My recent smog check appointment here felt surprisingly expensive. Other shops offered better rates. The young attendant seemed to inflate the price based on how I looked. His attitude was also quite unprofessional. I question how this business earned its top ratings. read more

I had to get a smog check on my vehicle. I asked the gentleman how much it would and he had told me 55.00$. I also had found a coupon online for 12.00$ off so i paid 43.00 flat. It'a was good service and very fast. He gave me a 10 min wait but it was much quicker. He sent the forms straight to the DMV so i can receive my vehicle registration . I highly recommend. read more

I called around looking for a reasonable deal for my '98 Rodeo. He offered me a $10 coupon (older vehicle) over the phone, bringing the cost down to $50 for labor and certificate. Got my car there ASAP and the service was courteous, professional, and price honored. The smog check was not long at all and I highly recommend any vehicle needing a smog check to go to Elias. read more

I had a great experience taking my car in to this place. I was immediately helped and was in and out in a flash. I found a service coupon online, so it was only $45 for the smog test, electronic transfer, and certificate. Without the coupon, the price was comparable to a lot of other places I called. read more

The overall experience was disappointing, especially with the way the service was handled in front of my potential buyer. I expected a professional, straightforward experience, but instead left feeling that the service was unnecessarily frustrating and uncomfortable. I understand that businesses set their own prices, but $70 is considerably higher than what I've found elsewhere locally. Based on my experience, I would recommend shopping around and comparing prices before coming here.
