I had an appointment for a state inspection to renew my sticker and after speaking to the front desk for check in, not even maybe 20-30 minutes later (despite the office being busy), every thing was done & ready to go ! It happened so fast & was so efficient! They also still offer to do a safety check despite not…
Great experience. People you can speak with and they did what they said. Terry was great and help me all the way through. Thanks Terry.

I’ve used Tech One Automotive multiple times now, and every experience has been great. The whole team there is wonderful, but Billy has helped me several times, and he’s always been super kind, helpful, professional, and honest. He actually listens to your concerns, explains things clearly, and I’ve always felt…
Carissa is so knowledgeable and answers all the questions I have about my vehicle. I know that I can call her no matter what if I’m having any issues or questions, and she has the answers.
Came in for an emissions test and it was super easy. Got done in about 15 minutes and Terry was super helpful and made it easy
I have been referred to Tech One by several folks, and can confirm that they do good work. I had an annoying vibration up front, so took it in for a look. While the issues (multiple) were not what I expected, Maggie was very professional and clearly communicated everything that they found, what order of priority…
I was able to get my state emissions test done in 15 minutes. Shout out to Terry and Anthony for friendly customer service and a fast experience! I will definitely be back and tell my friends about Tech One.
UPDATE - March 20, 2026 I am updating my rating to 3 stars. The Manager, Austin, personally stepped in to address my concerns. They have now resolved the initial mistakes, and I feel significantly safer driving the vehicle now that the repair is complete. I plan to update again in a few weeks once I’ve confirmed the…
Always fabulous. I trust few humans. These guys I trust. They have proved this each time I bring in my car for service. Honest mechanics are hard to find and Tech One has won this title for me.
Great place, honest, friendly staff. Billy was super helpful and very generous! Highly recommend!
First time getting my emissions test/state inspection at this location and it couldn’t have gone better! Called and spoke to Daniel, who informed me I could schedule a time to come in, or if I wanted to drop off my car, they could have it done in a couple hours. I chose to drop it off and run some errands. When I…
Quick, easy to schedule, fair pricing, and quality work. I've always been a backyard mechanic but I moved and can't work on my car anymore so I'll be taking my car here from now on. I'm really impressed with their customer service, honest and eager to do what's right for a long term customer relationship
Tech One has always treated us right- we have been taking our cars here for the last 12 years. Longer than that for my partner. While it’s true that they can be a bit more expensive than other places, we have never had to return a car to be serviced for the same problem twice. They are thorough- they inform you of…
Fast, friendly, efficient, and reasonably priced. I had a great experience overall. I really appreciated the service advisor, Terry for breaking down the recommended services into layman terms for a non-car expert such as myself. I Would definitely recommend and plan to use them in the future.
Great people, great service, and great prices. Bonus points for having a clean and comfortable waiting room to relax or get some work done during shorter appointments.
These guys are great. They really took care of my wife and I this week with maintenance and and an emergency tire replacement. Not the cheapest, but if you want honest, customer centric, professional service, give them a ring.
Went to Tech-One on Burnett Rd for a smog check, called and got an appointment same day within an hour, of my call. That was refreshing because 3 places I called prior, did not have a technician to perform the smog check, and the next appointment was till Monday next week, not good!! Arrived, Billy took care of…
Great group of folks, fair and reasonably priced Trent Pappin is always there and ready to help with great customer service. I'll always go back!
They have been our mechanics for years. No complaints and would recommend them to anyone looking for great service and reasonable, upfront quotes.
