I went in expecting to wait, it took 5 mins. They are very friendly and out the door, my smog check was only $30. Great place to get your car slogged.

DO NOT GO HERE! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. The price you pay for the smog is based on the owners perception of how much money you have.



I looked up their coupon on their website and it listed the price of a smog at $30. I pulled into the shop and the person behind the desk asks me if that was my BMW that needed smog. I said yes and he said the price is $60. I told him I have a coupon and he said it didn't apply to "luxury" cars. I have a 10 year old BMW with 250,000 miles on it, Blue Book value of about $3,000. There were people waiting in the lobby getting their car smogged and I asked them how much they paid and they confirmed that they paid $30. When I asked the guy behind the desk why the price difference, he said because they do more stuff under the hood. I'm not a mechanic, so I called 3 other smog shops and asked the question if this is true. Absolutely not. They stick a sensor in the tail pipe. (which makes sense because they're measuring the pollution your car's making)



When I confronted the owner about this, his reply was that it was his business and he can price it however he wants. He did offer me a reduced price of $45 for my "luxury" vehicle. Bottom line, do not go. The owner sees nothing wrong with trying to gouge and rip people off with no reason or rational.

The worst, dont go , stay away. I hate bait and switch sales ploys. I went to this smog company two times with their coupon out of the Penny Saver with two different cars. Both times of course their coupon for a smog check was not for my type of car (mercedes, first time and Toyota, second time) However they could smog it for full price. $22 more than the highest price I could find in the area and $47 more than the coupon price. I cant stand this type of rip off service and I cant stand this rip off company.
