Long’s Auto Tech

I came into Long’s Auto Tech with a Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) after having failed at another smog test location. After quoting me a day of work before diagnostics, I was given a call a few hours later informing me that my car had passed smog with no additional work needing to be done. They gladly refunded me the $ 120 that it cost to diagnose the problem (since it past the initial smog test check). The service was fast, friendly and efficient.
Thank you again guys! And I will be coming back for any additional automative repairs & oil change.

First off, this shop is kind of hidden like behind a freeway so I never knew about this shop until I noticed a sign that leads you to the shop through an unknown road. but I Googled the sign to see what it is and little did I know how good of a shop this is! I saw that it’s rates and reviews were very good so I thought I should go check it out to see what it’s all about. Went there today to get a simple oil change, took about an hour or so it wasn’t so bad. The place is pretty clean for an auto shop, they got a nice waiting room for their customers with a TV and everything so it feels welcoming. The staff are very nice and helpful, they figured out my exhaust problem before I even told them lol but I was glad that they keep an eye out for other things too. But overall, this place is nice and I’d recommend it to anyone, their work is good and seems like they put a lot of effort into what they do

This shop has one of the cheapest smog checks around, even a better price those those places with Unilocal deals. I came on a weekend and did not have to make an appointment or wait. Mr. Tran is very thorough and not only performed a smog check but also checked the tire air pressure. We chatted a bit about vehicle maintenance so I was able to pick his brain on a few topics. The waiting area is very simple but clean. There are a few pictures of Mr. Tran’s son back when he was serving in the military. Stuff like that makes me proud to patronize local businesses. Great service, and very friendly.
The only down side is the location. The shop is basically right next to 101, kind of out of the way, but it’s worth the trip.

RV Folks.…This is the place for smog, engine and suspension work
Had many quotes on my RV for suspension work, every place had a different story. Nothing jived, When I pushed for explanation I was given generic responses. This repair/​upgrade was expensive.…very expensive and I wanted it done right.
I have used long for smog on the RV so figured as a last resort I would give him a shot.
He not only contradicted the other shops but physically showed me the issues and explained the fixes and upgrades. He showed me the difference in what was installed and what he was replacing things with. Basically Dollar store parts inside replaced with NASA aircraft bearings. Awesome stuff.
Considering I drive my family and friends down Hwy 1 in crazy wind, good suspension in a must.
Trust this guy and he will make it right.
Highly reccomended

I went in with a CAP letter for a STAR Test-​and-​Repair. Long took me in right away, even on a Saturday. He charged me for the necessary smog and required diagnosis, and said he would accept the CAP. Within hours the car was ready. I had passed the smog, so he promptly refunded the diagnosis. It’s was great to find such honesty. He didn’t keep what I paid, take the CAP, and then charge me over the CAP. I’ve definitely found my new mechanic. Excellent customer service, speedy service, and honest service. Thank you Long!

A long time ago, I used Mr. Tran’s Smog Check service when Long’s Auto Tech was at the 1778 Smith Ave. location. It was excellent! If I live in San Jose, I would utilize their service more often for sure. At that time, I was near San Jose, needed a smog check, Mr. Tran found that my lights were nearly out, replaced them free of labor for my safety, the smog check was done right too. I had to make a last minute appointment, he didn’t get frustrated at all for my bad logistics handling, he actually was all smiles and made it an easy experience for me. Really appreciated.
