This place was the first thing that showed up when I was searching for a smog check spot. I decided…read moreto stop by since it is close to where I live. Smog check comes out to be $78.20 before the coupon (including the certification). While I was waiting, I found a $40 off coupon on their website so I showed it to the person that was helping me. I was aggressively questioned as why didn't show the coupon right in the beginning. He then told me I would have to reschedule since it has to be a physical copy of the coupon. I had to point out the coupon says "printed or mobile". There must have been some misunderstanding because who shows a coupon before paying??? Despite the unpleasant questioning, the service was fast. If you are also coming here for a $38.20 smog check, make sure to present the coupon like your life depends on it.

I had a great experience at Smog Check Escondido thanks to John's outstanding customer service. I…read morecalled ahead and John let me know there was only a minimal wait and told me to bring my Nissan Rogue in for a smog check. About 15 minutes later, I arrived and he kindly greeted me, took my keys and paperwork, and clearly explained the cost upfront, which was very reasonable at $60. John was friendly, professional, and had a great attitude the entire time. He told me the smog check would take about 15 minutes and invited me to wait inside the building. He was absolutely true to his word -- 15 minutes later he came back with all my paperwork completed. What really stood out was that he also took the time to point out a recall related to some wiring on my vehicle and recommended I contact Nissan to have it checked out. I truly appreciated his honesty, attention to detail, and professionalism. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Highly recommend! Smog Check Escondido is a step above the rest!

After a lot of Yelp research, I found Escondido Auto Tech. I brought my vehicles for a smog and got great service each time. Found them easy to work with too. Next, I brought in my car for maintenance and a list of repairs and items to check on. Let me not bore with the mundane details, just know: -they took good care of the car, addressing every item on my list. -Frank, the service manager, took the time to discuss the list of repairs with me and explained what they would do-to make sure we were on the same page with everything. He listens! In fact, when he received the list (which I'd emailed ahead of time) he immediately spotted a safety issue and reached out to me to get it addressed promptly. -they finished the work AHEAD of the promised completion time -took the trouble to score parts at a lower price than quoted (and passed on the savings!) -provided a detailed completed work order with information I about my vehicle that I found valuable. Like I said, call me a fan!
