B & J Auto Repair Smog & Sales, Chula Vista CA

Excellent fast service and fair pricing. One of my 4 catalytic converters were tripping the check engine light. Diagnosed the issue, replaced one catalytic converter and issued the smog certificate. Highly recommend this shop. Brian and Jessie are great!

Went to Firestone and was quoted at $1240 for an over heating problem. BJ auto did the exact same thing for $741.

They are known in the southbay as a top mechanic shop. Trustworthy business and people

Also, smog is cheapest in town.

Change of ownership service was great but went to get a smog at 5: 15pm and was pushed away because they close at 5: 30pm so I had to go elsewhere

Great place to skip dmv line to get tags for new or old vechials. Fast service was in and out within 20-30 minutes on a Friday morning.

Incompetent smog tech. Failed my diesel truck due to a onboard air compressor that has absolutely nothing to do with the engine or emissions and doesn't realize that for my year truck you're allowed a couple sensors out (per carbs website). Then he charged me for a failure. Would never go back.

The best ever! Always friendly never had a doubt in my mind that these guys were not able to fix my car I highly recommend this place to anyone every one in the family goes here and never had an issue

I got a registration renewal for my car and I needed to take it to a STAR smog station to fulfill the renewal. So I looked on the all-powerful interweb and quickly found a qualified technician and smog facility at B & J Smog in Chula Vista, the B & J is for Broadway and J Street methinks, easy to remember anyway, and even faster to easily find at aforementioned location.
So I pulled into a rather small parking area for various car-related businesses besides B & J, found a spot to park and was quickly greeted by Victor Zermeno. I indicated that I needed to have a STAR smog check to complete my registration asap if possible so I could get on with my days chores, AND I had my wife, 2 grown kids, and 2 beautiful grandkids in the car with me at the time. So anyway, he says pull on up and pop the hood and he got right to work on smogging my car.so happy. It didn't take more than 10-15 minutes and I passed with no problems. I have a big Dodge Durango, which qualifies as a large vehicle (no problem there), paid a VERY fair price of $58 with all the bells and whistles included, and was out the door and on my way in only minutes.
One of my better business experiences I've had in a while, refreshing to say the least, and left with a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Give 'em a try if you live in the area, they are right next to the Goodwill store on Broadway.
Really!

Update: It is very unfortunate that I have to change this review, as I sincerely thought I had found the place to take care of all of my car needs/issues, but that was sadly not the case. After running into issues with the EVAP hose once again after only 2-3 months of repair, I came in understandingly to try and get the issue resolved and to have the clutch of my vehicle fixed. After having an unpleasant interaction with Jesse's staff and finally getting in touch with him to resolve the issue, I was told to leave my vehicle over the weekend to get it fixed. I agreed, waited for the time requested and was told the vehicle was ready. Once I drove it back home, it again, began to give a lot of issues as if it had not been repaired at all. I understandably took the vehicle back along with my S/O with what was basically a dead clutch, and felt very irritated with the experience and worried that my vehicle would not be properly fixed. As soon as my S/O and I showed the slightest (and fair) expression of irritation with the trouble we had gone through with the vehicle, Jesse and his staffs' customer service went straight out the window with the next interactions that took place. Starting with his staff, who would not listen to our needs and concerns while answering in a sarcastic/condescending manner, followed by Jesse, saying crass things like, "and what do you want me to do about it? " as well as insultingly telling my S/O, "just shut up man, you complaining won't fix anything" as if we had not already gone through enough with the dangers and stress of bringing back a vehicle with what was basically a dead clutch.

Brought my car in for a STAR smog check and I was in and out in less than 15 minutes! Love the fast service and the price was the best in the area!

Jesse is so polite and his staff reflects how good they are at treating their customers and finish whatever service you need for your car. Honestly do recommend them because as a family owned business they will go the extra mile to get whatever is needed done, definitely worth my business.

Royalty they help me pass my smog, also I thank state of California low income program help me pass.

Best service ever. True to price, fast and professional. Brought in my MZ SUV for a smog check. Very Polite Ruben greeted me as soon as I parked and started taking my vehicle in for service and said it would take about 15 minutes. He was right, I wasn't done reading all the Certificates of Awards hanging on their office wall when Cordial Francisco comes in with my keys and paperwork done! Yes, he had already sent in my VIR to the DMV. I waited less than 15 minutes.
I always get charge more for driving a MZ but, this is an honest you can trust place and I can highly recommend it to everyone.
