HAIG AUTO SMOG ESCONDIDO

Called ahead of time because I have an old car and some places don’t want to deal with them. He said sure, bring it by. I head over immediately. One nice older couple ahead of me with a brand new car.. no problem, should take a half hour tops. Sat there for an hourin the hot waiting area with no AC. I hear all the additional charges he tacked on their smog and start to worry ($69.75 advertised on the wall - they paid $140!) They leave. I’m next. Or so I thought. Without a word to me, he takes the guy that came in a half hour after me! I ask him what’s up and he says something about the machine not working with older cars. I’ve dealt with plenty of smog shops, registering dozens of cars. This place is the worst.

Quick, efficient SMOG. Then I had a mess of paperwork to register the same car at DMV. I was dreading the lines and hassle. He explained the problem to me and had the problems resolved. Again, fast, accurate, and that added maybe 10 minutes. I walked in with a mess and I walked out with a SMOG and my car registered.

Very satisfied with the service. The main attendant is polite and helpful. I previously went to another smog shop and the lady at the other smog shop was not pleasant to speak with so took my business with Haig Auto Smog, which was a good decision since they are a one stop shop..besides the smog I got my vehicle registered and avoided the DMV so happy about that ... very quick service as well, will be coming back in the future...

This guy said he could get all the paperwork submitted to get my out of state car registered- smog, vin inspection, registration submitted. After the smog (which took forever) he said he couldn't do the registration so I still had to go to the DMV. It was $125 JUST FOR THE SMOG!! I would not recommend this place at all.

We found them 4 years ago, and keep going back. Hard to find,yes, but the owner is honest and polite. Waiting area wanting? For an auto shop, not really, it's a shop, not a lounge. and the service is fast, so I have no need to be distracted by a soda machine, television or comfy couch. Makes you wonder about why the other places are so comfy? How long is the wait?

Adding after response- You're responding a year later, but I'd be happy to pull receipts to prove you did charge that much.

Why specify you are open at 9:30 when you aren't open until 11. Absolute waist of my time
