Honest, affordable and fast! This shop is certified with the proper tools to handle Freon and I came to this shop to have the A/C system in my friend's car checked. I had previously gone to an auto parts store and done a DYI recharge of refrigerant, but I wanted an expert to review my work and make sure I wasn't adding too much and damaging the vehicle. Eddie was very helpful and informative about the process of properly servicing the Freon. I'm so glad I came in for him to take a look, because it turns out there was a severely clogged cabin air filter that also needed to be replaced. No wonder the A/C was struggling! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for automobile Air Conditioning service. The price I paid was more affordable compared to the other places that quoted me, and Eddie's attitude was SO much more reassuring. Thank you, Eddie!!!! read more

The guy Eddie is a real dick sometimes. This place is an express place so everything needs to be fast and now. Even your conversations with him. I forgot what the name of the part and he started rolling his eyes at me. Then he had a cocky attitude in the waiting room with me. Only laughing to be a dick. The other guy was no picnic either saying goodbye all disrespectful and fake. And as I was walking out I could hear him talking shit to his co-worker about me before I even got into my car. I hadn't even gotten into my car yet. I'm good. Dude acts like he is in high school. Grow up. It says honest and professional on there website. That's a lie. F this place. Plenty of racist mechanics in the AV. read more

Told me on the phone they could fix my car after I told them the issues and have the CAP program to cover the repairs, which they are listed on the BAR website to do. Drove over 25 miles away to their shop and they turned me away because there's more than one issue wrong (secondary air pump and O2 sensors). Order the parts, do the work, smog it, bill CAP and done. Not that hard. Useless creeps! read more

CUSTOMER BEWARE. I took my car in for a smog and they misdiagnosed it. They said that my factory OEM catalytic convertor was CA compliant. The part he showed me that was wrong was a resonator, not the convertor. He based his findings on the fact that I bought the car used from a Toyota dealer in Las Vegas, even though the emissions label says the car is CA compliant. I took the vehicle to another shop who inspected it and documented that the catalytic convertor was the OEM factory installed, but he took pictures to back up his findings. I asked the Manager here fro a refund and and he stated he was right in his diagnosis because I bought the car used in Las Vegas. He kept insisting his innocence even when I had to show him where the catalytic convertor was. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

great service. took care of needs to be done on car and truck. friendly and reasonable prices

Best service ever. Eddie was such a sweetheart and offered to fix my car as soon as I showed up even though it was already end of day. I needed my alternator replaced ASAP and he squeezed me in, finishing in about 30 minutes. Would highly recommend. I will definitely be going back for future car service. read more

I was looking for a smog check station, went to yelp and saw good reviews so I decided to try it. Eddie was just finishing up a customer and he came by to see what I needed. Anyway he let me stay inside along with my disabled son which I appreciated since it was windy. 20 minutes later we were done. My husband usually takes care of car maintenance but since he was under the weather, I had to step up. Anyway I had a great experience and would recommend to anyone for smog checks. read more

Had my mustang towed to this shop. Got a call short time later from Eddie my engine was seized. Was given 2 options used or rebuilt engine. Was a little hesitant to have a small shop do my engine swap. Trusted Eddie and went with a rebuilt engine. They went above and beyond on the work that was done with my car. Eddie was thorough on letting me know the price and what parts my car needed. He so took care of the smog for me. It's been over 2 months and my car is running great. I would recommend them ask for Eddie. read more

See all

This place is star-certified, easy to find, and has a comfortable air-conditioned waiting area. Eddie was able to take my car for smog-check without an appointment. It felt fast and was also affordable. Shoutout to these guys! read more

Needed to replace head bulbs (I have bulbs, so just 5 min labor). The guy told me $40. Super overpriced for 5 mins of work. Avoid this unreasonable business read more

Quick and easy. Nice people to do business with. Would recommend them for smog and inspections

The best place in the AV to get your smoke check done. I highly recommend it. I'm so grateful that I found it two years ago when they fixed my car. Today I just went to get my smoke check again. It's so fast, so clean, and so easy. They're professional not scammers. They know what they're doing because they are real mechanics. Excellent job guys!!! read more

I found a coupon online for a Smog check for this place. The thing that stood out to me most is how clean & organized it is! I've seen a lot of mechanic shops in my life, and I was very impressed. On top of that, the service was quick, price was good, and the gentlemen here were helpful & friendly. I recommend this place for sure! read more

Omar was great , he made it quick and easy to get my smog check. I was in and out in less than 15 min . Thank you!!

