This is the worst shop I have ever been to. They took 45 min to tell me they needed the part numbers for my "aftermarket" ignition coils. That were 3 years old, and the car had already been smogged since their instalation. Tried telling me that since my engine cover wasn't screwed down they had the right to look under it and charge me more because I had aftermarket parts. And they had to make sure they were allowed in California. And the price went from 40$ to 58$ to 68$ to 78$ and then after i requested an explanation for why it was taking so long and why the price kept changing they got an attitude and told me I could just go get ot done some where else. Duh. Worst experience ever.

Need a smog without all the smoke? Star Smig is the place. It won't win any awards for its ambiance, decor, or amenities. But you will not get the BS of unneeded repairs or shady upsells. Good place quick in and out, which is a plus, considering the neighborhood is a little rough. But low rent = savings to me.

They're quick and honest and reasonably priced. We take my suv 2013 highlander and our big trucks here. 2006 diesel Ford F150,1500 Dodge Ram, and my dad's RV. Great place to go.

I visited this place today evening for smog testing my car and they finished it within 20 minutes, two guys working there one Indian guy and a Mexican guy both are working nice. They charged me $58, I compare other places it’s every where around $50. Recommend 👍

Do not go here. This place messed up my sisters car! Brought it in for a simple smog, but for some reason they messed with the transmission and/or changed it to 4wheel Hi which lead to the clutch burning up. Technician or mechanic is not taking responsibility, so just go somewhere else to save yourself future money.

Came across this smog location, after reading reviews, and used this smog station based upon the reviews. I arrived on Saturday morning along with another customer about 10 minutes before opening at 0800. Speaking with the friendly customer who was ahead of me he mentioned how he uses this location anytime he needed a smog. He had kind remarks and he was correct the gentlemen completing the smog is a little quiet and does not speak much but I made sure to make him laugh and speak and sure enough he opened up! LOL, I will say I was satisfied and content using this location the process was quick and cost effective on me calling 3 other locations around the same area! I will return as others have , recommend based upon my fist time use!

Star Smog certified and quick. After explaining about the recent work I had done they suggested driving it around a bit before they could smog it. Once I did, they were able to smog it quickly and efficiently. They even went above amd beyond by pointing out an issue my mechanic had done wrong which I never would have seen. Friendly guy amd top notch customer service.

The gentleman here always gives me a bad time when I bring up the coupon price they advertise on google. Don't advertise the coupon if you don't want to honor it. He also gave me a hard time when I brought in my Prius because I had just installed a new Catalytic Converter ( prior one was stolen) and was insinuating the part was stolen. Rude and insulting. You're better off somewhere else.

This place was my go to smog shop in past years, but this year there was a different smog guy. Customer service is not a priority of this guys at all. Super defensive when I asked for clarification of things that ultimately, I had a misunderstanding of. Very obvious he isn't fond of a woman who has questions for him or one that hasn't attended "smog school" to have an understanding of the whole process. Let's just say...this will be the last $102 smog they ever do for my car again. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

It's not $36.99 on the weekends. Says in small print on the coupon you have to click on to even see it. He didn't mention it was going to be $78.00 before doing the smog. Guess it's my fault. Didn't know you had use a coupon. It looks like the advertised price on google. Only reason people come in is because of the advertised price of "cheapest smog in town". Read the small print people. He doesn't warn you

They charge 60$ for the test + 8$ for the certificate. If your car doesn’t pass because of minor things like the cars system not being ready they will charge you the 60$. And then charge you 40$ to retest plus the 8$ for the certificate. This place is pretty expensive. There are some places that do not charge for the retest so look into it before going. Or you’ll end up paying over 100$ for a smog test. The man was pretty fast with the test but was not friendly at all. Was rude. Ignored us when we asked him a question and seemed bother by us being there. Also, if you do go, Make sure to go early because they don’t go off of the hours on google. They like to close earlier than the schedule times. 30mins to 1 hour early.

Not trying to say they scam or lie. But they seemed the most expensive.. for cash only transaction. I get the fact that I own an older vehicle should not demand the cost of the service be so expensive. To the fact it would cost more for the test than the cost to register the car @ 136. It was explained that the test was almost double that cost...so I said no thanks as I hope you will too

Absolutely horrendous. Dishonest. Liars. They over charged me for a basic smog. Then gave me $25 discount for my second visit. I gave it to my dad and they over charged him and only gave him $10 discount bringing total to normal cost. We asked him to honor the discount they started giving attitude. Don’t go there
