Travis and his mother (front desk) were very personal and allowed the "Ca Smog nuisance" to be a little more human. I brought in 2 cars and both were passed and left with Certificate in hand. Good news they were also within 1/2 mile of AAA cCorona so got tags right after. Thank you Travis and "Mom". read more

Called Smog Stop to see if they could smog my 1995 Jeep Wrangler since it's an older vehicle and most places machine for older vehicles are usually down, but they had their machine up and running and ready to go. They are appointment only, which I absolutely love! it takes the guessing out of how many people are going to be there, how long is it going to take, etc. We arrived 15 minutes early fully expecting to wait until our appointment time, but Travis was ready to go and took us right in. The smog test took about 30 minutes or less, but it passed and I couldn't be happier. Paid and was on my way. Thank you Travis! read more

Was in and out in roughly 15 minutes or so. There was nobody in line at this time. Recently priced for the going rates of today. Overall excellent experience versus the other places that I've gone locally. Not looking forward to going back again but looking forward to going back again. read more

Was referred here by the friendly shop next door (B and D Auto) when looking for a smog place that is STAR rated. Called and made an appointment for the same day. Was greeted right when I walked in and they immediately took my ride to the back. I chilled on one of the leather sofas and enjoyed their cat that was roaming around. I'm not really a cat person, but this cat was chill. LOL. My vehicle was finished so crazy quickly and I am very pleased with my service. Thank you Travis! read more

Once I got to this smog shop & spoke to Travis he made everything so easy for me. He's very knowledgeable!!! Travis & Rhonda are very nice people & I absolutely love that it's a family business.

I had a very pleasant experience here today! I didn't get her name, I wish I had but Other reviews said it was Travis's mom. She was hands down so sweet and welcoming, she gave me so much knowledge about corona that I would have never have known if it wasn't for her!!! Their shop kitty makes your time there even better! Super quick, easy, and an affordable visit! As soon as I walked in, he got down to business on my car. Im pretty sure I paid $55 for a 2012 ford sedan. I will definitely hope to come back there if I ever need a smog again! Thank you! read more

I went in for my usual Mobil 1 oil change that has normally cost me $89.95, only to suddenly be charged $130 -- over a $40 increase.

Wanting to verify that, I called three local auto parts stores afterward, and all confirmed that oil prices had gone up only about $1 per quart. For a 6-quart oil change, that's nowhere near the extra $40 I was charged. To be fair, the service itself was still quick and efficient as usual. But using current world events as justification for what feels like excessive up charging doesn't sit right with me. Loyal customers deserve honesty and fair pricing.
