Brought my dad's 2018 Ford F-150 in for a smog check this morning and had a great experience. I live right around the corner and drive by this shop every day. First time there but Tam told me he's been there for 15 years! I can see why because he seems to be doing things right. ! was taken right away. He showed me the price upfront - no haggling or surprises. The whole process took about 10 minutes, and everything was straightforward and easy. Friendly, efficient service with no hassle at all. I'll definitely come back here the next time I need a smog check. Highly Recommended! read more

Super fast and courteous service. In and out in about 20 mins. $68 was the total cost.

My husband and I have been using Tam for about 8 years and can't recommend him enough. He's very thorough, honest and knowledgeable. We have taken our cars, families cars and even recommend him to friends. He always gets us in and is very quick! Even though we moved from down the street we will still drive to go see him because we trust him so much. read more

Tam is the best!! I called on a Saturday afternoon and Tam said he could fit me in, so I made my way over. His pricing is fair and upfront. The best thing is how friendly and quick the whole process is. I pulled up, signed for the work being completed, and was in and out in 10-min. Incredibly fast service, easy, and really friendly too. Would absolutely recommend Curtner Union Smog Check for all your smog check needs. read more

If you want a snack there is also Wallgreens and a bakery in the same plaza. I was out in and out in less than 15 minutes. Definitely worth going here. Thank you, Tam! :) read more

Called at 8:30am to see if he could fit me in, he said come right over.

Just got my car smogged again. Same great service. In and out in 10 minutes. Doesn't get better than this.

Did a great job. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes and the tech even topped off the air in my tires on request. Couldn't really ask for much more. Competitive pricing too. read more

A bit more expensive than other places, but friendly and quick service with convenient opening time. In and out in less than 15 minutes.

This place is great! I needed to have my car smogged and so brought it here. I'd forgotten I had some maintenance done on the car recently and so the power was disconnected during that maintenance. That meant the smog test will fail until miles and time are put on the car. They found this out during the smog test, and told me to bring it back again once I'd driven it enough. I came back 3 times, each time they checked the code and told me it needs to be driven more. Ultimately it eventually passed the smog test. They only charged for the initial test and with each visit they were patient, thorough, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be using again! read more

I came in about 15 minutes before closing and Tam was able to help me quickly with no problem. I was out of there in 10 minutes. Tam is friendly and provided great service. I'll be back! read more

My oil light came on and I called around my home. The owner sounded honest so I took the chance. It was completed within 20mins when I got there. In speaking with him I did get a sense of honestly in his work. Just thought I'll share my quick experience. read more

Tam was friendly, and fast. $60 and my smog check was done in just a few minutes. I will be happy to come back here next smog check. I didn't need the DMV renewal notice or any paperwork. He had the license plate and VIN recorded before I had time to get out of the car. :-) He transmitted the smog certification directly to DMV so I was able to complete my renewal registration later online later the same day. read more

This place is awesome. Fast and honest. And truthful. I would come back again....I am glad that they also open on Saturday too. read more

This really is a gem of a find. I called up for an oil change and was in and out in an hour. (and most reasonable price I have had) Guy was so friendly and personable. He even may have a part that I need for my car and told me to come in one day when I have an hour (as walgreens, mc D's and Lunardis are across the road) and he will drive my car to a specialist to make sure the part is the right one before fixing. Will def be back soon. read more

Tam is awesome and quick. I was in and out in 15 mins. They are a star center too so they upload the results online same day.

It is located at a corner in which it is difficult to maneuver your car. It is as if it was forced to pop out there. But if I don't recommend it. It is because I am selfish. This guy all dirty, greasy and oily asked me to go have a sit by the corner in an uphill landscape by the time I was able to properly set the chair. This guy said my car is done with the smog test. I said what? That was the quickest smog test is this legal? He smiled and said something about what he used to do and all. Don't be fooled by this dude greasy, oily and messy. He just drives a really cool SUV beamer with all the glossy shine, rims and tires. He knows more than he lets you know. So if you value time and needs your smog test done in due time. Go to this place. If you get the opposite of what I promised. Chances are whoever did the service do not drive a beamer . read more

Tam is a very sweet and capable business owner. My husband and I have both used him for smog checks and we were in and out in ten minutes. He does a lot more like oil changes and services because he's spent years working at a dealership. I highly recommend this wonderful, clean, friendly little neighborhood shop. read more

Needed a smog check and they got me right in. A+ service, was in and out quick. Def going back next time.

Great service, prompt, and affordable. I called to inquire about hours and casually said I'd probably stop by after 5 pm. They actually waited, which is crazy to me because some places seem to forget even if you made an appointment. Will be back next time I need to do a smog check. read more

I was referring by my son but still not sure. When I first meet Tam and ask few questions about my car. He is a knowledgeable and answered my questions about the car. I trusted Tam and leave my car for him. I was so happy when picked up the car. He did a great job with my car. Tam is a great guy and care customer read more

Was having issues with my SUV. Had my car looked at other places saying it was a transmission issue and said to expect to pay 4k for replacement/repair. Since this place said they service transmission I figured I'd ask to see the costs and turn around. Brought my car over met the gentleman. Was friendly and honest. I was actually referred to him earlier for other items since I get my oil change across the street from them. Long story short, Tam looked at my car found out that it was. It a transmission issue and saved me a ton of money. The issue ended up to be my alternator. I am so relieved and happy. I think I just found my go to mechanic to help me service car for now on. Costs for fixing was reasonable, fast, and was updated each day on the work of my car. Tam fixed a few other things that needed to be fixed immediately and also gave me suggestion to prolong the life of my car. I appreciate his honesty and hard work. 5 stars in my book!!! read more
