This is the photo he said I needed to bring to get the "$36.75 price, yet he did not follow through with what he said."

This guy is a total scam artist! He's a liar and a cheat. He told me over the phone that it would be $36.75 as long as I presented the coupon found online. I did present the coupon and than he begins to tell me that I need a "star smog" which is a bunch of bull crap, it says my smog check is $60 plus tax! He wouldn't give me his name and he didn't care. I wish I had looked up these yelp reviews before continuing business with him. I will be glad.

He got the job done! This man does not have people skills, customer service, so if you are looking for friendly and talkative business owner that makes you feel welcome this is not your place lol I said good morning twice he said nothing to me. He just ask for my paper work and ask me to move my car forward. I'm ok with his service not looking for a friend. Just need a smog check and got it. I paid and I'm out! I didn't give him a 4 star bc the place was messy. He should at least have a clean area for the waiting guest

I needed my car slogged- today. They have a nice coupon on the web.Unfortunately, they decided to take the afternoon off. They obviously don't need or want my business.

This place should just close shop and save everyone some time. They issue a coupon for $ 36.75 but they are never there. I asked the shop next door when the shop would be open, and he said they are rarely there. This was at 10 a.m. on a Wednesday. Save your time, and find a shop that is open during normal business hours. It was a complete waste of time.

NEGATIVE STARS!! Poor customer service, does not value customer, looks at customer with disgust. Very uncomfortable presence. Only went there because of coupon but he wouldn't honor it. I recommend Pops Smog Check off of White Lane & Wible. Way better environment, excellent customer service at Pops smog and better pricing! I support small businesses but only when they value me as a customer, this place will never get a dollar from me. Go to place who makes you feel like they appreciate you.... Like Pops Smog! Also has very limited make as he goes business hours, no waiting room, only to be standing outside in cold or heat, very uncomfortable and nasty filthy. Don't waste your time here!

This place is a joke! Offers a coupon, but won't touch a Tahoe. No greeting, explanation or goodbye. This place is very sketchy. The man there was enough to scare my Dobie. Steer clear!

This is cool that they offer a super affordable smog option. Just make sure he's actually there. The shop is located in a row of other shops, and this guy doesn't have the same hours of operation. Their yelp page said they were open but, upon arriving, I was told by workers from the other shops that he is never in before 10am. wtf. So we were going to wait a bit but I decided to call. He answered. I asked if they were open. "Yes!" he assured me. I was looking at a closed garage door. I said, "I am here in the parking lot." Then he said "Okay I will open." but I thought you WERE open? Then he hung up. We waited. Five, ten, fifteen minutes. No sign of him. It was 9:55 by this point. We had wasted 45 minutes. I called him again. He answered. Then, before I could get a full word out, he hung up. I called back. Immediately went to voice mail, which let me know he ignored my call. We left and went to Blue Ribbon. If you want to do well in business you should get your shit together and at least not blatantly lie to people who want to give you their money.

His hours are the same as the DMV. If they're open so is he. It was $60 for the whole thing and he sent the info to the DMV. I was in and out within 15 mins. I was nervous because he was kinda rude at first but I just kept smiling and 3 mins in he couldn't help but chuckle and be kind to me. It's 9am and he spends his day(until 5) smelling engine oils in a garage. Yeah I'd be grouchy in the morning too. He's a family guy running his own little business. I'm glad I met him and I'd recommend coming here.It probably would of been cheaper if I used the coupon but I was to caught up that I forgot to tell him about it prior. Lol. Not a big deal. Support local business and don't forget to love your neighbors:)

They do not answer the phone, you just get a recording. They do not open until 2:00. There was a discount posted online and when I presented it, they refused to accept it. I asked the guy how much and he pointed at a sign that indicated $59.00. A far cry from the $29.00 noted online. Needless to say, I left. 1 star only because I could not leave a "0"...........

They advertise cheapest in town but when you show the receipt they say they don't accept it if it's a small SUV. Ended up costing $60, took way too long. Go somewhere for $50 that's faster.
