The extra charge for SUVs is ridiculous, especially when it's the same test and same state fee. Nothing about it felt honest. The owner was rude, easily irritated, and acted like basic customer questions were some kind of personal attack.

Bad attitude, misleading pricing, and zero professionalism. Hard pass.

They were able to help me with my smog check and let me know what was wrong with my truck all the way around. I needed an oil change and they took care of it no problem. Also was able to tell me which tire pressure sensor was bad and was able to tell me about my stability track. On top of all of that they topped off all my oil and fluids. Check all of my filters. It was just a really good experience that I haven't had from a repair shop in a very long time not even the dealer does it like that anymore. I really appreciate how transparent they are. Five stars really aren't enough stars for them. And the best part is, it's a price you can't resist. Thank you guys!

Valvoline Instant Oil Change

Just got my oil change done at Valvoline in Whittier and honestly, not bad!…read more Everything was quick, smooth, and efficient. I stayed in my car the whole time, and the technician (a female staff member) was clearly hardworking and knew exactly what she was doing. She explained things clearly without making it feel overwhelming or pushy. Price-wise, I paid about $105 for full synthetic. It's probably not the cheapest option out there, but for me, it was worth it. If you're someone who: 1. Values efficiency 2. Just wants to get it done without hassle 3. Doesn't want to deal with traditional mechanics Then this is a great option. I'd rather spend a little extra for convenience and peace of mind. Overall, would definitely recommend

I had a frustrating experience just a few days ago at a different shop where my truck failed the smog check. The issue was with the OBDII monitoring, but the technician there was zero help--he didn't offer any explanation, just charged me the full fee and told me to "try again in a couple of days." I felt like I was just throwing money away. Coming to Alvarez was a completely different experience. Not only was the service fast, but the technician actually took the time to talk to me. He explained exactly why my truck failed previously and what I needed to do (drive cycles) before getting it tested again to ensure it would pass this time. Save yourself the headache and the money--this is the only place I'll be taking my vehicles from now on.

They all make you feel that you're part of the family. They offered me coffee and cold water while I waited for my car to be done.

Patrick is the man. If your car can't pass smog, he can point you in the right direction on what's needed to make the car pass. He is a one man show and he's not young, so be patient. Maybe JB needs to learn to be patient and realize that the world does not revolve around him read more

The vibes felt off as soon as we started speaking because he never made eye contact and I felt disregarded. I've had smog checks in the past and never needed to bring in anything. They have a system that can look up my VIN and pull my information... Anyways, the place gets a 1 star because the employee was a bit rude and he showed me the paper he was looking for, and gave the drawer a little slam. He was being very curt and wouldn't budge after I offered the VIN a few times. I called another smog place nearby and verified over the phone if I can provide my VIN since I don't have any paperwork and they said it's no problem at all... So that confirms my suspicion that the guy was just being lazy. He wanted to scan the paperwork instead of typing it himself. I came to this place because of the great reviews, and I'm sure they provide wonderful service, but my experience with this guy's vibes were off. I happily took my car to Lambert Smog Only Center, was warmly greeted, and out in 15-20 minutes.
