EP Smog definitely has a repeat customer in me!! Eric is a one man show, gets work done in a timely manner and does everything he can to make his customers happy. I had to have my catalytic converter replaced, which is not a cheap repair. Eric did amazing work, provided reasonable pricing, and referred my to a government program that helped pay for repairs!! He is a Blessing and I will definitely refer him and his quality work!!

Eric is awesome. My go - to place for smog tests . He is very professional and loves what he does and is extremely knowledgeable. For those who don’t know he also does other car repair services as well and his prices are very affordable.

“YOUR ONE STOP SMOG SHOP!” Don’t waste your time going to a smog station that doesn’t do repairs, or doesn’t weld, or this or that! JUST COME TO EP SMOG, HE DOES IT ALL!!! Messaged EP SMOG last night through instagram about bringing in my car in for a catalytic converter to be welded in. He was very quick to respond, and also when I got to the shop this morning to have the work done, he welded it up quickly within an hour and I was on my way! Great service, quick service, and friendly guy! A+++ 🤙🏼

Weird to say I love a smog station, but I really did love it here. Why? Got right in and out. Adrian was super nice and a delightful person. No one looks forward to getting a smog check, but if you have to get a smog certification, definitely come to this location because they’re quick & they’re nice.

I looked around various places to find a place to do my smog test. I called one place that didn’t have any info online other than address, and he wanted to charge me $60! He said it was $10 more for being a pickup truck. Really? I looked online closer the next day and found EP Smog. They had a coupon to print out and making an appointment took less than a minute. Seriously. Less than a minute. I just came back from there and in the end I got my smog done out the door for $40! And the best part? It was fine in less than ten minutes. I was in and out of there. As I was leaving I saw a Navy flag hung up proudly in the garage area. A veteran to boot? Hell yeah I’ll be back here in two years. Great customer service that values my time. And a veteran. Yeah I’ll definitely be back to support this business.

Eric put new break pads and break fluid on my car, and I was very pleased with the work he did. My breaks runs smoothly again! Great work. Def. come back for more repairs. Eric is also fast and efficient when it came to my smog check. Update : August 19, 2019 Today I came back to Eric shop because my driver side window dropped down and I had it replaced by him. Eric was fast and knows exactly what was wrong when I describe my window, which the cable snapped and my window was stuck below..

My go to place to smog my vehicles. My ‘96 Mitsubishi Montero needed smog and with the car being that old I couldn’t find a place with a dyno and the knowledge to deal with this car. I came across Eric and he went above and beyond with helping me pass the smog. Not only that, but his prices are very competitive and his customer service is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Love this place! Not just the routine SMOG test, I met some quality folks, made some connections, and had a good time. Did what other SMOG places couldn’t figure out how to do for my specialty car. And, and, and...had chargers for your phone and coffee with flavors! Just go here!!!!

Eric is a fantastic guy, even thought I could not get my smog there this time, he was kind enough to explain everything to me and help me. He was respectful (to me and other clients while I was there), very patient and extremely honest. I would go back there for future smog needs. I highly recommend him.

Eric has performed smog checks on our vehicles for years. Excellent service, good pricing, clean facilities, fast response. In my opinion, the best shop in Escondido.

Great experience doing my smog check here, I have a very low car and most smog techs won't even inspect it due to that. But not here the smog tech was able to test and inspect my vehicle quickly and with no hesitation, also was very knowledgeable about cooling systems and told me that I needed to update my cooling fans because of low airflow that the small fans on my car do not circulate enough air. Consider me a customer for all my future needs.

This review it LONG overdue. We started coming to Eric a couple of years back. He has been so great. He's honest,helpful, affordable, and does great service. Just yesterday, we had to get a smog check for the annual registration renewal on our car. We showed up early, and he saw us 1st thing when he opened. I don't think we were there 20 minutes, and he was done and as usual for a GREAT PRICE (which my husband really likes😊). It's so hard to find a good mechanic, but we hit the JACK POT!!!!😁. Many more blessings for you and your business Eric, God Bless.

So glad I found this place! I always dread taking our vehicles in for smog. EP Smog is quick, easy, convenient, and reasonably priced. Eric is kind and professional. There is a comfortable lobby space to relax while you wait and chargers for your phone. But don't get too comfy, they'll get you out of there in a jiffy!

I'm new to the area, so I looked at the reviews for local Star smog check stations. EP Smog was near my residence & had great reviews. My experience was just as good! I don't think I was there 30 minutes total. With their coupon, the charge was more than fair. Great conversation & comfortable waiting area. I'll be back with my other vehicle.

I love this place. The gentleman, Eric, that’s always working the counter and the cars outside is so helpful and nice! Helped me out with diagnosing issues and had great advice on how to get my car to pass smog. He genuinely goes above and beyond for his customers. Also the waiting area is very nice! Magazines, water, and even phone chargers for any type of phone you have!
