Super fast and easy!! This is my first time doing a smog check on any vehicle and this place was the closest to my house. I was very happy to see they had a coupon online, which I had printed out. Showed up at 9:30am as a walk in and left 20 minutes later. 100% will recommend this place and I will definitely come back! Definitely worth the price! read more

Super Smog Vista - Receipt - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Vista, California

Lady doing the service was super rude. I would not use this business again. Bait and switch on the Groupon.

On the plus side, they got my car in right away on the same day I wanted it done. There was no wait. The process took about 15 minutes. On the downside, I bought a Groupon. The Groupon appeared to save me a lot of money but when I arrived, that wasn't the case. They say to read the fine print. SUVs cost $20 more. That was fine. When it was all said and done, I saved about four dollars compared to the normal price. Not much of a savings, but better than nothing, I suppose. read more

Don't buy the Groupon coupon if u have an older car The lady was very polite but with an older car I'd go straight to a mechanic that can adjust it to pass inspection This was a waste of money for me read more

Complete rip off, paid $35 to Groupon, who would not give me a refund and was charged an extra $32 at the store for a simple smog check. Total rip off, stay away. read more

This place is a total scam... once I got there and after I had paid on Groupon they told me there was an additional $60 charge. I had already paid $35 to Groupon. They advertised the lowest price in Vista and Oceanside. I let them know I was quoted $55 down the road and they refused to meet or beat the price. After making me wait for 20 minutes. read more

This is the closest smog to my house so I had been here before and it was adequate. They have a coupon online for 25 bucks but charge extra for the certificate, extra for sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, vans, SUVs, and truck (seriously what kind of vehicle is left?). They claim to be the cheapest in Vista and a sign advertises 5 minute smogs. I attempted to get smogged around 11 am but they had 2 cars in the bay and no where to park so decided to try again later. I came back around 4. Still 2 cars in the bay and nowhere to park - they share a small center with several other shops.....when I say there was no parking it wasn't that they were all full, the center has no marked spots. Since it wasn't clear where to park, I stayed in the car pulled behind other cars so that I could move if need be but clearly was waiting in line. Someone did come behind me and just blocked another business but went inside. I assumed that they would still honor my place so didn't worry too much. The worker pulled a car in around my car that must have been complete and the customer drove it around me to exit so I was not fully blocking traffic. After waiting about 20 minutes with no movement of the cars in the bay, the worker motioned to me. I rolled down my window so that I could hear his request and he YELLED at me that I needed to back up because another car was coming in. I'm not sure why he felt the need to be so rude to me as I wasn't blocking traffic. I decided to leave and find another smog place....I got gas then went down the street where they were polite, efficient, and only cost 4 dollars more than the "coupon" with fees.....money well spent. On my way home I passed super smog and could see that I would still have been waiting. read more

Smog check service was ok, probably less than 15 minutes but the place needs a cleaning and the price is a bait and switch. Coupon says $24.95 + $10 certificate fee - however they don't tell you it is $20 extra for an SUV until it is done and ready to go, plus they don't tell you it is 4% extra to use a credit card until it is already rung up. Definitely cleaner, better priced, and more reputable places around town. read more

Rude customer service. Tiny parking lot without much direction on where to park your vehicle. Technician was absolutely rude as hell!!! She asked if they discussed the pricing with us. I said no. She must not have heard me because she then rudely asked "DID. THEY. DISCUSS. THE. PRICE. WITH. YOU." I confirmed that no they hadn't. She quoted me $80. I then asked about the coupon on the clipboard. She was all, "oh. Then it'll be $55" Will. Not. Be. Returning. Or. Recommending. read more

DO NOT COME HERE - Full scam. They sell a groupon for "Up to 63% off" - they charge you full price and then some In person. They know this, they have a script they gave every person that was there. Sketchy business that just wants to take money. Just go somewhere else. read more

The lady answering the phone can be more helpful and not hang up . I was trying to get some information before going in and I didn't even get a chance to go in read more

Called yesterday and they said their printer was down so I go today and their smog test equipment wasn't working. An older lady was very rude when I pulled up. Would not recommend this vendor. Poor service and unfriendly people working there. read more

Very rude staff. Lots of claims about bait and switch, and I tend to agree. I would avoid this vendor.

