Jiffy Smog

to print a coupon to save $ 4 or so.
Was here Tue/​16 about 12 noon:
— I didn’t have the hard copy (either printed or thru the mail) so didn’t receive a discount. (Would have been nice if the attendant kept a stash of extra coupons). The attendant said it had to be a hard copy, not just off my smartphone.
— $ 20 for the service, would have been $ 16 with the coupon. At some Jiffy Smog locations they include a free car wash, but not this one.
— Best thing about this location was that it’s quick and convenient.
— Other places are cheaper without a coupon required (eg Premier Car Wash is $ 15 for smog check) but may not be as quick/​convenient.

I’m a regular customer for many years. My brother took his car for smog with engine light on. They smog it anyways. Car fail smog and charge full price anyways. I agree. But they know is not going to pass smog anyways. Sept04. I reset and drove that car around with my scan tool connected until ready for smog again. Went back to them. Asa I got there I asked the tech, it was a different tech. About that issue the day before. He respond than they don’t give a shit how many smog they do, because they get pay the same shit. At one point he asked me to leave and go some where else. I toll him to do the smog, and he did, but charge me before smog test was done. He tried to stay calm but that tech got attitude than we don’t need. He feel like we have a choice and they don’t need our business.

I just had one guy ahead of me. Nice attendant and I saved $ 3 with a coupon that i printed from online ;)

Jim was absolutely fantastic in helping me with my oil change and setting up my groupon for unlimited oil changes for a year.

It was only $ 15 with the coupon from their website. The man that did the smog check was friendly and fast, you couldn’t ask for anything more.

These guys are incompetent, unprofessional, and RUDE!!!
My wife took our 95 Toyota 4Runner to be smogged and the Tech failed the truck (after it passed the sniffer test) saying that it was supposed to have 2 catalytic converters.
The truck only has a single catalytic converter from the factory, and we verified this to him by calling the dealer in his presence. We even told him to call himself and verify with the dealer. It has never had a problem passing emissions with the single catalytic converter. I have the carfax to prove it!
We immediately took it to another smog shop who said that the previous tech was incompetent and the vehicle is within spec. Unfortunately the only ones who can give us an «exemption» are the techs at the DMV, since the vehicle has already been «black flagged».
So now I have to go appeal to the smog people at the DMV, and my vehicle has an emissions black flag on it’s record.
The regional manager was at the shop when this all went down, and was just as rude. Thanks to their incompetence hours of our time has been, and will continue to be wasted.
