Longden Test Only

thanks for the quick and great service, Best price in town. we appreciate the service

Quick and courteous service. I was in and out within 5 minutes.

Poor service and very deceitful pricing. I came here about a year ago after finding them online advertising a smog check for $ 40 out the door. The work was done quickly and they were friendly at that time. After the work was complete, I received a $ 10 coupon for my next visit.
Now it was time to get a smog check again so I checked around and found some other shops with lower prices but I felt I could trust longden so I called over to get a price. I was told $ 49.99 over the phone with no mention of a coupon. So I had right over expecting to pay about $ 40 again with my coupon that I’ve held onto for about a year and when I get my car in I give the guy the coupon and he says so with the coupon it’s going to be $ 49.99. I questioned him about how he just told me 49.99 over the phone with neither of us saying a word about the $ 10 off but then he started to have an attitude about things and tried to say that the price on the wall is $ 59.99 for smog but he was just telling me the discounted price over the phone even though that had never been brought up.
This place lives up to the stereotype of not being able to trust a mechanic and so I took my business to another shop that was cheaper and honest about their pricing.

I was in and out very quick. Tony was great and even gave me a discount. I drove a little farther because the reviews were so high for this place and I’m glad I did. Highly recommend.

After been here for few years, I’ve decided the need to write this review. I don’t think there is a better place to get your smog check than this one.
I was literally in n out under 11 minutes. After filled out a short form, thought it was a good idea to get a hot dog at Arco at the corner while waiting, but when I walked back, I can’t believe the car was done and the guy was waiting with my key. I was upset he didn’t give me chance to eat my dog.
I have recommend my friends and relatives and they all had great experiences as well.
All of their guys are friendly, professional, honest, and efficient.

Visited for my 3^rd time.
Service is great as always!

Drove by and said «hey why not» get my smog check done while I’m here. I was greeted by a kind and friendly man with a fresh cup of coffee, a comfortable leather sofa to relax on and minutes later, my certificate was transmitted.

This place is run by a very friendly couple. They were so patient with me and my noobness in getting a smog check, haha (smog checks aren’t any work so I’ve learned). Thankful for these guys.

Fast, friendly, in and out in 15 minutes. The gentleman performing the test even chatted with me while working. I noticed he also asks up front about check engine lights; nice to know he won’t charge you and do a bogus test if you’re going to fail outright anyway. Probably the smoothest smog check I’ve ever had.

Located behind the Arco car wash, this place might be hard to find but soon as you see the Arco you know your in the right spot. This is a very nice and friendly business, best one in the area. I’ve been coming here for three years and have not been disappointed not even once. You can tell the employees really care for their customers. They will take care of you as fast as they can. I’ve never had a problem taking my car here always fast and friendly. This is definitely a place to recommend! Either Chris or Tony will be helping you out and they are both so kind.

Just got done with my smog check and they had great customer service! Chris worked on my car and he was fast, helpful, and friendly. I brought my car in before it got too busy and I was done in less than 20 minutes. Price was also very reasonable

Thought I would come in at a convenient time a little after lunch time, but it wasn’t for the owner. Since everybody comes during lunch time, I brought my car in right after the rush and stopped the owner from eating lunch, but the owner didn’t push me away because he was hungry and couldn’t take lunch.
Customer service is absolutely great. Very friendly and felt comfortable like I’m at a relatives auto shop.
The smog test was literally 10mins and I was out within 15mins.
They don’t take Amex, but take visa and mastercard.
I would recommend this place to my co-​workers and friends in the area!

There are a couple of reasons That I gave them 3 and half starts.
First, it was my mistake. I did not check the operation hours. So I went there around 8:08 am. and I saw the white guy who is probably the staff who take care the smog check section (I can tell from his uniform) He was talking on the phone. Well I can understand that probably he was busy. So I decided to not interrupt him. It took me 13 mins to stand in front of the shop. I asked another guy who was working at the tires section he said the shop was opened now. And yes the white guy will take care me. I understand that it was not his fault because the shop open at 8:30. I felt so bad because I was in the rush hours for me. I want to finish it before I was going to work. The big reason that I gave them 3 and half starts is the place that looks professional and clean. If you come not too early like me you are probably get good service from them. I take off 1.5 starts because the staffs should put the customer as first priority. He should at least tell me, the shop is not ready yet or give me the estimate time. Plus, the another staff shouldn’t say it already opened. I knew this kind of not fair for them because I did not use the real service. It was totally my fault to forget checking the operation hour or call them first. But if you are in the rush time. 5 minutes or 10 minutes is a lot of values. Then I decided to find a new place which is far from that spot 4 minutes. I leave from this shop around 8:25. The gate is still closed and yeah that make sense because they open at 8:30. In my opinion if the gate open at 8:30 how long will it take for set up the machine ?? You guys should come to set up before the operation hour start this is just my suggestion. And yes I m Asian guys English is my second language it doesn’t mean I don’t have money to pay or I’m not priority. So sorry for a little disappointed. I hope it will be useful for another customers to read before get the service and useful for them to improve the service. I promise I will come back this place and see what is going on next.

This past Saturday I took my daughter’s VW to this station. It was her request to take it there. It was getting late on Saturday and my daughter needed to get it done before she went into a late penalty for her registration. I had a very brief wait while one vehicle was being finished. The shop I have previously used for our cars has one plastic chair for people waiting. I was happy to be able to sit comfortably here, particularly since I had been working hard all day. Tony was the tech who helped me. Very friendly and outgoing gentleman. He was efficient in going about all the required checks. In a short time the testing was over, I got the certification for my daughter and was ready to be on my way. I will be back there this week with first of two cars we have to have tested this year.

Do not wonder any further, come here! You’ll never want to go anywhere else. They made the annoying need for a smog check pleasurable. Thank you all, I do appreciate your honesty, friendliness and work!

Boy, oh boy! I’ve never been so excited to review a smog check center before! Tony is the coolest, nicest, most helpful dude ever! The check took only 10 minutes and the price was very fair! Whoever owns this place needs to give Tony a raise! I would recommend this place whole-​heartedly!

First time needing to have my car smog so I turned to Unilocal.
I called a few places to get pricing. While most were equivalently priced, this place had the friendliest customer service over the phone. I asked how long it would take and the owner said 10 minutes. Awesome!
After arriving the customer service was equally as great compared to my phone experience. They offered snacks, coffee and water while you wait. Only took about 7 minutes, so it was a bit quicker.
This is a family owned shop and the owners seem to really value their customers! If you’re in the area and need to get your car smogged this is the place to do it!

As other reviewers put it, the best and reliable smog test center.
Fast and reasonably priced.

So glad to have found this place thru my mechanic! Tony was very prompt and friendly! The test was done before I could whip out my phone and finish my review!

So I bought a used truck and I needed a smog test. So based on these Unilocal reviews, I decided to try this place out. I was blown away by the professionalism and service. The gentleman here got me in and out in no time. And my truck passed. He was even nice enough to call me after I left to advise me that I had forgotten my water bottle. I will definitely recommend and will be back.