First time coming, I was confused about a coupon that was for a different place and showed it to Eddie. He made me aware and still helped me out with a great rate for Smog Inspection. Service was friendly and fast! Thank you!! read more

Service was fast and economical- what more do you want from a smog check place? $40 with the on line coupon and even an air conditioned place to wait the 20 minutes it took. read more

av smog takes care of you ether oil change smog tune up ac service great service best in the av very friendly great service 5 stars will deserve dont go to jiffy lube they will rip you off go to av smog read more

Went to the AV Smog Center on Ave K and Sierra Highway. These guys are a bunch of crooks! They failed my vehicle on a bogus claim. I took it to another mechanic and he could find nothing wrong, and then it passed smog with flying colors at another station. Either these guys can't run their machines or wanted another $30 to test my vehicle again. In either case they will never get my business again, and I hope others will stay away as well. read more

We moved back up here in 2010 & have always done business with shops in the SFV. Got tired of driving down below so I figured I'd look into a local shop closer to home. Our 09 Accord needed its first smog check done; called AV Smog Center middle of last week and spoke to Will who gave me a quote over the phone. Went there straight right after and met up with Eddie. Shop is very clean & both guys were very friendly & professional. Even the office had a nice couch, had the AC turned up super cool, & comfortable. Gave my keys & registration paperwork to Eddie and he was done in 10 minutes. He also honored the phone quote without hesitation or question. Also noticed they worked on cars. Our 07 Ford Edge AWD needed plugs changed & cooling system drain & fill. He gave me a quote for the job plus parts. Came back into the shop today, the 29th of June to have the work done. Again, Eddie charged me exactly what he quoted me for labor. Parts came out to about $2 less per spark plug. He also ordered OEM parts & coolant as a proper shop should. Will was done in no time & put our car back together properly. Looks like I found my shop in the AV. Anything I cannot do (either I'm too lazy or don't have the proper tools) myself, AV Smog will get my business. I highly recommend...have your vehicle done with confidence. Thanks Again to Eddie & Will!! read more

Great place to come too! I've brought several of my cars here for smog checks and Eddie has always done a great job. Recently I had to have some work done. It was done good and at a good price. He even offered to pick me up from my house. If I have any car needs I'll be coming back here! read more

Our van started acting up on the way to my grandmothers 70th birthday party, Eddie took us in and assessed the van! He took such great care of us and we would come back any time. Thank you to the both of you that helped us! read more

I was referred to them about a year and a half ago to them. I just bought my used truck and was looking for a dependable and honest place to get my work done. They do just about everything. This place will always be my go to place for all my car needs. The staff are very knowledgeable, reliable, dependable, and fast. Thanks guys for the work you've done. read more

I brought my Yaris in there with a corroded wheel bearing, they took care of me really fast and stopped at nothing making sure my car was drivable when i left. Don't even hesitate to stop here, you're car will be in good hands. God bless guys! read more

I needed a smog check and didn't want to drive very far so I check Yelp and found A.V. Smog Center. Based on the reviews I decided to give them a shot. I got there alittle after 8 am and was greeted by a mechanic who told me the technician is not in yet but if I could wait a few minutes he would find out where he is at. A few minutes passed and the mechanic told me it would be an hour before he gets in. He then gave me the option, he handed me one card referring me to another smog center with 10% off or come back in an hour for a $40 smog check. Since I have a SUV (Expedition) I didn't on coming back. I highly recommend this place. Upon returning I was immediately brought in and taken care of. The actually test didn't take long and I wasn't pushed for any other services. I only inquired about pricing some mechanical work and the rates are very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

These guys are the best! We had problems with our van while we were passing through Palmdale and they helped us right away. They were closing soon and really hustled to get it taken care of. Top notch guys. read more

Great guys! Called them last minute about replacing a o2 sensor on my 2003 infinite and replaced it at very respectful price! Also went there for other issues like a tuneup, oil leak, and head gaskets, and let me say they did a awesome job.2000 miles later and the car is running better than ever. I vouch for the business, they were honest, real and you rarely if ever can find mechanics like that! Thanks read more

I've been coming here for years and the guys are always fair and do a good job. They fit me in same day usually and have any repairs done quickly. The only thing that needs improvement is for them to call you back when they say they will. However, if you call them, they will update you. Fair prices for parts and labor and if you need your smog done, you do not have to wait long before you are certified and on your way. read more

Drove right up, and got me in quickly. Let me relax in the really nice air conditioned waiting room. Nice, personable technician.

Brought my car in for smog they gave me the yelp price of 29.99 and the service and technician Eddie was great and curious and helpful in and out in 20 min read more

This place rip me off. I called them up and was told the smog would cost 29.95 after I give them the year, make and model of my car. I do the smog and at the end they changed the price on me. Okay, $10 or $20 bucks, won't break me but for a business to lie just to get me in the door is shady as hell! Beware of these crooks, if I could I would give them no stars! read more

I would highly recommend A.V. Smog Center because of their prompt service, extra clean waiting room, friendly employees, and reasonable cost for a smog certificate, $49.99. My registration and smog verification were due on the day I went to A.V. Smog Center. I was seen within 5 minutes and was out of there in 20. A.V. Smog Center will be my choice every time.

I come here for smog inspection. Eddie and his crew provides excellent service and the prices are competitive. Highly recommended!
