Asb Smog Check

Went looking for a smog station and came across this hidden gem on Umbarger rd.
I had called around to a few places but they ended up being cheaper here. The guys there are really cool and very helpful. Had two cars ahead of me and still only took no more than maybe 30min. Definitely a place I will be reccommending to others! I will be heading back next week for my oil change!

I’m writing this review immediately after I had my car smogged. The service provided by this Mom and Pops shop is A++. Richard took my appointment over the phone and reserved a spot for me before I arrived. I got there 15 minutes before my appointed time and he took my car in right away. Smogged, passed and I was on my way in under 15 minutes. Before I left Richard made sure I was happy with the services provided. Thanks for the smog!

I’ve been here a few times. Despite what the other reviews say, mine is the opposite.
The guy never has a smile on his face, he is not personable, and he has a cold unapproachable vibe.
One time I came here with a car that was not passing state ref, so I wanted to get a pretest, and as soon as he saw my state ref paperwork, he just blatantly told me «no, no no, cant do, i cant help you».
Then just recently I go here and his machine is apparently down and he did the same thing, being a straight DICK about it. So to say he is nice, he is not.
There are so many places around that smog, ones with more friendly even though you aren’t Vietnamese and/​or female (see previous posters on the good reviews), perhaps if I fit either of those criteria I would’ve had a more pleasant experience.

Great service. 20 minutes only. Price was very reasonable.

My family and I ONLY go to this establishment to get our cars smog checked. Like the previous Unilocaler had mentioned, it is a one man show and you wonder how much hard work he puts into his business. He does EVERYTHING himself! He must get so lonely throughout the time he spends (other than interaction with customers of course) at this shop 7 days a week, yes people! They’re open 7 days a week!
The owner, Brian is really friendly and always has a smile on his face. He’s very personable and always takes the time to explain to his customers why their car didn’t pass smog and so on and so forth. The price is really affordable for the quality of the work and the excellent customer service you receive here at ASB Smog Check. I try to come on the weekdays because they’re busy on the weekends, but the wait is never too long, he tries to accommodate everyone as best he can. It is really rare to find such a nice mechanic/​smog check technician these days, but I’m glad I found this place! It’s a bit out of my way but I come here every two years when I need to get my DMV papers done. If he notices that you need anything else done on your car, he’ll refer you to a place that will provide great service for a great price to fit your budget!
I recommend this place to all my friends and family! It’s really a terrific find!

Went to the one down the street from my house n they wanted to charge me 65. While the long wait for the smog tech to come in. I took out my iPhone and found this place on Unilocal.Told the people I gotta go since they were taking forever. Hop in my car a short drive (3 mins) and got here. The man did his thing and it was only 50 bucks! Fast & cheap!

This place was a one-​man show when I was there on Thursday afternoon. A smog check costs $ 41.75 and the certificate is $ 8.25, so you’re in and out in about 35 minutes for an even $ 50. The waiting area is very bare bones with about 5 chairs, a water dispenser, a few magazines and a desk with a computer for billing and payment.
I was impressed with the man’s professionalism and honesty and really appreciated the time he took to talk to me about my car. He said if it were up to him, he’d buy a Honda or Toyota because they’re the most reliable and the cheapest to repair.
In the end, my car didn’t pass the smog test but he didn’t just come out and say, «YOUR CAR DIDN’T PASS!» He sort of eased into it and let me know in the nicest way possible; I only cried after my dad started screaming at me on the phone asking why I went to get my smog done at 3PM instead of 9AM. The man said that I could get it repaired and then come back for a free smog, which is bonus points in my book. :)
