ASM Test Only

Quick service and great price from ASM. Miguel is great, mention that you read about him, he doesn’t know Unilocal.It’s funny.

Five stars! Thanks to Miguel for everything! The shop became busy during my time there, but Miguel efficiently bounced back and forth between jobs to keep things moving smoothly and quickly! Great experience!

Jose was able to accommodate on a walk-​in basis, and I was in and out the door for $ 40 TOTAL, within 15 min for Ford F-​150 pickup. No complaints…

I came to ASM Smog Test because their sister station A&E Smog Test (where I have had favorable experiences before) had a problem with their equipment. The gentleman here was very courteous and performed my smog test efficiently, quickly and without problem. I believe the price was fair and I had no problems which are the basic goals of getting a smog test.

I had a very bad experience with ASM Test Only shop last month. The technician (Jose) was very rude, unprofessional, not courteous and not respectful. The $ 29.75 advertised on a board across the street does NOT include smog certificate ($ 8.25) and ETF ($ 5.00). There are 3 parts of the smog test procedure: Emission, Functional, and Visual. He claimed that I passed two parts except the Functional test, and mentioned that there’s no data in the car’s computer memory that stores error codes. He asked me to put more miles and come back next time and get a re-​test for additional $ 20. He also mentioned that if there’s a ‘Check Engine’ light on, the test will not pass. I believe he purposely failed the Functional test (he could enter Y/​N values manually in certain functional test on the computer) to make me come back and make more money, which was very inconvenient and unethical. The Emission test passed and this is more critical/​important than the other 2 tests. For both visits, I paid a total of $ 63 (ouch!). It’s a rip-​off ! The smog station’s previous name was «A&A Test Only», and they recently changed the business name to «ASM Test Only» maybe because of a new owner or they want to avoid bad publicity and negative customer reviews. Regardless of the name change, it’s the same bad service and staff. I DO NOT recommend this place at all because of the above reasons. Beware!

I saw the sign on the side of the road offering a $ 29 deal for smog «test only». so I brought my F250 Supercab truck in for a check. The person who I spoke to said it would be «$ 50 out the door, because it’s a heavy duty truck». I didn’t argue because the price is still under what other places charge, so I was ok with it. Having said that, there is nothing extra that is done on a heavy duty vehicle that I could see. He pulled the truck up onto the rollers, hooked up the sensor, ran it up to speed, and gave me the receipt. Interesting…
All in all an ok experience, I’ll report on price and service on the regular sized vehicle when it comes time to get it smogged.
