Terrible service! They smog failed my vehicle because they were trying to make money. I ended up going to a fabulous place off of Sunnymead Blvd. that explained in detail that my car was failed unjustly. They asked for me to pay an additional $120 for a diagnostic that was unfounded. Then they wanted over $800 to supposedly fix it. When I took it to the place off of Sunnymead, they said it was just the gas cap which is a $20 item. I called the Alessandro smog shop to explain my concern, and they were rude, insensitive, and unwillingly to listen. They even made a comment saying that I probably went to a place that does ilegal smogging on vehicles. They also did not have masks on or practiced any of the Covid guidelines for businesses. If you're looking to smog your vehicle or have any type of repair done...go anywhere else EEXCEPT THIS PLACE! read more

Real review on Alessandro smog test only I wouldn't go here ever again the technician is a lazy no knowledge having clown I've took 2 cars here and they both failed I took them to pep boys on sunnymead blvd and they both pass without issues pretty strange isn't it this smog shop is here to take your money if you pass or fail you gotta pay $70 I'm telling you guys now don't come here go somewhere that knows what they are doing wish I could do Somthing to get my money back but it's pretty much a loss you've been warned Alessandro smog shop you are trash read more

As others have stated, this place is a complete scam. After spending over a thousand dollars on so called "necessary fixes" my check engine light was still on and they had the audacity to say that after everything they supposedly "fixed" that they cannot pass my smog check. They said that I would need to have almost another thousand dollar of repairs to my vehicle in order to pass it. I warn any and all potential customers, stay far away from this place and go to a more trustworthy establishment. This place is a joke. read more

The owner is very nice always.As a woman l dont like to do things Associated with cars Because I think women get taken advantage of but I don't feel that way here at Alexandra smogs. I have been getting my car smoged for 2 years now and I drive 15 miles to get it done here.He is always very respectful and kind.5 Stars read more

If I could give a zero I would. I drove there because my truck was over heating. This place is so crooked it makes no sense to do people this wrong. So they check out my vehicle and came back with I need to replace both water pumps, both thermostats, and turbo line. also said it may be other things also but to start doing the work it was over $4,000 dollars which was so crazy. I was still changed 175 for them to diagnose, a Lie and up charge me. I end up going to another shop which end up fixing it for $400.00. greedy crooked people, should be ashamed. read more

2 words to described this establishment: Quick and efficient! No frills no fuss. I was in and out of here within 35minutes and that's with 2 people ahead of me! The young lad really knows his thing! He was working by himself yet he managed to stay organized. The dude would tend to the waiting customers; instruct us on paperwork while one car is being tested. That's what I call multi-tasking. He is direct to the point yet managed to stay friendly and pleasant. The center itself was clean with comfortable sofas in the waiting room. It was hot outside yet the temperature inside was nice and cool. The price was reasonable. I found myself a new smog center! HIGHLY Recommended! read more

See all

Alessandro Smog Test Only - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

As soon as I entered with my lovely 83 Westfalia Volkswagen for a smog test. The guy didn't know how to drive my shift stick van. He had it on high rpm in a wrong gear then finally got it in and he tried to take off my engine cover but it fell in and broke my hose. Coolant got all over and he told me that I need to get it fixed on my expense and asked me to move it and get a tow truck. What the heck?!?! He wouldn't own it and said his shop is closed and wanted me to take my van out. How?!?! Not driveable! Waiting on the police to come. read more

Great service. Very friendly & fast. Would highly recommend coming here for all your smog needs

My car needed the catalytic converter replaced. They performed a diagnostic and got charged for it. They wouldn't give me the results but I already knew what the problem was. They charged me $1,200 for two oxygen sensors. I brought it back for a test and said it failed because the catalytic converter needs to be replaced and wanted to charge me $1,300 more for the repair plus the re diagnostic and smog test when they should've done the correct repair in the first place. TOTAL CROOKS! read more

WARNING! This place is a SCAM! Do not come here, they give you an estimate for something and then charge you for it without fixing a dam thing! They make up fake issues that are not the problem just to pretend they actually checked your vehicle. They never do. read more

Not coming here again, the smog technician before running a smog failed me on a visual inspection and not notifying me. Instead of telling me smog cant be done do to aftermarket intake and save me the time and money he went ahead and smogged my vehicle to have me come back and pay twice. Now everything passed besides the visual inspection and charged me full price. And told me to come back after i get issue fixed and would give me a discount. After paying to get my intake fixed came back and basically charged me full price for a secound smog. This place is a scam don't recommend to anyone. read more

