Small shop with huge impact. Great overall experience from beginning to end. Moses is a real one - easy explanation and process. His attitude and humor are a bonus too.

In and out within 20min. $65 smog check. The owner is kind, professional, and very efficient. Had all the forms and certificates ready to go. Has a clean waiting area inside too read more

I drove up and Moses was there immediately to help me. He was helpful, professional, and got me in and out of there within 15-20 minutes. Had all the forms ready, and told me that there are DMV kiosks in supermarkets now that I could pay and get my new sticker at without having to wait if I wanted. Would definitely recommend, and I would go back. For my car, it was $65. read more

I have now taken two cars here for a smog check and both times had great service. He's very efficient and gets you in and out of there before you know it. Highly recommend supporting this shop. read more

Smogged my BMW 4 series here. Good service. Quick, easy and affordable, would recommend. Nice guy read more

Quick and on point. Process takes 10 minutes, they send your results directly to DMV, and u wait for the registration. Simple as that

First time coming here, took my '14 BMW which only took around 10-15 minutes! I called beforehand and it was $60 for my service. I'm not sure if price varies depending on the vehicle. Super friendly guy, afterwards he organized all my paperwork in a neat and orderly fashion. He has a small waiting area with books and magazines. Definitely will be coming here again in the future! read more

A quick and very reasonably priced smog check. I called to see if they took walk ins during my lunch time and the guy said he did and it was done within 30 minutes! read more

Came to get a smog service on my 2005 accessible van. Moses was there to greet us as we drove up and walked us through the entire process. The building did have a small lip (1-2 inches at most) that I had to wheelie over but it wasn't very difficult and we didn't have to go inside, I just wanted to wait for my car there. The space we waited in was nice and lit up (didn't feel uncomfortable like you can sometimes in a dark closed off shop that smells like oil) and Moses was friendly with my fiance and I while we waited. I would definitely recommend this shop if you're looking for a star certified smog shop. Cost for a 2000 or newer vehicle was $65, 1999 and older was $80, and all heavy duty vehicles were $95. Definitely go check him out. read more

Called ahead and was told to come in! Met Moses who immediately got to work! Stated around ~30 minutes and $60. Took less time than that and my car passed. He prefers cash but will take card. Easy and efficient, 10/10 would recommend. read more

Quick. Nice guy. Easy to get to. I've been coming here for years. Place looks like an old gas station.

Called 20 mins before, took my car in immediately when I arrived, was done within 15 minutes, was $60. Good guy, good service for a smog check. read more

A man of integrity. Brought my son's car in for state registration-- advised him that we had to jump start it. After a quick under dash telemetry he told us it would fail without a new battery-- but we would also need to replace it and drive at least 50 miles at highway speeds to reset. No charge. Brought it back a few hours later with 54 miles on the new battery-- passed. Extremely thorough. We got everything done at DMV same day! Make him your #1 pick. read more

Quick and easy smog check. Went around 10:30am on a Friday. $50 in and out within 15 mins. Would highly recommend! He asked before I left if everything was okay. I was shopping around and some places charge up to $100 for smog check. No need here! Highly recommend. Cash or credit read more

This is the most efficient smog shop ever. The owner/operator makes getting your test done a breeze.

Moses is super friendly and did a quick and thorough job with the paperwork. It took barely 10 minutes for a smog check and he charged $40 and took credit card. A smog check is usually $50 here, but he gave me a first-timer discount. Highly recommended for fast and friendly service! read more

I came here for my smog check because I called a few places and this one was a little cheaper. It's a small one man operation, but was quick and efficient. There is a small library of books and magazines in case you do have to wait. I recommend coming here for your smog checks. read more

I've always wondered if a 5 rated yelp establishments with 60+ review have their ratings inflated. Today, I can confirm at the best that Alhambra Smog Center is not. Here's another 5 star rating to you Moses. I got in 10 minutes late past my appointment time at a small shop. I did not know to bring my registration form, which Moses was able to work around with just my driver's license. Moses was very friendly and the whole process took 15 minutes times or less. You'll have my smog service for the next couple years, Moses. Cheers. read more

I didn't have to wait long. Great service. Very covid conscious! He had hand sanitizer and wipes available after working on my car. Efficient! Will go there again in 2 years when it's due again! read more

I recently needed to transfer a title for a passenger car which automatically calls for a smog certification. Alhambra Smog Center is just down the street from where I live and made several visits due to needing to troubleshoot codes until they were all cleared. The owner of the smog center was kind and courteous each time I visited. I highly recommend Alhambra Smog Center if you are nearby and in need of smogging your vehicle. The pricing and service are top-notch. read more

Smog Check is quick and easy for most cars. This has been here for years. Small smog center. Reasonable rates and usually not much waiting. Additionally, I have recently rented UHAUL trucks from the same guy. Pretty receptive and nice guy. Suggests eating next door if hungry, where to park not to get a ticket, what to look for next time. Simply, always a great experience here. read more

Quick, easy, fair price. The gentleman that helped me out was very friendly and knowledgeable. I'll bring my car here every time.

Good service. Good price. This is my second time coming here. Friendly and honest service. Yes, I would recommend.

The owner is a kind person and gives great advice on what to do when the car fails its test (like mine did). It's not a sleek or hip place (its a smog test center) its clean, quiet and reliable. Assuming there is only one person ahead of you (I usually call ahead to find out) it will be about 20 minutes of your time. The owner is super efficient. read more

Moses provided fast and friendly service. It was very convenient and it could not have been any easier.

Quality service for your smog needs. I've been a customer for years and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. The owner is a solid and honest guy. read more

Great customer service and a great sense of humor. I left with a big smile. Thanks for making me laugh. You really made my day.

Came in for a quick smog inspection and was met with amazing service. Moses knows how to welcome you in and gets the job done, fast. This is a privately owned smog check station that is partnered with BAR. It is STAR certified and a test only center so they perform smog checks but are not authorized to diagnose or perform repairs. You'll see the plaque on the outside of the shop. Prices are market driven so you should always shop around but I can guarantee that you'll be satisfied after visiting this center. read more

Moses, the owner, is skilled at his work and a great all around guy. I was in and out within 15-20 minutes on a Saturday. It's a simple shop, specialized in one thing, smog checks. They get the job done and they get the job done right. Cost me $55. Also side note, they are now closing at 1pm on Saturdays now. read more
