This year, i received the dreaded "Smog Check Required" notice prior to renewing the registration…read morefor my 2018 vehicle. I checked Yelp and read the numerous positive reviews for Star Auto Check. I requested a quote via Yelp and within seven minutes, I received a reply and a quote from Joe. Joe advised me that a smog check was $39.75 plus $8.25 for the smog check completion certificate. Joe also mentioned that no appointment was required and that it would take ten mins max to have the service completed. Everything sounded good to me so I took my truck in for a smog check. Upon my arrival, I was immediately directed to park my truck in an available bay. A very friendly and hard working employee (Sergio) approached me and requested my DMV renewal notice or the vehicle registration which I provided. I had time to sit in the waiting room and glance over friend's Yelp reviews (what could be better than reading Yelp reviews? :) Nine minutes later, Sergio walked in and announced "your truck is ready". WHAT!! Wow, I was impressed as the service was completed in record time. Sergio advised me that proof of the service was electronically sent to the DMV and that I should receive my new tags within seven to ten days. Nothing further was required from me. I was genuinely impressed and thankful for the GREAT and friendly customer service I received today. Thank you!

There were two technicians working when we went. Their waiting area was occupied and so we decided…read moreto wait outside instead of the small waiting area. Their techs spoke Spanish amongst themselves the entire time. I guess my tech assumed I didn't understand what he was saying. He told the other tech that we were ridiculous to watch him because he wasn't going to steal anything. Well, I never thought about that until he mentioned it. I honestly just wanted him to finish so that I can be on my way. I was staring at my car sitting in the stall not doing anything and wondered why I was still there. Another car that came in later was finished first. I told him that I heard and understood what he said. The price for the service was fair but I certainly didn't need the attitude even if it was a joke or not.

Advance Auto Smog Star has been my go-to place for all my smog check needs for more than 10 years…read more That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident. Moe is always professional, friendly, honest, and very accommodating. Customer service is consistently top tier, and he always makes the process easy, quick, and hassle-free.

And as a hobby mechanic, sometimes my work only makes sense to me. But Mo took the car in, listened to my explanations of some of its idiosyncrasies (won't hold an idle until warm, the rad fan is manually toggled... you know sh*tbox stuff) and performed the smog. What I felt at his shop was that I felt valued as a customer, not just a nuisance hobby mechanic looking for a professional to clean up their mess. He was kind, patient and got the car to pass. Will be coming back with my other sh*tbox Volkswagen.

Being in the automotive industry my entire career (20 years technician, 25+ years service management, it's safe to say my retail awareness is 'heightened '. That said: 1- Angel is a no nonsense kinda guy and got the job done at a very reasonable pricing 2- Seeing as most all customers wait, I strongly suggest the waiting room be spruced up. A LOT. Conclusion- I will be coming back for my other vehicle and will recommend Reliable. Please do what you can to the waiting room, it does make for a more positive experience.
