Hazard Center Auto Mart

This place is great! All the employees are friendly, helpful and do their best to get you in and out as quickly as possible. I first found the spot because I needed a smog check and didn’t want to wait another week for an appointment at the dealership. I’ve brought my cars here a few times now and it will definitely be my new go-​to shop for smog checks and any other issues that pop up.

Sunday hours say they’re open until 12am, but I got here at 1:45pm only to be told I just missed the guy and they won’t be open until tomorrow morning. If they’re listed as staying open until a certain time they should adhere to that as a good business practice. Guess they don’t need the business that much so I’ll be taking mine elsewhere

I came in today for an oil change and smog check, Phil was such a nice gentleman, he checked me in quickly and efficiently, told me it would be about an hour (which is what most auto shops say and it ends up being a couple hours) but not this time! He literally got my car all done in 50 minutes! Great customer service! This is my new auto shop for all my car needs! Also, the lady who checked me out was so sweet! She introduced herself and said she was happy to meet me! Thank you Phil and sweet cashier woman :)

I googled the shop and was able to book an appointment on their website. When I brought my car in, the mechanic was friendly and helpful, he even talked to my toddler about his toy cars.
We left the car at the shopped and went to the restaurant next door for breakfast. We’d barely just ordered our food and the mechanic walked in and gave us back the key. Turns out he was able to find both problems and fix them really quickly.
I’m 100% happy with the work and 100% happy with the service.

My battery died for the very first time and I was stuck at work. No bueno. Fortunately, I got someone to jump start my car, but it was about time for a new car battery.
Thanks to my trusty Unilocal app, the nearest auto service was literally a couple minutes from work.
Family-​owned business for over 40 years and they really made my experience stress-​free. Everything was effortless from the time I called (which by the way was last minute and they still took me in) to the time I left. They offered me their best value for a new car battery, a discount since I was a new customer, and $ 10 off when I checked in via Unilocal.SWEET !
The whole service took about 20 minutes and my car was running like new. VROOOM ! You pay next door at the food mart after service and go on your merry way.

Great customer service ! A+ ! Carroll Darr (owner) and his assistant were great !
Love that they’re genuine, friendly, and professional. I can see why they have so many great reviews. I’ll be back for sure !

I just moved here from Scottsdale and had to get a smog test to register my M4. The gentleman who assisted me was very nice, and more importantly, very fast! He had me in and out in 20 minutes. I’ll definitely be taking my other car there. Highly recommend this place!

It’s really easy to make an appointment here because you can go online and put in your top 3 days you would prefer and the give you the appointment from there. I went in for a smog test and the gentleman who checked me in was the nicest guy ever. Unilocal offers a $ 10 any service coupon when you check in and he applied the discount anyway before he even knew I had the coupon. It took about an hour which was fine considering there’s a shopping center right across the street which has lots of food/​hangout options. It was done within an hour and then you pay at inside the little food mart gas station connected to the building. Thank you guys so much for being so kind and personable. Best Auto Mart I’ve been to and I would highly suggest going here.

This is the best auto shop! Carroll and Phil always take the best care of me whether it’s just for an oil change or a greater maintenance need! Phil is VERY trustworthy and he will honestly answer your questions and not try to up-​sell you. Don’t waste time trying to negotiate a better deal/​service with a big name auto repair provider (…firestone) when you can get the best deal/​service from Carroll and Phil without any pain in your neck (or elsewhere ;))

There you can see on Unilocal it is open on 10 pm. But actually they are closed.

Absolutely FANTASTIC service. I walked up and they took care of me right away and made it really clear what I needed to do to pass smog (had to take a long highway drive to reset my oxygen sensor). They are very personable people that genuinely car about providing you with good service. In fact, when I went back a couple days later with my wife’s car, they remembered my name and even asked how my dogs were. Again, I was in-​and-​out in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommended.

So happy we have this neighborhood auto repair. They are kind, quick, honest, and knowledgeable. We are beyond happy with the work they did on my fiancés car and my smog inspection. They are so wonderful & do not try and take advantage of you like so many other auto shops. I trust them completely and highly recommend.

Great service at exceptionally low prices.
Brought my car in today because the AC wasn’t cool anymore. Phil, the mechanic, throughly explained the procedure to me and he was very accommodating. He offered to help with the baby stroller and also gave me the «safest» walking directions around the high traffic area. He quoted me 2 hours but the job was done in 1 hour.
I was expecting to pay over $ 150 for the freon because that was the quote I received from Pep-​Boys over the phone. However, I only paid a fraction of that because I joined their E-​club.
My AC is now so cold! My little one and I are extremely happy. Thanks Phil for the amazing customer service!

Carroll is absolutely amazing! Not only does he truly care about his customers, but he is very knowledgable when it comes to cars! He helped me out of the biggest pickle, by getting me in fast, and helping me diagnose my check engine light and re-​smogging my car after it failed ! He finished my car very quickly and called me twice with updates ! I am very happy with his service. It is not often you find kind and honest mechanics. I will definitely be back, and urge you to try him out! You will not be disappointed. Thank you for your friendly and quick service !

I went in yesterday morning for a Smog Check (my first one ever), and Carroll Darr assisted me and explained everything well. I walked across the street to go to my office and about an hour later I could walk back (I guess it was 8:30am when I arrived). Great service, great prices, and Carroll is a real professional!
Thanks team!

They broke my car door handle and asked me to pay to get it fixed…
I dropped my car off for an oil change and exited it just fine. When I got it back, I was told that my driver’s side door handle did not work, and the car could not be opened from the inside. I was told that it could be fixed for over $ 200. When I told them that it was not broken when I dropped the car off, the mechanic insisted that it was and repeated the cost to repair it. Now, I have to climb out the passenger’s side door.
Too bad… I had liked the friendly service prior to this costly incident.

Carroll is AWESOME! Brought my 2009 tsx in for a smog and everything was so quick and efficient! And the owner is so nice and professional, highly recommended! They are so accommodating. If I wasn’t moving out of San Diego I would be back for sure!

Shout out to Phil for the awesome customer service (as usual). Went to get a smog, relay fix, oil change, and AC fixed. Dropped my car off in the morning and it was ready by the time I got off of work. Phil called to tell me that he needed me to bring the car back because there was a relay mishap. I appreciated his honesty and very grateful for the heads up. Always such a great experience here and very professional (all of them actually). But Phil is my favorite. Thanks again!
P. S. They are a star certified smog station if you need it for your DMV registration. They can put the findings directly to DMV for you.

Excellent customer service. I don’t know anything about cars so I don’t have much of a review, but the staff here are really great. I definitely recommend.

Smog Check cert. I didn’t pass but had a free retest. Barely came back on time and passed.
Pros: FRIENDLY staff. I would recommend to anyone in need of repair or checks to go here. Quick service
Cons: There were times when I was kinda left in the dark on what was happening to my car and/​or how much service was going to cost. Lack of communication. There was construction going on at the time, which can’t be faulted on the business, but it was a little annoying. Again, not their fault. I’m really reaching for some cons and thats all i can think of.
Great people and service!
