Fast friendly service. In n out less than 30 minutes. $40 out the door with coupon.

Came in for a smog check on my '04 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V and left satisfied. Had to wait a few minutes for him to get to me since he was testing a car at the moment. Meanwhile I filled out the required paperwork. Within a few minutes he was ready to test my car. The test itself took less than 10 minutes and didn't feel long at all. Car passed no issues. He explained to me that the SMOG cert would be electronically transmitted to the DMV and that if I needed additional printouts should I lose mine, that I could come back and have another copy printed whenever I needed. Very quality service in a timely manner. The price of the test with certificate was $43 out the door since I paid cash. I would recommend this location to anyone who needs a SMOG test done quick. read more

in & out in under 10 minutes. gentleman in the front was very professional and also makes you feel like a friend.

Really amazing service! Had to go in for my 2003 Tahoe and it was $50 out the door :) super friendly and super fast! Definitely recommend and will be going back for my other vehicles in the future! read more

Came here with my senior mothers suv after it failed testing at another place. The first place we went to explained that because she just replaced her battery and starter, she needs to drive the car more for it to register and pass smog correctly. They couldn't tell us how much so she was worried and drove it about 900mi - more than she drives in a year! When it came to try to pass smog again, we came here and they were very helpful and explained we only needed to drive it about 50miles. Needless to say she passed smog and we learned something new while here - theses folks actually want to help versus other places that think answers like "I don't know" are acceptable. read more

I can't believe my car is over five years old already. Time sure flies! I guess I'll be doing periodic smog checks for the remainder of my cars life. Good news is that I like A-1 Stop Smog. I'll be bringing my car and other cars here for future checks. It only cost me $40 for the service and certification. A little more for older cars. Pretty sweet deal, I think...it's been a long time since I actually had to do a smog check. The guy who performed the service and the paper work was fast and cool too. Definitely coming back when the DMV wants me to check my car again. Plus, if your check fails, you can bring it back withing 30 days to have a FREE re-check service. Of course, you still have to pay for the certificate separately which I believe was $8.25. read more

A 1 Stop Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Antioch, California

See all

Vincent was the Inspector who helped me with my vehicle. He was busy with 3 people in front of me right after he came back from lunch. He was really quick. We 3 people in front if me I got out within 45mins. Also, he was nice to me. He gave me a chair to sit on while I was outside chatting on the phone. Prices are reasonable. I will be going back there in the future. Thanks Vincent for the kindness. In a hostel world we live in I appreciated the small gesture. Plus you were playing awesome beats in your garage. Aye.. read more

Attempted a smog 3 times on 3 different days. Wont be coming back despite the cheap price

I've been coming to A-1 Stop Smog Center (Antioch) for almost 10 yrs and I've never had an issue with passing the smog test. But lately, I brought in my vehicle equipped with a supercharger. It seems like the main technician in the shop does not know where to look whether the supercharger is CA legal. I showed him the Executive Order certificate D-705. All he had to do was to check Ca.gov under Air Resource Board database and type to in the number. Of course, he failed to do that or does not know where to look. He turned me away and wasted my half a day because of his lack of knowledge on this issue. If you folks own a car equipped with special performance ( Ca legal), you might want to go to a different smog knowledgeable of this matter like (FireHouse Smog Center on Lone Tree. They know their stuff ). I'm glad that there's some technicians out there who knows what they're doing. read more

Friendly, efficient and was happy to go over my paperwork (purchased vehicle out of state). Would definitely recommend.

Tech is inexperienced and look like he wants to fail every people. Even though my car is a newer car and never had any problem since I bought it brand new, he still ask unrelated question about my car in the middle of a smog check. "What is your engine type?" and came back a bit later "Have you had any issues or repairs on your car?" What the fuck it got to do with a smog check dude. It seems like he wants to get a reason to fail me read more

My year 2000 CRV passed in 15 minutes with flying colors, and I got some valuable pointers on the use of injector cleaning liquids. A+! Only 40.00 for certificate and DMV! read more

This is a great location to get your smog test done! The process was super easy and fast. I was there an hour before closing and it was only me. I guess this place is a hidden gem. Great service and was super friendly and patient. Very cool. also super affordable with their $40 coupon. read more

I highly recommend this place very courteous and friendly and keeps you informed so next time you need to smog this is a Great place to go

I just had my smog check done and everything was great. Super fast service and the gentleman who helped me was very friendly and got everything done in such a timely manner. 5/5 would definitely recommend! read more

It was a clean waiting area, but cramped. The man performing the smog checks is nice and friendly. I was out fairly quickly although I had a couple people waiting ahead of me. I appreciated the a/c on this 92 degree day, as well. Used a coupon from the mail and got $5 off! He offers $2 off additional if you pay with cash. read more

Have been going here for years and can't recommend them enough! Fast service, friendly techs, pricing seems reasonable, and as long as CA makes us smog vehicles, mine will be going here! read more

I needed a smog for a title transfer. I failed the first time but the gentleman who ran my test explained to me why I failed and how I could fix it in words I could actually understand, haha. The guys who work here are very nice! Just get here early because they get busy fast! read more

The inspector failed my car for one time visual inspection for one small bent in the hose with out using any mirror to inspect all around the angle of the hose, just using his eyes inspection, he did not even bother to test it in the machine but he charged in full for failed visual inspection and wants me to come back for the second test for another charges. My v6 2003 Altima is current on tune up, oil change & maintenance due to a friend mechanic had been conditioning my car, my car is not in a bad condition, from the engine, inside and out. I took it the same day to another smog test, he inspected the hose with his mirror around in all angle, no puncture, tear, crack, hole for a vapor to escape except it has a small bent. The inspector used all the State required procedures said my car by the State is qualified to pass the smog test. A-1 inspector in 1810 Verne Roberts Circle Antioch CA did not even use the State required mirro to inspect around the angle of the hose and he failed the smog test for a small bend in the hose and asking me to come back for the second test for another charges. read more

Very pour customer service, attendant has lousy attitude , I would give a 1/4 star if this rating would allow it.

