On top of that, all the products that they use for your car is of high quality.

After about 2 years of symptoms, I was finally diagnosed with flail arm ALS in April of this year. My symptoms are that my arms and hands are just about nonfunctional. And in addition to that, my shoulders hurt from carrying the dead weight of my arms. I've been on Riluzole since, but there was no improvement, so in July I had the ALS/MND Protocol, and it changed everything. I feel like a new woman. Within 2 months,I can write and swallow again! We feel very fortunate to have learned about the ALS/MND herbs Protocol. I got the ALS/MND herba Protocol from limitlesshealthcenter. com. read more

Binh is the man to go to. Firstly this shop only charges 40 for smog only. Really the cheapest around. I had a failed smog and Binh was very patient in walking through all scenarios as well as keeping in mind budgetary issues. I couldnt get my car fixed here but i should have instead of going to the dealership to pass smog. Binh gave lots of advice on what may be wrong with my car as i tried to self diagnose. Would recommend! Will be back for all future smogs! Thank you Binh! read more

My father has been coming to ALS Smog & Repair for 5+ years and so when I brought up needing a smog test he recommended this place. I called ALS Smog & Repair on a Friday morning to setup an appointment for a Smog test/certification ($40). I came in at 11:00AM and the worker, Binh Do, immediately took my car in and started the inspection. It took less than 20 minutes. He even provided a physical copy of my Smog check report and informed me he will notify DMV. Efficient, professional, and a great service. Highly recommended. read more

ALS Smog & Repair - Business card! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Milpitas, California

I had the privilege of meeting an awesome person who helped me solve my issue with my '98 Oldsmobile Aurora. Earlier this week in Santa Clara I had a Smog test performed on my vehicle but unfortunately it failed probably due to the fact that the "Check Engine Soon" idiot light on my dashboard suddenly turned on while driving the car on the freeway. Mind you that I just recently purchased this new-used car and everything checked out fine with the mechanic. I was instructed by the SC Smog Technician to go online to research "Smog Test & Repair Stations"...this was an education for me because they don't tell us anything about the two types of places that deal with Smog Testing. In fact, to save time & money go to a "Smog Test & Repair Station" versus a regular "Smog Test" establishment...after calling around to several different companies...ALS Smog & Repair was recommended for my older model vehicle. So on a Friday afternoon I called and made an appointment with BIHN on the same day. BIHN worked his magic and was able to reset the computer brain on my Aurora. He instructed me to drive to car for a certain amount of miles and then return the next day so that he could hook the Aurora with his computer to see if the car would pass the Smog Retest. I crossed my fingers and called the SC Smog Test location and luckily they were open. So I headed over and took the Smog Retest...and what do you think happened...I held my breath and was rewarded with the results of my Aurora passing the Smog Retest. The value of my experience at ALS Smog & Repair was priceless because BINH didn't have to do anything to repair the exhaust system. BIHN educated me on how my vehicle's computer brain is constantly working and something triggered the computer system to make the "Check Engine Light" turn on...no out of pocket expense other than refueling the Aurora after driving it all over town as instructed. I live out of the area but I will definitely drive the distance in case my Aurora needs any more repair work done on it because I believe that BIHN is an honest person and he knows a lot about older vehicles read more

I would bring all my cars to ASL for future smog check read more

THis place is in Milpitas, behind Milpitas Police Station. The circle street houses a number of auto related business. The germ among them is ALS. It is smog check only, but STAR certified. The place is quiet and seclude so difficult to notice in the corner of a repair facility. However, the business is honest and fast. I brought my cars there for years. Most recently, a 20 years old Pilot for Star certification. I got it done within 30 minutes. Call first to see how busy it is before you go. I typically go there in Sat late morning. read more

I came here to get a smog after reading some great reviews. The location is great and the place was easy to get too. As soon as I arrived I was immediately helped. He asked for my keys and took my car around to the back. It took about 10 minutes. At the end he gives you a receipt and they send it electronically to the DMV for you. I recommend this place to anyone like me who doesn't like to wait long haha and likes a good deal. I only paid $40. read more

