I bought a smog check certificate through Groupon, and even though they're 30 miles away, the super fast service (never a wait) and friendly employee (blanking on his name) was quick and efficient. My smog check was done in about 20 minutes, and the results immediately uploaded to the California DMV for registration renewal, . They're good enough to take both of my cars there and well worth the 60 mile round trip. Their rates are about half of what they are in Palm Springs. read more

I brought my 2004 Ford F250 in for a regular smog check. During the smog check, the inspector, Joshua Zamora, claimed that my catalytic converters were illegal/tampered with due to them being welded in. He also tried claiming that my O2 sensors had spacers installed. I told him they are from the factory and have never been tampered with. Lots of trucks have welded catalytic converters, and that he needs to check for a CARB number before he makes an accusation like that. He then went back and found the CARB number, and confirmed no spacers on the O2 sensors which tells me that he never even checked for it in the first place! He found the CARB number on the catalytic converter and passed my truck, but an accusation like that purely because my catalytic converters is welded in is BULLSHIT! I then stayed silent until the transaction was complete and I got my paperwork, and then I respectfully told him that he needs to confirm stuff 100% before he goes and makes an accusation like that, especially because HIS OWN INSPECTION proves him wrong, and he had to double check when I told him to look for a CARB number. I then told him that I have no problem filing a complaint with the state ref's office and the BAR because of this. Joshua then got pissed off and started talking a whole bunch of nonsense and talking over me whenever I tried to talk, and so I decided to leave. He then followed me out of the building yelling at me, and eventually came to my window still yelling at me, while I just ignored him, and I pulled out and left. I called my buddy at the state refs office and filed a formal complaint. I also called the BAR and filed another complaint. Enjoy yourself Joshua. You should learn how to do your fucking job because your claim that you were "just doing your job" is bullshit. Take your cars somewhere else. Almost $80 for a smog check and I get fucking hassled by a guy who doesn't know shit. Never coming back. I included a picture of my PERFECTLY LEGAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER. There's no law against them being welded Joshua! read more

Banning Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Banning, California

So I just spoke to someone at this establishment. I asked their hours, if they had time, told them I had a Groupon and that I would be there in 30 mins. I show up and he is CLOSED. AT 4:30pm. Before his 5pm closing time. Not answering the phone. Voicemail is FULL. This is the most unprofessional situation! I called the next day to find out what happened. He did not apologize AT ALL. He told me. TO COME EARLIER BECAUSE HE WAS HELPING FAMILY MOVE. I want my Groupon money back! read more

Went in for a smog check . 10/10 Josh is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. read more

Fast service. Very kind and I was able to buy a groupon to keep the cost down. Affordable for sure!

Fast, efficient, polite, and gave me a discount! Highly recommend. Small waiting room with tv and fans to keep you cool.

Called after finding this place on Groupon. Didn't need to purchase the Groupon as he honored that price. I was in and out in 10 minutes for a smog check. Can't say enough about this place as it has been the fastest and easiest smog I have had. FYI there is a $2 for card so take cash. Otherwise anfreay experience read more

Banning Smog Check - True - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Banning, California

Very quick and great service. I've been here twice and the owner is always very helpful. Highly recommend them.

If I can give this place no stars I would in a heart beat. Walked in to get a smog and owner of the shop was higher than a kite. Didn't say anything and just asked for my keys . Got aggressive when I would ask questions to see if my vehicle was even ready because I just got a new battery since it hasn't started up in over 2 years. Overall garbage service. read more

Great spot to do a quick smog check. Good customer service and a fair price. Will go back again................................................................... read more

Good prices and also matches coupons from smog places... Fast and friendly service...

Deceptive Pricing.... Shop tacks on a $10 labor premium if your vehicle weighs over 4600 lbs. I think a Honda Civic weighs this much. read more

Fast and honest service, at a fair price. Getting your vehicle smogged is an inconvenience, but at least you won't spend half your day going to this shop. read more

Great service, great prices and fast. Ill definitely be back. They are very nice too, clean waiting room. Ill be recommending this place

Had a great experience with Josh at Banning Smog this morning. 10mins and I was done. He let me know there's a DMV Kiosk around the corner at Albertsons to finish my registration, just have to wait one day for the DMV to process my smog digitally and I can go pay it at the Kiosk and it gives me my sticker read more

Banning Smog Check - 350z Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Banning, California

A1 services , was in and out with quality service and respectful tech . Will definitely be back and recommend to others .

Got a smog check at a reasonable price and it was even better because there was a discount on Groupon which they will honor and you just have to show them the picture and they'll give you the same pricing. read more

Their website quoted $52 but when I got there i was quoted $62. When I told them of the $52 website price, they said they'd only charge me the $52. It took less time than i expected which was great. But, on the negative side, their location is awkward as its very close to the street and I felt a bit unsafe backing up after the smog check was done. I thought i would be backing up into the street. read more

The best & fast service and customer service was the best! I will bring all my truck's here for now on. Thank you read more

Honestly, I'm so so happy I found this guy. Trustworthy, professional, fast and efficient. This guy works hard and I can tell. I just got my smog done and I will always come here.

Keep supporting this business read more

Super fast process and really nice guy. Money well spent. Definitely bringing our other vehicles in and recommending Banning Smog Check to friends and family. read more

Unreliable, I went twice during store hours but they were closed both times. Also store hours listed on Apple Maps are incorrect.

Excellent service. Quick service, courteous, kind answered question. Price matched also.

Went in today for the first time for two cars and was met with hostility. My husband has a Turbo Optima with a blow off valve. The owner said our vehicle was going to fail. We told him it has never failed. He kept speaking over us and acted like whatever we would have said didn't matter. He even bet my husband money that it will fail at another place. That they've probably been doing it wrong. He said he would still smog my car. For why? How can I trust you? He claimed he was doing us a favor because he could smog us and have us pay allegedly knowing it would fail. That he had failed other cars for their blow off valves. He apologized many times after I called him out for speaking to my husband the way he did. We googled another smog place and passed. Our cars are legal. No one has ever gave us trouble and we've always passed at different locations. Moving forward I wish him the best of luck. read more

They should rename this place " Smog & Fog ". I stopped by here on Saturday Sept 7th to get a quote for smog. The main shop was closed but the smog bay on the far right was open. As soon as I got out of my car, I was overwhelmed by the strong wreeking smell of skunk weed pot. While I am not against pot use, I did have my small grandchildren in my car and even they were asking what the strong smell was. I had to lie to them and tell them it was a dead skunk. The only " Need for Weed " employee there was burned out of his mind when I tried to talk to him and his eyes reminded us of Dracula. He was baked ! Seems like an OK place to go to, just leave your small children at home unless you want them to get a contact buzz here ! read more

Needed a smog test and found this new local business. Business owner was quick to respond and provided great customer service and pricing.

Requested a smog check and got exactly what I requested. My old commuter takes about 15 minutes to run the test and I was out the door! I feel I got the most value for my dollar.

I was greeted and payed exactly what i was quoted i was in and out . i would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a smog!

Don't bother visiting if you have any type of protection on your catalytic converter, they don't have proper equipment to check. They don't ask you before hand about any modifications but will surely take your money and FAIL you. Don't worry, I went some where else with proper equipment and PASSED! I am sorry but with the catalytic thieves on the rise, I have to protect myself...you should too, and go elsewhere. read more

I was looking for a smog check that was reasonably priced with good reviews.

Bad experience. Don't let photos on this business fool you. Inexperienced smog tech will try and take your money. Just don't recommend it tbh. read more
