Editing my review a year later: still going to them and am always impressed by their customer service and communication. Will take my car to them as long as I’m living in the area - could not recommend them enough. They stand behind their work and clearly care about their customers.
I have taken my car to Royal Smog & Mechanic twice now, first for the smog test, and now again for repairs.

Great prices on smogs if you ask for price match or discounts. Also “brake and lamp” and passed with minor issues but being a newer car it’s wasn’t that difficult. Just do your research, even the staff there tells you how in depth the inspections are. It’s a BAR/California requirement, and I did not expect the inspector to lose his license bending/breaking rules for me let alone every customer that expects special treatment. Thank you Sam also working with me on budget and always sourcing more affordable parts. 😊
