Terry - Older man with white hair, was very nice while doing my emissions inspection, I rolled up and he immediately had a smile on his face and was very kind while giving directions of what to do. I want to give this POSITIVE review because, to be honest this is not my usual experience while getting emissions completed, they are usually not so nice haha but Terry was different. He was also super efficient with what he did, it's the fastest my emissions has ever been completed. Overall he did an awesome job and was a great reflection on who he works for. read more

Super fast and efficient! We were in and out in 15 minutes or less (definitely less). Adam helped us out today. Will definitely recommend to others to come to this location. read more

This place is super-fast and convenient. I've had emissions done here on all my cars, I've been coming here for decades and their staff is very courteous and helpful, always. Saturdays are busy but weekdays especially middle of the day after lunch are not that bad. You can now make appointments also. Cost is reasonable and they give you the certificate to get your registrations. If you fail they offer some services inside that help you get your vehicle emissions "PASS" ready. read more

Fast and efficient, was able to get in and out on a Saturday morning in less than 15 minutes.

Well if you have a vehicle in Maricopa county that newer than a 1966, you have to have emissions on it. Sure, you can do classic insurance on certain vehicles in order to bypass the test however, if that's not possible, you have no choice. And since there's only one place to go, OF COURSE I recommend them. But this location went above and beyond. I don't know the guys name but after he tested our car, he noticed a vacuum line off. He told us about it and told us to hook it back up and bring it back. I think you're supposed to wait a certain amount of time but we left, fixed the hose, went right back, and he took us right back in. I think had he noticed it BEFORE doing the test, he probably would have told us right away OR maybe even plugged it back in (I don't think they are allowed to do that tho). Anyway, all said and done, the car passed, and we are on the road, licensed and legal! read more

ADEQ Emission Testing - ALWAYS a good time at the emissions station!!! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I came to this location after reading all the great reviews. I'm a young girl and this was my first time getting an emissions test so I was already a little stressed about the process and what to expect. As I was waiting in the express line they decided to open another express line, but instead of someone instructing those who had already been waiting to move over it was a big free for all so about 5 cars that showed up after me ended up getting serviced before me. Then one of the workers began waving the vehicle in front of me to move into the next lane to get serviced and when he began waving again it appeared he was looking at me so I continued forward. There was obvious miscommunication because he was upset and yelling at me before I even rolled my window down saying "who told you to come over here because it wasn't me". It was an honest mistake but he made me feel so stupid and harshly explained why what I did wasn't okay because of their ticketing system running on a timer. I felt awful however my mistake didn't warrant being yelled at. I will say he did apologize for yelling at me saying it was uncalled for so I can appreciate that but it still left me feeling uneasy. My suggestion for them is to implement better protocols or have someone navigate some of the traffic when they decide to open up another lane to limit the confusion. Obviously my experience was unique and I'm sure they are all lovely most of the time, I was just really caught off guard with the way I was treated. I'll probably go to the Chandler location next time. read more

Fast and efficient - that's how I'd describe my experience here! I came in for a smog check and was blown away by the top-notch service. I passed with flying colors! Major kudos to the hardworking team who brave the scorching Arizona heat (over 100 degrees!) to keep things running smoothly. You all are truly appreciated! read more

Prompt service. Even when there's a line, it moves along quickly. I always use this center & have never had a problem.

I have to frequent the Emission centers and the morning I was looking online at my usual spot, the video camera showed me more cars in line then I could ever imagine. I have the early COVID panic shopping feeling... Thankfully when I looked at other locations, I saw that this only had a handful of vehicles waiting so I jumped into the car and within 10 mins found myself in line with only 2 cars in front. Couldn't be happier. I took a screen shot of the previous location and when I returned home I saw that the Camper and 2 unique vehicles were still in the waiting line. Best option and the staff was friendly and on point to direct cars into the right bay. read more

