The last place I used recently closed, so I had to find another provider. Based on other reviews here, I decided to give Andy's a try - and I'm pleased to say that all the other positive reviews were correct! Friendly, capable, efficient, thorough, fair, quick. I arrived unannounced, was seen within minutes, and on my way soon after. They will put you at ease. Bilingual too! Highly recommended read more

This guy wanted to charge me 100 for an old vehicle and told me that any other smog's won't charge less, i called the one in Lincoln and Downtown and they were charging 70-80.... This guy is a liar but anyways don't come here if you have an older vehicle unless you wanna pay $100. read more

Andy was great!! I overlooked the registration renewal date and also the fact that I needed a STAR smog check on the car before gifting it to my father so I was definitely in a time crunch. Andy was thorough and efficient and had a great price! Explained the process and duration prior to servicing -- great communication. Will definitely recommend and return for future servicing. read more

This is an official DMV approved Star Smog Check station. It's hard to find these places open on a Sunday so this was a lifesaver. Fast, easy, friendly service. Smog check is $60, cash only. Thanks Andy! read more

Conveniently located in an alleyway behind the Autozone, I came here to get a Smog Check, by the time I came back from the ATM (they only accept cash, $60), they were already pretty much done. It only took about 15 minutes. It was quick, efficient and easy! I highly recommend it to anyone who lives around the area or is a short drive away. I'll definitely be coming back here the next time I need a smog check. read more

Needed a quick and easy Smog Check for DMV purposes. Found Andy's Smog Check on yelp and decided to give it a try. **Pats myself on the shoulder** "Good Find Sherry, Good Find" They took me in, even when they were about to close at 6pm. After about 10 minutes, I got my certification that my car cleared, confirmed that the info got transferred to DMV, paid $60 and off i went. NICE! Super friendly service & quick. Two thumbs up! Side note: This spot is kinda hard to find if your driving down Indiana. It's off an ally way on Indiana. Keep your eyes open for a blue garage! @_@ read more

The gentleman on the phone said the transmission fluid is for life unless I'm towing or carrying heavy loads. When I questioned why I see that it's recommended online he says that dealers will recommend this service all day but if you check the Toyota maintenance manual it says you don't need it. Man! I haven't even been to this shop yet and I'm already getting a good feeling about this place. It's a bit more expensive for an oil change than other places that have quoted me, but I like that they use factory parts including Toyota oil filters. I'll update this review once I get the car in for my first visit. Stay tuned.... 6/29/26 - Brought my Sienna in for an oil change + complimentary 30-point inspection (since it was my first time there). Jared took the van for a spin, brought it back and lifted it up. They found a little oil seepage coming out of the transfer case. I let them know that I did see a transfer case drain/fill on the CarFax report before I bought it. Jared thinks they just didn't torque it properly so they were going to retorque and clean up around the area and keep an eye on it. Worst case scenario, they would need to order a new drain plug gasket and I'd have to come back to get it replaced. Thankfully, the drain plug just needed to get tightened. I was in and out in almost exactly an hour just as Robert promised. Thanks The Toy Shop team!! Pro Tip: they are booked out at least a week in advanced so make your appointment ASAP!

Then I spoke with Mike, and he was beyond accommodating. He took me in the same day, handled my oil change efficiently, and made the entire experience stress-free. What really stood out was that Mike didn't just do the oil change and send me on my way. He took the time to walk me through a game plan for my next service and explained what should be addressed moving forward to make sure nothing negatively impacts my engine. That level of care and transparency is rare. On top of that, he filled my tires because they were low--completely on his own, without me even asking. It's the little things like that that show how much he truly cares about his customers. And he even gave me a discount on the price because I was a first time customer. If you need anything for your car, go to Mike. He and his team are professional, honest, and genuinely the best. I've found my go-to shop and won't be going anywhere else. Thank you Speedway.
