When I pulled up at 12:15pm, I asked where to park and if they did smogs, he said yeah you'll have to find a parking spot, then abruptly told me he's closed for lunch ave he'll be back at 1:00pm and just took off. I was the only person there. I'm sorry, if it were my shop, I would have been a lot warmer and said something like..." Oh yeah no problem, the only thing is I'm closed for lunch butt I'll get to you first thing when I get back if that's ok" then "Thanks so much see you soon" singling like b that...i would have done the smog first then went to lunch, so I didn't lose paying customers.

These guys are amazing and don't make you feel overwhelmed. Hayden has done my smog the last two years and is super prompt, friendly and helpful with any questions I had. Kevin actually gave me a ride home when my car was overheating! Seriously, if you're looking for a place that's going to treat you like family and is an honest place to take your vehicle... No joke these dudes have your back! I rarely write reviews but I'm SO impressed and need to share. Thanks you guys and I'll see you next year! Best, Winter

I took my RV in to get smog. The young man there was very polite and helpful. He got the job done quick and joked around with me and Even helped me when I had to make a three point turn to leave as we got down the road I got a phone call he let me know we had left our credit card there he told me not to worry just pull up in the street and he will run it out to us which he did yes he actually ran excellent service highly recommend this place

Had my 91 f150 smogged here. At first they wanted to fail my truck for having tygon vacuum lines, but they let me go without paying so I could fix it and come back. So I went and installed the correct style of vacuum line, went back and passed. Overall a good experience. Glad they didn't just keep it to themselves, take my money and fail me. Which is what they could have done. Both techs were nice and weren't bothered by me showing them a few things about my truck that they weren't familiar with. (ex. Best spot to view timing marks, where spout connection was). I will use their

Would definitely recommend Arch's. Had my car smogged yesterday............it failed. The needed repair was shown to me and clearly explained. Today the repair was done quickly and the cost of parts and labor was very reasonable. Even though this was a very small repair job, I was given a ride home and picked up when my car was finished. Kevin, Brendan, Chas and the Smog technician were all very professional and friendly. Thanks again for making this state requirement as easy as you could on my patience, time and wallet.

Yep, I STILL go to Arch's! They do solid and dependable work at a reasonable price.
Original Review 7/14/2012:
I've been bring my various vehicles to Arch's Auto since the early 1990's and will continue to do so. Over the years my wife and I have tried other repair services in the area, including dealerships, and have never had as good of an experience(s) as I do with Arch's. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Why do I keep coming back to Arch's? Because I trust them!

Have been getting my car smogged here for almost 10 years. I have always felt the smog techs were friendly. Waiting time can be long if you go when it is crowded. You really can't speed up a smog check all those that complain about wait times. I also have had a great experience with arch's repair shop. They are very reasonably priced and know what they are doing. Would definitely recomment this place.

They have been here for over 66 years and not one review.
Well I get my cars smogged here every time and they are great to work with and have two bays so not much of a wait.
I had major work done on my Ranger V-6 and all was good. Never a bad feeling at Arch's. So many people go the I cannot see this lack of reciews. The good ones need help sometimes, Give them a try....
