A-1 Auto Tech is very proud of our Gold Shield Station Status that we achieved in October 2004.  Please read the requirements below or visit the Gold Shield Website for the entire criteria.

The Gold Shield Program helps consumers locate higher performing Smog Check stations that can repair, retest, and certify Gross Polluters. Having a Gold Shield station repair and certify a vehicle means that the owner does not have to return to a Test-Only station for the certification after it has been repaired.  
Gold Shield Eligibility Criteria:
A Gold Shield station must have no disciplinary actions against its Automotive Repair Dealer Registration (ARD), Smog Check station license or the licenses of its technicians or managers.
A Gold Shield Station must meet strict testing and repair performance standards each calendar quarter; and submit to periodic performance inspections and monitoring.

A-1 Auto Tech is a licensed Smog & Repair Station through the State of California.  This includes being certified by the State of California as a Gold Shield Station.  Our Facility has invested in top of the line Smog machinery (ESP Dyno Smog Machine).  

We are able to do ALL SMOGS, Test Only, Gold Shield, Diesel & Regular Smog Tests!

A-1 Auto Tech also requires it technicians to be certified in the ASE  Certification Program.  This program insures that you as a consumer are getting repairs done by a competent technician who have proven their technical skills.  Technicians are tested by ASE on a multitude of subjects.  ASE requires technicians to re-test every five years to keep up with technology and to remain certified.


A-1 Auto Tech has been certified by the State of California as an Official Brake & Lamp inspection site.  What this means is if you have the unfortunate circumstances to have your vehicle salvaged by the insurance company and your vehicle is still in working order, and you want to keep it, then the State of California requires your vehicle to be inspected to insure your brakes and your lights are all in working order.
