Yao is very professional and honest. Great work even on an older vehicle like mine. Every smog check he takes car of it. I will continue to bring my vehicle to Yao's. Great service thanks

Yao has never let me down. Been working with him for many years. Searched hard for him when he relocated and thought he closed down for good. He services all of our family cars and his prices are always fair. Very trustworthy. Glad we reconnected and he reopened.

Just got my car smogged. I went to Yao’s Auto Services in San Carlos -what a pleasant experience. Yao took care of me immediately-friendly, professional service, with easy access in a convenient location. I definitely recommend this business!

The airbag light came on in our Hyundai Sonata. The dealership couldn't give us an appointment for almost a month so my husband found Yao's and called them. They had him bring it in that morning, they diagnosed the problem, ordered and obtained the part and had the car done and ready for us to pick up by 4:30 pm that same day. The price was very fair too. Next time we need an auto repair, they'll be out first call.

One of the only trust worthy mechanics left in the Bay Area. Not only is he honest but he gives excellent prices.

Authentic, fast, professional, and cost-effective. Best car repair store in the Bay Area according to my personal experience. Usually charge less than other stores, especially when your car has an electrical problem. One of my cars had something wrong with its electrical system. I got quotes for around $1000-2000 from other stores, while Mr. Yao charged only $400 and beautifully made my car back to normal. The service we received here went above and beyond. Every time when we pick up the car, the exterior was also washed. Now we have all our cars maintained at Yao’s every year, though it is a bit far.

Great place to get smogged - very quick and the person doing the checks is a certified mechanic, unlike the typical belligerent teen technician you often find at other stations.