Came to this place late yesterday afternoon for a smog check after striking out with a couple of other places who were either closing or had closed. Excellent service and equally excellent owners. I was in and out in about 5 minutes. Yes! Not lying! It was because I was the only customer on a Saturday afternoon. I even ended talking with the male owner, who I assume from a few of the previous reviews is Ed. I told him that his shop was very quiet and he agreed. I will definitely return here in the future. Yes, I would highly recommend ALS. read more

I brought my car in at the very last minute...during lunch time on Monday. But, I did call first to see if I needed to make an appointment for a smog check. A gentleman answered my call and said that I could bring in my car right away and there was no wait. A sweet older man(maybe the owner?) took care of me right away when I got there. Apparently, he was working solo. I think the whole procedure took less than 10 minutes. I felt bad that I had cut into his lunch time. That's why he deserves a 5 plus star review, if that was even possible! Plus, his fee was extremely reasonable! read more

Great place! Called in for a walk in visit. Gentlemen said come right in no problem. Very welcoming. I was in and out in no time. No hassle and straight forward with honest price.

Bin helped me pass my smog. He didn't just say "your car failed to pass". He gave me information on what to look up in regards to the message on his "sensor" or whatever it's called. Then instructed me follow directions that I found online. Passed my smog after about an hour of driving around. read more

best service and best price in the bay!!! i've been going to binh for years ever since i moved to the bay area!!!

Great place to get a smog test - paid $40.20 out the door for a test only check (Acura Integra). No coupons to search/clip - just $40 bucks flat. I would probably give it a 4.5 stars, but no halfsies. The guys there were friendly and helpful - during my first trip there, they told me I would fail the check since my check engine light was on and they graciously pulled the code for me (dealerships charge $$ for this 1 minute process). FYI: I had actually already pulled the code myself - I have a 97 Integra and there's a paperclip trick that allows you to figure out the code yourself - good tip to know if you don't have an ODB reader or don't feel like shelling out money to the dealership. You can look this up on Google. Fast forward a week later....I got my car fixed and came back (the guy actually remembered me). There's usually a few cars in queue; I probably waited about 20, 25 minutes to get my check done. The shop is a little old an dingy, but there's at least a waiting area with some magazines. The shop is located in a street circle of auto shops - and I slightly remember the place was not obvious to find. For some reason, the invoice also says "Al's Auto Service", so there might be some confusion on the name. I also remember that they were open a little later than most auto shops...if I remember correctly, I **believe** they closed at 7pm. You might want to call in to double check. Anyway, I'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to my friends. read more

Got in and get out within 15 minutes. Smog guy his name is Binh I think is a really cool dude. Highly recommend to get smog here.

I went to this place with my Ford Aerostar on a rainy day in March of last year. There was one customer ahead of me and the technician didn't acknowledge my arrival for at least 20 minutes while I waited. Eventually he gave me a clipboard of paperwork and went back to the other customer. When he finally finished up with her, he asked me a couple questions about my van and then we went out into the rainy parking lot. He opened he driver's side and then asked me to take the "doghouse door" off. I told him I had no idea what that was. He explained that it was inside and it needed to come off so he could get to the engine. Again, I told him I had no idea what he was talking about, I don't know anything about cars, I just needed a Smog Check. He started to get impatient with me, and pulled me into the car and showed me a panel underneath the dashboard and said I needed to remove it. I told him i had no idea how. He said he couldn't do anything until I had removed this giant panel and he couldn't do it for me. I spent the next 15 minutes out in the rain struggling to do as he asked (with no tools) and finally it pops off. He comes back to the car, turns it on, and looks at the dash. The Check Engine Light is on. He turns to me, completely exasperated and states that I've been wasting my time and his because I automatically fail because the check engine light is on. Then he takes my clipboard and goes back inside. Now my engine is open inside the cab of my car and I can't get the panel back on, no matter how hard I try. I eventually have to take it to my mechanic because the sound of the engine inside the cab is deafeningly loud. I am a Tshirt designer, I am not in the automotive business and have not even taken so much as a basic shop class. I'd rather pay $60 around the corner and be treated like a real customer than $40 to be treated like an idiot. read more
