Rubidoux & Muffler 3708 Rubidoux Boulevard, Riverside, CA 92509

"I dropped by to get a Smog Check. The gentleman was courteous. The shop opens at 800 AM but the smog guys don't arrive until 930 AM. I wanted to post to share this, just in case you're planning on an early start."

"Needed a smog check to get my daughter's car registered...it failed! Code P0420....catalytic converter (moan!!) Took it to Dave at Rubidoux Smog & Muffler and was immediately made to feel like a valued customer. Took the time to explain various options and why some would be poor choices costing me more money in the long run. He tried to remedy the issue without replacing the converters (who knew some cars have more than one?) in an attempt to save me money but it didn't work. Final solution was to replace the converters. Knowing I had a time constraint, Dave ordered the parts and had them rush delivered. He and his assistant immediately got to work and finished with me having time to spare. Price? About a third of what the dealership would have charged! Dave and everyone there, including Oscar, the smog guy, were very personable and obviously put customer service above the profit margin! Would recommend highly!"

"A engine light appeared...initially my son-in-law read the error and erased it. About 3 weeks later it reappeared the day before I took it to the dealer for an oil change. I was told to go to Autozone to check it. Twice then it read I had a bad catalytic converter. The cost of one is prohibitive!!!! I asked the manager/staff where to go...they recommended "Dave" and gave me his phone number. I actually feel blessed that they "introduced" me to him! He seemed honest and didn't pressure me into having ANY work done. He reassured me that my car wouldn't blow up! Also that it would last another 100,000 miles!-I don't want a new car payment and I love my car! He cleaned out the engine. His readings said that 4 of my 6 cylinders were misfiring...said it needed a tune-up...probably hadn't been done for tens of thousands miles. We did that. He was kind, knowledgeable and skilled."

"Dave is awesome and very honest. Will give you the total price of the repair and labor. We took my daughter's Car there and she was very impressed that he kept her informed about what needed to be done."

"I called the shop looking for a new muffler and Dave told me it would be between 75-100$ for one, which I felt was very reasonable. I then came in and in a quick manner they had my car in the garage even though they were very busy. Dave then proceeded to tell me he didn't have a brand new muffler but he had a very good condition muffler that was used and it would be half the price. I was glad to take it and now my car sounds amazing and I saved 50 bucks. I would defiantly recommend this shop to anyone."
