Founder, John Wilson, opened Auto Chek Centers' first Test-Only Center in West Los Angeles on November 1st, 1984. Auto Chek Centers entered the young industry with an innovative, full-service, step-by-step strategy to meet the state's growing need for smog inspections. This successful business model and service concept, enabled a second location to be opened two years later, in Fullerton. Auto Check Centers now operates six service locations in Southern California.
