I only go to this shop because the owner is trustworthy & has excellent customer service! I have been coming here since 2016 & I highly recommend!

This guy is honest and really down to earth. If you drive an older vehicle, most other smog shops in town will BS you and say they can't do it cuz something's broken (which is never true) but this guy just gets right down to business. My test actually failed at first, long story short there was a loose, cracked tube in my engine and he pointed it out to me and helped fix it, and also discounted the failed test price. As far as service goes for cars from 1999, that's above and beyond compared to other shops in the area that lie as soon as they hear it's an older car.

What a criminal! He charged $83.25 for a smog check on a 1991 Toyota Pickup (which passed with no issues) AVOID THIS CRIMINAL ! TOTAL RIPOFF! (edit: Last time I got a smog it was $59 (from a different shop), and how could I see the price when the form is blank until AFTER the smog check?) Smogcheck.com says it should be between $29.95 and $69.95. $75 for the "service" + $8.25 for the certificate, entire test took 26 minutes, that's $173.07 per hour. Admit it, you're a RIP OFF!Service: Smog certification

I have a 1993 Ford, and the rate is higher. Don't take it out on the smog shops; take it out on California. I have used this Smog Center for over five years and have four vehicles. The service has always been GREAT. Wait time has always been reasonable. The owner is not some kid that does not know what he is doing. The owner's knowledge helps to speed things along. Lastly, the price is fair as the smog shops have prices set by California. If you call around, the differences in prices will be less than $10.00 between shops.Service: Smog certification

Great service ran by an honorable and honest gentleman. I've never had an issue here, or the past 3 visits I've had over the years. It's always been a pleasant experience and I will continue to bring my business back. Very reasonable pricing.I feel anyone who has had a negative experience here must not be knowledgeable with cars or don't understand how the On-Board Diagnostics(OBD) on modern cars work.

I was helped quickly and the man was friendly. However, the cupon pictured is no longer valid. As a matter of fact, the man said it has not been valid for a year. Rather than $40 out the door it would have been $45 plus the certificate fee $8.25. He was kind enough to only charge me $45 out the door but the picture should be gone. False advertisement.

Scam artists.. they couldn't give me a quote, they wanted to know what kind of car i drove.. "dude just tell me the prices " if you tell me what it costs to do a car, or small truck, or suv, or big truck or even an RV I'll gladly pay for what it costs but you day you can't do my smog, that you need to know, yea right, you want to over charge dependeding if you see i have money or not.. have the prices there to see, i know different cars cost different, depending on size and year, not anything else.. i didn't care how much i paid, just doubt try to scam me, i know enoughto know when I'm getting scammed if it comes to auto mobiles. .Never coming to this place ever..

Went there the first time. Didn't pass. Man told me to try and repair timing belt and possibly replace catalytic converter. Repaired both. He was right with timing belt. Still did not pass. Man was kind enough not to charge me for retest.Went to another place, Best Valley Smog & Auto. They let me know that since man left it on 2nd gear for test, it maxed out RPM's which caused test to fail. Best Valley performed both pre-test and normal test. When they shifted it to 3rd gear to keep RPM's low, passed with flying colors. Was also told that catalytic replacement was not necessary.Gave 2 stars because man was kind and didn't charge for retest. Also, I witnessed other vehicles he tested and pass. But mistake with RPM's cost me money.

Stopped by one day during business hours and the place was closed. The owner from an adjacent business came out, talked to me, and then called the owner of the business. The owner on the phone said that he'd be back in 10 minutes. 15 minutes later, no change, so I left to find another smog place.
