Dany was super kind, helpful and was super 'speedy'! I found this place on accident due to my old place being closed. I forgot my paperwork and it was no problem. Dany said it would take 20 minutes. I checked in on yelp, received a $10 off coupon and was out the door in 20 minutes. Painless! If you pay in cash, there is a discount- it adds up to about tax. I'll go back there next year and I'll refer friends.

2.5 stars. As far as their smog service goes, they're pretty by the book. I ended up not smogging my car here because I have an aftermarket intake on my car. Unless I changed it back to my stock air box, he said that he'd fail me based on visual inspeaction alone. Besides that, these guys offer a lot of coupons and try to give good customer service so that equals 2.5 stars in my book. I won't be returning for my next smog and I do my own maintenance when I can, otherwise it's off to the dealer for my ride.

I have taken, let me count, three or four of our cars here. At first, I thought my wife was nuts. She heard about it. It does not look like a very high tech place from the outside. But then I walked in and saw a photo of the head mechanic, Raad, running a crankshaft lathe back in his home country, where, I found out later, he was originally trained by German engineers. That sat well with me. The photo. Seemed like they care about engines and they do. This guy Raad cares about your car and your safety while driving it. He does excellent diagnosis and can find what is wrong. Has never failed me. And they show you the parts. I have met people there who bring their Mercedes and BMWs to him. Only place they will go. He is honest and does not cheat you. In the end, a good mechanic has two qualities: 1. He can figure out what is wrong with your car and fix it. 2. He is honest. Both of these qualities are present at Speedy. to be honest, I hope too many don't find out. But on the other hand, I only have a few cars and they can handle many more. I have tried to send at least 5 people here. Do not listen to these posts implying dishonesty. That is usually based on misunderstanding. This is one of the most honest and skilled mechanics I have dealt with.

I was extremely impressed with the service and professionalism here, very friendly family owned shop. I had my car smogged and new tires put on at a great price, and it was easy to come in and get it done, no lengthy time waiting. I'm a mechanic as well and these guys are legit and honest, they actually show you what's wrong if you have a problem and explain it. Will be my place to go while in San Diego, highly recommend.

Paid a little more than coupon price since my car had a turbo, but still a quick transaction at a reasonable price, I'll be back!

I recently had to smog 2 vehicles, so since Speedy's is a little more competitive than the rest of the local shops, it made sense to go here. Check their website to see if they are running a discount, it saved me a good amount. The service was excellent, five stars. The staff are friendly and competent. Price quoted on my initial phone call was what I paid, there was no "upselling" or bs. Friendly, honest, competitively priced, reasonably fast service? Why can't more businesses be like this. Go here, you won't regret it.

Took my car in today. 08 Honda Accord. I arrived at about 12:05. The guy in the office, I assume the owner, was very friendly. I asked for the "out the door" price for a smog. He asked what kind of car before answering, which shows he isn't a bait and switch type of shop owner. He quotes me $45 OTD. I agree, he says it will be about 20-30 minutes. Since I was at lunch, I walked across the street to grab a bite. When I returned about 20 mins later, my car was done, waiting for me. I paid $45 just as I was quoted. Not $45 plus smog. Not $45 plus tax, not $45 plus gas cap. People need to remember, If the state program says you need a new gas cap, it's not the shops fault, it falls on the great voters of California who consistently vote for stupid new laws making it more restrictive and costly to maintain anything. This shop was A+, thank you for the service.

I took my car for a noise that was coming from the belt. The mechanics were able to identify the problem extremely quickly and got it fixed. The only problem is that the belt they replaced on my Mazda3 is worth $39.99 and I was charged $219!!!!! plus installation. I know they need to marked-up the parts but from $40.00 to $219!!!! I felt ripped off when I searched on line for the item number and discovered the price. :-( Next time I will just do the search on the spot and try to negotiate a better deal...Although, it will be an another shop, because I am not going back to Speedy Auto Repair.

Great family business that does quality work! Average prices, but great people. Recently got a smog and tire alignment. They noticed a belt that was squealing and fixed it on the house. Been going here for more than 3 years and plan to keep coming.

What a pleasant experience! I needed to get my car smoged. On Wednesday I was in Miramar having lunch with a friend and I dropped off my car at a Star smog station. What a bad experience. (I will write a separate 1 star review on their site.) I went to Speedy Auto Repair because they are a NAPA Auto Care Center - which does make a big difference. Car passed smog in 30 minutes and the owne Raad and his Son Dany could not have been more professional. I have just found my new station for all my upkeep and repair on my two vehicles. I highly recommend. Proceed with confidence!
