Reasonably priced smog check in an easy to access area (right next to the 24 hour fitness!) Service time is relatively quick for the price, and it looks like my car won't be needing a check any time soon! Thank you, Walnut 76! read more

Came into this establishment by recommendations from my father in law. My wife car needed several complex services done. Services include engine replacement, new axel, new coolant, and driver seat visor replacement. We have dropped the car off back in September and got the car back with ac not working the visor That was supposed to be replaced came off while driving and with no gas on the car not once twice. We went to the shop 3 times to pick up the car and first time we picked up the car the car had no gas and car was smoking after driving 11 miles and this time after 3 months we picked up the car with empty tank once again. After leaving the car several times on full tank of gas. After calculation someone in the shop drove over 500 miles worth the gas. Also adding that the interior of our leather seats have several scratches and dirty prints on the handles. Overall after paying little bit over 6k we have picked the car up with no gas, interior of the car filthy dirty, driver seat visor broken, and ac/heater not working. I still don't know how this establishment still stay in business with this unprofessionalism and lack of accountability for their services. Deion and his team should not be offering any of the complex services and just stay doing simple oil changes and check ups. HIGHLY not recommending this place if you need any complex services unless you want to waste 6k and time waiting for your car that works partially. Good luck to this place. I won't be shocked if your establishment is closed by next year. read more

My granddaughter brought her car in for a diagnosis and estimate because it wasn't starting. She was very clear that she wanted to know what was wrong before any work was done. She received a video explaining the issue and was initially quoted over $1,200. She responded "okay thank you," simply acknowledging the information. She did not authorize any repairs or agree to that amount. Despite that, the shop proceeded with the work anyway. Only after she questioned it did the price suddenly drop to around $700, which raises serious concerns about how this was handled. The invoice then stated that she "authorized" the repairs, which is not accurate. At no point did she clearly approve the work or give permission to proceed. When she went in with her father to address it, they were told the only option was to "put everything back," which is not a realistic or acceptable solution once the work has already been completed. She was ultimately put in a position where she had to pay in order to get her car back. This experience felt deceptive and unprofessional. A formal complaint has been filed with the Bureau of Automotive Repair. I strongly caution others to be very clear and cautious. Based on this experience, the shop proceeded with unauthorized work, changed pricing after the fact, and misrepresented approval. He is a crook!!! And all he did was change out some spark plugs and Gasket and he charged her $700 where I found out that that service that was done would have been $350 at the most anywhere else damn Crooks!!!! STAY AWAY read more

I just did my smog check and oil change at Walnut 76. I called a few places in my neighborhood and they charge $58 or more. And I received some price quote responses from Yelp and they charged between $48-$65. I found out this one from Walnut Buzz. You only need to show them the coupon from your phone (it's on their website just search Walnut 76). The coupon states $29.95 (star certified) but it's not including $10 certification fees. It's still good deal for $40. They may charge more fees on larger cars though. My car is due for oil change and they have this service. Regular oil filter change including disposal fees is about $37.99. Both services didn't take long and took me less than an hour then it's done. They told me that I need to change the front brakes and dog bone mount but I don't have time today. And they haven't told me the exact price including the labor fees. They did give me a roughly estimate price on both though. If you are looking for smog check and oil change place, this is one of the places that you can check it out. read more

Gas station with no gas. They don't have tap to pay and that's OK. The card reader on the pump did not work at all, tried a second pump and didn't work there either. Went to pull around to the third pump, but it had an out of service sign on it. Seems that the owner of this gas station does not want to pay for upgrades or even basic maintenance, and so there is no gas here but it is a good place to waste your time. read more

Took my Ford Focus to fix A/C. Deion the Manager gave me the price for a compressor and condenser change. The price was very reasonable. They were able to finish the job in a day. They were very communicative along the way. Deion would send me videos of the progress via phone. I'm very satisfied with their service. The place is very professional. The mechanic shop clean and organized. I recommend checking them out for your next auto service. read more

Deion, who is now the new manager has continued the company's excellent service and commitment to fair and ethical practice. His attention to detail, what is most needed in your car's maintenance and fair pricing leaves you satisfied that that when you hit the road again, you will feel safe. read more

Just so you know. Any cars older than 2000 will probably be $59, the coupon is for $29 but there is a fee for certification, and older vehicles. Also, he doesn't do Smog checks other than Thurs/Fri, or Fri/Sat - guy I spoke to on the phone can't seem to make up his mind, LOL. I would call to check on everything before you come, and even then be prepared to expect differently, seems like reviews on here say they change their minds all the time LOL. read more

