**You must present the Yelp check in $10 discount PRIOR to the inspection to receive the discount** Regular costs for smog check is $50. They almost did not accept my check-in discount when it came time to pay because I didn't show it to them before hand... My issue is that all of their advertisement posters say smog check $39.99 (no Yelp check in discount mentioned). By law they should abide by the price that they are advertising. I did not appreciate that they were trying to charge $50 on top of giving me a hard time for not showing them the coupon beforehand. Overall the service was very fast. I was in and out within 10 minutes. Will I come back though? Probably not. :( **CASH ONLY** read more

Last Thursday, I had to renew my registration. So I drove to the Fontana DMV and tried to renew it via machine but was not able to because I barely noticed I needed a certified smog. Looked up nearby places that had "no pass no pay" offers and found Los Compadres on craigslist. Service was fast, efficient, & a great price for me. $35 for smog that was awesome for me! Originally $40 but you get $5 off when you check in on yelp and that is exactly what I did. I'm from the Dino and shops around my area costs me about $60 to $70 . So I was super happy about the price because registration fees are already a dip in my pockets LOL read more

TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!! WAY DOWN!!! Service started good. The young men there were very helpful. My 07 Equinox didn't pass cause one of the sensors was malfunctioning. Dude charged me $180 to pass, since I needed to pay my tags the same week I paid and got it over with. After I went to get the cash (CASH ONLY) I noticed that they went through my glove compartments took papers out and some pictures and left them on the driver side floor. I'm assuming they were looking for something to steal. Good thing I don't have anything that has monetary value. Safe to say I won't be going back there. I'll just fix whatever issue it has so it can pass next time. read more

Just took my 02 escalade in today and was out in 15 min . Best price in town and great customer service . I was told by the tech (leo) that my obd2 port had no power to it and instead of sending me on my way to try to get it fixed he advised me that it might be a fuse he checked out the fuse box and sure enough he found a blown fuse and replaced it and was able to continue with the smog text .

I guess since I'm not a regular or a friend, I was treated differently They were hung up on trying to see what other issues without running the smog. I don't know what the hold up was or if they were unfamiliar with the truck. Or if I was bothering them But after all that, they ended up failing the truck and also charging 80 dollars. Surprising since other smog shops won't charge you if you fail. The only highlight was the female technician took the time to explain the results. The others seemed sarcastic/annoyed and more interested in my truck and seeing if I'll sell rather than helping me with the situation.

Hello all, to whom may read this wondering about the bad reviews and what not, I am the new technician there, since November 2022. I have not received one bad complaint and hope all who had a bad experience can overcome the past technicians and give me a try. I've been smogging vehicles since 2006 and take pride in my work. If you HAVE HAD a bad experience just come on by the shop, you'll see no laziness, rudeness, or any negative energy ANYMORE. Also I'd like to add the guy in the corner in the front is a CROOK. He steals customers saying he is me, telling people his name is my name. Beware. My dad worked there for 25+ years and he bought the back shop to which that guy tells people, who ask for my dad, that he died or is in jail, when really he just moved to the back shop. Karma sucks and I believe a good people will always win at the end, & believe me that guy is no good. If you have any smog needs or would like to give us a recommendation or another shot, whatever the case may be, I'm your guy. See you at Compadres Smog. Ask for Mark read more

*CASH ONLY* I called this place and asked how much the smog check was, the guy who answered was very polite and gave me a straightforward answer, "it's $49.99 but if you check-in the Yelp app you get $10.00 off so it would be $40.00 out the door." He also said if the car doesn't pass, they won't charge me until I fix the problem and take it back and it passes. When I got there they helped me immediately (it was pretty empty at the time) and they gave me a 15-minute waiting period until the test was complete. I felt like they only took 6 minutes and when the test was done, the guy walked over to the waiting area where I was at, gave me a nice cold water bottle for free, gave me my keys, and told me it passed. I paid them and they thanked me for letting them check my car and asked nicely for a review. I'll definitely come back next year to this place for my smog check. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family to come here for their cars 10/10. Thanks Compadres! read more
