DOWNTOWN SMOG CENTER

Long overdue, but I thought I'd write in. I've been going to Andrew for at least 10 years--if not longer. Never had to wait long, and he's always been friendly, professional, and efficient in doing the inspection and testing. Back in the day when they did the tailpipe emission test, he executed that with efficiency, too--down to the inspection of car. Today, I just went again, and great as usual. I was in and out in 10 minutes. What else can you ask for?

Great experience. The owner is extremely honest and won't test you if he knows in advance that you can't pass. He saw that my car had some non-regulation modifications from the previous owner, so he didn't test me until I had those parts removed and replaced. Thanks to him, my car passed. He's one of the most honest business owners I've ever dealt with, and I recommend him to absolutely everyone. Plus he's a marathoner, which is pretty cool too. :)

This place rocks! I come here every 2 years (is that how frequently they make us do smog checks?), and I'm always impressed with the service. The equipment here is up-to-date, facilitating a speedy visit. Andrew, the owner, started by scanning my DMV registration paper to load my car's information, completed the check, and sent the Smog Report results back to the DMV electronically, all within 10-15 min. It was effortless and pleasant. Andrew is a positive and friendly guy, and I enjoyed chatting with him. He's also a Navy vet! You can support a veteran and get high quality service here at Downtown Smog Center! (Cheesy, I know. =))

Pricey! Great experience and good work, the mechanic was timely and I didn’t have to wait. But man it is expensive! The mechanic told me (I’ll quote him) “you moved to the most expensive zip code in the country, sweetheart.” So he knows it is pricey, too! Just be aware that you are paying $80 for a smog test here. I failed the smog test too, but I know that isn’t the businesses fault. They provide a half off discount to test it again.

I've been to the other smog places in town, and this is the first positive experience I've had. The Pros: I was in and out in ten minutes. The man who owns the place is chatty and friendly and wanted to check my battery because he had concerns that it wasn't running well for its age. The price is average for a smog check. There was no line, no frills, and no funny business of trying to sell me things. Negative(ish): He only takes cash or check and he doesn't quote over the phone. He has very good reasons for this, and if you bring in the car he'll give you a quote. Overall: I like him, and I like the service. Expect an average price for the smog and you should be fine.
