I would recommend A1 to Barstow residents. Locally operated and pleasant to deal with. This is from a local resident who for the past 20 Years went to Hesperia for all my smog checks.

Excellent service and customer care!



I have been temporarily residing in the Las Vegas area. I needed a smog check for my 16-year-old California vehicle. After searching the Internet, I discovered A1 Express Smog Check in Barstow, California, which is a 151-mile drive from Las Vegas.



Because of their Google Review had 4.7 Stars, I decided to take the chance and call A1 Express. I spoke with their smog technician, Amin. He was very friendly, explained the smog check process, and he mentioned A1 Express is “Star Certified” by the CA DMV.



By telephone, Amin quoted a price for the smog test and a separate price for the smog certificate, so I knew the total price in advance. When I asked for directions to A1 Express, Amin asked me if I was driving from Las Vegas. I responded, “Yes,” and without asking, Amin offered a $10.00 discount. Amin also provided excellent instructions for exiting the I-15 to his facility – they were spot-on.



About 2.5 hours later, I arrived in A1 Express in Barstow. They are conveniently located on Old Route 66; across the street from Mojave Toyota. I was greeted by a technician who immediately took my paperwork and began the smog-check process. Upon arrival, Amin was on the telephone, but as soon as he finished, he introduced himself and was as friendly in person as he was by telephone.



The smog-check took less than 20 minutes, as I sat watching television in the customer waiting room. Upon completion of service, I was prepared to remind Amin about the $10.00 discount he offered by telephone. But, to my pleasant surprise, there was no need for a reminder, because the discount was already on the invoice – nice!



In summation, I highly recommend A1 Express Smog Check to all the residents of Barstow. More so, if you are one of the many temporary or part-time California residents in Las Vegas, you should feel confident driving to Barstow to visit this facility. A1 Express is efficient, straight-forward and honorable.

I came here because of the great reviews and I wasn't disappointed! Amin was so helpful and fast even though I had to get the more thorough smog check on my truck. Prices were spot on. Not too expensive and I got great service.

It can be sufficient to say all of the reviews before this one are 100% accurate, but the level of integrity, courtesy, and respect Amin provided makes additional comments deserving. All work and prices were disclosed up front; no extra costs. It took only 20 minutes for the test. Amin knew I had a long drive home and gave me a bottle of water to go. It isn't about the cost of the bottle; it's the value of how Amin cared enough to do this. I told him I had water but he said his was cold and made sure I took it. Sometimes, there's more to good customer service than just saying hi and thank you.

Amin is awesome. Very fast and friendly service. We will definitely come back.
