"Fixed my alternator for a fair price. I will be returning."

"I recently took my trusty old Lexus IS250 to Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test for some much-needed brake pad replacements on all four wheels. I have to say, I am absolutely blown away by the exceptional service I received from the team at Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable about all things related to my car's brake system. What really impressed me about Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test was their honesty and transparency when it came to assessing the condition of my car's brake pads. Rather than simply recommending that I replace all four pads, they took the time to thoroughly inspect my vehicle and determined that only the rear pads needed to be replaced. This saved me a significant amount of money and demonstrated that the team at Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test truly cares about their customers' best interests. The brake pad replacement itself was done quickly and efficiently, and I was back on the road in no time. However, a few days later, I noticed a strange noise coming from the rear brakes. Concerned, I brought my car back to Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test, and they promptly took care of the issue under warranty with no hassle whatsoever. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is truly second to none, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their dedication to providing high-quality service. Overall, I have to say that my experience with Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test was absolutely fantastic. From the initial assessment of my vehicle to the brake pad replacement and subsequent follow-up service, every aspect of my experience was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. I can confidently say that I will be taking my car to Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test for all future maintenance and repair needs, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-notch auto repair work. Thank you, Viking Auto Repair & Smog Test, for providing such outstanding service!"

"Called ahead to ask wait time for a smog check. Said no wait. I get there and says it’s gonna take 30 minutes, which is a little long from my experience elsewhere. Finishes tests, says there’s no CARB number for my cold air intake so they failed it. Showed them the CARB number, had to rerun the test, and their computer system went down. Finished 25 minutes later. Gave me a $20 discount for the trouble, so 3 stars."

"Came in for a tune up. My personal experience was great. Found this shop to be mid-priced for quality service. Called ahead and quote over the phone was honored. When I got there it was a 2 hour wait. That would set me back with my schedule, even though he didn’t have to, he rushed my car in right away to accommodate. Found all the staff to be professional as well."

"I'm not the kind of person that writes a bad review, even if the service was mediocre. But I used to bring my car here for oil change, until they recently change ownership. I asked for my brakes to be checked and changed if needed, I was charged over $400 for all brakes . 2 weeks later the check engine light turned on and they charged me $70 just to tell me to buy a new cap for the gas tank. My brakes started to make noise, so I took them to my neighbors mechanic who I trust but shop is too far for me, but I tried with him cus I didn't trust this place anymore, my neighbor tells me that only front brakes where changed, and for a bad quality ones ,and back ones ate still old. Never going back , and I'm writing this review in hope the new owner reads it and gets encouraged to make a more honest job. I don't recommend."
