They clearly do not need your business. And they do not believe in customer service. As one of the few Star certified smog check locations in the area, they will treat you like just another number. After my car failed due to a catalytic converter issue (which is expensive and takes TIME to fix) they wanted to charge full price for a retest. Their discount within 15 days is nice, but not possible in every circumstance. If there was a REASON for this, it was not made known to me. Just a bored and unfriendly person telling me no. No extensions, no negotiations, no explanations, no compassion. If they hadn't dismissed me so rudely, I wouldn't have had such a negative experience. I wouldn't mind paying the full amount of a new test (which I will have to do at another shop anyway) if they had explained why or at least pretended to be nice about it. If you don't mind being treated like just another inconvenience in their very busy day and you just need the service done they're fine. But I will not be back. read more

Circle City Smog Check - Their policies aren't even written in coherent sentences. "Free retest with in(sic) 15 days" isn't free! $30-$10 based on what? - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Corona, California

I was charged $125 for the smog check on my 1990 motorhome. When I asked the technician why the test was so expensive he said it was the price his boss told him to charge. I used to be a mechanic long ago and I went to school to get my smog check License (BAR97) I could tell the technician was having a hard time performing the test. His technique was very poor and my motorhome failed the smog check for the first time ever, and now I would need a retest. I was told that a retest would cost me an additional $40. So I called his boss. He and I had a well behaved conversation where I explained how overpriced his service was, but he clearly thinks his service is worth it and explained how he has to pass his costs on to the customer. Clearly, I had red flags going into this situation but I was in a hurry, and that's all an opportunistic shady business needs to price gouge customers. I recommend going elsewhere and do your homework, ask questions from lots of competing shops in your area. read more

Guy is super unreasonable and failed me because I didn't have the "CARB" sticker for my 50 state smog legal intake. Never in the 12 years of owning the vehicle have I been told I needed the sticker or been asked for it. I showed him on the companies website that it was 50 state legal and even matched the part numbers, but he still made me contact the manufacturer and have them give me a sticker which set me back two weeks. read more

Came in for a smog check using a coupon I found online. They did not honor the coupon ($31.75 + $8.25 cert) because I have a Mid-sized SUV, but offered me a price of $50. The price list inside the business shows $51.75 + certificate for ALL vehicles (cars, trucks, vans & pickups - no mention of SUVs), so $50 (including certif) is not bad. At least they had an air conditioned waiting area with a TV, and the technician was very friendly. read more

Great service all the time my no1 Smog place with great prices and fast in and out on the plus side they are open 7 days a week.

have used this smog check location for years. Seems to be moving into a bait and switch shop. Advertises coupon for 31.25 (plus 8.75 for cert) for vehicles 1999 or newer. Even called yesterday to verify coupon was still good for my jeep and was told yes. Arrived today and the gentleman working the counter told me it would be 60.00 because it was an SUV. No chose to stay as I was in a hurry to get this done, but did inform him about my conversation with somebody yesterday confirming the coupon. He informed me that I should have told him about the call earlier. So, it is 40.00 if you call first and let them know? Also got hit with a two dollar credit card fee LOL, so make sure you bring cash if you decide tibiae then. Coupon does not mention anything of SUV / Truck additional fees. Buyer beware. In the good side, they are always quick and very rarely is there a line. read more

Brought my vehicle in for a smog test and did not have to wait. Unfortunately, the car did not pass but this was due to it not being driven enough. The OBDII was not ready to test. I paid the fee and was instructed to drive it as much as possible to get the OBDII ready to test again. I brought it back within a week, and once again I did not have to wait. It passed and the charge was only $10 for the second test. I recommend Circle City Smog because they are conveniently located right next to the 91 freeway, usually no waiting, service is quick, and the owner is a friendly fellow. read more

Brought my truck here after failing a smog test elsewhere. Chris helped me read the fail report and understand why it failed, and what I could do to try and fix the issue before trying to replace my catalytic converter, like the other place told me.

Decent joint. There's a small waiting room with a soda machine and a video arcade game that probably does not work. Smog check for my car was $45. I have a 2002 sedan. Didn't need star testing. Originally, I went to the place across the street, with the sign that says $19.99 for a smog check, but when I went by, the guy said it would be $31.95 or something and 1 hour wait. What a joke. Then why does the sign say $19? Anyway, he kept saying something and I couldn't understand what he was saying because he was mumbling. Instead of trying to rephrase or speak clearly, finally, after the third time he said FEES. It was because of the fees and certificate/ paperwork for the DMV. Well, $31 is still pretty cheap for the smog check, why not advertise that price on the side of their building. So I drove across the street to this guy who was nice and got the job done in 10-15 minutes. Good times. read more

