    Courtesy water. Comfy waiting area.
    H T.

    Been to a lot of smog places, this by FAR is the best I've been too. Really thought out for customer experience. Really nice owners. Service was amazing. Value was amazing. Don't hesitate to come here.

    Loved the sitting area with water and shade.

    I'm so glad I came across this female-owned business! They truly go the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable--offering chairs, water, and shade while you wait. The service was quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. As a fun bonus, she even added bling to my valve stems! I definitely recommend Darling Smog!

    Cozy spot to wait

    Let's first speak of the frendlyness of each and every employee. Patrick's has very knowable…read moremachanice and the front desk underwrighters also can give you a great idea what the problem could be. Also, the quality of work is fantastic, well used cars things can go wrong, wee Patrick's stands behind all their work. Cost for work is very competitive in this marked, Patrick 's they call you back to see how everything. is holding up. Come on , only company I have come across that follows up how your mechanical problems are doing Not just once but two times. I would want to give 10 Stars

    I requested a quote through Yelp and my request was sent to multiple auto shops. I chose this…read morecompany based on location and called ahead to confirm they could do more than just read basic codes. I had already done my own diagnostics and knew the car was running rich. I had ruled out the upstream O2 sensor, catalytic converter (both new), MAP sensor, and fuel injectors. I explained all of this to Matt before bringing the car in. He assured me they could perform deeper diagnostics with their equipment. After dropping off the car, Matt called and told me they had "confirmed" exactly what I had already told them, and that the next step would be pulling spark plugs--for an additional fee. At that point, I decided to go elsewhere. What I don't understand is why I was still charged the full $85 diagnostic fee, plus a $4 hazardous materials fee and $3 shop supply fee. Plugging a car into a diagnostic scanner does not generate any hazardous waste--no fluids are drained, no chemicals are used, and no parts are replaced. There's nothing about a basic scan that would justify a hazardous materials charge. That kind of fee typically applies when disposing of things like oil, coolant, or other regulated waste, none of which occurred here. In the end, I paid $92, wasted time and gas, and learned nothing new. The most concerning part was Matt admitting he didn't even know spark plugs would need to be checked as part of further diagnosis.
