Sunnyvale Star Smog Check

Bait and switch. Called and went in for $29.95 smog check. Upon arrival, gave the same story "the website is old, blah, blah". Tried to charge more than double. I refused to give into their false advertising and went down the street half a block to Quik Smog, no waiting, easy parking, and they even gave a discount when I asked. They should just update the site and be honest.

Had a good experience, its a very small place but got the job done quickly & cost effectively.

I made a reservation for a $29.95 smog test at Sunnyvale Auto Care, the station that hosts this smog check. Arrived on time only to find out the tech was at lunch and I was 2nd in line. Told I had used "old web site,: they had no record of my reservation. Then when they took my paperwork and saw that I required STAR certified test, the price went up to $39.95. Out the door was $48.20, probably typical for this service. Other than that, and a longer than expected wait, the test was done properly and I was on my way.

Website in the description says smog check price: $29.75. At the shop they charge $69 and about $9 per certification. P.S. Check out Groupon to find a $30 deal nearby.

***NOTE: Not open Sundays, despite online and on-location signage*** I was really pleased to see an easy-to-use online booking system on their website, so I made a Sunday appointment for my Smog Check. (The website not only listed Sundays in their hours, it also had Sunday Smog Check times lots available during booking.) I got a confirmation email shortly after, noting the time, date, and nature of the appointment. Lucky for me something came up a few days later and I needed to change my appointment, because when I called the guy said there was no way I could have a Sunday appointment because they aren't open Sundays. Plus he said they don't take appointments for Smog Checks at all, just come in. I went in and they have a huge banner out front that says OPEN SUNDAYS. I asked again and he said, nope we're closed Sundays (while standing almost directly under the sign). The Smog Check was quick but don't try going on a Sunday and probably avoid online booking entirely. Who knows where your appointment ends up. I see another review here from over a year ago that had the same issue with making an appointment online, so it's not a new problem. They haven't updated their website, their booking system, or bothered to take the banner down from out front - so maybe details aren't their thing.

This is the second time I've come here and the last! The first time, I came here for a 29 dollar smog coupon, and the guy refused it. He said I should have told him beforehand and charged me extra, nice bait, and switch tactic buddy. (That was last year) This time, I come in again with another one of their coupons for the 29 dollar smog. And he refuses to do it because I have a locking mechanism issue with my door. He said, "He couldn't do the smog test because of the door, and that they could get sued." It's a smog place bro you don't work on doors or change oil or anything... Save yourself the time you spend the extra 15 - 30 dollars going somewhere else.