Smog mechanic wouldn't smog my car for the free retest because of a new found non-existent oil leak on my pcr valve cover. He said the whole cover needs to be replaced... funny if there was an oil leak wouldn't that be a gasket? This place is a scam just looking for money for the attached garage. It should be illegal to have any association with a shop if your a start certified smog facility to avoid this scam. I took the truck to my trusted mechanic and he doesn't see the issue. I'll be taking the truck to another smog shop. I'm out $50+ the cost of the second shop. If you have issues make sure to report them to the BAR so we can get these guys out of business. https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapps/bar/complaints.php read more

Came in on Friday for what I thought was going to be a quick smog check. I've been working on cars for over 10 years, and worked at a Toyota dealership for 6 as a certified technician. This is all to say I know my way around my wife's 2009 Corolla and I know the condition it's in. This place failed me because a hose was stiff, not broken or cracked or even missing but stiff. I took the vehicle to two other places and they said the hose was fine, that it wouldn't fail unless broken or missing, I had no check engine light on and no monitors missing. Played phone tag with the manager until I got ahold of them today where they remained adamant that it's a bad hose. I would r recommend this place to anybody unless they want to get scammed on emission repairs they don't need. I even called the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and the first thing they said was "wow I've never heard of that fail" so goes to show these guys truly have no clue what they're doing. Save your money and go to a shop that won't scam you out of your hard earned money with their poor technicians. read more

I went to do smog check today. All the staff were very friendly. And it only took me 10-15 mins to finish it. Definitely recommend it! read more

Called to ask if they're open and if smog check is being done. The lady that answered said they were and it's $59. I asked if there was a wait and she said no one is here. I arrive 30 minutes later and a gentleman said no smog check today. Tomorrow there will be. I mentioned that I called beforehand and he said tomorrow. Get your stories straight and tell customers the correct info. I went out of my way to take advantage of the coupon. read more

DON'T GO HERE for a smog check. They rip you off and steal your money. Not worth your time. They are rude, unprofessional, and are just digging for money. Find a better place. We ended up taking the car some where else, the car to have no problems and pass. Where at this place my car didn't pass and they wanted $1600 to "FIX" it. And when we try to call back to complain, they said to call back tomorrow. I will call them back! read more

Bring your car here at your own risk. You will end up with more problems than you went in there with, and they will not release you your car unless you pay and do their overpriced suggested work. DO NOT trust the fake 5 star reviews here. Horrible, horrible experience. read more

This station is located on the corner of Amar and Nogales on the border of West Covina and Walnut. The prices here are terrible and so is the customer service. Don't go here. Drive up to the Chevron station at Temple and Grand or down to the other 76 station at Amar and Azusa - they are at least 20 cents cheaper per gallon and you'll get much better customer service. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Walnut 76 Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Walnut, California

The workers are very unprofessional in treating the customers. Had zero patience when answering customer's additional requests. The Vietnamese guy literally told off my husband as "f*^#ing idiot"! He just kept asking for more money which is ridiculous!! We will never ever go there again!!!! read more

I got a smog check here, failed 3 times. He was nice enough to retest it but couldn't tell me how to fix the problem I spent way to much time out of my day fixing a problem that wasn't even there. Larry seems like a nice guy, very abrupt. Unfortunately he didn't really help me out. Either He didn't know what he was doing or the other place just fixed the problem without me knowing. I'd love to give this guy the benefit of the doubt but... I just can't after making me jump through hoops for nothing. read more

Ruined my car. Do not go here save yourself the trouble and headache. This new owner and his mechanics don't know what they are doing. After a few miles driving away started making noise. Right away I called and told them about it and he said to drive it for a day and if still makes noise then bring it back. The next day talking to the same guy he said I have to pay more money and claims it was my fault. Obviously I was upset...Long story short I need to take my car to another mechanic to fix the mess and take this company to court. Lesson learned read more

I took my car here because we had been taking our vehicles there forever. This asshole charged me $779 to replace my power steering pump. The part costs maybe $150 so the rest was labor for a job that takes less than an hour to complete. Shad'y slime ball thieves. read more

Super nice guys working here. I had them do some work on my super old Camry and they got it up and running like a charm.

