This is a great little place for smogging your car. I would call ahead to see if they have an open bay. The staff is very friendly and I was in and out in less than 15 mins. My ca...

I try to shop locally as much as possible so when I needed some auto repair work, I decided to search Yelp and try a local mechanic. Yelp hasn't steered me wrong yet, Well t...

Editorial review from Citysearch 9/2/2013

This U-Haul lot looks like a scene from AMC's series Breaking Bad. There are some RVs with folks living in them, abandoned vehicles, and 50 year old tweekers riding their bicycles in and out of the lot. I would stay clear of this place. more

Spend some energy cleaning and updating your business. You can't even tell it is a real auto repair shop from the outside. I won't be returning to Whitmore's. more

Moving is definitely not made easier at Whitmore's. There is only one mechanic on duty. I will not rent a U-Haul from this place again. more

Spend some time and money cleaning the place up. Stop selling questionable items from the trailer on your UHaul lot. more

I would not take my car here if you paid me to do so. Very environmentally unfriendly and a bad neighbor. more

Still Waiting For My Blue Beetle Sun Roof Repair! 2/1/2012

I brought my blue VW Beetle to have the sunroof replaced. It was shattered. I was sent to the ""freelance"" auto mechanic in the yellow building on Grand Street. It has been sitting in his back lot for four days. He did give me a white Honda Accord coupe as a loner. I am not bringing my blue VW Beetle back to this place. more

Cash only? No Receipt? 11/25/2011

On the week on November 22nd, I brought my white Chevy suburban to get the engine fixed at Whitmore's. They sent me around the corner to have it fixed by a guy who works of out a basement of a yellow apartment building he lives in on Grand Street. The guy made me pay cash for the repairs and wouldn't give me a receipt because he didn't want a record of his earnings. He fixed my suburban at about 6:30pm on November 25th. I won't be going back to this place for future repairs. more

Will not bring my vehicle back 10/28/2011

Have you ever been told not to judge a book by its cover? Well with Whitmore's you should definitely judge the place by the way it looks. I brought my red Chevrolet pickup in to have the brakes, shocks, and struts repaired and it was not ready when promised. I was told that this place outsources repairs to a guy fixing cars around he corner in the rear area of his parking lot, which is not zoned for auto repairs. I will not bring my vehicle back to Whitmore's. more

Excellent smog service 2/10/2009

This is a great little place for smogging your car. I would call ahead to see if they have an open bay. The staff is very friendly and I was in and out in less than 15 mins. My car is a 2001 and it cost $63 including the certificate. There is no ""free"" re-test, so if you think you might fail try somewhere else. Pros: great service Cons: limited parking more