Used this smog center in the past for several other vehicles and service was good and friendly. Unfortunately the attitude from the smog tech is crap. Miserable should be left at home or get another job. This guy is killing the owners business. I don't understand why only 2 days past my re-test window and waiting 25 minutes for this guy to return from lunch and I get a bad attitude and " You are past the 15 day re-test window and I will charge you another $60. No reasoning or discussion, just a take it or leave it I don't care attitude. I asked can we work something out maybe split the difference but nothing but a byetch face and I don't care and won't do anything other than charge you again. I went back to my go to spot at Green Smog check in Norco and saved $10... Realize that most people own more than 1 vehicle ( so Circle City LOST 5 vehicles form me that would need smog checks in the future. This is how small business go under. read more

Yesterday I drove to Circle city smog check to have my RV smog. The younger gentleman working told me he cannot smog my RV because it's not the morning time. I noticed there were no other vehicles being smog and he was doing absolutely nothing. I don't know why he couldn't smog my vehicle. I bring all my vehicles to Circle city smog check and have never had any issues. The gentleman that used to work here was great. He was very respectful and accommodating and always gave me great customer service and respect. Today, I brought my RV to circle city smog to get a smog check. There was a younger gentleman working instead of the man who used to work here. He seems like he hates his job. He was very slow motion and looked irritated when I asked him any questions. I have a 32 foot rv and He seemed very irritated when I asked him if he can help me get out of the parking lot. When I'm ready to get any of my vehicles smogged again I will check and see if the other gentleman is working. If he is not working, I will go somewhere else. The proves was that I was in and out very quick. That was because there was nobody else being smog. Circle city smog would've got a five star review if I had the same experience I used to get With the other technician. read more

I was so glad to find a place to smog my older Toyota Camry. You know you need a special machine to smog your older Vehicles. Most of the time the other shop that I went to said their machine was down. But not Chris his was working great and I could take it down the same day without an appointment can't tell you how good it feels to have good customer service these days...I found a new smog shop. Thanks Circle City read more

They trick you with price My son and I went here last weekend. They have an ad for $31.75 but when all said and done my bill just for the smog was $49.56. They charge you for everything once they get your car up. Never bringing my car or families car here again ever. I would recommend discussing the price before you allow them to start to work on your car read more

I came in not knowing anything about getting a smog check with it being it being my first time. Chris was great help, lovely service and conversation. It was quick and easy. read more

This place is rigged. When he first took me in I failed cause of a minor gas leak and he was right then I got the car fixed and came back.When I pulled through there was a customer ahead of me and before he took me in he asked if I could come in the following day cause he had something do to and I said I couldn't. He then told me to wait and he messed with my car so a code could come up. Totally messed with my car so he could leave right away before closing hours. (My friend is a mechanic and he checked my car there's nothing wrong with it no lights or codes came up when he checked it.) He chargers full price even if you fail don't come here at all because if he has something to do he will turn you down. (After all retest is 10$) he will turn 10$ whenever he has something to do. He doesn't care at all. Worst place ever read more

Chris was a awesome technician, he was very knowledgeable and thorough. I am a repeat customer I have been here before and this is my first review here. read more

Fast and Friendly Service, also check for Discount here I mist it before going but oh well it happens haha

This place is a scam: quotes you over the phone for $40 (cash) $42 (card) to entice you to come in and when you get there, they tell you its $30 just to inspect and another $30 for re-test. Then they find every little reason to fail you so you can pay another $30 for a re-test! Don't go here, it may be convenient but its disappointing. Went to Riverside City Smog immediately after. I was in and out in 20 minutes without modification and passed. read more

If I could give this person who took advantage of my mother today 0 stars I would. We received a smog check at this place on 7/29/2018 to a delightful gentleman. Unfortunately, the vehicle did not pass smog due to a new battery being installed the same day (from Costco). The gentlemen's response was not to worry, put 250 miles on the car and bring it back within 20 days for a $10 retest. We thanked him and began the 250 mile journey. Today, 8/7/2018, my mother returned with the original receipt and information alone. She was told she had to pay full price for the smog retest. My mother asked why? As there is clearly a stamp on our original receipt with the other workers signature stating "One Free Retest within 20 Days", however he signed it to show he would charge $10. I have the pictures of this signed document. My mother just wanted everything over with, at this point he asks for cash payment only!!! He tells her in order to charge her card, he must charge an additional $2.00 for their credit card fee. This is so unacceptable and I will be sure to share this information on all streams and I will be back to possibly take legal action against their initial "One Free Test..." stamp. I do not like women being taken advantage of by shops like this. I have included pictures and I suggest going to any of the many smog star certified centers that are in the area. There is one across the street as well. Do not fall for their coupon. If they have any dignity they will apologize and honor their initial signed document. Do Not take advantage of people's kindness. That could have easily been your mother. read more
