I went here for a smog inspection for my Ram 2500 diesel. I recently moved from a town not far…read moreaway, was happy to find another A-1 literally 2 minutes from our new home, to do our smogs. Front office staff was professional and nice, the wait was not terrible. It went downhill from there. I was approached in the waiting room with the news that the truck had not passed smog. OK it happens. But here it comes. Truck needed a NOX sensor replacement ($2,200 for parts and labor for this repair)- or did it? I was told that "9 out of 10 of these turn out to be the turbo, which would run more like $5,000 - $6,000." Wait - what? This Cummins has 140,000 miles on it. He smiled wisely and said he just went through the same thing with his dad's truck (I am 67 years old). Yep with his dad's truck it was the turbo - and it only had 65,000 miles on it. (Even though RAM has 100,000 mile warranties on these trucks.) There were also "a few other things" they found. The good news was the cost would only be $4,600 if the turbo was good - not the much higher amount most other shops would charge. OK long story short - I said no. I took the truck to the nearby RAM dealer. I showed them the estimate from A1 and they just shook their heads. They looked and found the NOX sensor was fully covered by a recall. They did check and thank goodness the turbo is fine (they did say it was probably down to its last 300,000 miles or so). I got the truck smogged elsewhere, because A-1 said I would have to pay for a new smog cert test. So, a $4,600 estimate (possibly $9,000 or more) ended up at $0. At a dealer.Problem solved. Smog passed. Lesson? Don't go to A-1 Smog on Market Street unless you just won the Lotto or have an extra $9,000 weighing you down that you need to get rid of. Oh - they were nice.

I drove up from Red Bluff to have my motorhome smogged. As I drove home, there was a cold and…read morestrong flow of air at my feet that was not there before. When I got home, I found that the engine cover was not put back on correctly. As I was busy correcting that, I found one of the bolts that attach the engine cover to the cab floor had been sheared off. I also found that my cigarette lighter no longer worked. I discovered that the wiring was cut off the back of the lighter and not re-installed.. Obviously this is not acceptable and certainly not professional. I have used A1 Smog since 2018 when I bought the motorhome, and have never had something like this happen before.

They were full but the person who responded looked further and said we could squeeze you in at 4pm. We were so relieved as we just wanted to make sure the car was ready to go for the long trip ahead.

Fortunately, all was good as we do have our car inspected regularly. And they had a great discount going for the serve at that time so the price was very reasonable. Thank you Thrive folks!
