This is my new go to place to get work done on my car. I failed my smog because of an exhaust leak. Campus Shell could have charged me for a new exhaust and instead told me I could save money by having the hole in the exhaust welded. This place is honest and the technicians are so friendly and knowledgeable. If any anyone is looking for an honest mechanic, I 100% recommend Campus Shell.Services: Auto emissions testing, Smog certification, Emissions testing

Great price for a smog check. I brought a coupon from their website but that is their normal price anyway. I was in and out in no time and I didn't even have an appointment. The technician was really nice. Only took like 10-15 minutes for him to complete the diagnostic test. I was able to register with the DMV within a day as well.

They don't abide by their own published hours and the attached Shell had little to no idea when the smog check WOULD open when I showed up.

Quick, cheap, and easy Smog Check. This is a STAR station. I highly recommend them! Just phone ahead, and schedule an appointment so you don't have to wait too long.Update - Once again today, September 2017, I simply phoned them up and said I need a smog check. They said come right over, and I did. They took care of me within minutes. Pleasant experience!

For the past 5 years we ve been using them for smog checks in all of our vehicles so over a dozen times. I found out the hard way that it is a one-man operation. The smog guy is separate from the mechanic, and my second or third time being there during their normal hours the smog guy had gone home ill. Now that I know it is a one man operation, I call ahead of time. It s wonderful to support an independent, one person operation but I highly recommend calling before going in. Other than that caveat he gets the job done at the best price around. Our big diesel truck costs more but that s the same anywhere.PS: One of the reviewers above mentions the sky knows nothing about cars because he said it was a 2.4 L with turbo and his is a 2.0, no turbo, but that s a problem with the VIN number just sayingService: Smog certification

Fastest smog check I've ever had. $43 out the door for my car, $48 for my truck. Had two vehicles needing smog checks and each took less than 10 min. WAY faster and cheaper than AAA, which costs about $15 more.

I initially gave a bad review because they were closed when their website said they should be open.But when I got there while open, they were fast and professional. I even tipped the technician.

I brought my car here for a smog check and oil change and they did an excellent job! They were quick and did the job well. Their prices are also great!

Don't buy gas there. I was charged twice on my credit card and when I called the station. The guy asked if I had the receipt. I didn't have the receipt, that supposedly has a number to call and he said, that's a real problem.