We had our vehicle emissions test done today at the W 1st Ave location in Mesa. Another line opened up and Kevin, the technician, waved us over. He explained the process in detail. He was awesome and we were finished in less than 10 minutes. Many thanks for your professionalism Kevin!! read more

No long lines they were fast and accurate and very communicative. The facilities were clean and the workers were nice so overall, I would give them five stars. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find this test location and not have a lengthy wait, bad attitude workers, or any other drama headed my way. I think I was there all of 10 minutes, clearly having chosen the perfect time of day to arrive. The gentlemen that did the test wasn't exactly chatty, which is fine by me, but he was friendly and did what he needed to do efficiently. N complaints here! I paid my fee and was on my way! Much appreciated! read more

ADEQ Emission Testing - Five functional lanes - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

The coolest part is how you're able to check the lines (aka approximate wait time) with their live feed cameras online before you decide to drive there. The website recommended between 4-5pm for shortest wait times, so I took my chances and arrived just before 4:30pm on Monday. Lady Luck must have been on my side because I made it through the line by 5:00pm. They move fast! The emissions test costs $17 and they accept cash, credit, and check. read more

Then service is fast the staff I met, were polite and happy to help. I came on Yelp just to make a comment about how great one of their workers (Terry) is. He's an older gentleman and has an awesome happy up beat attitude, I always hate coming to these places but (Terry) made it a great experience. Idk how much this man makes but he deserves a raise. His attitude towards his job is great. Wish we had a lot more people like (Terry). I hope he reads this and remembers that I told him I liked his service so much I'd give him a yelp review, I Came in a 2012 Orange Mini cooper. Thank you Terry ! read more

No one likes going to emissions but this place isn't bad. I've never had to wait long here. The staff and service is great for an emissions center. There's a third party DMV right next door so you can get your tags when you're done here! The location is tucked away on the side street so it can be hard to find. read more

Great facility as far as keeping the lines moving along as well as an easy process. Two lines were open when I rolled up each with about 6 cars in line. They opened a third line and I was next. I'd say I waited about 15 before my test. The entire test took 5 minutes plus paying $17.00. The accept cash, checks and bank cards (see photo for details). read more

Fast service, rep cars ahead of me when I went less than 10 minute wait, in and out, highly recommended

Straight up f***ing trash I waited almost 2 hrs in a bullshit line for emmisons the place is so slow I litterly waited 45 mins for only 3 cars ahead of me to be checked so your telling me it take 15 plus minutes to emission one vehicle? Do not go here go elsewhere! read more

Everyone knows its very stressful dealing with car stuff in the first place. Let alone having to miss work because of these things. It would be really helpful for a business to have accurate hours on all platforms, so their clients have the correct information. Instead they want to get argumentative when you show up at 5 right when they are closing(Yelp and google both say 7:00pm). They then explain "well it says 5 on our sign". Okay no one just takes time off of work and drives to a place hoping/assuming they are open or to read a sign with hours of operation. That's what the internet is for! read more

I prepaid and the email said pull up into the lane with your hazard lights on. The very rude employee Donald (older guy) shakes his head as I'm pulling in and I roll my window down and doesn't say hello doesn't ask me how he can help me, says very rudely shaking his head "Why are your hazard lights on?" Well that's what the instructions in my email said. He said if you're here for no contact you need to pull around and go to lane 3. Rude rude rude. If I hadn't already paid I would've went somewhere else. read more

Emissions is a tedious activity, but this review is not about that. There's not much you can do to make this a pleasant activity, but I do expect to have someone at all time navigating traffic. There are plenty of people just standing around inside the garage who could step outside and show people where to pull up. read more

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Pulled up Wednesday morning around 9 and was out by 9:07! Seems like a great location.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Rude employees. Huffing & puffing the entire time. Mumbling instructions. They act as if you are inconveniencing them. Save yourself the headache and choose another location. read more

Express lane went very quickly on Friday afternoon. I was able to renew the car registration the following day. I'll be back in 2 years.

