Smog Center Customer Reviews

DO NOT GO HERE!! I took my 2009 Chevy Traverse (only 95k miles on it) for a smog check on 06/25/24. He told me I didn't pass only because the catalytic converter didn't get hot enough. He said I should've drove it for 30 mins on the freeway before bringing it in to be tested. It was his responsibility to run the engine. FOR $65 I expect him to run my engine! He barely ran it! He didn't rev the engine at all. About 3 years ago, at a different shop, I passed because the engine was revved for a few minutes (the wheels were sitting on rollers too) . This guy that failed me didn't even have rollers. Plus there are many shops that charge much less than $65 (google it... you'll see places at $30). And this guy wanted to charge $45 to retest. More expensive to retest than to pay full price for initial test somewhere else.

I showed up without an appointment, they took care of me quickly, friendly service, reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Quick to answer the phone, and no appointment needed. Was able to get in and out in less than 20 minutes. No complaints at all. Will certainly visit again in the future.

Came for the routine check. Was told it failed because it couldn't communicate on ODB2. My own scanner tool communicates just fine and checks codes as it should. Trusted mechanic found no problems. No advice, no recommendations, no attempts at trying to get it to work.

Terrible business. I had an emissions recall completed exactly a week ago. I did not drive enough miles to reset the computer ( which I was not aware of ) they charged me 73 dollars to fail me. When I had another business complete it for me that day I called smog center back to ask about the scanning and they said it would be another $40 recheck fee and then I would have to pay for the certificate. These people are a scam and take advantage. Do not use them
