SmogPros

Pretty sure the smog tech knew THIS review was coming…
My first experience a few years ago was much smoother but I do remember the technician being rather bland and curt — not the friendliest cat at all.
Needed another smog on the VW and got referred here from my car dealership down the street
Yesterday I called and got a quote and told him I would be there by 4:30pm. I ended up getting there earlier at 4:15. Tech dude told me it would be 30 minutes until he would be ready so I sat and waited (ok, fine). I waited… and waited… and watched him do 3 smogs on the same car ahead of me and tinker around for AN ENTIRE HOUR. The guy next to me said it was his car ahead of mine and that it wasnt passing. I then saw the customer finally pay and the tech then took my keys and pulled my car onto the machine when all of a sudden he walks back to the other car, lifts the hood and starts tinkering around AGAIN!!!
WHAT THE HELL BUDDY? I decided to get up and walk over to personally see what was so interesting and as I stood there staring at the engine the tech then realized how unbelievably rude he had been and returned to my car for the smog WHICH ONLY TOOK HIM 5 MINUTES.
After a long day at work, leaving early to ensure I am on time and fighting traffic too — this kind of crap is not appreciated.
OVERALL: The technician is not friendly. The service is extremely slow. The price is decent IF you print a coupon.
I wont be returning to this location when my car needs another smog in a few years — or for any reason.

Up price to get customers in with coupons. Called and was quoted $ 59.95 for smog check. That’s $ 10 to $ 15 more than other places I called. They give you $ 20 off, but competitor gives you $ 10 typical lower price. This kind of marketing gimmick is a total turn off.

Incredibly helpful staff and very good prices. This was a great experience for me and I really appreciate the fast and knowledgeable service. I am very grateful to have found you guys

If you only take cars until 4:30, why do you advertise your hours as 8 – 5? Their answer (at 4:35pm) Come back in the morning. No thanks, their competitor down the block on Morena Blvd was happy to accommodate me and my 10min diesel smog check. Yes it cost more but I am more than happy to give my business to a nice family business that took care of me with a smile.

Staff is friendly enough and they’re quick but they’re a bit tricky on their coupons and advertisements. Be sure to read the fine print. I’ve tried several coupons over the last two years with a couple of cars and didn’t get the discount I expected.
Pass or free retest is nice though. I unfortunately had to do that once and it was nice to have the option.

49.99 — 20 coupon + 8.25 certificate = 38.20. Legit test only center.
I’ve come here 3 times so far. The first time I failed, but paid the 38 dollars. I came back and passed the second time and didn’t have to pay for the retest because I fixed my car within the 30 day free retest period. Then I came with my other car and passed with flying colors, again 38 using the coupon on their website. These guys are good and relatively fast (15 – 20 minutes per car).

This place is clean, with a waiting area, and very accessible, right off the I-​5 Freeway. With their online coupon, it only cost me $ 38 to smog my car (for transferring title to my name). They are open til 4pm on Saturday too, and Ricardo was very friendly and helpful.
There’s a Circle K across the street, and a Roberto’s Mexican place right there too.
I will keep coming back. You can’t beat this!
