Whittier 76 Smog Center

Stopped in on a whim after going to another smog check location. The first location I went to failed my car, told me they don’t do free re-​tests, and gave me inaccurate instructions for how to remedy the issue. However, when I went to Whittier 76 they gave me the correct instructions for how to drive my car to pass the test and provided an ECU plug in for no cost so that I wouldn’t have to drive my car around all day guessing if everything was sorted. Highly recommended. Very nice and knowledgeable.

Great place. Just got my smog check (star test). I failed the first time, but the guy there helped give me an idea of what was wrong. I was able to fix the problem myself, and when I went back it passed no problem! This guy knows his stuff, if you need a smog check, roll up to this spot!

Definitely recommend this location, very friendly and professional with how things are done. Shop is very clean they also have a couch and TV to enjoy while you wait.

Just had my smog check here! It was fast, efficient and the dude there was very friendly. I will keep coming here and tell my friends and family about my experience! Two thumbs up!!!

Went to this shop earlier to get a smog for my car and honestly I loved this place very clean setup they have a couch there to relax they also have Netflix I was really entertained while waiting for the results, the technician there was very friendly and professional the whole process took about 7 minutes and he did everything and passed the car and sent everything to the dmv, all I had to do after is just pay the tags, I highly recommend this place if ur looking for cleans fast friendly and good price service, I’ll be back for sure

Honestly first time being here. The guy was really nice. My boyfriend is in mechanics so he knew he was doing everything right. He was really nice and quick service! Would definitely recommend to other customers needing a Star Certified Smog

Great place and great service!
I brought my car here the other day expecting to wait for at least an hour! From past experience that’s what it would take me to get it done. Just to be out the door in less than 10 mins.
Great prices and a friendly technician, if I could give this place more than 5 starts I sure would. Will I go back? Absolutely. I highly recommend this spot.

Great service. I was able to get my smog done quick. I cant really remember the guy name but he provided great service was quick to do the work. Location is great nest to the freeway.

Really love the place great customer service n very fast work. The guy was very friendly n we were talking about soccer while he was working on my car. I recommend everyone to go there for a fun smog experience … Keep it up.

2015÷06÷04 UPDATE: A few days after the fiasco, I received a $ 10.00 partial refund from SquarePay sent by Andy for a total out the door of $ 30.95 + time spent. My hope is that you can grow and learn from this experience and try a straight forward and upfront flat rate no-​strings-​attached pricing approach instead. Thank you for your timely action and understanding. Above all else, please stop crying.
BUYER BEWARE! I found out about Whittier 76 through Pennysaver and saw some 5-​star reviews and decided to give Ahmed Elkurdi aka Andy a try. Based on my experiences today, he does not have the best interest for his clients and will penny pinch and up-​charge you on just about everything and not tell you upfront about the miscellaneous charges he adds randomly at his own discretion. I called him and he states closing hours of 5:00pm when Unilocal gives 9am to 6pm then says he will wait a bit longer for me to head down. I brought a Pennysaver Coupon for PASS OR FREE RE-​TEST $ 19.75 +CERT to him and he quotes a cert amount of $ 8.25 for a total out the door of $ 28.00. Great price right? Total time from start to finish was about 5 minutes of work. Then, he hands me the bill quoting a smog certificate of $ 8.25 + a $ 2.00 telephone charge with a grand total of $ 39.95! He does not utter a word about why it costs so much extra. Then, we go to pay. I play along candidly. I opt for credit card then he abruptly charges $ 40.95 to the Square Pay. Upon arriving back, I call him to have him explain why he overcharges and spouts off a slew of garbage reasons why it costs so much more extra for few minutes of connecting OBD2 scanner and doing some simple form filling internet work. When asking for a refund or credit for the misunderstanding and confusion, he fails to deliver. Then, it dawns on me; he intentionally takes advantage of customers!!! I thought I could trust these reviews on Unilocal but I guess I won’t be going back to see Ahmed Elkurdi aka Andy again. For your sake, you should not either. Take your business and hard earned money elsewhere!!!
P. S. A $ 12.95 difference in up charge is not much but it is worth and funny to see what 5-​star review shops will end up doing to themselves for a quick buck. BANG!
P. P. S. Now he threatens to sue me for writing his name… no surprises here, people.

Ahmed is an excellent individual, with the best interest for his clients. Very knowledgeable guy and won’t hassle you an force you to take The smog test. Ahmed is a very honest individual, he told me to fix certain parts before running the emission test that way I wouldn’t pay double/​fail my first attempt. Helps troubleshoot to the best of his knowledge.
Ahmed will forever be my go to guy. Just trust worthy advice and price friendly. He will have me coming back for every admission test. I highly recommend Ahmed to anyone who is hesitant to try him. I recommend him to my close family and friends and other people that may ask for a reliable smog test.

Great customer service and fast good location the owner is cool i recommend the place to everyone

Earlier today took my car get smog check and it passed with flying colors! And Great costumer service!
