Called for an appointment and was able to get in the next day at a time that was convenient for me. Very quick service!Recommend and would definitely stop in again for the next Smog.

Beware!!!!! Lots of scamming going on here. I paid through a trade for a headgasket job on my 4runner and when we picked it up It still had a blown head gasket and overheated on the way home after being at auto tech and smog for 3 weeks!!! The owner Bill and smog technician Chris do not care they are liars beware. Gasket makers in manteca will take care of your head gasket issues don't waste your time with these low lifes. Honestly hope this place parishes and disapears forever . Customer -$3000 shop bad karma forever is all we can hope.

I would never go back here. I had them do smog on my Jeep Wranglerand then my Mustang after that, everything was great. Then when I was planning a trip to Montana, I took it in for a Trip Check. They charged me $700.00 to top of my fluids, they did nothing elce! They are ok for smogs but NOTHING ELCE. I'll never go back.

They get the job done and they do it at a reasonable price, but sent my daughter here recently and the staff was rude from the time she scheduled, bad talking the previous owners and again bringing it in for the appointment. Customer service is poor and likely won't go back.

This is a business my family has gone to for almost a decade, my first time getting a smog check done on my own car. Quick and professional service, kind people, and a clean shop all around. The gentleman at the front desk (didn t catch his name) was very helpful, and Chris, the technician, is super cool and knew his stuff. Definitely where I ll be taking all my cars for anything I need done professionally.

I get my smog at this place. It only took 10 to 15 minutes for them to get me out of there and they were very flexible on what time I can come in the day after my phone call. Friendly people who I will see in a couple more years

When in for a Smog check, they were very professional and very detailed. After preforming the smog check, they told me readings of sensors that that used to perform the smog check. They also gave me recommendations about repairs that where not needed but would present future problems. The person at the front desk was very helpful to the older couple that went before me and even though they had an accent. Overall great experience and good customer service.Service: Smog certification

Had a free smog and they wouldn't honor it. He said it was expired after a year. Since you can only smog your vehicle every two years that made no sense.. plus said he would give us the coupon deal but yet it was the same price on the wall. Very very frustrated with this, I made a call to GS Smog & repair with no appointment needed and for 60.00 we got our paperwork back and went there. The staff at GS smog were excellent and funny new smog place for sure!!!!

You can search the entire region for a better location for emissions testing...but you will not be successful! It's like I stepped into a time warp. These guys know the importance of service and they arie the masters of implementing it. They are accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. So glad to have discovered them. I thought great service was a thing of the past. At Autotech it truly lives on.Service: Smog certification

This place is quick, honest, and knowledgeable. Wonderful people.I had a HORRIBLE experience with Automotive Excellence in Placerville and these guys made it all better. They charged me a TOTAL $200 to evaluate the problem with my car enough to make a decision on what to do with it. While Automotive Excellence wanted me on the hook for $500 of DIAGNOSTICS ALONE with ZERO guarantee they would figure out what was wrong with it and without doing a single repair (and they had my car for a whole week)... something this place did in one day and only charged me $200 which was extremely kind since he had already done some legwork in finding the old parts. Thank you so much for being honest. I would trust this place with any vehicle I own.

We have been taking our cars to Autotech for Smogs for over 20 years. Only place we will go. Andy and crew are always honest, friendly, and knowledgeable, and on the few occasions when one of our older cars did not pass, they were extremely helpful in providing the info to resolve the issue, and then come back and re-test. Thank you Autotech for being a shop we can always trust.

I have been taking my vehicles here for nearly 9 years and have always been more than satisfied with the repairs and costs. Andy and Bill are the best and really seem to care about my family and keeping us on the road. I highly recommend!!

Couldn't ask more from a smog shop. Affordable price, get you in and out really quickly, techs were friendly enough. I don't think you could ask for a better smog shop. Just be aware they are cash or check only.

These guys are great. Reasonable prices for smog checks with the coupon on their website. Only issue is they don't take credit/debit cards, and parking is insufficient and awkward.

Went there last week, told him that my car was sitting for months, plus I had just changed the battery. After it did not pass the test, he tells me I should have told him "all of the above". He said if he had known (which he did!!) he would have NOT start the process as I needed to drive the car first for a while in order to reset the "system's self-check"!!! Well, won't see me again!One reluctantly in order to give my review.

They were able to smog my 36' rv, same day and at a reasonable price. Good guys. Provided the service I needed so I definitely recommend.

I always go to Autotech for my smogs. Their price is always reasonable. They check the vehicle to make sure there are no codes and the IMs are ready. If they are not they tell you and there is no charge. They try to make sure that your vehicle will pass. They don't try to take advantage as I have seen other smog shops do. I highly recommend them.

Without a doubt, the very best of the best in automotive repair, plus the only establishment to trust when it comes to smog certification. The mechanics are some of the best in the county and they'll take the stress out of the smog certification process. Let's face it, the whole process of getting ones car smogged can be a sheer nightmare. Not with AUTOTECH, you'll be glad you went there.
