Their website, coupons and advertising say that they are STAR Certified. I dropped by here earlier today, and they are no longer Star Certified. Two stars for wasting my time.

I have been bringing my car and truck here for years to satisfy the DMV registration requirements. I have always had fast, friendly service, and they have some of the best prices around. I recommend this small family owned local business to anyone looking for a smog test.

Paul M.

Good place for a smog. Fast easy but service was just okay. Little attention to customers but hey, my car needed all the attention I guess. Good regardless.

Not a bad place at all. Good customer service. They were quick and I was happy they were open so late on a Saturday afternoon. Not too many places are. I would recommend and would go again when the time comes. read more

Pretty straight forward: fill out the form, pay the fee, wait to have your car smogged. Clearly a small business and I appreciated the attentiveness. No hiccups, the car passed smog as expected and I got the keys back faster than the estimated time quoted- win all around! See you again in 2 years for the next smog test! read more

I took my car in and it didn't pass, but the technician told me exactly what needed to get fixed and gave me photos showing the trouble spots. There's a few hoses that need to be replaced, which is understandable since the car's mileage is over 300K. Anyway, they were fast and friendly, and a newer car I needed to get smogged passed just fine. read more

My daughter and I have been using this smog shop since 2014. Always pleased with the price and service. Now fast forward till today 7/11/23 I returned after a smog on Saturday 7/8/23. My car failed smog due to emission systems needed to reset after a dead battery. Normal issue after a dead battery. So I was told by the very nice lady in the office that I could retest for free. I returned today 7/11/23 and she wanted to charge me 39.99 after already charging me 59.99. Now I never questioned her prices due to my trust that she was honest and fair. Took her at he word, yet now I find out she wanted to recharge me and supposedly give me a discount. I am not telling you not to go there but watch what she charges before going through with the smog Also ask for a free retest and find out she will charge you again. I will not recommend or return to this facility. Best of luck to you all read more

Sevice was fast, but guy was super rude. Had an elderly lady before us and was ride to her as well. I figured she was rude or thought this was a mechanic, he was telling her to go to a mechanic. Guess he is the rude one. Walked away from my husband mid convo saying you know what I don't want to do any business with you. We have a couple cars and asked if he would give us a discount to bring all of them to him since the one we normally go to is farther away. He said he would charge $90!!! My husband asked 90 what are you going to do to it? And that's when he walked away. How do you go from $49 what we were charge to $90? Definitely not returning. read more

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I received from your team during my recent visit. With my registration deadline looming, I needed to get my smog check, oil change, and registration services taken care of promptly. I'm thrilled to say that AA Smog went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. Right from the start, I was greeted warmly and professionally. The entire process was incredibly smooth and efficient, thanks to your knowledgeable and attentive staff. The smog check was completed promptly, with a clear explanation of the results. The oil change was done meticulously, ensuring my vehicle's optimal condition. And the registration services were handled seamlessly, saving me both time and hassle. The level of customer service I experienced at AA Smog was truly exceptional. Your team went the extra mile to ensure all my needs were met, making me feel valued as a customer. Thank you once again for providing such top-notch service. I'll definitely be recommending AA Smog to all my friends and family. You've gained a loyal customer, and I'm confident entrusting my vehicle's maintenance needs to your capable hands in the future. read more

I went in there today to get my Lexus Smogged. Worst customer service I've experienced at an automotive business ever. There was a new guy in the office, I'm not sure if he is the new owner or a new employee, but very rude guy. He tells me my car will take 15 min to get done. I said oh not bad sounds good. My car took 45 MINUTES. That was not too bad either, but then he try's to tell me that the motor in my car is not original... like wt does that even mean... So I asked him why do you say that, he tells me that the hoses on the engine are not all black, there is a different color hose on here so that's why the motor is not original. I asked him if the car passes the test with the computer, and he said yes but he said, he will not pass me because he doesn't know if the motor is original or not, which is obviously original, but he would know that if he knew wt he was talking about. The guy doesn't know wt he's talking about, rude, and doesn't have any customer service. Will never be going back here ever again in my life. And I would recommend the same for you unless you like dealing with uneducated rude technicians that don't have a clue about wt they are doing under the hood. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting AA Smog for a smog check on my vehicle and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The staff was highly professional, knowledgeable and genuinely courteous. The premises were clean and comfortable, making the waiting period much more pleasant than I initially anticipated. Their service was incredibly efficient. I was in and out in no time, yet they took the time to answer all my questions and explain the process, which I greatly appreciated. Their attention to detail was remarkable and it was clear they took their job seriously. I was also impressed by their fair pricing. It's refreshing to see a business that provides such excellent service without overcharging their customers. This certainly sets AA Smog apart from other businesses in the same industry. In a world where good customer service often seems like a forgotten art, AA Smog truly stands out. I highly recommend this business to anyone in need of a smog check. I will definitely be returning for any future smog check needs. Keep up the great work, AA Smog! read more
