Auto Check Center

Smog checks are such a pain in the ass, but coming here was actually extremely pleasant.
I found a coupon in Money Mailer for $ 29.97 (came out to $ 38 after everything). It’s kind of hidden and has a small parking lot. I’d recommend arriving at 10:30. I was here for less than 20 minutes! Everyone was very kind, even the mechanics came out to say hello. I’m actually kinda considering making this my regular auto shop.
There’s a nice little, peaceful patio to sit at while you wait, instead of being cooped up inside like most auto places.

Went here with a coupon from a mailer, for a smog check. Total was $ 38, including for the certificate.
Your wait time will depend on when you arrive and who else is waiting. I was lucky that I was the first person to arrive, so I had a 20 – 30 minute wait. Three people arrived after me, and their wait increased significantly.
No appointments here. Bring your coupon and smog letter from the DMV. No checks for payment. Cash or card only.
iPhone’s navigation will only guide you to the entrance of the auto center area. Drive around until you see Auto Check Center.

How refreshing! After having such an awful experience at the Smog station in the same parking lot, it was such a pleasure to be treated so well at this place. The man behind the counter was cheerful and helpful and I really felt like I was in good hands. They all went out of their way to take good care of me and the price was exactly what I was expecting. Even the guy who did the work on my car came into the office and shook my hand with a smile. Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help!

I have been servicing my cars here for many years. Even now with my Lexus ISF and Porsche Cayenne GTS. I have full confidence in Auto-​check. They are very honest business, they stand behind their work. I have nothing than praises for them. HIGHY RECOMMEND.

I called and tried to make a reservation to get my car smog. He said «no make reservation, come now. «when I show up 20 minutes later. He tells me to come back tomorrow. Another car showed up in between the time It took me to drive over the phone.

Great service and always trustworthy. They never try and push me into doing more to my car, but just tell me what any recommendations they have. Always go here and haven’t had a bad experience.

I went in on my lunch break today to get an oil change. I normally go to Jiffy Lube since they’re quick, but I’m sick of paying too much, so I found a Pennysaver coupon for these guys. I have a 2003 Honda Civic.
I told the guy (Mohammed I think) that I was on my lunch and he said he would try to have me done in an hour. To my surprise, it was done in 20 minutes or so! Very friendly service, too.
They have a small patio waiting area with some lawn chairs that is under some shady trees. I was actually kind of sad to leave because it was pretty nice sitting under those trees. Really appreciate not having to sit inside their tiny stuffy lobby.
I’ll be going back for my oil changes and probably to get my brakes done soon. Thanks guys!

The service was fast BUT the guy (older gentleman) tried to tell me that my smog check would cost me almost $ 80! They clearly advertised the smog at $ 39.75 for SUVs and another $ 8.25 for the certificate. I did not appreciate the increase in price because I am a girl!
Ugh!

I went for a STAR certified smog test today. Their website advertised $ 29.75 for a car, but the final price was $ 48.00.
Otherwise, the service was reasonably fast and they sent the information electronically to the DMV, so there was also convenience.
I’m giving this place 2 stars because I think they should’ve been more upfront about their price. We verbally agreed on «$ 30».

I had a smog check here. Decent Price and quick.

This place was great. After a horrible experience with a rude employee at Super Smog, they were a breath of fresh air. Polite, helpful and apologetic that I had to wait 45 minutes rather then the 20 minutes they had previously predicted. This place is also very reasonable and honest. My kind of company.

Great place for a smog check. Took advantage of their Saturday hours and they gave me a discount for being a first time customer.

Went in today for a smog test. They were kind enough to honor the coupon I didn’t know I had to print. Only took 20 minutes. Nice covered outdoor waiting area.

These guys are awesome. Understood my smog problem and fixed it. Do not go anywhere else. Very busy. Drop off car and come back.

Fair pricing, nice guys, short wait time.
Been here several times for oil changes and other small fix-​its on my car. I’ve never paid more than 40 $ for any of the services, and my car is running great (96k miles!). Fortunately nothing major has ever happened to my car but for quick & reliable oil changes and checkups, I definitely trust these guys! The desk staff has always been very friendly and helpful, and sneak me a coupon if I’ve forgotten my own from home.

Okay first of all, I have no problems saying this place is incredible, I love the owner and his family, his business is clean and workers are great they work incredibly hard and remember you, each time whether it’s oil Change check up or replacing parts on my car they get better each time!!! They are fair, cheap, and handle everything with care, whether it’s paper work or your car keys, the first time I came here they took such great care of me even brought Del taco!!! This place is the best !!! Thank you Mohammad and Daniel!!! And the crew!!!

Guys are super nice, friendly, quick and inexpensive. I always go to them for any issue. Thanks guys.

First time I went my car was too low. Was having conversations w/​the tech and some mechanics and the guy from behind the desk was rudely telling me to leave.
Second time, raised my car to clear the dyno. Younger guy who manages the place said that my car will fail smog. I have a k&n typhoon w/​carb sticker. Says carb sticker is not for my engine. He has a print out saying it excludes my engine. He never ran my car on dyno and told me it’ll fail. Tells me again to leave and like right now.
Went home and called k&n. K&N said its the right carb sticker and should be no problems w/​smog. I called the shop to tell em what k&n said. Tech told me they need to do more research and to call the next morning. Wtf.
Only went to this place coz of thier coupon. Save me some $$s.
Went back to my old place w/​c is super smog. Got my car on the dyno, passed smog in 3 minutes. Different print out saying my sri and engine match.
Don’t waste your time w/​these guys.

i had these folks do a smog check today, lured by a Pennysaver coupon and the fact that they’re relatively near my home. As per the instructions on their web site, I got the car nice and warm by driving for a few minutes prior to pulling into the shop. They didn’t laugh at me TOO badly when it turned out I had brought the wrong car!
I went home and repeated the process. There was only one car ahead of me; I was driving home within 40 minutes or so. They were pleasant enough folks, didn’t try to upsell me on any additional work, and all in all it was an uneventful experience.

Cost of a smog check is 19.75 (with a coupon) + 8.25 to send to DMV this place had the best rate in my area. They don’t do appointments so it’s first come first serve. I put my name in and came back a few hours later. The test took about 30 minutes.
I failed because my check engine light was on. They charged me the 19.75 and I was told to come back later for them to diagnose the problem and the re-​test would be free.
To save money on the diagnosis and repair, I took care of the problem myself and went back for a re-​test. It was going to cost me 19.75 again since they didn’t fix the issue so the re-​test wouldn’t be free.
It was my fault that for not knowing the check engine light is an automatic fail but
I feel kinda ripped off because they shouldn’t have even started the test knowing that the check engine light is an auto fail. I guess they took my 19.75 this time but they lost me as a return customer. I was going to recommend them to others but I feel that they’re unethical and after reading some other reviews, I rather pay a little more so that something like this doesn’t happen again.
