Came here for a smog check. Service was quick and professional, I was in and out in less than half an hour.
Fast, friendly and easy
Best service!
Super efficient, friendly service, and my car passed smog 😀
Great service, great work. In and out under 30 mins for a smog test.
I needed an emissions test and Phong and the team did it within 30 min, checked my oil and noticed it was low and needed to be topped off, and checked the PSI on my tires. Super helpful and close to my house in University Heights. Would come back for servicing in the future! Super friendly, honest and informative…

Hands down the best auto shop I’ve ever been to. I’ve gone to TP for emissions testing, oil changes, brakes and rotor replacements, everything. They work incredibly fast and always try to take care of the customer. Always a pleasant interaction, good work, and a fair price. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

The very best Auto repair in southwest USA. Located in San Diego, I drive from AZ for all my Lexus needs. Honest and excellent service. I love this place. Stephen Merrick
Phong was very professional. He explained everything very clearly and completed the smog test sooner than expected. I highly recommend trying this place for any type of auto work.
This is a great shop. Nice and friendly service. And quick repairs.
Phong was great. Friendly, professional and great service. Recommended and will be back with my vehicle needs
There's a ton of mechanics in the neighborhood but none of them are as busy as these guys - for a good reason. They are extremely fast and friendly. I've had some light repairs and smog testing done at this place and will likely go back for any future repairs. My car is turning into junk so they'll be seeing me a lot!
Quick in and out smog service (less than 30 min)...thanks!