Smog tests on my truck have always been a challenge. This time was no exception. I went in and the technician who performed the test was such a jerk. He noticed something had been pulled off and instead of putting it back on he told me that was why he couldn't smog it. I asked him what it was supposed to look like (was it just put in or clamped) and he was so evasive. I went to an auto store and they helped me with it. I went back and the machine was down. I went back again and was harassed about the $10 fee, which had been crossed off by the first guy, but the owner was there and he made such a big deal about not charging me I get he was trying to intimidate me. I was in no mood to back down or be intimidated. I was glad it passed so I wouldn't have to go back there ever again. read more

Need to teach your tech what a stock diesel exhaust looks like. Tech made inferences that the exhaust had been modified. I attempted to show the tech all parts of the exhaust from the factory. I Was a customer for the last 10 years. If your looking for diesel smog look someplace else. read more

I've been going to A-1 to have my cars smogged for several years. I've been happy with their work and service. The reason I deducted a star is I went early Monday morning so I could be one of the first in line because there's usually a wait. I arrived at 8:15 because the hours posted are 8:30 -5:00. At 9:00am there was still no one there to open up the shop. . I decided to go to Costco to get gas, then came back and the owner was just getting there at 9:15. When I complained about the wait, instead of apologizing he said, "who are you, my boss?" I thought that was pretty rude for a business owner to say to a repeat customer like myself, considering there are quite a few other smog service centers I go to. Not a great way to promote business. I went ahead and had him do the smog because I didn't want to go somewhere else and wait again, but I was pretty irritated. read more

Wish I could give more stars came here after being treated like crap at another smog shop it was late almost time for him to close but the gentleman was very nice he was busy and had a few cars to do but said if I didn't mind waiting he would do my smog I said that would be fine I was just happy he was taking the time to see me I didn't wait long he was very efficient doing everything by himself sorry I didn't get his name I was just so impressed with his work ethic ! I will definitely be back with my other car's that are coming due for smog's read more

Great service. The guy at the front desk was friendly and allowed me to do a Costco run instead of waiting at the shop. My car was ready as soon as I got back. Prices here are very good. Would come back again! read more

Did a Yelp search after spending way too long at the DMV for a close and reliable smog shop. I called in to A 1 first and was told there was one car in line. By the time I arrived, the gentleman had the paperwork ready to go and was ready to pull my car in. He was super speedy and helpful, making this such an easy experience. The office was clean (and nice and cool on a hot day). Cold water was available as well as chocolates for the customers. Would highly recommend! read more

Really fast and nice service and reasonable priced 38.00 for my scion tc! I will return again.

Very friendly and is a great deal to boot! DMV wants smog for my 2006 Chevy Express 3500 van and it only costs me $40!

Today was my first time going to this smog check center. The place was very nice and clean, service was super fast, and the tech I spoke to was reallt nice and friendly. This will be the place to get my cars smog from now on. read more

Oh my goodness, Alfredo provided perfect customer service! These guys really take great care of their customers. He was fast, efficient and so friendly. You can tell that he works very hard to do a stellar job. I'm so happy this place is near me home and work-- definitely give this smog check station your business! You won't regret it! read more

Nice guy. Nice price since it's off the main drag. He informed people of things that were wrong, and just sent them on their way without charging them for check engine light details, etc. I found him on Yelp because it was nice to save $10 from the place right around the corner and it was worth the quick trip. Be careful not to miss the driveway. We drove around the back of the building, no biggie. read more

This place has great a.c. and fast service. The tech even gave me some tips to keep my car running in good condition. I highly recommend brining your car here. Prices are also very affordable. read more

I am absolutely satisfied with A-1 smog and their crew. Service was fast and the team members are all super nice. Alfredo was super helpful and let me know my Honda was not ready to pass smog and recommend me run the car. After running it more than 100 miles I came in again and he told me to come with him to take a look at their machine and prove that the catalyst was finally ready. Alfredo was honest and did everything to go out of his way to help me when my battery died outside the shop. Thanks again!! I will be doing business with A-1 again. read more

Came in for a smog for my 1999 Honda Crv. Only customer there at 9:00am on a Thursday. Smog check took about an hour due to computers needing recalibration which happen on Mondays and Thursdays the technician said. Then he had to replace a couple of tanks on the testing machine. Once he was done with that the actual smog test only took about 20 minutes. Technician was knowledgeable friendly and explained the results well. Waiting area is small but does have 4 chairs for customers and offered donuts and coffee while we waited. Clean looking shop and office. Plenty of parking outside. Shop accepts cash or card but does offer a $2.00 discount if paying by cash. read more

Fair price, professional and friendly, air conditioned waiting room, not too long of a wait. All in all, a very good experience. Will definitely return as DMV requires it. read more

I am satisfied with the smog check today. In and out in 20mins or less. Would recommend to my friends.

I went there by morning, and I had my smog check done by 10 minutes. Customer service is good, and I felt it was just a breeze going here. Definitely going back, and recommend my friends about this smog check station. read more