Made an appointment for Saturday afternoon. We were seriously in and out in a matter of less than ten minutes. The guy working was friendly. Good deal. read more

I took my car there due to having a check engine light. They said it would be 1 grand to fix it and pass smog. I pick it up and drive off and the next day the check engine light turns back on and they say it's a whole different issue. This place will scam you and take your money straight in front of you . Do not go here. read more

Took my car in because the engine light was showing. Left it for about a day or two. Came back, paid close to $700 and the light is still on. I called back and all I got as a response was "oh, it's because it might need more work done to it." They did mention that it passed a smog test and they changed the oil, but for $700? Hard pass. Never coming back here and 100% don't recommend. read more

My car wasn't even ready to be accepted to be read by the "smog computer" but the guy went ahead and still charged me! For what? He did nothing! He told me I had to go drive my vehicle for 60 miles then come back! Then he would still charge me for a second or should I say first diagnostic smog check. Wow, crooks... and I support our local businesses, but this one is off my books. read more

This place is horrible they are ridiculous in prices. I found a place down the street that will charge me $25 less and will give me a free re test. I just need to take my car back within 30 days. Lesson learned call around for pricing. read more

Awesome service! The Owner is The Man! And Eli did his thing! This is a Staple in Moreno Valley. Thank you

Treated me like complete garbage. Rude, unhelpful, cussing and complete jerks to me. Waited until the smog test was done to do the inspection then failed me for some make believe reason. He used the F word more times than I could count while dealing with me. Do not go here, screw this place. read more

Great service ! Got my car smogged faster than oil change. This place is so easy to get ur car smogged.

The smog guy was cute! Very clean and fast working. Will recommend others read more

I wasn't very happy with the location. But thought I'd give it a try due to a coupon I saw. I found that the coupon was really to draw people in, but was very misleading. When we got an actual quote from the guy working, it actually cost twice the price. And they don't offer a re-test if a car doesn't pass the smog test. Won't be a place I'd choose to go to again. read more

The red flag should have been that they don't offer a free retest if you don't pass. (Now, I know and knowing's half the battle.) I recommend smogging somewhere that offers this or has a "pass or don't pay" policy. Service was nice. The guy who did my test was cute! Other than that, the facility is run-of-the-mill. read more

This is the only place I'll get my car smog-checked. They are honest and work very efficiently. Every time I've been here, my car was completed in about 5 minutes. The guys don't waste time and get straight to work. read more

I didn't realize getting a DMV required smog check would be such a process. I tried going to two other establishments in town that I'd found through yelp and found myself in empty offices waiting for an employee to appear both times. I wasted a ton of my day just waiting in vain. But thankfully, the third time was a charm. I was already annoyed, but I called over before I came and a human actually answered the phone. He was able to tell me that it would be $40 out the door for my 2007 Civic. I got there a few minutes later and the whole thing took less than 10 minutes. The location is a little sketchy, but the guy was nice and efficient. And like any ideal transaction, I wasn't lied to and I paid what he told me over the phone that I would pay. Easy. Highly recommend. read more

Went there for a required smog with a printed coupon. They denied the coupon as my car's year is 2000... service was excellent and took only 10 minutes. read more

Coupon price deceiving. Their $25 dollar test only smog does not include evap test. Complete smog test only walk out price for most cars $50. read more

I was in need of a smog check in a hurry. I came in and within ten minutes, I was on my way. The guys running the place were very courteous and professional. I have found my new smog check shop! read more

I pretty much agree with everyone else. This place is no hassle no fuss. They do the job efficiently and they are very helpful and thorough.

My husband and I went today 12/23/12 for a second Smog test due to the first did not pass because we needed a carb EO number for our K&N air filter. Eliab Velasquez, One of the workers, did not tell us during the first test that this was needed but charged us over $50.00 regardless. After we got the required number, my husband and I went back to get it checked again so it can pass the Smog test and Eliab told us that we are going to have to pay again. When we told him that he never mentioned to us that we needed the EO number he just looked at us and said," I don't need to tell you guys anything." After that he was being nothing but rude to my husband, he kept taking our paper and pushing them back to us saying for us to go somewhere else. SO WE DID! I will never recommend this place to anyone and I will never be going back again! If I can give them less than 1 star I would. TL;DR The people working here are very rude and unprofessional. All they want to do is steal and take your money. read more

I was disappointed to learn that the coupon must be printed out to get the discount . I showed the coupon on my phone to the person but that was not good enough. So they lost a sale because of that . Disappointing . read more