Quickest and easiest emissions has ever been for me! Had no wait at all. My gas cap didn't pass they replaced it for me for free. Dude was so cool and I appreciate it tons! Thank you guys seriously ! read more

They got me in and out quickly. The staff was friendly. They take credit cards. I never enjoy having to get my emissions tested, but they made it painless. read more

Fast, organized, and polite. The used car I had just bought failed and I was so stressed, but they swiftly sent me to a double-check lane and took another way of testing and it was because of the computer breathalyzer on my car messing it up, not my emissions, so I passed. I am so grateful they know what they're doing here and take the time. read more

Efficient, friendly folks, fast service. Smogging your car is something that really nobody enjoys to get done, but this place makes it as painless as possible. read more

Do not come here. Rolled up waited 20 minutes only for them to tell me they didn't have the right equipment in the lane I was waiting in and that I had to drive back around and re wait for a different lane. The lady who broke the news to me was super inconsiderate as well. read more

What are people talking about? Went to this location today and was 3rd in line. Very easy and quick. They knew which machine on my car they needed to use and guided me to the proper machine to do the test. Not a very long wait. Total time under 10 mins after the test started. Great location! read more

Fast, but rude as hell. Treated us disrespectfully. I guess it would have been appropriate if we were new marine recruits and the technician was our drill sergeant. read more

I usually get the emissions done at another location. I had to have two vehicles done and had to wait almost an hour for each one. I did check the time on the internet and it had said between a 10-20 minute wait. The employee that handled my emissions squirted simple green to get rid of a spill the car before me made. The only problem was that I had to have the window down so with the fan that they have blowing it blew right on me. No trip to emissions is fun but this was one of the worst. read more

Just used this location for our most recent emissions test, and for our emissions test two years ago. Both times, we've been in and out within 10 minutes. The staff is friendly and efficient :) Thank you for making a mundane task quick and painless! read more

(Wait =7 min) + (Inspection = 3 min) = 10 minutes total! I arrived at 6:45p on a Monday night. There were 2 cars getting worked on. I've been at this location once before 2 years ago and I didn't have a long wait then either. The manager was super friendly after I'm sure was a long day. I will keep coming to this location. read more

Fast and easy service, we were in and out in no time!! Matthew was my inspector and he was great! Super friendly and easy going. He told me to have a great day and stay safe driving. Really enjoyed talking to him. He recommend me to go check out the Mexican hat, where he and his wife took a road trip read more

I drove up around 9/10 am a few days ago and was bummed to realize how many cars were in line ahead of me. I was pleasantly surprised. I was in and out within less than 30 mins? Friendly and helpful staff. I'll be back. Got me smog approved in the old car and back to the rest of my day. read more

ADEQ Emission Testing - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Wasted 45 minutes of my Monday morning in line here. I drive a 2001, and I ended up in the non-express line (1996 and older) by accident. Not a big deal, the line was still moving at a decent pace. There was an older woman driving an older car in the express line that shouldn't have been there - I'm guessing her car was older than 1996. The employees asked me to pull over to the right to let her get into my line. I thought we should've switched, but still no big deal. What happened next is the reason for my 1 star review. The employees kept me pulled off to the side and let several cars through (approximately 10) before returning to my car and pulling me back into the regular line. To top it off, once it was FINALLY my turn to get tested, the employee told me that they were only accepting cash or check that day. I asked if I could run to the ATM across the street, and I was told that I'd have to move my car and get back in line. 1. Tell customers ahead of time if there is a service you cannot provide (credit/debit cards). 2. Don't make us get BACK in line for your inconvenience. I'll be heading to Chandler to get emissions tested from now on! read more

Take a look on the website ahead of time and you can plan to hit the lines when they are shorter. I went in last week for an emissions test and I was finished in less than 10 minutes. I passed, which is a great feeling! I'll be back in 2 more years! read more

The technicians are friendly but management is not so nice. The one I needed to speak to was rude and treated me like a criminal for failing. I get they must dislike their customer facing jobs but a little bit of compassion goes a long way. read more
