Went here today to get my car smogged. The owner is super chill and is always friendly. I have been coming here for a couple years now and will never go to another place again. He helps you when you car doesn't pass smog and will guide you on why it didn't pass, but he won't fix the problem for you which is good. He is always so helpful and reliable.

He asked me to bring it in. I did a week later, he checked it at no charge, told me a sensor may not be working and he referred me to two shops.

First timer here and I brought the company car to get smog checked. This guy was extremely helpful and I can tell he's quick with getting cars in and out. Unfortunately the company car didn't pass due to the service light (not check engine light) being on and was throwing conflicting reports. He told me what went wrong and told me what I needed to do. I'll get the car serviced since it's obviously due for one. I'll definitely be back. Definitely would recommend this place. Update 3/1/18 finally passed! He got me in and out in 10 min.

Wanting to verify that, I called three local auto parts stores afterward, and all confirmed that oil prices had gone up only about $1 per quart. For a 6-quart oil change, that's nowhere near the extra $40 I was charged. To be fair, the service itself was still quick and efficient as usual. But using current world events as justification for what feels like excessive up charging doesn't sit right with me. Loyal customers deserve honesty and fair pricing.

Live in the Corona/Norco area. Stopped by two different places who wanted to charge extra cuz my renewal said "Star". Don't believe what they say cuz they're trying to rip you off. As long as you take your vehicle to a Star certified smog station you should not be charged extra. I took my vehicle to this place, the owner was straight forward, didn't charge me extra and it took less than 5 minutes. I really appreciate an honest business. read more
