Had never used this place but the regular shop raised prices for a biennial smog test, so I gave them a try.I was having my check engine light (MIL) come on with an emissions related code. It had been a while since I reset it when I brought it in. Hadn’t been long enough so it failed smog with reported code the same as I had seen. He didn’t charge me full price I guess since there wasn’t a “certificate “.He told me what to do and a week later the code had cleared and I was charged a minimal retest fee.Great service, took me early on the retest and gave great advice.Highly recommend

Great place. Honest work and they really do take care of you here. Highly recommended

When my car failed I was anxious about avoiding the problem Ivan describes below - a back and forth between repair shop and smog station. But, Chinito to the rescue.He diagnosed the problem, even showed me the broken part, then went on to make the repair so the car passed. These guys really are emissions experts. Absolutely my highest recommendation. Thank you HMB Smog.

They are experts in emissions systems repairs. I drove back and forth between garages and the testing station trying to pass the smog test. Chinito (the owner of HMB Smog) was able to find the problem and fix it for me.Thank you so much Chinito.

I was very happy with my experience with HMB Smog & Repair. The customer service is exceptional, and it was clear that they pride themselves on being honest and reputable. It was easily the best experience with an auto repair shop I have ever had, and I wholeheartedly recommend HMB Smog & Repair for anyone in need of a great mechanic. Thank you!

Quick and easy smog and reasonable prices.

A great find! I needed to get my car smog checked before Jan 2nd. They were able to get it checked today and also fix my brake lights. Woohoo... Happy to support a local business. Will be using them for future car repairs instead of going over the hill. Thank you!!!!

Quick, friendly, professional, and convenient.

Great service. Super convenient nighttime drop off. Snogged and tune up by noon the next day. Able to pick up my vehicle on my lunch break. Highly recommend.

I had HMB smog change my front brake pads and do an oil change today. They were able to get me in with a 2 day notice at the time I needed. Rongchi is the new owner and he has worked on the coast for a while and decided to open his own business. He is trustworthy and affordable. I got a quote for double at other places. Im really happy to have HMB smog to go to for my auto servicing needs. Thank you so much.

Professional, courteous, honest, and excellent service value. As a good consumer, its my job to find value services - this means service in return for the dollars I paid. I dont look for the lowest price as there are crooks with bait and switch. I do promote good services in the hope that this will encourage the owner to continue and grow. I brought my car here for service. I have the highest recommendation for this business. Hope Chinito will continue to do well. I dont know Chinito outside of the context of servicing my car. And I was not given any incentive to write this. (In fact, I acknowledged Chinito with a big gratuity for his good work.)
