"We had our A/C system inspected and recharged. Within 2 months I will have to spend more money to have it redone as the car is already blowing warm air. "

"This was a very nice, low key shop with good and quick service and an honest price."
2010 Jaguar XK
"The young man that did the service was very nice and explained what he found and what they did to resolve it. 60K checkup. Did the job well from what I can tell. Shop was too crowded and disorganized which did not give me confidence that is why I gave them a 4 not a 5"

"I got the quote to diagnose my car and he gave me quote of $65. Then when i got there he said he need another 5 hrs to diagnose and may take more hrs because he said he is not GOD. Seriously , why even provide quote if u can't find the issue. Not going there anymore. "

2001 BMW 3 Series
"Great and honest service. OpenBay provided me with 3 offers, $30 in San Francisco, $20 from Luxurati, and $0 for another in San Francisco. The $0 one seemed too good to be true, so I decided to give Luxurati a try. Needed my rear turn signal bulb replaced. I know it's not a difficult job, but I want to be safe than sorry, especially with finicky European cars. While they officially close at 6pm, the owner was understanding when I got there after. He came out, confirmed the issue, and within minutes was able to replace the bulb. We checked it on the spot and verified it was working. He also was very educational in explaining the finer details of how the bulbs actually were specific to each section (I'm glad I didn't experiment myself), and also even helped check out another unrelated issue my car had been having, without any sales pressure attachment at all, just pure helpful. Gave me some additional tips in regards to maintaining my car. Absolutely fantastic experience. Will also have to check out his wife's restaurant, Russian and Filipino fusion cuisine, sounds very interesting."

2008 Mazda 3
"ill definitely be returning here in the future. it didn't take long to realize that i'd be dealing with honest people. sometimes I'm wary about getting work done from somewhere offering the lowest price but i'll be bringing my mazda 3 here for any other work i need done. not only did they hook me up with a free tire rotation simply because i mentioned off-handedly that i'd be needing one soon. when i talked about an oil change i'd had done at another shop that left me feeling less than satisfied, they showed me the Japanese synthetic oil that he uses for my car and explained that even their basic oil change is synthetic blend. they didn't try to upsell me on anything and even offered to replace my belts for an excellent price next time i come in, since I should have had that done a couple thousand miles back. highly recommended. "

"thanks"

- Ilya Rosenthal

"I had my car got vandalized and my insurance recommended this place. The owner is considerate and spend all his time to go through all the details regarding the repair. Thanks for taking good care of my car."
"Brought my sports car in for an oil change and inspection. Price was very good, and service was great. Staff was and knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely be coming back here."
"Exceptional service and an all around great group of people to work with. I’d recommend them to anybody who cares about the quality of work they’re getting. Special thanks to Ilya! Very customer oriented and professional. My Mercedes looks like new now."
"I am not sure what the last reviewer is seeing, but I came in with my 2011 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. They are a very busy shop and there were 2 cars ahead of mine (first come, first served-no appointments). They started my smog within 30 minutes and I was done 16 MINUTES LATER!! I even had engine covers that are very time consuming to remove to do the test ( I also was informed before the test they were $50 additional to remove). They were very friendly, professional and clean, the process was very easy and I will not hesitate to use them again. Very highly recommended!!"
"I had a smog check here. The service by itself is good. I deducted one point for the fees, $1.75 for credit card surcharge, $10 for engine cover (I was informed). One point for the wait, no appointment so you only know about the wait time when you get there. And one point for squeeze his friend in front of me."