Confusing info on website - is it $10 more for a late model car or not? One coupon says yes, another coupon on the same page doesn't say that. Also, one reviewer here says they charge an extra 4% for credit card payment. I'll look elsewhere. read more

You get what you pay for. Great deal but the employees just sit around doing nothing and have zero urgency to get to your car. I lost 3 years off my life watching them loaf around before they decided to smog my car. Great for retired people who have lost the ability to detect the passage of time. Not going back. read more

Fast and easy service thanks for the fast service would definitely recommend friendly staff read more

Super Smog Vista - Pamphlet place - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Vista, California

Predatory business and advertising. Border line false advertising for prices. Small print up charges lead to a smog going from 25 to 85 dollars. Woman working there was a real cheeky peach. She was talking trash in Spanish to her coworker about all the customers. read more

Fastest smog check I've ever had. They were doing someone else's car when I got there but it was still crazy fast. Was also the cheapest price that I could find. Was definitely worth driving out to Vista for. Also, price was exactly as advertised. The coupon that says it's extra for sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks is wrong. I had the coupon for $24.95 so total cost was $35. read more

Super Smog Vista - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Vista, California

I've been a loyal customer of this smog shop in Vista. Up until now, I've had great experiences with a gentleman who I assumed was the owner. He's always been professional and courteous, which is why I've continued to come back. On one occasion, I interacted with a woman who performed a smog test without much interaction, but she wasn't rude, so I thought nothing of it. However, during my most recent visit, my experience was completely unacceptable. I called to ask a question about smog testing requirements for a truck that had a check engine light turn off after being driven. Instead of answering my question professionally, the woman on the phone responded dismissively and rudely, cutting me off mid-explanation, and then hung up on me after saying I should "take it to another mechanic." Wanting to resolve the issue, I called back and spoke to the gentleman, who apologized for her behavior. I explained the situation and told him I would come by in person. When I arrived, I intended to speak directly with him, but the woman immediately confronted me in an aggressive manner, falsely accusing me of parking in the wrong spot and then dismissing me when I tried to explain myself. She began berating me, making vague accusations about how I "was rude" on the phone without giving any basis or opportunity for me to defend myself. The gentleman agreed to handle my smog check and work with me directly, but while I waited at the edge of the parking lot to avoid further confrontation, the woman continued to mock me loudly in front of other customers. This was not only unprofessional but humiliating. I calmly asked her to stop and informed her I would record the interaction as evidence of her behavior. Rather than addressing the situation or asking me to leave, she escalated matters further by calling the police and falsely claiming that I had threatened her--which I did not. To Marco, the owner of this business: Your employee has already falsely accused me of threatening her, which is not only illegal but a serious and damaging claim. If you or your business attempt to further misrepresent me publicly, this will only compound the harm caused by her initial illegal actions. Dismissing this issue outright and simply taking your employee's side, as you have done in response to similar complaints in the past, will not resolve this matter--it will only escalate it. I urge you to take accountability and address this situation appropriately to avoid further consequences. I want an apology from your female tech. This was an incredibly disappointing experience. I've supported this business because of its location and fair pricing, but no customer should ever have to endure the level of disrespect, dismissal, and outright hostility I experienced. The actions of this employee don't just reflect poorly on her but on the business as a whole. If you're considering this shop, be aware that the potential to be treated unprofessionally by this employee is significant. I hope the management takes accountability and addresses this issue so future customers don't have to experience what I did. How the owner responds will say a lot. read more

so, I went to get a smog and was encountered by an angry woman who really seemed to dislike me from the start. i felt as though it was because i am a white guy, i took my business elsewhere, got a smog with no problem. I would not recommend this place at all! if i could give a lower rating i would! read more

Extremely rude! Called just to see what the wait times are just told me they're busy and it'll be a while with the worst attitude ever. By the time I could even say anything else she says "ok bye" and proceeds to hang up. I don't know what's her problem but horrible customer service. read more

Ben had me in and out, with kind and professional service! He is so hardworking and his place is always busy! Thank you!!!

