the smog test, Sam will repair it right and then guarantee your car will pass! You won’t have to run all over town from one mechanic to another who may not have the experience to correct the problem. I spent time and money making that mistake. Then I found Speedy Auto. These people know what they’re doing, quickly and correctly!
