If you don't have a current registration, they can pull your info from an old one, guy was chill. Didn't catch his name, but presumably Tony, is cool.

This place feels like it survives by advertising cheap coupon prices and then making up the…read moredifference once you show up. The extra charge for SUVs is ridiculous, especially when it's the same test and same state fee. Nothing about it felt honest. The owner was rude, easily irritated, and acted like basic customer questions were some kind of personal attack. If you want to be treated like an inconvenience while paying more than expected, this is the place for you. There are too many decent smog shops around town to waste your time here. Bad attitude, misleading pricing, and zero professionalism. Hard pass.

Hi I needed a smog check done quickly on Monday morning (I transferred a vehicle into my name and…read moreDMV needed it in order to complete the transfer). The gentleman at the shop was very nice and knowledgeable he told me it would only take a few minutes to just sit in the waiting area and would get me out quickly. I'm going to bring the rest of my cars here and recommend this place going forward.

Didn't take long at all, I was out in less than 20 minutes. Superb service. I had seen that they were closed down years ago but when I passed by the other day, and was very happy to find them still in business. This is where I will always take my suv too to check my vehicle, replace parts or repair my suv. Don't go anywhere else but here. One very happy gal.

When a different guy came in to take my payment I asked "Why would he rev my engine like that?" He stated its to check for leaks. These guys are hacks. I was an ASE certified technician in my younger days. You don't rev an engine like that ever especially when it just had the oil put in. I will never take my car here again. There wasn't one technician over 20 years old. Bunch of little kids that don't know what they're doing. Probably caused damage to my engine. From the time I got there until the time I left all of them kept staring at me and my wife. Either they are really smoked out or don't know about making people feel comfortable in an establishment. Pay the extra $10 and go somewhere else.

And then one day the old Asian Man (Owner) became REALLY RUDE over the phone, like I'm wasting his time. He wants me to come in first for an inspection so he can "order the right part". Again, I've been coming here twice a year for many years. I asked what changed?? He just said "I'm busy right now". What an *SS. I wouldn't mind paying extra $50 to get the respect I deserve as a paying customer. Disclosure: I'm Asian too.

I can't recommend this place enough! If you're looking for a straightforward, affordable, and…read morefriendly smog check, Alvarez is the place to go. I had a frustrating experience just a few days ago at a different shop where my truck failed the smog check. The issue was with the OBDII monitoring, but the technician there was zero help--he didn't offer any explanation, just charged me the full fee and told me to "try again in a couple of days." I felt like I was just throwing money away. Coming to Alvarez was a completely different experience. Not only was the service fast, but the technician actually took the time to talk to me. He explained exactly why my truck failed previously and what I needed to do (drive cycles) before getting it tested again to ensure it would pass this time. Save yourself the headache and the money--this is the only place I'll be taking my vehicles from now on.
