Walnut Smog and Repair

Went in with a coupon from July 17 and no posted expiration. Manager would not honor it and no good excuses. he quoted a price of %60, when I showed coupon for $ 29.75, he then offer $ 50. I declined and drive 60 seconds down the street to One Time Auto Repair and got a quote for $ 40 and was done in a few minuted. Great little local show and will visit One time again when I need service.
I hate shops and stores that refuse to honor their coupons and advertise prices. To many fail at this or try to nickle and dime you with add on fees and such.

My wife and I don’t just shop around. We get professional recommendations, shop around, check the internet and then we investigate personally before we spend a dime. It’s hard to keep a classic going sometimes, and my wife’s TowneCar is her glad-​to-​have-​it car. So after going to the shop our mechanic recommend for specific smog repairs, that guy suggested his brother’s shop for the testing. Oh yeah, I was concerned as any good consumer should be, but I laugh now because the treatment we got and continue to get is first rate and worth every penny. Let’s face it… it’s a smog check — I don’t want to be there all day, so we are in and out in no time and if there is a problem when it is not passing, Authur can generally diagnose and let you know why or fix it on the spot. Now it is an every 2 years tradition that you’ll find us there. We are treated like customers and friends, not like were #35. P. S. He does repairs now too, so if you don’t have a regular guy — you should now.

I have been going here for the past 8 years. does an excellent job & very professional. I would not go anywhere else

I am so glad I decided to take my car to Arthur! The place I went to before definitely took advantage of my lack of knowledge about car problems so it was wonderful to find a place that genuinely wants to help. Arthur is so personable, too! I highly recommend their shop!

I went to this place about 2 weeks ago, I usually have a relative of mine do the smog check for me. But this time I decided to give this place a try. I was very satisfied with everything. He explained the things that I needed to know about my cars (I took 2 cars), and fortunately he was very reasonable. I would definitely go back to him next year as well.

Arthur has been doing this for 14 years and I give him 5 stars for getting the job done efficiently (under 15) and professionally. He wanted to make my life easier the minute I pulled in, asking me to go relax while he takes care of everything. He gets the most points for his ethics — we had a price misunderstanding on the phone, and even though I didn’t ask, he did not hesitate to give me a discount to apologize for the cross-​fire. Regular smog price is the standard $ 55 btw. I give him the thumbs up.

Fantastic Place… I found them on Unilocal! they even took a competitor coupon and extended that discount! I was in and out the door in 20 minutes for a grand total of $ 40.00. I highly recommend this place.

I was driving around Walnut avenue and just decided to try this place. I was charged $ 50 for the smog check + the customary $ 8 for the certificate. While standing in the repair bay i looked across the street and saw another business with a banner stating $ 29.95. When I asked the mechanic why that one was that price he told he that they also own the muffler shop and send business over there. He also said «Why don’t you go over there and ask them; I’ve been here 14 years…» I later called back and asked for a quote for another vehicle, this time I was given a price of $ 45, without even seeing the car. Finally when I asked if anything extra was done to my car that warranted the $ 50 fee I was told «i have been here 14 years, all places have different rents», not a concise answer. I hope the extra $ 15-​$ 20 they got out of me will carry them far. My fault for not shopping around. Never again will I go there nor will I send my friends there.

I found this place on Unilocal,and read the reviews! Its no wonder they have 5 stars! Its quick, easy, and the service was professional. If I ever need a smog check again, I will definitely be back!

I’ve been going to this station for the past 10 years. I’m never disappointed. The service is excellent and they take care of their customers. I highly recommend seeing these guys when you need a smog check.

I’ve been taking my cars here for a number of years. You get great service at a very competitive price. You can tell the owner knows very well exactly what he is doing. You can’t go wrong!
