Came in here with no appointment on a weekday. Another customer with an appointment came in and they let me know it would be a little bit of a wait. No worries at all just appreciate the communication. Gave us a discount which I don't even think they had to do since we didn't have an appointment. Will be returning here in future. Thank you guys. read more

Love this place! You just make an appointment you get in and out really quickly, is a good price, and they're friendly

As a car exmechanic from the early 90s, I worked for a shop that took care of their customers help them not take advantage of them!!... not a lot of shops like that around, but these people know how to take care of their customers!!!... highly recommend them!!! read more

My husband came in Saturday for a smog test and the service was so efficient! He did not have an appointment and was taken back right away. It took no more than 20 mins and the guy was very personable! Take your car here! Thank you! read more

Been smogging here for years and I've never been disappointed. They are helpful, fair, and fast.

I have been to this location several times and they were closed during their normal business hours. I called later in the day and a lady answered and said they were open so I went right over. Upon filling out the paperwork I noticed the price was higher than what was on their website. I mentioned this to the lady at the counter and she claimed in order to get the advertised price, the customer has to mention it. What? Seems like a shady business practice to me. All in all the staff was nice enough and they got the job done. Just annoying that I had to make several trips to see if they were open and the price discrepancy was concerning as well. Tip, call before you go and mention the advertised price. read more

Fast and Friendly shop. They offer good discount. Make an appointment before you go, it will make your life easier. We use Ripon Smog for all our fleet vehicle. Good vibe and the atmosphere is great. read more

Ripon Smog - Best Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Ripon, California

I am truly appreciative and grateful for the exceptional service I have received from this business. The hard working technician I believe her name is Michelle but I don't want to assume so. She helped me tremendously and ensured my vehicle was ready to smog after a recent battery failure. I will absolutely recommend this establishment. Exceptional service and value. Thank you again so very much. read more

Michelle is very through and efficient. I also appreciated the referral she made to repair an out of state catalytic alteration that didn't pass in Ca. read more

I had a coupon for this place I went there and the kid runnning the place smoggy my vehicle then I presented him a coupon when he rang me up and he says no you have to give me that before I start ???? What???? read more

I have been coming here for three years since Ralph Senior at Ripon Auto Repair referred me. It's a simple place, the people Ed and Tiffany (Ed's daughter) are nice and straight forward. I will continue to come and recommend them. FYI: You can make an appointment or walking in. Walking ins May to wait longer since appointments or first. read more

I came in to get my license plate replaced, I put it off for a bit because I didn't want to deal with the DMV. I saw an ad that they do replacements for license plates and tags so I was reprieved I wouldn't have to go to the DMV. The whole process took about 15 minutes, 10 minutes waiting in the lobby which I expected because I didn't make an appointment and then another five to get my new plates. I was amazed at how fast I got my plates and tags, I can't believe I put it off for so long. Also it was very affordable. I know where I'm going to get my car smoged next year! read more

Love how you can pay for your registration and get your smog done at the same time. Great customer service as well.

I've been taking my vehicles here since they opened 10 years ago. Always fast and friendly service.

A refreshing change! There's new management at this business, and it is wonderful and welcomed! The new management is customer friendly and responsive. They strive to meet customer needs by not even taking a lunch break. Brought my first of five cars in for smog in 2021... I'll definitely be back!!! read more

I meant to update sooner... I was contacted by Edward at Ripon Smog apologizing for the hole in their service. He advised they had added a bell system to help fix the issue. He also offered a free smog for the opportunity to make amends. I took the offer and was glad I did. I was able to use the new bell service and was assisted quickly. It put some faith back into their service. They took the time to apologize, work on the issue and try to make good. That is good customer service in my eyes. read more

Had my car smog here, it's open right at 8:00 not a minute late Took my car right away Was very clean inside of office The smog technician was very friendly great place for smog we'll continue to take my cars there read more

Been bringing my cars here for a few years and never had an issue until today. Apparently there is a new owner now and he does NOT honor the coupon that is on their website. He was super rude when I brought up the coupon and said "Well I'm the new owner now, and I need to update the website." Ok.. He ended up rolling his eyes and saying "I'll give it to you for $35." Which is fair, but still not the $24.99 that is online or on the coupons we would get in the mail. I understand prices go up sometimes, but not updating a website sounds like their problem, not mine. read more

I have been going for many years. But they never answer the phone, don't call back, and don't have the come courtesy to post at both the entrances that their taking a 2 hour lunch. Honestly you would be better to just work 5.9 hours on Saturday or get some extra help. The previous owner was better read more

It was 1:50pm on a Thursday when I received the dreaded vehicle renewal letter from the mail. Since I'm on my last stretch of vacation, I decided to hop in the car and go to Ripon Smog that moment to get'er done. There was one person ahead of me. At 2:20 pm, I was pulling back into my garage, with certification complete. Yes, it was that fast. I used the $24.99 coupon that comes in that monthly coupon booklet sent through the mail for a variety of different Modesto area businesses. Super quick, great price, totally easy. read more

I dropped off my 99' Silverado and went for a walk down to the river. The staff was nice, and I promptly got a call that my truck was ready.

We've had multiple vehicles smog checked here and it's always been a great experience. They also offer good deals online. Definitely recommend. read more

Amazing service! First car for my daughter. Smog went great and they did the title transfer right after. All took less than 45 minutes! The price was very reasonable and we were even given a discount. Will definitely be recommending to all my family and friends. Thanks Ed!! read more

Awesome people. Ed is great there and he makes sure to get everyone in and out in a very timely manner. Will continue to do DMV and smog items here since it is local as well as a very easy place to go to rather than the DMV itself or even AAA. A+ in my book! read more

office staff is very professional and super sweet! Definitely will be recommending this place to all my friend!

Hubby took car in cause Ripon Auto no longer does smogs, and he wasn't that impressed. Their website says that they also do registration and renewals, but the guy who was there said they didn't. Don't know if they really don't or if this guy just didn't want to do it. We went there cause the website says that they did registration and renewals and would of liked to get it done in one place. read more

Quick and easy service and they took care of everything I needed. They have good coupons for smogs if you look out for them.

Wow, why couldn't all my prior smog tests have been so quick and painless? I got my wife's car smogged last week. The ENTIRE appointment took less time at Ripon Smog than it has taken me to get just paperwork filled out at prior smog testing facilities. What a joy. I handed them my keys and smog paperwork, sat down to do some work on my tablet, and then I hear, "You're all done." I couldn't believe it. Highly recommend them! Clean facility, very friendly owners, and fast, fast, fast. read more

Excellent service and friendly staff. Great price too! I didn't have to wait for my smog. Owner is a great caring kind person.

Very fast and affordable. The entire process took all of 10 minutes from the moment I walked in to the moment I was back in my car on the way home. Pricing was upfront and reasonable, and staff was friendly. read more

Fastest, friendliest smog check EVER!!! I never thought I would wish I had more cars to smog but I do. Support a local business that knows what customer service is all about and is genuinely grateful for your business. I will never smog anywhere else. read more

Great service! In and out in 10 minutes. No joke. We will definitely be back with our other vehicle! I will recommend Ripon Smog to everyone. read more

Hate the fact that we have to smog here in the Valley but I am very thankful for Ripon Smog. Owner is great, he has great prices and you can get in and out in no time. A great no frills type of place. This isn't my first time here and I will definitely be coming back with my other cars. read more
