I arrived and checked in with Michael. He had no customers waiting an, told me to align my car with the front of his service bay. I parked, got out and handed him my registration slip and keys. He gave me a clipboard with a form on it, told me to enter my name, phone number and signature. The filled in price was $45. I handed Michael my keys at 9:23 and he handed my pass slip at 9:36. I told him that I would be back in 20 minutes with our other car. He told me that his was a first come, first served business and that there was no way to tell when other customers would show up. I returned 18 minutes later and he was working on one car with two other cars waiting. I checked in with Michael and he acknowledged that I would be number 3 in line. Okay, so this time my total time there was about 40 minutes. Still excellent. Michael appears to be a very easy-going guy that works practically non-stop as a one-man operation. He occupies one of the service bays at the Kwik Serve Gas Station. He accepts cash or credit cards and has several seats and some tables where clients can wait while their car is getting smogged. I hope that he'll still be working in two years when I'll have to go through this process again. Highly recommended!

Fernando, the owner, is a great guy! I've been coming here for about five years, maybe more…read more Fernando is friendly, knowledgeable, and friendly. Did I say friendly? He gets you in and out quickly, even while being friendly and conversational. It's a test only center so you can be sure he's not going to try and get you to perform unnecessary repairs. My son and I were doing some repairs on one of our vehicles, which required the battery to be disconnected. This reset the emissions readiness of the vehicle, and the onboard computer needed to evaluate the vehicle under certain driving conditions. Fernando explained what needed to be done, and my son completed the hoops and we got back in for the smog check. I definitely recommend this place!

When it was my turn, he quickly got my info, and key and took care of the testing. He was quick and efficient. I had no issues. The price was reasonable, I expected it to be more actually. So that was a nice surprise. Amaru was pleasant. And I would definitely recommend this business.

I came here for a retest after my car failed the first inspection. I paid $59 without realizing…read morethere was a $39 offer on the website. When I politely asked about it during my return visit, the employee (different from the first time) was immediately rude. I was trying to explain myself calmly and even said "let me explain better" since English is not my first language. Instead of helping, he gave a very hard, mocking laugh, acted like he couldn't understand me, and then started yelling. It felt disrespectful and humiliating. I was calm and respectful the entire time, so the reaction felt completely unnecessary. I also saw other reviews mentioning rude behavior from staff, and others saying they were refused the $39 discount advertised online. At first I ignored those reviews, but now I understand what people meant. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional, and basic customer respect was missing.

The headlights took an extra day since the car is a euro and the parts needed to be ordered. The place is busy and full of cars! Definitely go in early or call to see when the best time is to get your service done. I was looking at the low star reviews.... Be realistic with your expectations when bringing in your car. If you have a unique problem, chances are it's going to take longer than you would want it to take to get it fixed. Otherwise just go to the dealer to get it fixed and pay dealer rates/prices. All in all, Vinh's pretty straightforward and honest about the labor and parts. Definitely recommending the shop to all my friends!

Even though I know very little about cars, Mr. Lei explained everything in a way that was easy to understand.

I found K1 Smog through Yelp and was very happy to see that they offered a Yelp discount, which I really appreciated. As soon as I arrived, I asked Mr. Doug, the manager, how long I would have to wait for my turn. He told me only about five minutes and that the entire process would take approximately ten minutes. He was right! In less than five minutes, it was already my turn. Mr. Daniel was the service technician who inspected my car, and I had a wonderful experience with him. I asked him quite a few questions, and he graciously took the time to answer all of them. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in doing the inspection. Thank GOD, my Nissan passed the smog inspection! What impressed me even more was that Mr. Daniel went beyond what I had come there for. He checked the air pressure in my tires and noticed that some of them needed more air, so he took the time to add air to them. He certainly did not have to do that, and I really appreciated the extra care. I also had questions about something I had previously been told regarding my check-engine light, and Mr. Doug took the time to explain it to me in a way that helped me better understand what was going on with my car. It is always nice to come across people who take the time to be helpful and kind while doing their job well. I left K1 Smog very pleased with my experience and will gladly return when it is time for my next smog inspection.
