do not bring your car here please . just a month ago the only problem of my car is the oil leak in the oil pan underneath and then they suggest to fix the timing belt also, i payed 2,500$ for the job , after they fixed it use the car only for two weeks ,after two weeks of using it my engine was shaking so i decided to bring it back because of the warranty but they said its a diffrent issue and then they want me to charge me again for 2,900$ because they said my head gasket blown up, my engine not even had a overheat. the only thing for the next diagnostic they didnt charge me. my advice to the owner please watch carefully how your mechanics fix the job , my car is only 148,000 miles even its a 1995 its my weekend car never abused it hopefully that mechanic who fix my car wont ruin your companys reputation , the lady at the front desk made a great job explaining to me shes nice , go somewhere else .

Took my wife's Kia to SDS for a quick smog, and it was a short but pleasant experience! Great, friendly staff and they wrapped the smog check up quickly. I've seen this place get really busy, so timing your visit for their less busy hours to do something quick like a smog is a good idea. Will definitely be returning for future service/maintenance needs!

We needed a used car to have a pre buyers inspection. SDS not only performed the inspection in a timely manner, but they found several areas of concern on the used car. SDS pre buyers inspection saved us from making a $2,000.00 mistake!

Dropped vehicle off for brake fluid and an oil change. When I arrived at the shop, there was brake fluid leaking onto my tires. At this point I needed a diagnostic for the bigger issue. I called the shop even though I thought it was common sense NOT to do the oil change until the problem was diagnosed and we made a decision to go forward. The shop stated that they wouldn’t do the oil change until we confirmed. When the total repairs equaled more than what the car was worth, we decided to sell the car and not move forward with any repairs. The shop informed me that they already did the oil change so I will have to pay for that along with the diagnostic charge. So I paid $130 for an oil change on a vehicle that was leaking oil… and then they have the nerve to ask me for a review. Next time try to be an honest company

Amazing Automotive professionals. After my vehicle was stolen SDS preformed an overall check on my vehicle. I feel confident that my truck is safe and that the services they suggest will be handle so that I will continue to be safe on the road in the future. No disappointment here. Mrs. Rene' Hopkins

Juan and Terra were great to work with! They were extremely knowledgeable and got me the answers I needed on my 2002 F150 without trying to hard sell me on things I didn’t. That goes along way with me. I will definitely recommend their team🙏🙏

A little misunderstanding about the time it would take, but after the diagnostic they had my Camry finished ahead of schedule. Would definitely go back.

My visit/s were to smog my 2001 vehicle. Took 3 visits due to emission computer. Each visit staff was professional and communicated how to get my certificate. I have been a client here for over 15 years and they do excellent work.

SDS Automotive was amazing. I was able to tell them the issue I had with my vehicle and they were able to do an acceptional job/work on it. They actually fixed it not like other places. I usually leave after picking the vehicle with more questions then when I took it in. The best part about this place was they took it in as an emergency, they understood my situation and made sure I got it back the same day. I am very appreciative of the entire staff, they did an awesome job. Thank you to all of you.