On Tuesday, May 2nd, I gave the cashier two $20 bills for gas. I told her i didn't think it would take $40 to which she replied, "$30"?. I said probably more, but maybe not $40. My car filled up at $30. When i came back to the cashier, i asked for my receipt. She handed it to me and then i asked for my change. She said i only gave her $30. I said no, i gave you two $20's but i wasn't sure how much gas my car would take. I've been coming to this gas station since 1990 for repairs and gas and this is the first time I've had an issue with them. I don't think the cashier was trying to short change me. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. It was most likely an honest mistake. The bottom line is, if you pay cash, only give the amount you plan to use. read more

Friendly staff, easy service, and quick. I took my 2001 PT Cruiser here for it's smog check, and it was a good experience. One slight issue: With the coupon(print it out), it's supposed to be 29.95 for the service, but they add on a $10 CA Certification Fee to that price. read more

Don't go to this place avoid it if you could. I went in for brake pad replacement then they started saying it needs brake calipers, brake rotors. Then when I got my car back the A/C was working fine until they lowered the condenser. Worst service ever. read more

OVER CHARGING PEOPLE IS WRONG I don't like to change my michanic but more importantly i don't like to be overcharged. They do not have set prices for the services they offer. it all depends on the day and how they feel that day. Oil change is a basic service and the cost should not go up and down like the stock market. For the same car I have 9 invoices to prove this. they have charged me 9 different prices from $8 more to $17 more for the same service every time. As long as Shawn is running this place with his (gas station attitude) and overcharging people I am not going back NOT EVEN FOR GAS. read more

Came here for a last minute smog for my mom's car and it didn't take a long time. The man who I talked to was very nice, and very straightforward. I would definitely come back here for my smog tests. Very professional people. read more

Very unwilling to help. Poor customer service I've ever received from any gas station. We are from out of town heading home. Found a nail in our tire which was the reason why we needed to get air in tire, planning on fixing it when we get home. Air pump had a note indicating cost for using would be $.50, but free for anyone pumping gas. (Minor issue) Put money in machine, didn't work. Went in to speak with some one and immediately was told they had nothing to do with pump, to speak with cashier. Spoke with cashier and told her problem, she said it would be $.75. Said note indicated $.50 and we had already put money in. Gave us code to start pump, and then mentioned to her there was a sate law that required gas stations in California to provide service, free of charge. She was rude and said, "I gave you the code, what else do you want". We weren't mad, just mentioned it and then she said rudely again, "do you want to speak with the manager." It was never supposed to be a big deal, but never offered to give us our money back or even apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We proceeded to try pumping air in tire, but because of how the valve was we struggled. We asked the mechanic, since he was already dirty, if he could please help us out and try pumping the tire for us. He was out right rude and said, he doesn't do trucks and if we were having struggles, so would he. He never bothered to try and see if he could help. We finally got air pumped, with no thanks to anyone at this gas station. They have poor customer service and very rude. Being our first time there, it WILL be our last. read more

Professional and knowledgeable mechanics and management that cares makes this repair shop worthy of repeat business.

Review for 76 Service Station: Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Larry and Shawn who kindly answered by price inquires. I checked at O' Reilly's to see if I could save some money by bringing in my own oil/filter. Turns out 76's service station would provide me with (Mobil 1) full synthetic oil and a filter for a cheaper price. How convenient! They meticulously checked my tires and engine for leaks, while being efficient with my service. Shawn and Larry work with professionalism and represent this business with integrity. Overall, I am happy to support this local business and will return. Thanks for reading. read more

I called in to ask why I was over charged at a pump. After being hung up on a male clerk seemed scared to answer. Finally while I explained that I had made a purchase and was over charged. I was quickly introduced to a Psycho Named "Shawn". Apparent Manager. A complete asshole who doesn't know the meaning " Customer Service". Arguing that the store doesn't refund money, call the number on the pump, "It has nothing to do with us". In a manner over the phone as if he wanted to fight me in person!! Stay away from this location!! poor customer service, and a Disrespectful Manager with little or no regards to helping everyday clients who depend on quality service. You won't find that here!! read more

i come here all the time to get gas and fill up air in my tire, the attendant is always kind while purchasing, and ive even had some of the autotechs offer to help me put air in my tire! All of there employees seem really great and i always feel welcomed. Best 76 around read more

Came here to get brake service for my car and I don't regret. Quick and easy service the staff is very friendly I will definitely come back to these guys. read more

Do not get your car serviced at this station. The service manager is named John "I'm an asshole" Vidal. Went in for a simple oil change. All of a sudden he says you can't leave because the car will not start. You will have to pay $300 for labor and to get it fixed. After a couple of hours he finally says the car is ok. Asshole was trying to get money by scamming customers. read more

We here for a smog and brought in a coupon that I had found online. Larry was super nice and took care of me.

Worst place ever! Customer service is nonexistent here! I was approached by service man John. I told him I have a noise in my front left tire and they told me I needed shocks on front of car. My car is still making the same sound after the shocks replacement. I finally take car to Honda dealership and they tell me I only needed front brake pads!! I agree with other post, this place is a rip off!! John never looked at car! I was told to wait and a few moments later he told me I needed shocks. Honda dealer replaced brakes and sound was gone immediately. These people are pure crooks! Stay away from here. Scam Shop!!! read more
