As easy as can be. I pulled up, and was immediately greeted. He was wearing a mask and very friendly. I handed him my paperwork and he said it would take 5 minutes. He immediately started ruining the test. They have a very comfortable waiting area that he wiped down before I sat down. The garage is very open and ventilated felt pandemic approved. It was a great experience. Will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

Great place for a Smog, will always use this place in the future. Called in for a regular smog test, and he was ready to take me on a walk-in. Whole process took 10 min from drive up to leaving, and the car passed without issue. Great value at $50 for my 2013 Honda. read more

VERY pleased with this shop and will definitely come back again! Cabuto and BLU Automotive a few doors down are now my Go-To Auto-Guys! Both of these shops are extremely honest & easy to work with. Why someone would blame this place for charging them even if the car doesn't pass makes absolutely NO sense! That is the car owner's problem; the shop does the same amount of work regardless of the result. Besides, they offer a FREE re-testing within 15 days. So, there! I didn't have enough miles on my car after a major service from BLU and both shops were nice enough to advise me about when to do the smog check so it would pass. BRAVO CABUTO! I'll be back! :-) read more

Price was reasonable and everyone here is friendly and honest. They also provide services like dmv registration, transfer of title,etc (for a fee) I think it's pretty lame that the only other reviewer gave them one star because the station gave them a recommendation for repair. So what. People do much worse things and driving above the speed limit and lots of things are illegal, get off your high horse. Or become a cop if you're that uptight. I'm not even sure it's true, I know it's illegal for s test-only to perform repairs, but to give a recommendation? People should quote the exact law rather than just make accusations read more

I used this station years ago because it was my first time needing a SMOG test for my registration. The price was decent and came with a free re-test. My complaint was that I did not pass the test and the tech running the station that day gave me a business card of a repair shop to go to so I could pass on my re-try. What I did not know at that time is that referring a car owner to a repair shop is ILLEGAL for Test-Only stations to do! If I had know I would have reported them, but I did not realize it until my next smog check a couple years later. I will not be going back just for that. I don't do places that don't follow good practice. read more

ECO SMOG advertised a one-stop service, which made it the obvious choice to save time. I stopped by without an appointment directly after returning from Arizona, about 1.5 hours before closing. Dru initially informed me that there might not be enough time to complete everything since he already had other appointments scheduled. I understood and was completely fine with that since I did not have an appointment. There were a few cars ahead of me, so I waited about 15-20 minutes before it was my turn. Dru completed the VIN verification and emissions test on my vehicle. He then mentioned that the next appointment was running late and offered to fit my car in for the title transfer and registration so I could receive my plates and tags without needing to return. I was very excited to hear that, as it saved me an additional trip to the DMV or AAA. Dru was professional, efficient, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. It's clear that customer service is a priority here. The convenience of having everything handled in one place made the experience smooth and stress-free. While some other places may offer coupons for less expensive emissions testing, the value of top-notch service and genuine customer care is well worth it. The time saved and the quality of service provided made the experience far more valuable. Thank you, Dru, for going the extra mile to help me out. I highly recommend this business to anyone who needs smog services or assistance with vehicle registration. It was a great experience from start to finish.

I arrived to my appointment 10 mins early. Dru was very helpful, friendly and professional. He entered my car's info into the system, and once my car passed the smog check, everything was updated and entered into the system already so that when I pay my registration, the DMV (or in my case, AAA) will see that my car passed the smog test. In case the system isn't updated, I was provided with a hard copy certificate to prove that it passed. My entire appointment took 10mins altogether, can't beat that! Pricing was fair and affordable, depends on the year of your car. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a quick smog check station.
