The owner showed up 9:30-ish for the few times I visited. He opens the shop. Backing out the driveway onto Mission when service completes always a challenge. Nothing special about this shop. Just SMOG check for me. Rock bottom price for that. Not sure about anything else. Mandrin speaking operator present. There is a room for folks to wait for service. But COVID time everyone stands on the driveway so go on cloudy days to avoid the heat. No cover from the sun.

I have been a customer of Red Box Auto Repair for at least 20+ years. Love there service, always friendly. They do not overcharge or try to come up with more problems then what you went in with. If needed they suggest if something else is wrong. I have recommended them to many family members & friends. Very satisfied with the service there. Thank you Danny!

They always take care of you right away

I went there to get smoke check only.

Smog check $31.If you pay by credit card, additional $1.

A friend suggested that i go to Red Box for an oil change and so i did. The experience was more than great. The owner had the car in an out very fast and the price was low. So now i take my car there for smog checks and also great service and awesome price. This shop is very fair and honest, i now recommend it to all my friends!

I used to come here for all my smog checks as one of my relatives recommended me to them. However, my last experience here made me eventually switch to another place.Lets start with this experience. It was around that time where my 2001 Acura CL needed to get its smog check so i proceeded to go to the place I always went to for these. When I arrived here with my mom, we were greeted and seated to wait for service. However when it became time for us to receive service, the mechanic was saying that he couldnt open the hood. I tried to help him because obviously that isnt the hardest task to do and it is my car so I know where the latch to open my hood is, but by the time I tried to help, he told me he couldnt help me anymore. I was confused and asked why and he said he couldnt open my hood and thus could not service my car. When I offered to help, he still instructed me to leave. I know the owner of a business has the right to refuse service, but that altercation was extremely confusing and I was taken aback. I just did not want to deal with this anymore and just went to the next place I saw. They opened the hood no problem so I was just convinced he was having a bad day.

Speedy smog check service.

Best service. Be its customer for more than 20 years.

Great work. Got an oil change. He was very quick, i didnt even get to finish a chapter i was trying to read. 30ish dollars total. Ill be back as long as im in the area.

I love these guys! Danny and his staff are honest and do good work for a fair price. Ive gone in and said I think the brakes need replacing and Danny has said, No youve got 40% left. Come back in 3-4 months. Who does that? I am a customer for life.

It was late but the technician squeezed me in. Ive gone here for years and always satisfied.

Extremely relieved and grateful that my car is repaired and passed the smog check. Made a $340 repair instead of a nasty dealer suggested $2300. This guy does honest work for a great price. Definitely worth the drive if you want to save an arm and leg.

I have known the owner for 20+ years. Always take my cars there even after I moved away from the area years ago. Honest and reliable. Charge very reasonable. Just wish they were closer to my home. They specialized in Japanese cars.

Today I went to the shop for smoke check. I tell my car have a engine problem, a guy check my car and give me some brief review and charge me money. I am not feel good they cannot give me a complete solution and charge me money. fine. I am high not recommend this shop in Alhambra.

The boss is honest and reliable, He usually gets the job done pretty fast if he isnt talking to other customers. More importantly, He doesnt overcharge you and doesnt make up bs to get you waste money on things you do not need, Like those places run by thugs and high school dropouts (Jiffylube I am looking at you).The place is a little small though, And they dont change tires.

I got there and three other people were standing around waiting. No one came out to address us. As time went on more and more people joined the line. After waiting and being ignored for a while I just walked next door and was helped immediately. My smog check was completed and I was out of there in about 10 mins. I looked over and the same people were in line and hadnt been seen yet. I dont have time to jerk around and the situation couldve been handled differently. If hes too busy to handle the load then say something, put out a sign - closed, appointment only, something. Dont just leave a bunch of people hanging out kicking rocks in your parking lot. Theres other service shops that do provide service. Costed the same $30 too.

Great prices, quick and honest service at a great price!

Great smog check location

25+yrs customer, owner is honest and professional, moved far away and still will go the distance to have him do my smog check.

Its an honest place! I drive 20+ miles for the service!

Narrow Places

The boss is very honest, the price is also fair, the technology is very good, after the inspection, need to help you do, do not need to call you next time (and no charge). His staff declined to comment. （Toyota only) The boss is very honest, the price is fair, and the technology is very good.

This guy doesnt like it, if you ask him if you can come back in 30 min while they change the oil in your car. Why cant I just come back in 30 min? Why do I have to wait in that crusty waiting room with those dirty plastic chairs? Theres something seriously wrong with this guy.This guy doesnt like it, if you ask him if he can come back in 30 minutes, at the same time they change the oil in your car. Why cant I come back within 30 minutes? Why do I have to wait in those dirty plastic chairs for that rigid waiting room? This guy has some serious mistakes.

The host who received us was a Taiwanese. Although it seems that a pair of people are not close to each other and speak hard, it is definitely a reliable and honest person. When I heard that my window glass could not rise, I would say that I can repair it directly, and the cheapest one should be 150. Here the boss said 45$ to help open the door check, what needs to be replaced and then count the money (please be sure that the boss said this, he is very rigorous attitude), then call to tell us that there is no problem, the motor is also good just a little Aging, only received us 30$, all problems will be solved. If I am not too nervous, I must give him more tips. I can only help the boss by name. I hope that his business is booming. I will definitely go to this store and recommend it to other friends. Right, absolutely honest business, repair the car here to two words - rest assured!

First of all, I may be about to arrive at their off-duty time. The workers’ attitude is very poor. Everyone works part-time. Everyone can leave work on time. Now that you have agreed to change the oil with me at that time, do it well. 1. Bad attitude! 2. Didnt tell me what kind of oil to change! 3. After changing the oil, the meter is not adjusted properly. It is still the number of kilometers after changing the oil before. There is no notice when the oil is to be added next time!

Serious and responsible for good speed.
