Alonzo performed the smog check, and he was just as courteous and efficient. I especially appreciate that they were willing to smog my older vehicle. It's becoming harder and harder to find shops that will work on older cars, but Smog City handled it with a smile and made the whole process quick and hassle-free. If you're looking for excellent customer service and a shop that truly values its customers, I highly recommend Smog City. I'll definitely be back for my next smog check!

A while back, I visited this shop for a quote on a valve body repair because my car was revving…read morepast 5,000 RPMs at low speeds and etc. I explained the situation to the front desk team, but in hindsight, I probably gave too much detail prior to giving the reason why I was actually here. They understandably assumed I wanted a full diagnosis because of the different issues described rather than just a quote for the valve body repair. And to be honest, that's what the process should be like. Because what if I am wrong about the prognosis, ya know? After dropping off my car, I later received a call letting me know they don't work on transmission-valve body replacements and was charged for the diagnostic, along with a recommendation to another shop. At the time, it felt like I paid for a referral, which didn't sit right with me. Recently, I came back to discuss this with the owner, Richard. We had a great conversation and agreed it was simply a misunderstanding during a very busy day. Keep in mind that Richard is also not the person who took my car in. I am sure if he was there when I first walked in, he would have recommended me elsewhere. But what stood out to me was Richard's professionalism and integrity. You have no idea how easily he could have said "no" to my visit today because at the end of the day I signed off on the paperwork prior to handing off the keys. But instead, he took the time to hear me out and make things right--not because of the money, but because he truly cares about the customer. That kind of passion and commitment is rare in the industry, and it's clear he's one of the only ones to have maintained it for however long he's been in the business, respectfully. That said, the shop itself is spacious and welcoming, not cramped like some places that make you feel rushed. Plus, the location is great--lots of nearby stores and even a gym if you want to kill time while waiting. If you're looking for a place that values honesty and customer care, this is it. Five stars to Richard, his establishment, and the team. And if you made it this far, it's only fair that you pay them a visit :)

Apparently, my 2014 Jeep Patriot was due for a smog check. I loved that the smog service was super quick, as it was completed in under 15 minutes. My vehicle instantly passed with a breeze. The job cost $48 in total, which was reasonably affordable. The best part was the convenience of this location. Stockton 5 Star Smog is STAR certified. I highly recommend stopping by for smog testing needs. I will be returning here as needed in the future.
