I'm a repeat customer. I was losing power when I tried to accelerate on the gas. I didn't know what was happening. I called Ernie to schedule an appointment to have him diagnose the problem. It turned out to be that my intake air valve was cracked. I needed my spark plugs (bought that on my own) replaced too since my car had over 100,000 miles, plus my air filter was filthy because I didn't change it during the summer. Intake air valve $43, air filter $30, labor to replace parts needed $157, quoted at $230, plus taxes. Dropped my car off at 9:30 am, it was ready by 3 pm. I'm a happy customer. read more

Always on point, great customer service with a quick turnaround and reasonable rates.

I am so thankful for your service I only had $50 dollars and you kept your promise to do it for the $50.00 everyone else wanted $72.00 thank so much now if the government will just feed us poor people on food stamps our life would be a little better knowing that we were not starving to death read more

If you want quality workmanship, exceptional value, fair and honest prices then Minute Smog & Auto Repair is the place to bring your car or truck. I found Auto Smog's location by needing a smog and after speaking with the owner Ernie, I decided to try out his automotive services and I could not be happier that I did. Auto Smog is now my preferred mechanic of choice so this review is one of those long overdue reviews as I have been coming to Auto Smog for a while now and have been letting all my friends and family know about Ernie's shop by word of mouth. Today, Dec. 1st 2025 I decided to share what great services and experiences I have had with Auto Smog thus far. Give them a try and I guarantee you wont regret it! read more

I don't normally write reviews but after my visit to Minute Smog & Auto Repair today I felt that I had no choice!! Both Ernie and Mario were very professional, respectful and FAST!! I found them on Yelp, asked two questions through the app and received an immediate response both times. $50 for a smog certificate when using a credit card, very reasonable. I highly recommend and will return if my car ever needs any repairs. Thanks from a senior citizen! read more

Ernie did a great job replacing the lifters and camshaft on my Chevy Silverado engine. The dealership needed over a month to complete the repair. Ernie completed it for me within two weeks. I was so happy with my vehicle and the service I received. He keeps me in the loop and made me feel comfortable with his experience and professionalism. I recommend him to all my friends, family, and colleagues. read more

Highly recommend! I walked in to get a smog check and was able to get the smog completed in less than an hour. The customer service was excellent and I was informed of the approximate wait time for the smog check to be completed. Very reasonably priced as well! read more

Great service. They were fast and friendly. The weather was nice and they had put chairs in front of the store so we could enjoy living in SoCal. read more

Yelp showed this shop charged a flat rate price of $48 for a smog check, but they charged me $60. Be careful and check the price BEFORE you have the work done. read more

THIS IS MY UPDATED REVIEW FOR THE MANAGEMENT: I am happy to say that I was easily able to get ahold of the staff and was quickly helped by the manager. He explained that they had recently gotten some new hirees and they have never had something like this happen at their shop and I believe it due to their many great reviews. The manager was very kind and gave me no issues when issuing me a refund. He gave me no trouble and was very professional in explaining what could have went wrong and offering a solution. My review is for management and how they handle their customers. Thank you again for taking accountability and for working with me. read more

Had issues with my car and from the minute I called them to when it was fixed, they were transparent and honest with me about what needed to get done. Fair price for the service too. I couldn't recommend them more and will continue to see them with my car services in the future. 10/10 service!!! Thanks again! read more

Had my smog check done here recently. Had to get my smog done, and this was my second time coming here. Service is consistent. It's very quick (granted, last time it was only me and one other customer, and this time I was the only customer). They are very efficient so their business lives up to the name. It took around 15ish minutes. They are responsive. Last time, I needed a smog check, I was pinched for time and they were available so I walked in. This time, I reached out to a couple of other businesses for quotes and Minute Smog not only responded quickly, but they were also the most cost-efficient (and again, available to see me right away). Price was $50 out the door, which was also what was quoted to me via Yelp messaging. This includes the certificate. Having used them twice now, I will be a returning customer. read more

Omgoodness! Bernie was so kind and friendly. The service was fast and fair. Both attendants were very nice! We came in for a smog and it was very easy! Thank you. read more

Always taken care of. Great customer service. My whole family comes here. I got my tires done few months ago from here, brand new and great prices. True honest mechanics and I couldn't have asked for a better place thank you for all you do read more

Fast service and very HONEST. I was here for a smog check and asked them to check my brakes, too. Edgar told me that I still had a plenty left on the pads and that I just needed to wash the tires with a brake dust cleaner to stop the squeaking noise. I was lied to at two other places where I was told I needed new brake pads and rotors when I actually didn't, so I was happy to talk to someone who was honest with me and gave me a helpful tip. They do repairs and maintenance work, and their prices seem a lot more reasonable than many other places. It is very hard to find honest mechanics, and I will definitely visit this location again for my next car repair and maintenance. I highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent service. Super friendly and addressed all issues called out by my dealer. Price was less than half of what my dealer quoted me originally. Will come back for sure. read more

Friendly + Prompt customer service at about 11:11 Saturday. Best price from the 3-5 places I called. I called ahead and informed I was on my way. Got me lined up for Star Smog testing right away... they said it's gonna take about 15-20 minutes. Every other place I called quoted about 30-40 minutes upfront. Big screen LED TV tuned to Gourmet cooking show. Bilingual with at least Spanish and English from what I heard. Great experience. Clean wait room with air conditioning ionizing fan plus outside waiting offered. Kids toys if you gotta bring'em along! They prefer cash, zero checks and minimal Credit fee. read more

Customer service is great, oil change service was quick, not as expensive as other places. Will be back!

Very responsive and easy to communicate with through Yelp messaging. They are able to give estimates and quote for the service and honor it in person. I have had my car serviced by them multiple times and recommend them. They are pretty quick with their work so I was able to come in and leave fairly quickly read more

We got there right when they opened at 8am, when i tell you they are fast and amazing!!! THEY ARE!! They helped us immediately and we were in and out in 35 mins. I don't think they do appointments just walk ins but hardly any lines. Our smog was only $65 and they only charge if you pass. Guys were so nice to let us have our animals in the car since we were moving that day. They were gentle and friendly and super helpful. Just letting you guys know there is no restroom! But there is a cute area for the kids to play inside :) Definitely Recommend and will be back. read more

The owners and personnel are awesome!Superb service and the best chicken EVER!!!! Open more of these!

Had been coming to this place for many years and referred so many people. Ernie was always a cool dude but needs a little humbling now days. I took my diesel truck that I've taken there before for a smog and passed but the smog after I took it elsewhere because they weren't available that Saturday. So this time I decided to go back to them, I took it and Edgar which is the guy in the front checked it and said you need to drive it more and bring it back. I drove it around 300 miles brought it back this morning and he checked it and said it's good to go. He suddenly comes back out and says Ernie said you have to take it to where you took it the last time because it'll hurt our score!! It pisses me off they made me waste my time. Went to a different place and it passed with ease, which I also asked the guy if it was true that I had to bring it here again and he said no you can go anywhere it won't hurt their score specially if the truck was clear to pass. Definitely not going back or ever referring a soul to this place. Not what it used to be. read more
