Tahoe Test and Tune

recently moved to California and needed a smog check on my car. called Tahoe test and tune and asked if I could get a smog check done quickly. Jeff told me to just come by and he would work me in. When I arrived Jeff completed my check and got me out quickly. Fast efficient polite service. If I need automotive service this will be my first call.

This guy is joke! Zero customers service skills. Bad mouthed the shop that normally works on my car. Went in to get a smog check being new to ca. He could of told me i would not of passed since my cat was replaced in oregon with cat not approved for ca by looking at the cat when starting the test and not at the end. When I asked about repairing it he suggested one his friends or to order the part my self… Plain bad service. Would give less stars if possible!

Jeff was great! Came in to get a smog check moving back from out of state, nice to go to a small local shop who welcomes you home! Paid and out the door in 10 min!

1star is actually too many. DONT GO THERE!!!
when i arrived it had taken me an extra 5−10min to find the place because their sign is so tattered&unreadable. When i approached the business the owner was standing there&i said“Hi your place is sure hard to find” he states to me“at this point in my career I’m not trying to be found”. He turned his back&closed door in my face!!! needless to say i left&went to expert auto where they were very helpful&welcoming! Tahoe Test and tune is unprofessional&the guy is blatantly rude& needs to retire instead of taking out his hate on others!!! DONT DO BUSINESS THERE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

Don’t go here. The guy is angry, and his equipment doesn’t work. But he’s quick to tell you his problem is all your fault.
I just got my smog done on my car that failed twice at his place. Besides accusing me of altering my vehicle software because his tool wasn’t recognizing my car, he is a most unpleasant person. As far as I’m concerned, he stole my money, while giving a bunch of attitude.
My advice is just to go somewhere outside of the Lake Tahoe region, where someone can actually be helpful. They don’t really want your business here for this.

This guy Jeff is a swindler… extremely rude and controlling (my husband went, not me). He told him that our 2000 4-​Runner didn’t pass because of alternator timing, did not fail for smog, but the timer was «off» according to the computer. Then he said that he would have to be the one to fix it (quoted a price) and then re-​smog it — but not to have anyone else touch it. So we took it to our mechanic friend who changed the timing if 5 mins for FREE (and also told us about how this is a common method for the smog guys to make money off unknowing customers). We then went back to this guy Jeff who threw a FIT because we had someone ELSE fix the timing. He charged us again for a 2^nd smog test which then miraculously passed. Shady way to do business and very rude and push to boot!

Fast, friendly and a fair price. Took our 2004 Grand Cherokee in for a smog test and was very happy with his service!

Quick and easy, the way it should be. He even helped out with some random DMV issues I had to clear up before I could test my vehicle. Thanks Jeff!

Great service, Jeff was great!

Very rude!!!
Watched him smog the vehicle and as he finished up we watched as the wiring under the steering wheel light on fire and start smoking, frying our stereo completely. He would take no responsibility for it even though there was never an issue with this prior to him touching the vehicle, and then he blamed us for it. I’m absolutely furious, AND I’m out $ 70.00 for a horrible job.
Extremely short tempered and horrible customer service skills (if any at all).
Do yourself a favor and find a shop with employees who aren’t rude and bitter.
I highly question the accuracy of his equipment, as well.
I will NEVER recommend this shop to ANYONE.

I called to get some information about a smog check and got a bunch of yelling and screaming at me and accusing me of who knows what! Then he called me back and continued yelling over the phone AGAIN! The guy was super rude to say the least. I would not recommend him to anybody AT ALL!

Totally great guy and great service. Worked closely with the tow company as to make my life easier. Got the job done, correctly, and in a timely manner. I’d send my friends there!

Guy was so rude. Got all pissed off about working on my European car and couldn’t figure out what to do. Said my car will mess up his equipment if my CEL comes on. BS! If you own a European car, don’t come here.

Fast, friendly service. Really nice guy. If you’re looking for a smog check in South Lake this is the spot!

This dude is great! He’s been smog checking my cars for 10 years and if a customer needs a smog check, I send them over too!

Jeff is the guy to go to if you need a smog check. Been in the business for years and years, he’ll get it done as quickly as possible. He’s also very friendly and positive and fun to chat with while you are waiting! I will come here for all of my smog checking needs in the future.

Jeff was Awesome. Took me right away and got the smog check done in less then 30 min. Good service and a smiling face. These are the businesses we need here in Tahoe.
