Took my car to get smogged. It didnt pass. They told me that when they turned it on the engine light didnt turn on and when they ran it there was a misfire. Took it to get it fixed and they let me know that they pulled an industry scam on me. Said that if the engine light didnt turn on they should have told me it was going to fail anyway. So they got my money. They do not have morals or compassion for the working person. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Wonderful, family oriented! I will be bringing my vehicle here for service

Ive used Advanced Smog and Automotive for years now. When I was a Logistics manager for a local courier company, I would always take the cars here because the price is reasonable, the service is great and they get you in and out quick. Easy recommendation

Extremely friendly folks!!! Ed and his guys went above and beyond what I expected! My truck was sold to me with aftermarket parts that were not compatible with it to pass smog. Ed and his guys worked non stop to get the right parts to make it legal and as low cost to me as possible!! Its not often you find a place that treats you like family!! Thank you Ed, Tammy and crew for all your hard work!! You guys rock!!! :)

Nice and professional. I had two vehicles worked on and they were both taken care of quickly. The owners were very helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend Advance Somg & Legal Performance. Very happy with my service!

A wonderful place, homey and clean interior. Great service, was not left in the dark about anything. Best smog and repair shop Ive been to.

Excellent, best diagnostic technicians in town!I had a 1993 Volvo and always took it to the specialty mechanic, but after the specialty mechanic could not figure out why my car would not stay on, I needed someone new. A friend referred me to Advanced Smog & Legal Performance, I took it in for a diagnosis. Raul found my electrical fault fast and efficiently, furthermore he noticed a problematic vacuum leak which was causing me to lose about 3 MPG, and a broken suspension component which was throwing out my alignment! I had previously accepted the poor alignment, and attributed it to age. Now I know it was attributed to incompetent alignment techs. In one fell swoop I had everything fixed.Advanced Smog and Legal Performance may have a higher hourly, but that is because they fix it fast, fix it right, and fix it the first time.Needless to say, the techs at Advance Smog went outside the call of duty to provide superior service.Thanks to this family owned and operated shop, my Volvo runs perfectly.

Fast, friendly service. Definitely a place that cares for the customer. I even had my vehicle repaired and given back to me earlier than the expected time frame.

Although a bit difficult to find this shop was a delight to work with. The technicians were very fast and efficient. It took longer for the girl at the front desk to enter my information in the computer. She is the reason for only for stars. She was very unprofessional, taking a personal call while Im waiting at the counter. She just seemed to immature to be working at a front desk.

Fast & friendly service. Look for their coupons in flyers or on their website. Nice, clean waiting room area with water, coffee, and Wi-Fi. Apparently this place is under new ownership, but they seem good. Start certified too. Highly recommend.

The staff is extremely courteous and they kept me updated on my repairs. Definitely the shop to go to fir auto repairs.

Advance smog is always friendly and fast, we always take our cars there. I highly recommend them.

Took my car in to replace the engine and clutch on my supercharged 2003 hyundai tiburon.. The new engine blew the very next day once I received my car back.. I took it back to them n they said We did all were willing to help you with.. no refund no discount on repair no nothing.. ridiculous labor rate aswell so now Im out 6k and still have a blown engine

I always take my car here to get smogged well go anywhere else

Always good work at a fair price. Cant beat that.

Fast and answered all my questions.

Great place treated like family

Always my favorite smog auto shop

Yesterday, Tuesday 24, I took my jetta to his binary smog inspection, the waiting time is approximately 20 minutes, the service is fast and the receptionist always treats the customers very well. SPANISH is not spoken here, nor do they have bilingual staff but it is one of the best places in Bakersfield where they do a professional job and if there are complaints they resolve them with kindness. I personally, I recommend this inspection station, I would like there to be a place like this but with Hispanic staff. Unfortunately there is not why every two years I come here. In addition, if the car does not pass the inspection, they offer an application for the state CAP Consumer Assistant Program, where they cover $ 500 of the total repair service that they perform in their facilities if the application is approved. Its website has a $ 15 coupon that can be used for a total discount. This place is a few steps from the DMV. I am very grateful and satisfied with this place. My little branch, I urge you to go here even though you dont speak English but you will come out with a good taste in your mouth. Thank you. -LULU
