Always easy to get an appointment. The service is quick and easy at a reasonable price. I will continue to bring my vehicles here and have told several friends and family. read more

Owner is great... very personable! Able to make appointment with ease, quick service and fun conversation!

This is THE BEST smog testing service I've ever experienced!!!! And I've had over eight vehicles needing smog testing since it was required in 1984! Roger is personable, extremely friendly, thorough and efficiently quick. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. If there were a 10 star rating, I'd give it an ELEVEN!!! read more

My previous smog testing station retired, and I feel extremely lucky to have found Auto Smog on Airport Road. I am hearing impaired, and I've had vendors in the past that were less than willing to deal with me because of it. Roger was very accommodating, patient, and professional in every way. I wish I had found him years ago. read more

Great Service! In n out Great conversation I got there 10 minutes before my appointment Roger took me right in Got everything done I was on my way !!!! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY AROUND!! read more

The owner is super-conscientious...about his service of my vehicle and how he treats people. I made an appointment to have my vehicle smogged, showed up, he honored my appointment, and I was on my way. His price was one of the most reasonable I've paid, too. I just moved to Redding, so I feel I hit the jackpot for where to get my vehicle smogged. read more

had an appointment. Everything done in short order. very personable service.. great experience.

Wham! Bang! In and Out. Roger knew what he what doing and got it done. I even got a senior citizen's discount. No complaints. Got some advise. Moved on. Thanks for the service. read more

On time fast efficient and thorough. Slightly more expensive but time is money. Even with appointments elsewhere you could wait for 1.5 hrs start to finish. This place got me in and out in under 30 minutes read more

Roger is the new owner and he's a cheery old chap. He got me in and out within 15 minutes, paperwork and all. I've been coming here for years, and with Roger, I'll continue for years to come. They run smog testing only so you know he has no stake in selling you repairs. read more

Absolutely outstanding service! Roger was very professional. He was honest and gave an exceptional customer experience. It is refreshing to know that there is an owner that does not try to convince you that additional services need to be done in order to pass smog. Bottom line, he is honest unlike his competitor, A1 Smog. I recommend Auto Smog Test Only to everyone I know! read more

I have had 3 older vehicles smog certified here. Great service, honest, and quick. I highly recommend the Auto Smog Test Only Center. The original owner Buzz was a mechanic for over 20 years before opening the smog center. If there was a problem with the vehicle Buzz had no problem offering advice. He is retiring and passing the business on to a retired vehicle mechanic and former business partner, Roger. I highly recommend their service. read more

With an appointment I was able to get in and out within 20 minutes! Great service, highly recommend!

I went to renew my registration online, and found out I overlooked it was time for a smog check. I was looking frantically for a place to have it done, as my regular mechanic closed the shop and left town (due to difficulties finding mechanics). So, I came across Buzz at Auto Smog Test Only. He was able to get me in on short notice and we got the job done. I am sure I will be back again. Thanks Buzz. read more

This is the only smog shop that I'll go to. It's test only station giving me the freedom to take my car where I want if a repair is needed. Retesting didn't cost me anything. Theu are very helpful and want your car to pass. Once time I needed a gas cap and they gave me a new one at no charge. I have been going here for many years and the great service hasn't changed a bit. read more

This is the only "Test-Only" center I know of in the area. I have gone to him for several years and passed every time. You must make an appointment before you go, as he gets very busy. Highly recommended! read more

Replaced the battery and took it to this place to get smogged. He didn't plug it up to make sure it was ready to be smogged like other places would do for first and for free. Instead he tried to smog first and then check the computer data so he could charge me. Then when I drove the car more to make sure it was ready I called to reschedule and he said his smog system was down and that it looks like it's a Northern CA issue and he would call me as soon as it's back on. I called 3 other places same day and everyone else was up and running just fine. Then I call back to reschedule a couple days later and he is completely full that day and wouldn't check my car when I needed to sell it the same day and he never called me when it was back on. So I called Rochas Auto Service and they took the time for me immediately while being busy. Go to Rochas! read more

My car, which had been formerly registered in an enhanced-smog-test area of the state, was flagged once again to go to a test-only center. Due to bad luck and uncommon circumstances surround my address change with the DMV, I had to find a test-only center after I moved to the north state. Sure, you can practically find a test-only center by walking 500 feet in any direction in a metropolitan area of California, but this shop in Palo Cedro is apparently THE only test-only shop in all of Shasta or Tehama counties. Keeping in mind that smog tests at this shop are on an appointment basis, make sure to call ahead. You may have to call several times. Buzz helped clear up my questions about my oddball situation surrounding my smog-check. My car was smogged in an expedient manner for a fair total price of $40, including the electronic DMV certificate. This shop is located a few hundred feet from I-44, in case you're worried about keeping your car's cats nice and warm. read more

Great customer service extremely knowledgeable affordable and honest! Hard to find some place like this now a days

I have been a customer of Buz for many years. While I miss his downtown Palo Cedro location, he is nearby on Airport Road and continues to maintain a totally professional and appointment driven operation. I highly recommend Buz and Auto Smog for your testing needs. read more

My cars have been smog tested here for years. I won't go anywhere else. He is honest, efficient, competitive, and busy! Make an appointment. read more

Buzz has been smog checking my cars for 8 years. He is the only smog shop I trust. He is fair and unbiased. be it the good the bad or the ugly you can trust he knows what he says. read more

the guy there is ultrA COOL. great down to earth guy who will help ya proper instead of some others ive used

Buzz the owner is a one man shop... however, he is fast and efficient in doing the smog tests and his pricing is competitive. He is a TEST shop only, but he has been an auto technician for years and he can/will provide recommendations for you if your vehicle needs repairs to pass the smog test. He cannot and will not do any repairs (by law) as he is a TEST center only... He takes/makes appointments to ensure that you are in and out quickly..... his shop is clean and neat.... small waiting area, however, there are three eating establishments close by... read more

Had horrible service at the location. The old guy that runs the shop is extremely rude to customers. I was shocked at how bad he treated the other customers that walked into the shop. It was convenient and quick - but I will not spend another dollar at that place. read more
