    Their policies aren't even written in coherent sentences. "Free retest with in(sic) 15 days" isn't free! $30-$10 based on what?
    Raya Z.

    They clearly do not need your business. And they do not believe in customer service. As one of the few Star certified smog check locations in the area, they will treat you like just another number. After my car failed due to a catalytic converter issue (which is expensive and takes TIME to fix) they wanted to charge full price for a retest. Their discount within 15 days is nice, but not possible in every circumstance. If there was a REASON for this, it was not made known to me. Just a bored and unfriendly person telling me no. No extensions, no negotiations, no explanations, no compassion. If they hadn't dismissed me so rudely, I wouldn't have had such a negative experience. I wouldn't mind paying the full amount of a new test (which I will have to do at another shop anyway) if they had explained why or at least pretended to be nice about it. If you don't mind being treated like just another inconvenience in their very busy day and you just need the service done they're fine. But I will not be back.

    TV setup inside the lobby

    Came in for a smog check using a coupon I found online. They did not honor the coupon ($31.75 + $8.25 cert) because I have a Mid-sized SUV, but offered me a price of $50. The price list inside the business shows $51.75 + certificate for ALL vehicles (cars, trucks, vans & pickups - no mention of SUVs), so $50 (including certif) is not bad. At least they had an air conditioned waiting area with a TV, and the technician was very friendly.

    Example of coupon post skin website

    have used this smog check location for years. Seems to be moving into a bait and switch shop. Advertises coupon for 31.25 (plus 8.75 for cert) for vehicles 1999 or newer. Even called yesterday to verify coupon was still good for my jeep and was told yes. Arrived today and the gentleman working the counter told me it would be 60.00 because it was an SUV. No chose to stay as I was in a hurry to get this done, but did inform him about my conversation with somebody yesterday confirming the coupon. He informed me that I should have told him about the call earlier. So, it is 40.00 if you call first and let them know? Also got hit with a two dollar credit card fee LOL, so make sure you bring cash if you decide tibiae then. Coupon does not mention anything of SUV / Truck additional fees. Buyer beware. In the good side, they are always quick and very rarely is there a line.

Today was no different. I recently bought a used car and needed a smog check for the title transfer. Thankfully, Daren took the time to double-check and realized the vehicle had already been smogged when the previous owner renewed the registration in February. Since smog inspections are valid for 90 days, I was all set! If it weren't for his attention to detail, I would have spent money unnecessarily. Thank you to Daren and the entire team--you guys are the best!

I visited this location for a smog check, only to experience the exact issues previously highlighted by other customers. If you filter the one-star reviews for "front desk" or "Nicole," a clear and troubling pattern emerges. It is disappointing to confirm that these accounts are accurate. The issues I encountered include: Unprofessional Conduct: Nicole was dismissive and remarkably rude. When I attempted to discuss the service, she was entirely unwilling to listen or provide basic professional courtesy. Pricing Discrepancies: There was a blatant refusal to honor the original price quoted. She insisted on overcharging me, disregarding the initial agreement. What is most concerning is that the owner, Julie, appears to be aware of these recurring complaints, as she frequently responds to negative feedback. However, the fact that these specific behavioral and billing issues persist suggests a lack of corrective action. As a consumer, I believe a business is only as good as its management's willingness to address systemic problems. Based on my experience and the history of similar complaints, this business really got some serious problem. Also, if you live around the Chino / Chino Hills area and see this Nicole lady, please avoid her at all cost.
