Amazing experience! They were extremely friendly and professional. Took about 15 minutes. Shout out to Jose #2 (apparently there's 3), he was super friendly and patient! Would come again, won't go anywhere else! read more

Went in early this morning for a smog check. This was actually my first time ever getting one, so I'm not super familiar with pricing, but the cost felt fair and affordable to me. I have a "newer" car (2017), so it was a bit more, but I was happy to pay for the convenience and great service. There were only three people ahead of me, about a 30-minute wait, and I was in and out quickly. Sergio was amazing... very friendly and attentive. Easy pull-up spot and one of the few places open on a Sunday. Highly recommend. read more

There were two technicians working when we went. Their waiting area was occupied and so we decided to 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. read more

I saw the Yelp special, $39.75. Went in without an appointment. Immediately got started, done in 15 minutes. $48. With certificate. read more

Incredible smog check stop. Service was quick and convenient with 3 service stations. Was in and out within 20 mins. Mario was so kind and helpful. Price was great. They also have a small waiting area inside. Definitely recommend. Will be telling my mom to come here. She was so shocked when I pulled in and was already being attended. read more

Star Auto Check - My receipt - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Covina, California

Fast easy smoke check. Be sure to use the coupon for $39.75 but it doesn't work on Sundays.

The guys here definitely know what they're doing, smog while you wait and certificate as well. The only reason I took off one star is because the line was long, it was hot and only had one guy working. As my car was finished, another man came and began working. So it started to move a little bit faster. All in all a great experience, recommend that you check out their coupon! Thanks for the great service star auto check. read more

They tried to upcharge me. The prices were on the wall but all of a sudden it was $40 more than the sign on the wall said. The guy argued with me. I didn't really have a choice because I needed my tags so I paid it but I'll never go back there. I think new owners took over because the people that used to be there were all gone. read more

I got a quick response for a quote on Yelp. Went 2 hours later and there was no wait time. I was out of there in less than 10 minutes. Affordable and efficient place. read more

Quick and painless location to get your Smog Check Completed. When I got here there was only one other car being serviced and my wait time was not long at all. They did what they had to do with no drama and I was on my way with the paperwork and a passing grade. I suspect this is what you are looking for if you need to get your vehicle smog checked. I would come back here in the future. read more

Fast, friendly, and professional service. Good pricing and location. They respond very fast to yelp inquiries, so reach out.

I recommended this location to my son because of my good experience. However, when my son went his car didn't pass. He took care of all the maintenance suggested by the person who helped him. When he returned, a different man was there and refused to retest the car!! He said to come back on Sunday when the original worker would be there. My son explained that Sunday would be outside of the 30 days allowed to get a retest. The man was very rude!! He refused to retest the car even when my son showed and explained the repairs he had done. If you have an older car, don't go there. I wish he had gotten the name of the guy who refused to test it. I'd let the owner know. He was possibly Filipino with his hair slicked back in case the owner reads this. read more

This drive-thru smog check is pretty convenient. They are one of the few Star Certified smog check stations open on Sunday in the area. You can wait in your car in line until it is your turn. Once it is your turn, they will direct you to which spot to park at. Once they start the smog check they have you sit by the front desk where you will pay. They take cash but prefer card since they don't have a lot of change available. The smog check itself was probably about 15-20 minutes per car. read more

As long as you request a quote through Yelp will the $39.75 price be honored. The times I have gone they always ask for proof of the conversation. I gave it four stars because if you don't show proof they try to charge you full price. That happened to me once because the employee did not ask for proof. Once I showed it he had to cancel the full price charge and honor the Yelp Price. read more

Was in and out in 15 minutes. Fast and efficient easy and my car passed smog. Certificate sent automatically to DMV.

