I called for an uber/lyft inspection $99 dollars is crazy. He wanted to know my car year and model to charge me more when I told him my car details.

I came to *Auto Best Smog Check* to get a smog test done, and unfortunately, my car didn’t pass. But Sayed was incredibly helpful — he didn’t just send me on my way. He took the time to explain the *BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair) vehicle retirement program*, something I wasn’t even fully aware of. He walked me through the whole process and guided me step-by-step on how to apply and get compensated. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely wants to help people. Highly recommend this shop and especially Sayed if you want honest service and expert guidance!

Shop owner-proprietor Sayed is a gentleman as well as a professional. His candor matches his expertise, and through the stressful experience of Salvage Titling my vehicle, he was up front about complications, repairs and (California’s frustrating) regulations. This process is not easy or inexpensive, no matter what the accident inspector says, so you need an inspection/repairs shop that does honest work. Auto Best is such a place. Recommended.

I'm writing a review to warn people about this guy! I don't write negative reviews, but this guy is a bit shady and a little bit of a con artist!
He quoted $150 for a brake and light inspection and when asked if he does free reinspection, he doesn't give you a straight forward answer and makes you believe he doesn't have issues with passing vehicles. I was not able to use my $20 online coupon because he said he's already giving me a discount from $299. When my car did not pass, he told me he would reinspect for $100 more. I'm reading other reviews about this guy and he's been shady to other customers about pricing and his work. Please don't go here! It's better to pay a little more and get a free reinspection and straight answers!
