Smog Test
This is the most efficient automotive service provider that we’ve been to. The Customer Service agent was awesome; he was very professional and hospitable. He made sure we were comfortable and walked us through the procedure. He also made it very easy for us to understand the breakdown of the costs. He was very personable.

CSAI is thorough, quick, and honest
At CSAI, I know my car is in great hands. An oil change includes a thorough inspection, including pictures of important issues. They patiently answer all my questions and provide (very reasonable) estimates for their services.

Great customer service!
I went in for a smog check and was greeted by the service advisor and helped immediately. He explained the price and they took my car in within 5 mins and I was out within 30 mins. It was a fair price, quick service, and a great overall experience!

CSAI is an honest and affordable shop
I can't say enough great things about this mechanic shop. They fixed my A/C same day and for much less than what the dealer quoted me. The mechanic even showed me the part that was causing the issue. The shop and waiting areas are clean. CSAI is backed by AAA too! This will be my go to shop from now on for all major car repairs.

Honest and knowledgeable
Look my car is expensive to fix and requires a unique knowledge once the warranty runs out the dealership becomes a shady and expensive place to fix your car. I've had my car fixed here in California smog and automotive institute a couple of times now and they been fair on the price given my car a competent diagnosis and fixed it in a timely manner . I had to leave my car with them and they stayed in contact with me through phone text and email communications they provide excellent customer service which is hard to find these days.

Took a lot longer than anticipated
I had an appointment in the morning to fix problems happening in my car and was told it would take 1 hour to diagnose and 2 hours to fix. They ended up keeping it overnight and then until the late afternoon the next day. They have poor communication resulting in having to pay for more Lyft rides and me stuck at work waiting. I found out my car was done hours prior but I had to call in when I was told they would call. Really disappointed and will not be returning.

Good work at a good price
My 2003 Altima was involved in a collision and needed not only a new radiator but a new hood, side panel, and fender.The desk people at CSAI were all super nice to my daughter who brought the car in and even gave her a ride back to school at UCR.It took a while to get all the parts but when the job was finished, including paint, we basically had a new car. It runs well, the radiator is fixed, and the entire front end looks like it had never been in an accident.Overall we're really happy with the work and would recommend CSAI to anyone wanting a good mechanic in Riverside.

Good experience
First time here - I googled it and it was the first place I checked out - I was in a hurry to get smog check - place is in the back of property - I was greeted by Oscar and he was very polite and efficient. Offered me a seat in the cool office while I waited and offered water. They did my smog check quick and my car was ready to go at the entrance and the mechanic even opened door for me. Nicest experience I’ve had in a mechanic shop
