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.

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.

If you're looking for reliable smog service and excellent customer care, I highly recommend Moe and Advance Auto Smog Star. - aka Rico

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.

Alex handled the tire repair and was very knowledgeable. He took the time to show me where the problem was and explain how previous patches had been poorly done. He assured me that he would fix the previous work and properly restore the tire. As a woman who doesn't know much about tires or the cost of repairs, I truly appreciated their honesty, transparency, and willingness to explain everything. They made me feel comfortable and confident that I was getting trustworthy service at a fair price. Thank you both for your excellent customer service and for taking such great care of me! I really appreciate it!
