They determined that they could not do the repair there unless we had several days to leave it with them. Unfortunately we had other plans in other places, so we agreed to go to Fresno to take it into a dealership to be looked at and serviced, and rent a car from Fresno to continue our trip. The young men in the shop were direct, friendly, and honest. They charged a fair price and gave us a printout for the diagnostic, and advice on how to get to Fresno safely. If you find yourself in Mendota needing car help, these guys will take care of you and get you on the road safely.

The person who answered was very helpful and politely answered my questions. I had to check something with DMV, and would get back to them. On Saturday morning I had an early errand and decided to swing by Atwater Smog Center to see if/when I could get a smog check. Jose was there and said I could get that done right now, right away. Yes, siree, that is what happened and I was on my way, passed smog check, within 20 minutes. I highly recommend this place and appreciate Jose's professionalism and manners (& the cost was comparable to local garages.) If you value great customer service and an establishment that takes pride in their work, Atwater Smog Center is your place!

Went back and told him that how was that fair that if he checked it again and it passed in total it's $100 not WHAT HIS OWN SIGN SAYS $60 so basically because he said since it's his place and it was his rules if he wants to he's going to charge you for an Inspection and not do nothing.(When other places charge you nothing or half if ur car fails to pass) MONEY HUNGRY OLD ASS DUDE to be honest i rather go pay some other place than come back and pay this dude another cent.

My whole visit took maybe an hour. What really made this place stand out was the waiting room. It was decorated like a 1950s diner, resplendent with a self-serve coffee bar, filtered water fountain for hot and cold water and plenty of refreshments. The room was air-conditioned with a cute little table in the middle and plenty of seating despite the small space. It's perfect if you're planning to stay and wait. It was early in the day, so I took a walk around since it's in the heart of Old Town, near all sorts of wonderful little businesses. As such, they gave me a call upon service completion.
