Avoid this place. We went here for inspection and they failed it saying that the tire is too old. Turns out they just want people to replace tire at their own shop. They have been playing the same trick over years! Unethical, and a waste of money and time.

Went in for an inspection and discovered that my two parking light bulbs in my bumper needed to be replaced. They looked at all the lights before they did all the other checks. Then they entered the info in the computer instead of just telling me a couple bulbs were out. Then they quoted me $18 each to fix and pass inspection! When I told them I happened to have extras in my glove box they said they would charge me $10. I went to install them myself and put one in within 20 seconds. When I went to put the second one in they yelled and pulled my car out saying there were other people waiting. I put the second bulb in and had to wait for them to resume the inspection. They charged me $10 for me replacing my own bulbs. Super sleazy.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! Really bad service and bad attitudes! Only filled air for three tires of my car, skip one becoz he said he couldn’t open the cap🤷‍♀️ What kind of a repair shop is it?! And he charged me for $5! I asked a receipt for showing what he did,he gave me a blank paper with date on it at first🙄 ,then he gave me this RECEIPT which I asked again. It proved that he didn’t check ANYTHING but fill the air. Compared to other people it’s not a lot of money, but it’s completely rip off. Dissatisfied with his service at all!黑店 不管大修小修 甚至小檢查 都不要去. 坑錢.

Stay away from this if you want to get an inspection. There was no wait and the guy told me about 1 and half hours(thats long considering i been in and out at other places). After waiting around there he tells me the only problem is that the license plate light bulb is out(are you fu**ing kidding me???). In order to complete the inspection I will have to either get it fixed for $25 labor and part there pay extra $10 for a re-inspection fee totaling $37+$25+$10=$72 for a perfectly running car or get it changed myself then bring it back and pay an additional $10 for re-inspection. They manually failed the inspection for a LICENSE PLATE LIGHT BULB in broad day light before asking if i had one to replace it forcing me to have to change it and pay extra. The guy was NOT trying to help me at all and was giving me an attitude in return for this. Meanwhile i had the replacement bulbs in my glove compartment only if he would have told me when i was standing there before he decides to punch it in to the computer to FAIL IT. HORRIBLE SERVICE and will find some reason to fail your inspection. NOT OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST. will NICKLE AND DIME YOU. The stupid mechanic was mocking me as well. NEVER in my life has this happened to me all for an inspection. DONT COME HERE FOR ANYTHING.

Great customer service! My dad has a problem with his old Toyota that no one could fix, but Raymond, the owner, helped us to solve this PROBLEM!! He was patient, listened to our concern and answered all our questions! Feeling relieved about my old Toyota now :)

Came here multiple times for inspections and everything went smoothly. All the staff were approachable and met my every need. Cost was cheap and all in all a very pleasant experience! Not to mention its in the heart of downtown flushing and is close to everything this area has to offer.

Great location if you need to run errands or grab some grub in Flushing area as you get your oil changed and inspection done. They now offer Sunday hours if you have any emergency from flats, mufflers, heating, ac, issues.

Dont ever go to this auto body shop, went there to get my car inspection, these guy failed my car because of number plate lights and a break light on top, asking me $70 to change four bulbs and labour or get them fixed from somewhere else and then come back and they will pass my car for addition $10.. these guy are real blackmailers, they will take your car happily as there is no wait time but they will come up will all sort of excuses and they will not help you an anyway, either this way or that way.. BE AWARE OF THESE BLACKMAILERS ... go somewhere else but please dont go to them...

Similar experience. Won‘t pass your inspection without replacing a totally functioning part. Won’t come back again. My friend also confirmed his rip-off.
