Auto Chek Centers

This is my second time coming here.
Ubber convenient, and fast! I was there maaaaaaybe 15 minutes, but only cause there was 3 cars ahead of me. Chick at the front was super friendly, patient, and explains what they can do to accommodate you clearly.
This is my go-​to place for yearly registration + smog.
Price to get your registration done there (& a walk out w/​tags in hand) minus the hassle of snail mail or DMV = $ 19.95, but if you pay with your Debit Card you get $ 5 off… not to mention the 20% discount you can get on top of that for Checking in thru Unilocal.
What would have cost me $ 180… Came down to $ 165 = an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up!

Need to get your tags? Need a smog check? Want to avoid the DMV? These centers are the place! Pay for your smog and get your tags right then and there…$ 19.99 fee to get your tags, but that’s worth it to me. No grumpy faces at the DMV to deal with, no long lines. No stuffy environment.

Fast and friendly service! Stopped by yesterday after work and I was done in about 5 minutes! They have a Unilocal yeal when you check in. Saves you $ 10.

This place is great! Tech told me 10 minutes and I was out of there within 7 minutes. Added bonus the $ 10 discount with my Unilocal coupon!!!

I have taken all of my families vehicles to this location. This most recent trip was the most easy trip I’ve had here. I drove up to the technician he wrote my ticket up and I went inside within 10 mins my truck was done. I spent 15 minutes total at this facility and was done. Top notch service. This place is highly recommended.

no wait time. in and out. good location near food and big lots if there’s a cue.

Wife told me to come in. She was right. The smog at this location was very Quick and easy. 20% Unilocal saving. Great deal. Very friendly staff.

This place took literally 10 min cannot believe it and great low price! Awesome customer service. If you check in you will get 20% off or 5 dollars off of you have AAA. Will definitely come back in the future.

Incredibly quick, took about 5 minutes, possibly because my car is pretty new — this may have been the first time we needed the smog check. Had a $ 10 off coupon, in and out in a breeze.

In and out in less than 10 minutes and were able to answer all my questions, would definitely recommend.

In and out in 10 minutes. Bring in a competitors coupon and they will honor it. They get the five stars for the discount!

this place was really good. i liked the free drink and also the reviews that mention coupons are awesome. just google «santa ana smog coupon» and they will match up to 20 bucks off. print it and be prepared for good, fast service. great place. will be back next time for sure.

These guys got me in and out in less than 10 minutes, and at a price that didn’t break the bank. Know my only question is 1. Why I waited so long, and 2. Why didn’t come here in the first place? Third times a charm!

All I can say is they were super friendly extremely quick and way affordable! I was able to get this done before I got to work! I will always come here from now on!!!

First I’ll give it to them, from the time I pulled up it took less then 10 minutes to smog my car. They literally plugged something in my car, and BOOM! So fast I didn’t even get to grab a free drink. haha! The lame part was I paid like 48 dollars and I had a coupon! Since they match, next time I’ll be sure to bring in one that is little cheaper! Nice part is the info gets sent to the DMV so you don’t have to worry about it. Also, the lobby is TIIIINY with one chair, haha I can’t imagine being there on a crowded day.

Very fast service — there were no other cars there when I pulled up on a Saturday afternoon. No appointment needed. I mentioned the Unilocal coupon and they gave me the discount without having to check in ( Unilocal ad says 20% discount but it’s less, it’s actually $ 10 off). The technician that checked my car had zero personality and was not the friendliest person. The cashier was nice and helpful. Very small waiting room with just one folding chair. Thankfully I was only there for less than 10 minutes. They offer free soda while you wait.

Very fast service… in and outin 10 minutes. $ 49.95 for a 1996 or newer vehicle plus $ 8.25 for the certificate, less my 20% off coupon for my Unilocal check-​in. Plus free soda! Total was $ 48.20 out the door. I would highly recommend this smog test center to others.

Extremely quick. Pleasant employees. Been going here since I was 16. Always great service and they accept competitors coupons (although I used the 20% off for checking in on Unilocal).

I will always come back to this place. Here’s why:
1) Fast service — I was in and out with my certificate in under 15 minutes!
2) They match coupons for any other smog place up to $ 20. so I spent $ 38.00 total!
3) Free sodas in the lobby while you wait.

The other day I noticed I forgot to get my registration tags for my car. I went searching for my DMV license registration sheet. As I was looking it over, I read the top… SMOG CHECK!
Saturday evening I look online for a Smog Check place open on a Sunday. Low and behold I found a place open 7 days a week. Sunday afternoon, I get off work and head over to the place. I get there an hour before the closing time… and it’s closed!
I go to Unilocal!to see where another Smog Check place is, and Auto Check Centers was the closest place. Even though I knew they were closed, I went to go check it out to see where it was located.
Because of work, I knew I wouldn’t be able to get to do it till until mid-​week. I was off work a bit early so with them closing at 5:30 pm, I quickly rushed over.
With it almost 5:00 pm, I was just hoping it wouldn’t be busy, and it wasn’t. I was the only one there. I pull right on up to the lane as instructed and the gentleman comes over and takes my information. When I get out of the car, I check in on Unilocal!and got a 20% coupon. I read the coupon and it stated that in order to use the 20%, it must be presented at time of estimation. I am like «shoot!», cause I have never used a Unilocal coupon before.
I ask the woman behind the counter about my check-​in and ask if I am still able to use the 20% coupon. She is like «sure!». She goes out into the station and talks to the gentleman who took down my info, comes back and tells me the new price. I also read that they do the California license registration. I was gonna go to AAA to get in done, but if I can do it there, even better. She stated that it would be $ 19.95 (convenience charge I would assume) + Registration fee, but if you use Debit or Cash, one would get $ 5 off. With the 20% off coupon and the $ 5 rebate, it would cancel out the $ 19.95 fee so I decided to just do that.
The smog check was fast, like everyone else has mentioned, it was done within 10 minutes and the staff were very friendly. The waiting area is pretty small. I mean, it’s probably like 25×5, with only one chair. I would have hate for it to be busy and everyone crammed in there like a sardine.
There experience was pretty easy and I was very satisfied.
