Cheap Smog Test

Got scammed here. Took our VW van to get smogged and the tech mentioned something about all Volkswagens tending to fail smog because of timing problems involving too high RPM. We’ve never had a problem with that before, so we didn’t think anything of it. After running the tests, he proclaimed that, in fact, our van would not pass because of the RPM reading. He charged us $ 45 and sent us on our way.
My boyfriend smelled BS so we took it down the street to Action Smog. The tech there said the other guy could not possibly have run the test properly because our van passed just fine. We chose this place because it was the cheapest, but we ended up having to pay for another test anyway.
Gross! Take your business elsewhere.

Only four star because the lines can be crazy long at times. I’ve read that some people have felt as he didn’t pass smog check on their cars and felt ripped off! I have to say it was complete OPPOSITE for myself, he did everything he could do and spent a long time on my SUV so it would pass thank god! And I bring all my vehicles to him. No complaints except for long lines at times.

The cheapest smog in town. The staff is great. Drive-​through is very convenient. They get you in and out. I’ve been going there for years and recommend it to all my friends.

Inexpensive, friendly service, very quick and best of all was open until 7. So while the others were closed I was able to come here right after work on a Tuesday which was very convenient! Fair pricing too. Highly recommend.

Scam! Took my money, and said my 2015 Dodge needed to build information. Seriously disappointed, how can you operate like that, he didn’t even offer to re-​run it! Come back and pay again in 3 days, you must need to double charge good standing citizens because your cheap test means you gotta make it up somewhere!

Super quick and friendly. I got in and out within 15 minutes! They have a waiting area with toys and books but honestly with as efficient as they are you really don’t have time :)

No appointment. Took 15minuets (max). Didn’t even have time to open the book I brought to read. Lowest price I’ve seen in town!

Cheap, quick, honest. So-​so waiting room, but I’ve never waited longer than 20 minutes.
Been going here since 2006. We have two older cars, one American, the other Japanese. Both have always passed, except once when I had a bad gas cap. He took pains to test the cap again while I watched. With a new cap ($ 10), the car passed with flying colors.

Friendly environment with great service! The people are courteous and want you to go home a happy camper also check out some of the books in the waiting room, great reads ! I promise you will not be disappointed with this shop or its service.

This is by far the best smog check place in the area. The men are wonderful, honest, and fast! The girl that does paperwork is sweet, and great with people!!!
If you are looking for a fast, and honest place, then this is the place for you!!! *****

Don’t bother looking for another place. This is the one to go to. Fast, easy, cheap and friendly. Don’t pay any attention to the negative reviews because they must be fake ones done by competitors. I’ve been coming here for years and have been in and out in just a few minutes. The one time I had a problem with the computer in my car he explained the whole process to me and we were able to get it to pass.

Easy Peasy lemon squeezy. I didn’t bring anything but they were able to send all the info to the DMV. I was in and out in 10 minutes. I went around 1pm. Look for the big green warehouse.

Great service, both a fast and very reasonably priced Smog Test. No appointment required here, just drive in, get tested, pay, and drive out. Dealing with Automotive related services is like having a tooth pulled, however not the case with Cheap Smog Test. They made a painful process easy. Highly recommended!

Es el uno lugar donde voy aser el smog ami carro ya por 4 años i me gusta mucho el servicio se los recomiendo…
Is the best place I’ve been to smog my carr for the past 4 years and i love the service I recommend you rhis place… THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE CHEAP SMOG!!!

Getting your car smogged sucks. Its a pain, and it feels like you are just throwing money away if you haven’t modified your car, or if you have a decent car that you know isn’t polluting. But like paying taxes, you don’t have much of a choice if you plan on keeping your car registered.
But these guys were really great. Great price, very nice, and friendly. They have a waiting room with snacks, books, magazines, TV and it wasn’t very expensive.
They just made a thing I hate to do, as enjoyable as it can be.
I’m surprised by some of the bad reviews since my experience was so great.
You can’t get mad if you didn’t pass.
I know before I get a smog test, to change the oil, filters, and yes, make sure the check engine light is not on. That light doesn’t mean that you open the hood to check and make sure you have an engine. :-)

Just had my car smogged this morning. First time I’ve had to do this. Lost my DMV letter and confused with the whole process…
This place is probably the friendliest place I have ever been to. Was fast, easy and very accommodating.
Some businesses could take a page out of this places customer service handbook. A++
Highly recommend going here for your smog tests.

Slow service, owner is hostile, the young girls he hires to «write up» the test are pathetic, and don’t care, if your looking for a bad experience, go here, they will not disappoint! If i could give zero stars I would. The owner should stick with his photographic business which he advertises in the shop. horrible customer service, rude to customers, try another shop, many in the neighborhood to choose from, oh yeah, and if he knows your car will fail, he will run the test anyway and charge you, basically he just wants your money and doesn’t care about you… if your car has a problem, and doesn’t pass, he will send you somewhere else, (it’s a scam), no brains or time to fix your problem, run away from this guy, or he might throw a monkey wrench at you!

Always great service!
Smog test done efficiently. The team here has always given me no b.s. service… Quick and friendly.
Edmundo is a retired mechanic so he even let’s me know when he notices things that need attention. I really appreciate that! I have a 95 Wrangler that wouldn’t pass the first time but he told me what to fix, very minor adjustment… I came back and was more than happy to pay for the retest. I wouldn’t want to go somewhere that passes my car just to get the slip!
You can tell he loves what he does and takes pride in doing it right! Reading several other reviews here that have said their vehicles have passed in other places but not his. He does not take shortcuts! I have enjoyed learning about the in-​depths of how these tests work and having him educate me on how the tests should be done correctly!
His front-​desk employee is very professional. I am always on-​the-​go so I appreciate the quick and straight-​forward service. You can tell his employees are well taken care of here! Definitely coming here for my smog tests as long as they stay in business!

I’ve been coming here for a little of 4 and a half years now brought in multiple cars, always feels like a breeze when I go. just a matter of going in and then before i know it, it’s done and painless. It is in fact an honest business, I did notice notice that after trying to refer my friend to this place that, he mentioned the most recent reviews and how bad of a score they had given the place.
Well fear not people, don’t be swayed by incompetence, there is a rather large T.V. Screen that has been there a rather long time that does in fact let you know about the «Check Engine» light and what could be the potential cause. It’s like this if theres a red light you tell just speed through, get pulled over and let him know that you didn’t realize the red light was on? I mean it’s right there staring you dead in the face, how could you not see, nor question wether or not it could be a problem. If your going to complain and moan and cry because you «didn’t know, or didn’t bother to read the screen why complain? It was there they tend to Always be there i mean, they make it obvious and try to draw your attention to it, they can’t force you to look at something if you make the conscious decision to not look or ignore it.
Anyway enough with that educating.
This place is Superb, the people are friendly, and there is a very pleasant vibe to the place.

You could have told me that my car would not pass if the «check engine» light was on before you wasted 40 minutes of my time and $ 47! Shame on you!

GREAT EXPERIENCE! We had absolutely no waiting and drove right in. The owner Edmundo greeted us with a smile — and we were smog checked and out the door for $ 53. (Pass With cert) in under 15 mins.
I will definitely recommend this shop and return in the future!
