This is the second vehicle I have brought into this establishment this year. From driving up, to leaving with the certification, took less than 10 minutes. Efficiency comes in a non-beautiful package. No pretty lounge, yummy cookies, or designer coffees needed. Cost effective and cost efficient should be the message on their listing. read more

This place is very quick. Excellent customer service. He fit me in to do my smog check and he was finished in 10 minutes. It cost about $53 to get my 2016 BMW checked and included the certificate.

Went to get a smog after I had to do a Manufacture recall v51. The truck failed and the tech said that I needed to run it for awhile before I could test for smog. The truck didn't fail, it was inconclusive because nothing was reading which shouldn't have happened with the recall, but that is a different story. Either way I was charged $50 for the smog, then told to drive the truck for 50 mile and come back. He is going to charge me another $30 for a retest and $9 for the certificate. Talk about a rip off. I thought since it was inconclusive, I would get a free retest. Nope. I will not be going there again. Bad business practices. read more

I was greeted upon arriving and told to wait as there were 3 cars in front of me. I stood outside because here was a nice breeze. Signs for no public restroom posted so didn't ask about them.

Excellent service and customer care! I have been temporarily residing in the Las Vegas area. I needed a smog check for my 16-year-old California vehicle. After searching the Internet, I discovered A1 Express Smog Check in Barstow, California, which is a 151-mile drive from Las Vegas. Because of their Google Review had 4.7 Stars, I decided to take the chance and call A1 Express. I spoke with their smog technician, Amin. He was very friendly, explained the smog check process, and he mentioned A1 Express is "Star Certified" by the CA DMV. By telephone, Amin quoted a price for the smog test and a separate price for the smog certificate, so I knew the total price in advance. When I asked for directions to A1 Express, Amin asked me if I was driving from Las Vegas. I responded, "Yes," and without asking, Amin offered a $10.00 discount. Amin also provided excellent instructions for exiting the I-15 to his facility - they were spot-on. About 2.5 hours later, I arrived in A1 Express in Barstow. They are conveniently located on Old Route 66; across the street from Mojave Toyota. I was greeted by a technician who immediately took my paperwork and began the smog-check process. Upon arrival, Amin was on the telephone, but as soon as he finished, he introduced himself and was as friendly in person as he was by telephone. The smog-check took less than 20 minutes, as I sat watching television in the customer waiting room. Upon completion of service, I was prepared to remind Amin about the $10.00 discount he offered by telephone. But, to my pleasant surprise, there was no need for a reminder, because the discount was already on the invoice - nice! In summation, I highly recommend A1 Express Smog Check to all the residents of Barstow. More so, if you are one of the many temporary or part-time California residents in Las Vegas, you should feel confident driving to Barstow to visit this facility. A1 Express is efficient, straight-forward and honorable. read more

It was amazing how quick, friendly and efficient my short visit was to A1 Express Smog. Amin and his colleague were very professional. Thank you and I appreciate the easy experience. I didn't even have time to read a page in my book! I'm not complaining ;) there's a first time for everything. WOW! read more

Had pulled my car out of three year storage and DMV demanded Smog Test NO WAIVER. I had to replace the battery and knew nothing about emissions steps in car ECUs prior to stopping at A1. Jesus was very helpful and hooked up a diagnostic tool to make sure the steps were good before testing. He didn't charge me to check, or let me fail a smog test. WONDERFUL experience! read more
