The old gas station on Watt has been my go-to for personal and client cars for over a decade now. I recommend to friends, family and anyone reading this.

This smog station intentionally failed one of our older vehicles even though it passed both the…read moreemissions test and visual inspection. Initially, I thought well it's an old vehicle. Maybe it's finally having issues so I followed Victor's instructions which were to that the EGR system needed to be cleaned or repaired because it was not operating properly. He also said the gas cap had to be replaced because it failed a leak test. The following day I had the EGR system cleaned and checked. I was told there was nothing wrong with the EGR and that the passages were clear. This obviously did not sit well with me after having to pay to have this unnecessary work done. The gas cap was also tested and passed a leak test so yet more money wasted that didn't need to be Wasted. The following day, I contacted Victor Smog shop and asked him to re-smog the vehicle since I had already paid him and explain to him that we followed his instructions and there was nothing wrong with the car. He said, bring it in and he will reinspect it. He Yet again failed it. I reached out to the bureau of automotive repair and looked at the Smog inspection manual. This person Victor is intentionally failing older vehicles because he is afraid they will fail their next Smog and it will affect his score with the bureau of automotive repair smog licensing division . My suggestion to anyone is do not deal with this dishonest person and find a honest Smog facility. This person will take your money and waste your time. I turned him into the bureau of automotive repair. If you have any issues, I suggest you do the same. It is free to report them and they will investigate your concern.
