Quick service and priced well! The staff was friendly answered my questions. I'll be bringing all my cars here for smog.

3 years later... I've taken my mother's, my brother's and my own car here several times and they have always welcomed me right in. One of my cars failed smog and the worker advised me on how to clear the errors and to return back the same day or next to pass the smog without being charged for the full service again. Currently here again with my mother's car and once again they welcomed us right in and the worker began work immediately. I can see he's wrapping up which means we were in and out of here in about 20 minutes total. I still highly recommend this place for the service, the speed, and the value! read more

***IF YOU LOVE to be cut off, SCREAMED AT, and F-Bombs yelled in your face from the business you are paying to support- look no further! Wife took our vehicle in for inspection, they passed the functional test and OBD II scan and visual inspection. However, they failed the vehicle because it has a K&N cold air intake, it needed a carb sticker on it with the EO, aka executive order number specific to that vehicle and part that makes it carb compliant. My wife said she would text me for it, and the worker guy immediately rushed her out of their garage and told her to back out, and was very rude to her and discourteous as she had our 3 small children with her. They charged her full price and sent her away. So, other places that are smog Certified in this state will actually take the time to simply look up the part number and EO number and pass the vehicle. This place didn't waste a second and simply told her "I need to get paid and do my job" total time invested was 6 minutes at this place $55... yeah. Complete waste of money. So I went back there with a printed EO number off of the governing body's website, to pass the part and explained I contacted the manufacturer and a sticker is coming in the mail, but I'm familiar with the outlines of the law and paperwork on hand is sufficient. I explained it already passed a dmv physical inspection as it was an out of state transfer title and it also already previously passed smog 22 months ago "as is" without the sticker. The employee said he was going to pass it without the sticker, but he said he won't now because I yelled (which yes, I definitely yelled back at him after he cut me off speaking 3 times in a row and...because well, anyone would have yelled back at that highly inappropriate scenario I'm quite sure- lol, being called f bombs and told I'm a liar to name a few) so he handed me a card to call his "boss" and I kindly thanked him for his incredible bias in deciding to pass my smog check or not, and gladly walked my butt out the door. Never to return. **I will make sure to write a BB report, and let others know this is not by any means a friendly business and is a major money grab. read more

A1 Smog - Car and smog area - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Livermore, California

Jon and his team are truly exemplary. I'm an already committed customer - but today I got a reminder as to why. With only hours before launching off for a road trip to Ashland OR, I realized that I couldn't drop my spare tire. It was stuck. A bit frantic I called Jon, and he urged me to come by soon (and cautiously). His ace team managed to free the spare tire and made sure I was all set up to hit the highway safely. I can't thank the team at A1 smog enough. Quality, integrity, and kindness. Thank you very much, A1. You truly deserve your shop name! read more
