Clovis Smogs - Great location downtown Clovis - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Clovis, California

What I need in a smog check shop: - Fast and efficient smog check - Decent customer service - NO insane conspiracy theory and propaganda on the walls Well, I got one out of the three during my visit here. Fast? Yes! The smog check was very fast. Infact, by the time I dropped off my car walked to the coffee shop across the street and came back, my car was done. Efficient? Yes! I passed and they sent my info directly to the DMV for me. Decent customer service? Nope. When I arrived, they barely looked at me, said,"fill this out", handed me a clipboard, and walked away. On my exit the worker said, "You passed. Cash or card?" I had to ask how much? Do I get paperwork for the DMV? Do I get a copy and receipt? Couple the above with the insane COVID conspiracy signage they have in the window. I only noticed it on my way out, but it said "babies are born dead due to the Covid vaccine. Don't get the jab" WTF?, is this is a smog check station or a Christian Nationalist 4Chan site? Definitely, won't be back here anytime soon. read more

I would not recommend this place. Unfortunately they were my go to since they opened. Took a new car in, was failed and told my cats were bad, gave me no information on the smog referee like they did the man in-front of me, was told they needed replaced and that was that. Did my own research and found out my car was a federal car and does infact have the correct cats on it, I went back to them and brought this to their attention and was told that's not true and that he refused to pass my car just because ‍ he did end up giving me my money back, went to the smog referee out in Madera and passed with the cats they said were wrong. Don't waste your time, money or energy on this place. A complaint will be filed with the BAR and I will no longer send friends and family here. Totally unacceptable, unprofessional and uneducated on California protocol for SMOG After seeing the owners responses to others, I felt the need to update my review. Your technician claimed the catalytic converter was not CARB-compliant -- an assertion that contradicts the actual EO number (D-193-144, in case you need a refresher). This EO is approved by CARB for use in California on the exact application my vehicle falls under. Perhaps a refresher on how to verify EO numbers on CARB's website would be beneficial for your staff? Furthermore, per the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) Smog Check Reference Guide, technicians are required to verify EO numbers and confirm proper application using the ARB database, not assume based on visual inspection alone. Falsely failing a catalytic converter -- especially when all documentation and labeling are present -- not only reflects poorly on your professional integrity, but may constitute a violation of BAR's Smog Check regulations. In addition to causing unnecessary inconvenience, I was also forced to take time off work, pursue an additional inspection, and waste my own resources to correct your mistake. I have since had my vehicle properly passed by a more competent smog check station -- one that understands how to follow California emissions compliance protocol. Should you fail to acknowledge and correct this issue -- and continue misinforming customers or issuing improper failures -- I'll have no choice but to file a formal complaint with the California BAR, under their complaint process: https://www.bar.ca.gov/consumer/complaints I'd also be more than happy to share my experience on public platforms, so other California vehicle owners can be aware of these practices. If your business is interested in maintaining its BAR license, you might want to start by training your employees to verify EO numbers correctly -- instead of guessing. 1. Catalytic Converter Misjudgment - Your technician failed my car for a catalytic converter issue without meeting the BAR criteria for failure. Under California Code of Regulations, Title 16, §3340.42, a converter may only be failed if it is missing, modified, or flagged as defective by the OBD II system. My converter is present, unmodified, and not flagged. 2. 2008 Federal OBD II Standards - Because my vehicle is a 2008 model year federal car, the proper inspection rules are clear: * Only one readiness monitor may be "not ready" (per BAR Smog Check Reference Guide, OBD II section). * A vehicle cannot be failed solely on the basis of non-critical readiness monitors if this allowance is met. * The Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. §7522) prohibits falsely representing a vehicle as non-compliant when it meets federal certification standards. read more

This was my first visit to Clovis Smogs. I am always happy when my car PASSES the test. They have a nice waiting room with coffee pods and a few snacks. The whole place has a very strong patriotic motif. Customer service was great and quick. read more

I went in for a smog check today. Service was very fast. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. I had a hybrid like vehicle and they were able to run a smog check without any issues. I highly recommend them! read more

I've been going to Clovis Smogs for the last several years, this business has always treated me well, they are fast and efficient in their work, and are always Professional. They have a nice little Air Conditioned office that always has the TV on, and they provide free Snacks and Coffee for their Customers. As far as cost for my Smog, I paid $63 with my Veterans Discount which is in the middle of the road, there some cheaper and some more expensive, but the Value is in their Expedience, Facilities, and Professionalism . You're in and out pretty quick, and have a nice Cool place to sit and have a Snack while you wait.... I bring all of my Vehicles here, and highly recommend them!! read more

Wow, super fast friendly service. Was in and out of there on a busy Friday morning in about 20 minutes.

Friendly honest service. My car wouldn't pass smog and I didn't get changed. They even have snacks, coffee, and tea. Highly recommend.