Bogus! I showed up just before 5:30 and was told to wait in the office to be helped. then after a few minutes he came in and he refused to honor my coupon because it was "after hours" (5:35pm)....bad customer service! not someone I trust with my vehicle! read more

The service was fast and the price was good too. I got a Groupon for $16 and only paid for the $10 certificate.

I had a little rubber hose that needed to be replaced, which was seen on the visual but they charge me $70 for that and come back. I had to pay another 50 for five more minutes of their time I tried talking to the lady she was very rudeand kept talking over me and wouldn't let me talk read more

BEWARE....worker is a FRAUD. He will scam you. The guy seems nice but very sneaky on double charging people. I had a Groupon for 30.00for a smog test and he didn't want me to use he said he would give it to me for that price and the guy charged me double. If there gonna list it for 30,00 they should give it to you for 30. I didn't notice till I left and called him out on it on my way home. He tryed saying it was because I had a SUV. Which did not make sence at all. He charged me 60.00 I could have went to anyone else for 60.00 or less at regular price. He would not refund my money. Also if you look on Groupon reviews look at the MOST HELPFUL REVIEWS. Very bad. I wish I would have seen this. I'm filing a complaint on this guy and contacting BBB . He shouldn't be in business. read more

Super Smog Vista - The proof on Groupon. Owner is a scammer - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Vista, California

fast - literally I think it was done in about five minutes, certainly less than ten. No complaints! Paid price advertised on website. Employee was friendly and efficient. read more

yes it was fast and the guys were nice enough. But I had a coupon that said $24.95 and they did not tell me it was extra for my 'little' suv until after they charged my card. Also didn't tell me about the '4% convince fee' if I used my card! I spent less to get my RV smog test done at a different place. Chose these guys because of the coupon.....won't make that mistake again. read more

DO NOT GO HERE - OWNER IS A FRAUD I have owned my vehicle for 14 years & I have never been charged an SUV fee for a SMOG. The owner charged me the $20 SUV fee stating "it is in the fine print." When I pulled up to the business (dirty with trash bags littered in the parking lot) not a customer in sight, now I know why. read more

Called to see if they had availability and was told to swing by. The day I came it appeared to be a one man show so I had to wait to give my info. There were some chairs outside so I sat outside on a pretty day and was entertained by the kids that lived next door. I feel like I got in and got out in a decent timeframe. read more

My car passed the smog test, a professional technician would tell me I passed smog but fix this not fail me like a b!tch and I would return in the next 2 years but you'll never get my business again and I know a lot of people that will not give you any business either! read more

Very shady business model. First they tell you one price, then all of the sudden some other $20-30 dollars gets added on top. Doesn't worth any time or nerves. Avoid this place!!! read more

Not a good experience at all. I showed up right when it is supposed to open the tech was an hour and 15 mins late. When the tech finally Showed up he just Decided to not speak to me and apologize for being late. Instead he sat in his desk on his phone. Just bad customer service.. the manager had said he has been showing up late everyday for almost two weeks. Just unacceptable customer service. read more

found this place on Groupon & it's quick, efficient and affordable! We arrived at 9:02 on a Saturday and they weren't open yet but someone arrived to help us around 9:10 which wasn't a long wait & I didn't mind. The whole process took about 7-8 mins from beginning to end & the man who helped us was friendly. Will definitely recommend to family & friends read more

Don't use this grifter. Brought my '99 Boxster; hadn't noticed check engine light was on (needed a new gas cap with better seal). He took the car, tested it (it passed for smog), and then informed me it was an automatic fail because the check engine light was on. When I asked why he had tested it if he knew it was automatic fail, he said, "You asked me to test it"! Charged full amount he had quoted me!!! read more

Ridiculous - tried calling them 10 times over the course of a week (during business hours) with their only published phone number. Each time there was no answer and after 4 rings it sent to a generic 'sorry the mailbox is full' response. I'd understand if maybe they'd forgotten to clear their mailbox for a couple of days, but a whole week of not being reachable by phone at all? read more
