Even with 2 cars ahead of me I was out in 20-25 minutes.Guy at the counter was nice and made it easy.Paid $50 for Smog Check + Certificate since a lot of comments mention price.

This place is easy to find. I live right down the road. The person who helped me and did my smog, registration and sticker was very nice. He got it done really quick. About 15mins. I highly recommend this place. They have seats inside where you can sit while waiting. I will be going here next time I need work done on my car.

Have been going here for years and I recommend this shop highly. Even though he is test only, I bring my vehicles here, mandatory test or not. This is a hard working smog tech, that knows his stuff and gets the job done quickly and professionally. Takes hard work & money to be an enhanced area smog tech and requires a serious license and continual mandatory updates He is NOT going to put his license or your vehicle at risk.

I brought a coupon that was supposed to make the smog check $30. He said it didn't apply because I needed a star check. The coupon says star check facility right on it, but whatever. Asked him how much he was going to charge me and he said "$10 more-- $40." Got home and realized he charged me $50. I won't go out of my way to come back here.Edit: your coupon is dishonest, and so were you. I had already handed you my DVW renewal form. You knew what I was there for, that I would need the certificate. You absolutely did not say $50-- that's just an outright lie.Service: Emissions testing

Sign on road says 39.99 I went in and he quoted me 60 but he'd take 55 , I said the sign says 40 and he told me fees have gone up plus certificate . I told him in the past he charged 40 . He looks up two past vehicles and says the most recent was three years ago. I agree as everything has gone up. When he finishes I get a receipt that has smog check 46.75 and certificate 8.25 for a total of 55. The certificate was the same price the only thing that changed was his price for the smog which he falsely advertises in front of his shop. To top it off I see he has a 30 dollar coupon for smog on his website. That's how he treats returning customers. 6.75 isn't enough to complain about after a few years the way things have gone up, false advertising is.Service: Smog certification

This place is not easy to see from the street. If not for the flags & banner at roadside I'd never have found it!The technician who assisted me was courteous and quite efficient.He also made good recommendations which was helpful.They also have a coupon offer available on SmogTips.com so check that site out before you head over for a smog check.

I went on the web site for a smog test plus it said pass or don't pay, will it failed to pass smog. I paid $61.75 and the retest is $40.00 + 8.25 for certificate the full amount would be $110.00. the problem I have is he didn't let anybody know that on the web site the retest for cars older then 2000 must pay again. When i called him about this he said he would check on this matter, this is called false advertising he can.t make the rules as he go I think i should get a free retest and just pay for the cert. $8.25. I can remove this review if i choose to.Service: Emissions testing

I highly recommend this shop. They are honest and they go out of their way to take care of their customers. I have been a loyal customer for over 7 years and I recommend all the people that ask for a recommed smog shop. All of my friends are always satisfied with the level of service that they recieve

Called about 45 minutes before they closed and to see about a test. They said it would take about 5-6 minutes. I got to the place about 30 minutes before they closed and they were all locked up. Almost as if as soon as they hung up they phone they split for not wanting to do 5 minutes of labor. Go to any other smog check place, this place has no respect for your time and don t deserve your money.

Rude ... nasty attitude towards me ...he gave me a T for tamper...I had previous services done to my BMW and they are up to California code I asked him to take a 2nd look at my car he refused and then insisted my car smokes so that is where he failed my car and it's out if his hands ..... He is not nice and I hope that he changed his ways or goes out of business ....11/23/18
