Advanced Emission Specialist

Great customer service from Josh! Had many issues with my car and they fixed everything without trying to upsell anything that I did not need. Car runs fantastic and everything works great and no smell of burning oil or coolant. Next time I have automotive issues I will definitely be back.

Went in for an oil change and some regular maintenance. Rafael serviced my car. After I left, within 5 miles of driving it, it COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN. I have NEVER had any problems with the car before bringing it into this place. Long story short, Rafael completely messed up my car. Don’t take your vehicle here!

What nice people. Good cool waiting room. Price is right. Service very prompt for drive in. Helpful and knowledgeable about a lot of things about vehicles.

Terrible customer service!
This company runs like time is not of the essence.
I returned for a copy of my smog, waiting for them like I had all day, to finally find out that they couldn’t give me a copy because it’s been so long.
Never again I do!

Got a smog test on my truck today. In and out quickly. Very nice professional staff. Wonderful to have a local business that cares about their customers.

My husband’s car wasn’t doing so well, it was kind of stalling a bit and there was a clicking sound it makes when we do sharp u-​turns, so we knew we needed to get it checked out. Many auto shops are closed by the time my husband gets out of work so he asked me to drop it off at this place. I called ahead to see if it was possible to get a ride back to my house once I dropped off my car and they said they can do that.
I showed up with my two kids and they drove me back to my house in my car then drove back to the shop. I gave them my husband’s contact to talk to him since he had an better idea of what was wrong with the car. The car was fixed in about 4 hours but their machine was having issues with taking credit cards, so they had to leave the car there overnight.
The next day, they were able to take my husband’s credit card and offered to drop our car off at our house and locked it with the key in it (we have an extra key).
Service was wonderful, they didn’t pressure us to buy or fix anything we didn’t want to fix, they were very honest about how much it was going to be, options for us as far as what needs to get fixed immediately, etc.
If we had more mechanics like this around, we wouldn’t be stressing so much to take our cars to the shop.

I needed my oil changed before a big trip and most places were closed on a SATURDAY!!! Why would they do that? Well, AES was open and they got me right in and I was on my way in no time! The owner, Rafael, is friendly and helpful. They checked my air filter for me and said it was fine… they didn’t try to upsell me on anything. I got what I needed at a very reasonable price!

If I could rate this place less than one star, I would.
All around horrible experience. Terrible customer service.
The receptionist was on the phone when i walked in and didn’t even look in my direction for a good 5 minutes, should have left then. I was told there was no one in front of me and it would take 20 minutes for a SMOG test. 40 minutes later, I could still see my car parked in the parking lot… they hadn’t even taken it to the garage yet.
They said they were just finishing up a smog and mine would be next, but when they handed me my keys back they weren’t even my keys. So they were smogging 2 cars before mine, I had now been there almost an hour when i was told it would only take 20 minutes.
I left WITHOUT having my car smogged and having wasted an hour. So mad. This place is terrible, do not give them your service!