Drive through smog check?!? Super cool and convenient! I was able to come in without an appointment. The process itself was pretty quick. The man who helped me was kind in helping me even though I forgot my paperwork (paperwork is suggested). Overall, great experience. I was recommended to come here by Yelp and someone I know. I will definitely be back when I am due for another smog check. I also noticed they offer other services. I included a picture with the services/prices. Hope it helps :) read more

Fast and courteous. The mechanic got in the job immediately. I would recommend to all my friends and family

The dreaded Smog Certification requirement that arrives in the mail. Thankfully Star Auto Check has you covered!

Super fast and fair priced. Went in for a smog check and Jose helped with everything and was extremely helpful.

Excellent experience, very fast without an appointment. Great value, just be sure to show them the Yelp coupon BEFORE you leave the car! Will become my go to for smog check! read more

I got a smog here the other day and i had just gotten a car from facebook marketplace so i didn't have all the information yet since i needed to transfer it to my name. The worker Jose made me feel really uncomfortable, as if i was lying about the whole transaction and information, later he comes out with META GLASSES. I don't think that's appropriate especially when there is peoples information near them and around them. Whole interaction was uncomfortable all due to him. The other guy i didn't catch his name was so nice and respectful. read more

Best smog station . Very quick service and technician was helpful with the yelp coupon process!

So glad this place is open on a Sunday!!!! Drive thru smog check is highly convenient. I was done within 15 minutes. Totally worth it. The guy who helped me was super nice. Decent waiting area. Definitely will recommend this place to others. read more

I have an older Honda and went there on a chance because they passed the car two years prior, and it has been barely driven. It was an older Asian gentleman that was my tester. He asked the other man a lot of questions and had a heck of a time checking the timing, which is not hard. He failed the car on timing, and it barely did not pass on CO. The CO issue was simply it needed to be driven, but the timing was impossible because they passed it before and no work was done on car. I recalled the time it passed before the Hispanic mechanic at this station told me they had to check by doing something on a vacuum line (?), and said if they don't do it correctly it will be wrong when tested. I explained this to the Asian mechanic and responded, "It still did not pass for CO." Then after paying approximately $90 for nothing, I was told it would be another $39 for the retest after getting it fixed. I drove it and took it elsewhere and it passed easily. This was the second time with two different older Hondas in which they hit me on the timing, and then take it elsewhere and it passed. Maybe good for newer cars, but I would avoid this place if taking an older Japanese vehicle as not only does it seem they were unsure how to test it, but I feel their errors were confirmed after taking it elsewhere and it passed. Also, free retests apparently does not apply if taking an older car and I was not told that until they handed me the failed paperwork. There won't be a 3rd time for me at this place. I gave two stars instead on one, because they used to have a mechanic there who understood the older cars and passed it two years earlier. Maybe he is still there, and I struck out going there on a Saturday which may have been his day off. read more

That photo of the charge aside the name on this Yelp page is an absolute lie. They need to update to show a true price of $59.95 (not $39.75) as part of their marketing- or at the very least, delete that photo. That being said, I've been bringing all my vehicles here for years. It is a quick in and out experience. read more

The place is well located and the staff is very friendly, but they didn't have the necessary machine to test my 2003 Hyundai Sonata. I had to leave to find another place that could do the test. read more

I had my smog check done here and was told it passed, but they failed to report the results to the DMV. This caused major delays with my registration, and when I called to get help, no one took responsibility or offered a solution. They refused to submit it to the DMV again claiming they had already done this yet it was not registered with the DMV directly as I had to go through the extra legwork to register it on my end when this was supposedly part of their service. In addition, they refused to honor a coupon that they had advertised, and only did so after I insisted multiple times. The men working there were also rude and dismissive -- especially toward me as a woman there with my teenage son. The attitude was condescending and unprofessional. I won't be going back, and I don't recommend this place to anyone looking for honest or respectful service. read more

From start to finish this was SO EASY! I pulled in without an appointment and walked out 10 minutes or so later with my smog done AND my new registration including my tags! Shabaz and the guys at Star Auto Check KNOW their business, it's customer service and it is done to perfection. Thanks guys see you next time for sure! read more
