Smog test service near Jamul, CA

Absolutely TERRIBLE. I started calling at 8:00 to inquire about bringing my truck in for a smog check. I called continuously and the phone was finally answered at 8:08. I was told that they don’t take appointments, so I took my truck in by 8:25, at which time I was told that there was a 1 hour wait time and that he would call me when it was done. I left the truck and went home rather than wait there. After 1 hour and 40 minutes with no phone call, I called for a status. He said that they were having trouble with the machine and that they were taking the truck in right now. He should have called to let me know this after 1 hour (Website claims #1 Great Customer Service and #2 Reliability are both FALSE). He finished the call with telling me that it would be finished in 45 minutes. I waited for 45 minutes, then went in to pick up the truck. After standing in the shop for nearly 10 minutes with mechanics walking past me and no one offering to help me (Website claim #1 Great Customer Service is again FALSE), I saw my truck parked behind the shop, so I went to take a look to see if it looked like anything had been done. I found the truck with the door open and the key in the ignition with the ignition beeping. The truck was just a couple of feet from the sidewalk and street. ANYONE walking by on the sidewalk definitely would have heard the beeping, and known that the key was in the ignition. If they had decided to steal the truck it would have been gone in 2 seconds with absolutely NO chance of the theft being stopped. This is INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE and leaved the El Cajon Smog owner liable to buying me a brand new truck. I took the key out and closed the door and went back around to the front of the shop. After standing there for several more minutes, someone finally offered to help me. I was told that the truck STILL had not been taken in. The guy added that they were going to take it in right now, even though all of the bays were full. Yet ANOTHER lie? (Website

What can I say? Unbelievable service from Dan (the owner)! He personally stepped in and made a horrible situation bearable. Our daughter wrecked her beautiful BMW (which we purchased from Dan). She took it to the BMW dealership and they wanted $$$$ to fix it. I called Dan and he immediately started working to help me out. He studied the estimate from BMW, researched the parts needed to fix her car (way past office hours), and gave me an estimate of what he thought the repairs would run. And it's not a surprise it was a fraction of the previous estimate! Dan set up the tow, ordered the parts and fixed my daughter's car in less than a week. It was short of miraculous! On top of the incredible service, Dan threw in a personal 'car class' to educate our daughter how to properly take care of a car. Dan, we are so thankful and full of gratitude for everything you have done for us. You went above and beyond to help us out of a terrible bind. I would recommend Rev It Motors to anyone looking to buy a car. Honest, helpful, professional and committed are a few words that come to mind when thinking about my experience at Rev It Motors. Thank you Dan. You run a top notch operation. Anne U.

I had them performed an engine swap in my Jaguar. The job was complicated because I had a Corvette 5.7L engine used to replace the 4.0L Jaguar engine. The job was completed in 2 days without any problem. Other shops that wanted the job asked for 7 days at least. I'm glad I found these guys - they are now mechanic for life. Good job!!! I will highly recommend you to everyone.

Five Stars all the way. Stellar Customer Service, Diagnosis and Repair. John was honest, fair, efficient and made the service experience simple and enjoyable. The Mechanic Josh, although humble and quiet was on top of his game in every aspect of the service and repair. Very impressed with the personalized vehicle service and customer experience.

You will not find a nicer person than Tony. This guy CARES and is extremely knowledgeable about vehicles. We just bought a 1984 Chevy RV and the guy we bought it from said the carburator didn't work correctly. We took it to him and he checked it out and easily could have charged us to "rebuild" it as we were convinced it was that and it could cost hundred of dollars to fix. He went through the whole engine and found that it was the vacuum hoses and he replaced them all, and the belts on the 1984 were rough. He said you can get away with driving it like that, and NO PRESSURE to make the decision, but we decided we didn't want to break down on the way to the desert! He worked hard and long on our RV and made sure EVERYTHING was looked at and he charged us what we thought was going to be hundred of dollars just $150 after 4 hours of work! We were there the whole time and he never stopped. If you want someone who is going to treat you right, call Tony! You wont be disappointed! He normally works on cars, but offered to help us out in a time of need. If you need a good mechanic that works on your cars the right way and treats you the "right" way, call Tony!

Gary and Sharon have done it again! I have been going to their original shop Aero Auto for almost two decades because of their extraordinary service. They recently bought this shop, which is a little closer to my house, so I took my car in here last time. They have done a lot of work to fix it up so it looks nice inside and out. It's so nice to have an auto repair shop that is clean and professional. Sadly, it is still somewhat difficult to find shops that treat women with respect. But that is definitely not the case here! They have created a friendly, comfortable environment for anyone needing their car repaired. And with the free coffee and WiFi, maybe I'll just hang out next time I need my car fixed!

We work with all European cars but we are specialized in Saab and Volvo. We also offer full performance upgrades for Volvo and Saab by BSR.

Clinton, will you marry me? LOL I don't think your wife would mind! Cant believe the time and extra effort you have put into my car since you have worked at Aero Auto Repair. It's as if you are psychic and think of the same things that I do that might help my car without me asking! You guys rock! Erika and Dave, you truly do treat your customers as friends or family. Better, in some instances! Always look forward to seeing you all, despite what the car might need! But, hey, it's a 94 and still happily on the road! Thanks again! Marcia N. San Diego, CA
