TRUST THOSE WHO YELP REGULARLY…read more.. I asked friends for recommendations to smog shops in the area, and got several great suggestions. Not only was Smog Central recommended by a reliable source, the attendant was nice, confident, and knowledgeable. He was doing the smog test, he was the cashier, and he had all the info to immediately answer my questions. Smog Central has THE best prices around (most shops were $60-$80 for my small SUV).

I came in for a smog check today because I had a coupon advertising a price of $31.75. Nowhere on…read morethe coupon did it say that certain vehicle types were excluded, so I expected that price when I arrived. However, when I brought in my Toyota C-HR, which is a small crossover/SUV, I was told the coupon did not apply to my vehicle and I was charged $41.75 instead (plus the $8.25 certificate fee). This was confusing because the coupon did not clearly state that crossover or SUV-type vehicles were excluded from the discounted price. The smog check itself was completed quickly, but the pricing felt unclear and a bit misleading. It would really help customers if the coupon listed all exclusions upfront so people know what to expect before coming in. Overall, the service was okay, but the coupon terms should be explained much more clearly.

I had purchased a Groupon for a Smog Check at Super Smog Escondido. Johnson immediately greeted me…read morewhen I arrived. I was the only customer throughout my visit and did not have to wait while he immediately began the intake process and inspection. Near completion, he mentioned that it had been a little difficult to read the numbers on my catalytic converters. This was surprising because, although my vehicle is a 2000, the converters were newly installed just a few years ago. I shared that I had bought my vehicle at an auction and afterwards learned it needed all four of the converters so...spending more than the car is worth.. I had new ones installed a few years ago. I have also had my vehicle smogged after the converters were installed, years ago. After completing the inspection and passing, I provided my Groupon to another Auto Tech while Johnson moved my car out of the service bay. Johnson instructed the other Auto Tech, if I was paying cash, it would be $10 (exactly) for my "8.25" smog check certificate". (I didn't realize this discrepancy until after I had left). Right after I had paid and after he had parked my vehicle, Johnson re-approached the service desk and explained that he needed to charge me an additional $10 because there was an "aftermarket service charge." I replied that I had read some of the reviews his business has received and mentioned that, in his replies, he often states for customers to refer to the terms of the Groupon. I then explained that there is nothing in the terms and conditions on the Groupon that mentions an "aftermarket service charge." He referred me to a sign under the service desk that showed a $10 charge for aftermarket parts, then he admitted it is not included in the terms on the Groupon certificate but that he would be adding it soon. He then offered not to charge me the fee "this time" but that now I would know for next time. Two stars for the fast, friendly service; minus three stars for the round up the certificate fee and the other surprise upcharges. Ultimately, I suggest you reconsider going to Super Smog Escondido if it would make you uncomfortable to refuse to pay incorrect charges ($10 instead of the $8.25 certificate fee) and other inappropriate charges that this business will likely try to tack on. Personally, I plan to not return. There are other smog inspection places nearby that are competitively priced and don't play these haggling, bait-and-switch games.

My minivan should've cost 69.95 to have it smogged, but he gave me a 10 dollar discount. No idea why, but I'll take it! He estimated 15 minutes and it was done in 15 minutes. Why the 3 stars? The office is filthy. Seriously. I know, it's a car shop but even a quick vacuuming or dusting would've made this place more appealing. I was only there for 15 minutes, but it can be a bit cleaner. With that said, I would return and would tell others about it.

My wife took one of our cars to Smog Depot #1 today for a routine smog test…read more The car failed the test and the guy that performed the test ("Mohammad") told her that it's a oxygen sensor problem. We own 2 of the exact same cars ("His &Hers") and I am very familiar with them. A problem with one of the four oxygen sensors would have illuminated a Check Engine light on the dash, which is a automatic smog test fail (before they even hook up to the machine). Final review to come. 4/17 Update: The reason that the car did not pass the smog test was because the the cars computer was not ready to be tested. This can be determined immediately when the test connector is plugged into the cars test (OBDII) port. Basically these scammers charged us $60.00 to tell us we can't test your car. They can now expect to be contact by the BAR (California Bureau of Auto Repair) regarding their shady practices.
