Alpine Smog and Auto Repair - Lakeside (CA)

adam These guys are great! I was able to get my vehicle towed in this morning. They had the part at the shop. Chris was prompt, very knowledgeable , and personable. Good folks, I definitely recommend them!

Bami Coach I can’t say enough good things about PB FOREIGN! This is the only place I trust with my car, and their expertise is unmatched. The team is honest, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to provide top-notch service. Whether it’s a simple maintenance check or a complex repair, they always do an outstanding job. It’s rare to find an auto repair shop that combines skill, transparency, and excellent customer service, but PB FOREIGN delivers on all fronts. If you’re looking for a trustworthy place to take your car, look no further—this is it!

Mike Mikho DANNY AND MARK DO AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB, ARE COURTEOUS, ARE PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY. IVE BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLES TO THE SHOP FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW. WE LOVE WHAT THEY DO WITH OUR VEHICLES.

Darth Vader I found Bonds online and I noticed the great reviews. When I arrived I was greeted by the service technician and he directed me to where the front entrance was. Everyone there was very polite. The service area and the the waiting area was very clean and organized. First impression means a lot. I had the pleasure of meeting Tim the service manager. Straight forward with all the information and great customer service. Bonds did an awesome job installing springs on my car. Great communication through the whole process. Bonds will be my place to go from this day forward.!!!!

Cameron Johnson From the moment Louie laid eyes on my classic Mustang, I knew I was in capable hands. His expertise shone through as he meticulously explained the intricacies of the issue, leaving no stone unturned. It’s not every day you find a mechanic who not only identifies the problem immediately but also ensures your car runs better than ever. As someone who usually handles repairs personally, admitting my car needed professional help wasn’t easy. However, a new carburetor issue was a challenge I was ready to entrust to a professional, and Louie didn’t just meet my expectations—he exceeded them. The level of detail and care Louie invested in my Mustang was nothing short of remarkable. It’s evident that Tech1Mobile Auto Repair doesn’t just fix cars; they breathe new life into them. My Mustang has never performed so well. I wholeheartedly recommend Tech1Mobile Auto Repair to anyone in need of top-notch auto services. If you want a mechanic who is transparent, skilled, and incredibly efficient, look no further than Louie. I will undoubtedly be a repeat customer, singing their praises to anyone who’ll listen. Tech1Mobile Auto Repair is, without a doubt, the gold standard for auto repair services.

Brandon Egan I was very impressed with J and L Automotive Repair and highly recommended them! They were very professional and knowledgeable about how to fix my car. They explained the problem to me and were very transparent about the problem and showed me exactly what was wrong. I had a couple problems with my car based on some rattling and the oil light coming on and off. I first took it to a different auto repair place and told them the problem. They couldn’t really explain things to me and gave me a very high price for the engine repair. I decided to take it to a J and L for a second opinion. They explained that it was a simple fix that they can fix quickly. Sure enough, they fixed it quickly and it has been running great ever since I took it to them. No problems at all. So I highly recommend them.

Brooke Corcos I found Antonios Auto Care on Yelp and Im so happy I did! I reached out to a number of auto shops to inquire about doing a pre-warranty expiration check on my nearly 10-year old car, and Fred was not only the quickest to respond and the most helpful, but he wasnt going to charge me anything for the inspection (unlike every other auto shop that got back to me). The shop is located next to a gas station. Pro tip: its walking distance from Coffee Bean and Starbucks so you can relax or work while you wait! I ended up getting a smog check and oil/filter change while I was there because I was so impressed with Freds level of service, and I was shocked how quickly he was able to get everything done! He even discovered an issue with my car that the Hyundai dealership didnt catch when I had them do the same pre-warranty expiration inspection 6 months prior. He let me take a video of the issue while he explained it in a way I could understand, which was beyond helpful. I will definitely be back for future oil changes & repairs!

Kevin Schmelzlen My brake lights weren’t working and this Napa store went above and beyond to help me out. Special thanks to Isaiah for all the time and effort he took to make sure I was able to leave with working brake lights

River So I am long term client/customer of this shop. The owner Mes, is a genuine trustworthy mechanic. Every time I try to get a service somewhere else I end up going right back to Mes because he is affordable, trustworthy,reasonable with the turnaround time, and also very importantly he is personable. I can’t tell you how many times I have left the establishment simply based off of the energy they gave me when interacting. I recently had my car oil cooler fixed by him. The turnaround time was simply three hours. I have been avoiding getting this done for two weeks. I highly recommend this shop.

Mary Donato Johns gives me piece of mind. It’s always stressful when your car isn’t working right and you need to take it to a shop. Johns is reliable, honest and they are so patient and good about explaining things. Justin is amazing. He’s very honest about telling me what needs immediate attention and what can wait a couple of months. Very knowledgeable. Thank Goodness I found Johns!