I was in and out in 15 minutes and they even sent the information directly to DMC had my annual sticker in days. This is the third time I've used them and it's always been a great experience. read more

Fast and friendly smog service. I got here first thing in the morning and they were open a little early; there was already someone ahead of me. Took about 20 minutes for that person's smog check to finish, and about another 15-20 for mine. Employee wasn't chatty but was friendly and got me in and out quickly. The waiting room was comfortable and there were snacks and some drinks. Is there a lot of crazy MAGA crap on the walls? Yes, but I'm reviewing this place on their service, which was fast, friendly, and fairly-priced. My car passed smog, so I can't speak to how great the experience would have been had it not passed, but I did notice they provide DMV services for a fee, which is a fact I've tucked away for a later date. I'll continue coming here for my smog checks as long as they remain quick, efficient, decently friendly and relatively cheap! read more

I have gone to Clovis Smogs for years. Quick, frientdly, professional. The DMV services save so much time going to the DMV. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Love the Patriotic decor too. Thank you for great service, prices and saving me time and trouble. Anyone giving a bad review must never have actually gone here. Go elsewhere then. read more

I love the fact that the business reflects patriotism to our country and God. They're very professional and courteous. You can take care of all your needs in one place, smog and registration. They provide a comfortable atmosphere for you to wait if you need to, complete with snacks and coffee. It's just a good place to have your car smogged. Great location, fast and courteous service.. they did a great job. Thank you. read more

Quick and easy! Thank you for the help & helping me get my smog done so quickly! Customer service was great also!

Clovis Smog is awesome !! My family has been going to them for years and they're always quick to schedule me in.

Good friendly customer service! Also Vet owned. Would recommend this place for your smog service.

The waiting time was relatively short. I was worried that the car wouldn't pass, but it sailed through! I thought the price was a good value. read more

My car also failed, because, "It wasn't ready". I asked why it "wasn't ready" and was told it had recently been worked on, or the battery had been disconnected, or it had been sitting for a long period of time. None of this was true. It hasn't been worked on in a year, I would have known if the battery had been disconnected and I drive it everyday. He then charged me $56. I called another smog place and was told that they don't do that. If your car isn't ready, they don't charge you; they stop and inform you and give you a chance to correct the problem. read more

Fast, Friendly, and I was in and out. Thanks, Clovis Smogs! I will definitely bring my business here again.

I have always used Clovis Smog and found the people there to be friendly and helpful. I took my 2015 Honda in for a smog test and after about 30 minutes the young man informed me that my car "wasn't ready" and did not pass the inspection. I asked what "wasn't ready" meant and he said that because my car had been sitting for a long time and not driven and I had had a battery disconnect and I had recently had my car worked on by a mechanic, it " wasn't ready". I informed him that I drive my car every day, and the battery had not been disconnected and I had not been to a mechanic for my car in over a year. He replied, "that's strange" and added that the charge was $56.75. Why didn't he stop when the car told him, "not ready"? read more

Customer service not great. They're not mindful of the customer needs they've lost their home town touch. Especially being in the old town area I've used thier services for the last several years for a smog with no issues. Thier prices went up quite a bit. The gentlemen didn't seem to care I was a returning customer. So I was able to find a business near that was more reasonable for the same service and was very accommodating. read more

We take all our vehicles to Clovis Smog for emissions testing. The quality of customer service offered there is always outstanding. During the wait, they offer complimentary coffee and snacks in the lounge. Even without a prior appointment, we are always quickly and efficiently served. The service is immediate without any wait time. I always recommend our friends and family to go to Clovis Smog. read more

Pretty busy there (went on a Saturday) but they are really quick. Friendly staff and located in an easy to find location.

Just got van smogged, staff very friendly, reasonable wait time, and a very comfortable waiting lobby with snacks and coffee.

