I have a 1998 Ford F150 with manual transmission. It is difficult to test because the dynamometer must be used. The experienced technicians were able to perform the test correctly. read more

Came in and was seen quickly, Ricardo even checked my car before testing to make sure I passed. Highly recommend.

Friendly and quick service. My husband and I don't go anywhere else! Our one and only spot!

Tony was not only professional and friendly but also fast and affordable. Had a smog test done and it wasn't a hassle or time consuming.

Fast and really fair Pricing. I was scared that I would have to wait long after seeing a lot of people but went fast! Thank you Tony! read more

Bancroft Smog Test Only - Nice to see pride of ownership for a local business. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Tony was very helpful. He even stayed open until I got there. (At 5:15 pm) I went there for a smog check by Star Station. While my car was being smoged he noticed my 2 front tires were worn. He suggested I get them replaced asap. I thanked him for the advicpe. read more

Excellent service, very friendly and personable! Highly recommended to everyone! I'm so glad I went here! Very quick and responsive!

I was happy they were open on a Sunday. The service was fast and great prices. I recommend this place to anyone!

I needed to get my car smogged and the guys there are helpful and hard working, they needed to get an adapter in order to run the test on my car so they found a solution to a problem without hesitation. I will definitely go back with all of my cars because they will find a way to help you if it is within their power. read more

Tony is awesome. He did a quick pre-scan on my 98 Silverado before the real smog test to help ensure I would pass the first time. Very nice, friendly, courteous, and reasonable prices. Thanks Tony! read more

I got the info on this place from SmogSmart.com (and a $10 off coupon). I had been pricing a lot of places and if they were cheap usually I couldn't get decent service over the phone - rude and uncommunicative or they left out the additional costs of the certs. I called this morning to see if they were open and if there was a good time. The gentleman said to come over whenever, just make sure to be there at least 15 minutes before he closed. I did end up waiting but he didn't waste any time and got the three people ahead of me done really fast. Positives: Turn around is quick. He had a lot of repeat business, people that were there all knew him and had been there before. Negatives: Location, I don't know how I found it because it is up an alley off the main street. Its back behind a mexican place and a couple houses. I will be going there again when my other vehicles need it. Just bring a book in case there are a few people ahead of you because he will get to you quick as he can. read more

Bancroft Smog Test Only - Bancroft Smog (Spring Valley) - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Spring Valley, California

This place is fast, honest and inexpensive. After passing smog, I was sitting in the parking lot by the nearby Mexican restaurant. My car had a minor mechanical disaster (not related to smog in any way). After my car limped back up to the shop, the owner was incredibly helpful and helped me determine what was wrong with my vehicle and what to do about it. It seems that many smog shops (especially the cheaper ones) are shady and dishonest. This place is neither. I would highly recommend this shop to anybody who needs their car smogged. read more

Bancroft Smog Test Only - Smog shop is down alley behind Loreto's Mexican food, shown here - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Friendly attentive service. Drove right up and he was open to getting my smog done ASAP. Quick sign of paperwork and he was off. Checked here there plugged this into that. Yada yada. We were good to go. Very reasonably priced. Tipped him a few bucks and he told me where his tip money goes - to help poor kids in Vietnam. like wow. What a guy. read more

Great place to get your vehicle smog, very friendly, fast service. Will be coming back..

Well, times are a CHANGING..did make appt on line but I was not sent a link to my e-mail though I provided it. Had to send e-mail to confirm appt. Received e-mail from owner, next day, confirming appt. Arrived 5 mins early, and was set up right away. Now before, I think I was able to pay ahead of time? Don't remember..but I did see a 30% off offer in Yelp when you check in. I told tge attendant as he insisted I pay, $40. He said its regularly $50. I get it, I'm getting a discount YET when someone called asking the price, the attendant said $40. So I'm not getting a deal? Also, 30% of 50 is $15/off not $10. The attendant is not a good communicator, just mumbles, and insists, $40.00, SIGN. I complied. Don't want a hassle. But I bet if I was some big, burly, guy he might listen and give me what is ADVERTISED. Gez..service has gone down hill since my last ***** star rating. Took 20 minutes and they take cash or charge. Done.. read more

About my 4th time here. There's never a long wait - about 10 - 15 mins at most. I like that they always check to see if your sensors are ready for the test. Super friendly staff. Mention Yelp and you'll get $10 off. Also, the shop is tucked away from the main street and you have to drive through a taco shop. read more

I was having trouble getting my car smogged this year. Something told me to try Bancroft Smog. I'm lucky I did, besides them being super friendly and welcoming. Their knowledge and advice helped me get my car smogged that day!! We all know that feeling when you're about to get your car smogged - If you want peace of mind while dealing with this process, I highly recommend Bancroft Smog 3546-C Bancroft Dr. Thanks again guys!! read more

First time here and it was a great experience. The owner was very friendly! Even better was my car passed the smog check. read more

Five Stars for a smog test center? Yep. I've been getting my cars smog-tested for decades, and at this place, it's as good as it gets ! Well, if they offered complimentary lobster tacos it would be better, I guess. The tester, Recardo Villegas was very personable and informative. The test itself, start to finish, took about 15 minutes. Due to my car being newer than the 1999 model year, the test involved only the car's onboard computer. No tailpipe sniffer involved. $40 with the coupon available online. Cheapest price I know about. They take MC and Visa, but not AmEx. Oh, cash works pretty well, too. I made an appointment online, and was the only car there when I showed up. No wait. When Mr. Villegas handed me the official paperwork, he advised that I keep it, in case the State doesn't send me my renewal sticker. Good advice. But the Cal DMV never, ever makes mistakes, right? Right. A loud shout-out to Vince S., who posted the pic of the ghastly red and yellow striped Loreto's Mexican restaurant as a landmark. Otherwise, this place would be almost impossible to find, being behind Loreto's, off the alley intersecting with Bancroft. I hope this place is in business two years from now. I'll be back. read more

Bancroft Smog Test Only - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Spring Valley, California

I give this company a less than 1 star due to the rudeness of the gentleman (that's being kind) on the phone. This person actually hung up on me when I asked about the coupon that they had advertised for $31.75 + $8.25 for the certificate. This coupon said that for those cars 1995 & older add $10 extra. This gentlman said no no,,,, this car which is a 1998 Lexus is $60.00. I asked, so you are not honoring the coupon that I have that says.....and then CLICK! I tried to call back and of course no answer......hmmmmmm......Very sad and extremely UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! WOW!!!!!! read more

This is the quickest and most convenient service south of San Diego. Tony the owner is a very nice and helpful technician. Be sure to go behind the taco shop to find it. read more

Great service! Tony really works hard to give the people the best customer even when there are multiple customers and he's the only person working the station. I will bring all of my cars here! read more

Quick and easy. The man who did the services doesn't speak too much but gets the job done and that's all I care about. Don't forget to take your coupon from their website. read more
