    This review is for the STAR Test and Repair Station for smog tests. Thank You very much for helping me get my car to pass Smog! It's always best to seek the help of a professional who knows what they're doing! I have a small car I drive around on weekends. Awhile ago it needed a new battery, so I went ahead and replaced it. I didn't know my next DMV registration renewal would require a smog test. Opps! Disconnecting that battery erased the driving history in the on-board computer, which is needed to pass a smog test. First, I took it to a "Test Only" Smog Station, and the O2 sensor failed the test. The tech suggested I drive it around 100-200 miles and perform the "drive cycles." I did it and the O2 sensor still failed to go "green." So I was thinking that the O2 sensor was bad and needed to be replaced. So I decided to go to Central Auto Repair. They said I had two choices, continue to drive it around or pay them to do the drive cycles in their garage. You ever go in a smog station and see those huge rollers on the floor? They can "drive" your car without going anywhere. They said if it fails, I don't pay. Almost like saying they guarantee success. So I agreed to the service, and they put 20 miles on my car without leaving the station. O2 sensor went to green, and I passed the Smog Test! Great service, and they clearly communicate with me the choices and options. Was this review too technical? Not if you're going thru this problem right now. Performing drive cycles can be frustrating, maybe have a pro do it and just get it done right! Central Auto Repair is at the gas station at Central Ave x Sherman. Good Luck, and Support Local Business!

    The mechanics there (specifically Sunny) are really excellent at diagnosing and repairing my late model Mercedes.

    This wasn't my usual spot to go for a smog check but I was in the area visiting a friend. The…read morelocation was very small and not a lot of room to maneuver around. It was like pulling up in front of someone's driveway and getting your smog check done right there. There was only one guy working. I would describe him as nice, quick and efficient. When he was writing down the info for my car, I showed him the web special on my phone and he was able to give me the discount. It took about 25 minutes for my smog check to be done. It probably would have been done quicker but there were a couple of people ahead of me. They did a few chairs inside for you to sit while you wait. If you were planning on using the web special, I would recommend calling them just to make sure your car qualified for the discount before you go. I thought I might have needed to call a few times before someone picked up but they were quick to answer my call. I noticed the guy actually carried the phone with him when I was there. The only downside about this place was that they charge you for a retest if your smog check failed so that would be something to consider if you decided to come here.

    I came here for a retest after my car failed the first inspection. I paid $59 without realizing…read morethere was a $39 offer on the website. When I politely asked about it during my return visit, the employee (different from the first time) was immediately rude. I was trying to explain myself calmly and even said "let me explain better" since English is not my first language. Instead of helping, he gave a very hard, mocking laugh, acted like he couldn't understand me, and then started yelling. It felt disrespectful and humiliating. I was calm and respectful the entire time, so the reaction felt completely unnecessary. I also saw other reviews mentioning rude behavior from staff, and others saying they were refused the $39 discount advertised online. At first I ignored those reviews, but now I understand what people meant. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional, and basic customer respect was missing.
