I needed to renew my vehicle registration at a STAR station. I went to A-Tek two years ago, and I went back again the other day. I didn't make an appointment and had to wait a little while, but they have a little waiting area with chairs. When it was my turn, it only took 10 minutes! It was quick and easy. The guy told me that he submitted my information to the DMV. FYI, they do not accept credit cards. You must pay with cash or Zelle. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for great service! read more

Quality work, honest pricing, and quick service. Been taking my cars there for a few years and I have no reasons to go elsewhere

Awesome place! Every time I receive a smog notice, I come to this shop. I've already come here 6+ years. Originally, a friend who's a resident in the Walnut area recommended me, and now it has been my go-to. It's in a quiet spot right next to the Chevron gas station. The man who runs it is incredibly nice, quick to be of assistance, and considerate of the cars. read more

The place was easy to find. The owner was a very professional and honest uncle. Quiet but hardworking. There was a little wait, I would say about 10 to 15 minutes. Price was reasonable. $58 total including certificate fee for my Toyota Venza 2009. Cash or Zelle only, no credit card accepted. read more

I planned to be here at 9am when service hours started. It's 9:15am and roll up door is still closed. Called the phone number listed on profile but no one is answering and mailbox is too full to leave a message. What a waste of time! I'm helping my grandma out to smog her car and drive here from OC. read more

Showed up early on a Saturday without an appointment. I was third in line for a smog check and was out in about 45 minutes. The technician was friendly and he sent my smog certification electronically to the DMV. I would definitely recommend him for a smog check. Keep in mind he accepts cash or Zelle only. read more

Needed a smog check for my vehicle registration and the smog check center I normally go to was closed. I found A-Tek Smog Check through Siri. I called them up and was told they are open and available. I took a 7 min drive and they took me in right away. They were fast, prompt and efficient. I will no longer go to my previous smog check center, A-Tek is my new favorite place. There price was cheaper than my former smog check center too. I highly recommend this place. read more

super quick and easy, great price! the owner is very nice. I will be coming here from now on!

With many dealerships no longer offering smog checks it is good to have a local independent shop like A-Tek. I am a strong believer in supporting local mom and pop shops. They owner was very chill and helpful. The painless process took only 10-15 min. And the cost was fair. I was dreading the possibility of the test being over $100 since oil changes have creep up to that' level now. Thank goodness it was only $60 all inclusive. read more

Boyfriend's car needed a smog and hadn't been driven in 6 months due to his medical conditions. Brought the car, the owner Lac said I needed to drive it another 50 miles, something about a sensor. Drove it, brought it back with a.ceck eng light. He checked the code, told me the issue. He told me to drive it again after he cleared the code. Brought it back and no issues. He is very knowledgeable, very polite and so easy to work with. No shady business at this shop, everything is on the up and up. Will bring my cars here again for smog when needed. Thank you Lac! read more

This guy here was cool , really fast service and took maybe 15 minutes to run my car.

I came here on a Monday morning because I needed to get a smog check at a STAR certified place. The service was so quick! It was my first time getting a smog check done and the technician there made it super quick and easy. He was super nice and the whole process only took about 20 minutes start to finish. He sent the passed certification right away and I was able to register for my tags as soon as I got home. I highly recommend coming here for your smog checks for the friendly and quick service ! read more

I've come here twice now (for two different vehicles). Both times I was very happy with the service. The prices are very reasonable, and he knocked out the smog check in 15 minutes.

Lac from A-Tek Smog Check was highly recommended so I went to see him for a smog test on my 2013 Toyota Corolla. I'm happy to say that Lac is not only a super nice, soft-spoken, attentive, friendly, polite, courteous, and helpful but also a very professional, honest, knowledgeable, excellent, proficient, no-hassle service provider. Surely, I am one happy repeat customer. I highly recommend his services. Thank you, Alfred D. :o) read more

Just wonderful! I took my car back here after the place by my job, that I went to during my lunch, refuse to smog the car because it failed. I hurried home after work took the car to LAC. He was great, went over the whole car properly seen the parts I replaced with the OEM stuff and the car passed with flying colors. Most definitely recommending this place to the family and friends. read more

Brought my 1990 E30 M3 over to Luc Tran's shop for a routine smog check and he was completely clueless as to what he was doing. When he started to reverse the car up the ramp, I told him to make sure the transmission clicks into reverse and already messed that up. He took about 3 tries to get the car to reverse up the ramp cause he couldn't drive the stock oem clutch on the car. Next he tells me that because my car is older than 1995 it needs an EVAP test but this car is exempt from EVAP since none of the adapters will work for this specific car. I watch him for 30 mins trying every adapter and gasket he has and it doesn't fit. He administers a test where he could not attach to the gas tank properly and did not have an air tight seal. I even called the California air resource board and they confirmed in the 10 years I've owned this car the EVAP test was never done. He then tells me my check engine light is broken when this car didn't come with one from the factory. Tells me my headers are aftermarket when it's 100% oem. I told my mechanic about it and he was surprised that this classic restoration did not pass and said that the smog guy is an idiot. This guy Luc Tran is a crook charges you for services your car doesn't need. If you have a Prius sure go to this guy but if you have a classic or something old Luc won't know what to do read more

Came in for a smog check because I was around the area and A-Tek is by far the fastest and most affordable one I've ever been to! I was in and out in 15 minutes and Lac was super friendly and helpful as well. Definitely recommend this place! :) read more

The cheapest and fastest smog test. He is very friendly and personal. He replies quickly to Yelp quote request. Outstanding customer service. Do not waste your time calling or driving around town for smog test. By far, he is the best. read more

The owner Lac was very warm, welcoming, reassuring, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire smog check process. The smog check took about 20 minutes and contactless payment was available. Lac even informed me that I have a recall notification for my car. When first discovered the location and requested a quote on Sunday, I didn't expect to get a response until the next opening day but I received a response promptly after my request. I appreciate the effort and overcommunication, which made it an easy decision to get a smog check at A-Tek. read more
