Like a few other Yelpers on here have already mentioned, this business has fluctuating prices dependent on who knows what reasons. Came in for a requested smog on vehicle as it was due by DMV and was met with a nice man who very promptly took the vehicle from me. The problem I ran into was when time for payment was due. Online they advertise as the cheapest price in Riverside at $39.95, but the man tried to charge me an additional $17. He then tried to argue that the online price has to be mentioned at the start of service to be honored. Why? Is the online service substandard then?? I was firm on the business honoring the advertised price, which ultimately he did, but how many other customers were cowed into accepting the higher price with this type of attitude? read more

Go anywhere but here to get your car smogged! Don't be fooled by the "affordable" rates. They never sent the electronic report to DMV, we waited and waited for our tags to come. Finally went to DMV and waited in person only to be told that they never submitted the electronic report and that it was only good for 90 days. Because of them it cost us hundreds extra and we have to go get the car smogged again. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!! read more

They never submitted the electronic certificate to DMV. And. Now they're trying to charge me again double!! Do not come here!!! Be careful

These guys are awesome! So professional, nice and FAST! Highly recommend if you need a smog this is the spot!

Very friendly, fast, efficient smog check. Great service when you have to do that smog test.

I walked in yesterday 2/12/23 and was quoted $60 for a smog from a nice white guy. I wasn't able to do it because I had just done some repairs and the smog monitors needed more mileage. I come back 24hrs later and the price went up $10 from some middle eastern calling me his "buddy". I was upset but not as much as when a nice lady came in after me and asked me if I was using a coupon bc they quoted her like me. Lucky for her they honored her $50 smog coupon and I got screwed because it was already smogged by the time this happened and I put 2 and 2 together. This place is a joke. Spend your money anywhere else read more

Is $65 now but the good news is nobody is here so there is no wait. Of course if you wait any longer than 10 minutes the walking dead comes out of the shrubs, alleyways and shadows asking for change. read more

Great service, very friendly, quick and easy. The person who helped us also offered us cold water bottles, which is appreciated in the peak of summer. Pricing was reasonable and straight forward from the start. read more

Went in recently to get a smog check and was told it would be a certain fee. I figured like every other shop they would work with me until it passed but apparently here they charge 40$ extra for labor ontop of the original fee. The machine stated the catalyst wasn't ready and they still pushed it through and it showed the vehicle didn't pass. I spoke with the owner and he said for the original fee he would work with me til it got done and then later changed his mind when I showed up. My family takes about 6/7 different vehicles there and we'll make sure to take our business elsewhere. read more

I brought my 2006 Audi A4, Was able to get my smog check & certificate for $55. I had a customer ahead of me so I had to wait a little longer but I was in and out relatively fast. The smog checker is a nice guy, friendly. Felt like a smooth transaction. Would go here again! read more

This is a no frills Smog check station, but exactly what I needed to get my son's car smogged for the registration requirement. Service guy was very nice and informative, seemed to know what he was doing. Overall very pleased with how quick and efficient he was. Will come back for other vehicles and would recommend. read more

As a parent one of the things you do not look forward to is buying your teen a car. So many worries added to the already constant worries that one already has for their child. Add in a vehicle and it's over. Discount smog made it one less worry by hooking me up with a Smog check so my boy could be off and driving in his new (used) wheels. We were referred by our neighbors and discount smog is right around the corner so it was a perfect place. Right on the corner of Adams and Arlington on the north side, same side as Harvest church. Keep your eyes peeled or you just might miss them. When I got there, Jim was there to greet me and he was super friendly and I instantly knew he could be trusted. He let me know what to expect and started the check. There was no waiting so the whole process took about 20-25 minutes and the cost was $55. Well worth the piece of mind that the vehicle was up to par and my son would be one step closer to being an independent young man! Thank you Discount Smog! read more

Great place for a smog! Fast, friendly, and AFFORDABLE! I paid $55 for my SUV. Don't pass this place up!

Place is ok just an old gas station the smog tech is nice hot as could be today so that old place wasn't too comfortable and not that it effected my rating because it didn't I failed smog got in and out real quick so that was cool but what ever happen to pass or don't pay ): read more

This place is never busy when I come. I've been here several times to smog my cars and they always get me in and out quickly. The man who works here is super nice, but the facility needs some updating. But then again, who cares if you're only going to be here 15 minutes. I don't need a pretty place, just a quick smog check. And that's what I get everyt ime. read more

I have been talking my cars to this shop for about 6 years and always had a good experience. Yes, this is no fancy place but all I want is a smog check. What I like the most is that it is a smog station testing only and unlike other places that provide mechanical service and some use the Smog check to up sell work that you don't need. In this place your car either passes or fail the test. read more