One star for this business, as I walked in and the person working didn't look up for several minutes, or even acknowledge that a customer had entered. There was a "Recall Newsom" petition in the middle of the room, and I decided their poor taste in politics would be the reason I take my money elsewhere, and walked out. Gavin Newsom was an awesome mayor-and in my opinion-the best San Francisco has had (I have lived there for over 25 years). The City was clean and efficient while he was in office, and I was very happy with his work. I loved watching him wipe the floor with Ron DeSantis during the debate. Wasn't that fun? It sure was. Republicans can't debate to save their lives. I'm not sure what Clovis Conservatives are thinking. No Republican has ever balanced the budget. Climate change is making it so that many businesses will soon be impossible to insure, let alone plan or budget for. Yet they'll happily be led nose to ass by Faux News to the slaughter, repeating the same stupid mantras over and over. I suggest Clovis Smogs keep their political views out of their business identity, as I will now be making sure friends and family steer clear. And since these friends and family are educated, we're all employed with money to spend. I went down the street and found an alternative Smog Shop off of Barstow, which was fast, fairly priced, and made no mention of things that would best be left out of a smog business. Especially since those things are such an embarrassment now, and will be even more so looking back. **** 06/27/2024 -Update to my review- I'm leaving the original review above and adding the below as a response to the business owner. Thank you for writing back, as it is obvious that I made the right choice taking my business elsewhere. To answer your inquiry about the Newsom signs outside-of course I saw the signs. But, I was willing to put politics aside if it meant I went to a business that does a good job, because my political views aren't my personality. However, my time is valuable, and I won't stand around unacknowledged, waiting, when I'm not even sure if I can be seen. I did go in, I was ignored, and that's what prompted my review. I originally found your business on Yelp and it was highly recommended, which is why I attempted to stop in. As I said, my political views aren't my personality, and I'm capable of visiting a business simply to receive service. See, in San Francisco, we believe acceptance of others. That's why people of all stripes live there. Meanwhile, MAGA is all about only thinking only one way. Not everyone is Christian, and we understand and celebrate that in the Bay Area. We help people. We love others. It was being ignored and having my time wasted that truly cost you my business. I didn't mention anything about vaccines or masks, that's your narrow viewpoint showing. I will also point out that Gavin Newsom hasn't been the Mayor in San Francisco since 2011. Current San Francisco isn't anything like Faux News is telling you, but it's still been 13 years since he was in charge, so he's certainly not responsible for anything you claim. It's like when a Republican causes a recession that then plays out during the Democrat term that follows. Things take time. Since you brought it up, I'd like to ask, do you hang out in Calwa? Actual San Franciscans don't hang out in the Tenderloin. It would be like me saying Clovis is a ghetto because of Calwa. It's not really the argument you think it is. If San Francisco was actually dangerous, housing prices would be dropping. They're not. But please continue to think San Francisco isn't nice. We don't need your negativity there. read more

Great friendly speedy service, always a pleasant time when I return to clovis smogs! Even when the place looks busy they get you in and out of there. read more

Better customer service. Called to request information about a catalytic converter and smog check but they were extremely rude.

I went in for a smog check after moving back to California. I walked in and was checked in fairly quickly. All I had to do was fill out my vehicle information and I was about third in line. The whole process took less than 45 minutes but I had a very pleasant experience. The wait area was very nice and customer service was great. I think for the service I got, customer service, and environment it was money well spent. I would definitely return again and would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Walked in on a Saturday morning right at 0800. Several people were already in line to receive Smog and DMV services. The young man who manned the front counter (I wish I got his name) was very courteous, friendly and efficient. He was handling DMV requests and was able to get the completed smog customers out of the door in a timely manner. The rest of the team was professional and handled everyone's vehicles with care and caution and care despite the smaller parking lot space to navigate the amount of cars / trucks. The interior space was becoming a bit cramped due to it being very cold this morning, but there was ample seating space for everyone, complimentary coffee/ water and snacks. Clean, tasteful decor gave it a very local "small" business feel. Clovis Smog is THE smog location to have all your smog AND DMV needs under one roof. One of the most well run smog and businesses in the Fresno / Clovis area. Price is in line with what you'd expect at any smog facility. However the local/family feel is well worth the price should you find them the more "expensive" than other places. Highly recommended will be coming back for the rest of my vehicles. read more

Service was amazing ! we had 4 people ahead of us and we were in and out in less than 30 minutes. They offered little snacks , water coffee with comfortable seating and a tv so that's good .Smog is cheap with good service. read more

Stopped in to see if I could get a same day smog check, they were able to get us in and out in no time. The woman that helped us was very friendly and helpful. This place has a great Americana touch. This will definitely be our go to spot. read more

I had such a great experience going here they gave me the best customer service I've had from any other smog shop .

I came here on a whim, I just googled a place near me at the time and this popped up with good reviews so I came in. They were busy, but they went through all their customers really quick. They had snacks and coffee and drinks with tables and it's small, but it was fast, the guy did what he needed and got me check out and I think I found my new smog place from now on. Super simple process. read more

I got a renewal for my tags but then I saw smog I was 'oh no' because I didn't know a place or where to go. I did some searching and went on Yelp and saw this place with great reviews. I called yesterday I thought I had to make an appointment but the gentleman that answer says they are quick and easy. (Before I moved here I went to a smog in my hometown and took forever you had to make appointments so I figured it's the same everywhere). He told me what time they open and just come in go to the section to smog. I arrived around 9:30 I believe. I went in there there was a person being helped it was a cute little environment very cozy. It was quick easy and the gentleman at the desk talk me through it. He offered me snacks and coffee. I asked if I can be called when it's done because I wanted to look at the shops (window shop) I want to say it took 20-25 mins? Before I made a loop leading back to the business before I received the call saying my vehicle is ready. My car is parked backwards & ready to go. I go in they gave me my paper work and boom I'm done! Will recommend to my co workers and friends! Thank you! read more

The prices here are outrageous. A smog check shouldn't cost 60+ dollars. I walked in, and it looked like a damn political headquarters. I'm sick of politics and you shove it down peoples throat. Unappealing. read more
