I was looking for a location to complete the emissions test after purchasing a used car in Arizona,…read moreas it was required to transfer the title. ECO SMOG advertised a one-stop service, which made it the obvious choice to save time. I stopped by without an appointment directly after returning from Arizona, about 1.5 hours before closing. Dru initially informed me that there might not be enough time to complete everything since he already had other appointments scheduled. I understood and was completely fine with that since I did not have an appointment. There were a few cars ahead of me, so I waited about 15-20 minutes before it was my turn. Dru completed the VIN verification and emissions test on my vehicle. He then mentioned that the next appointment was running late and offered to fit my car in for the title transfer and registration so I could receive my plates and tags without needing to return. I was very excited to hear that, as it saved me an additional trip to the DMV or AAA. Dru was professional, efficient, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. It's clear that customer service is a priority here. The convenience of having everything handled in one place made the experience smooth and stress-free. While some other places may offer coupons for less expensive emissions testing, the value of top-notch service and genuine customer care is well worth it. The time saved and the quality of service provided made the experience far more valuable. Thank you, Dru, for going the extra mile to help me out. I highly recommend this business to anyone who needs smog services or assistance with vehicle registration. It was a great experience from start to finish.

I made an appointment through their website, very user friendly, and received a confirmation text shortly after. I decided I needed to modify my appointment, there didn't seem to be an option to do it on the website, so I texted the number back and asked to change my appointment, this was done quickly without issues. I arrived to my appointment 10 mins early. Dru was very helpful, friendly and professional. He entered my car's info into the system, and once my car passed the smog check, everything was updated and entered into the system already so that when I pay my registration, the DMV (or in my case, AAA) will see that my car passed the smog test. In case the system isn't updated, I was provided with a hard copy certificate to prove that it passed. My entire appointment took 10mins altogether, can't beat that! Pricing was fair and affordable, depends on the year of your car. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a quick smog check station.

I stopped by South Bay Smog Check after getting a quote and had a positive experience with the…read moretechnician there. He was patient, professional, and took the time to clearly explain the requirements for performing a smog test. I drive a mid-engine sports car, and because of California's stricter smog inspection standards, technicians are required to visually inspect certain engine and emissions components. Since my engine is covered and requires tools to access, the technician explained that he wouldn't be able to perform the test unless the engine bay was accessible. He also clarified that it's not their responsibility to remove engine covers. I mentioned that in the past I had smog checks done without needing to remove the engine cover. Instead of getting annoyed or dismissive, he calmly explained that those technicians likely didn't follow the procedure correctly and that the visual inspection is required so they can verify certain emissions components and stickers. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the reasoning behind it and educate me on the process. Even though I ultimately went somewhere else because I found a better quote, I still wanted to leave a review because the technician was respectful, patient, and very professional throughout the interaction. I thanked him for taking the time to explain everything. Overall, a very courteous and professional experience.

Brought my car in Monday, was told they would contact me monday, or Tuesday at the latest. Wednesday rolled around and I had not heard from them so I called in. They patch me through to the mechanic who OF COURSE tells me I need a new engine. My car was making a knocking noise which I thought was maybe a loose valve rocker, or worst case a rod bearing. The noise was coming from the top of the engine, so I was thinking valve related. Here's where it got super suspicious. The mechanic told me there was zero oil in my car, and that the engine codes I had given them were of no help. As fact, I had checked my oil the day before driving in, and it was at the perfect level. As fact, I did not give them any codes. I assured the mechanic there was oil in the car, he told me there was none and my engine was cooked. Needed a new one. I asked for pricing. He gave me a ballpark but said he can check around for a reconditioned engine. I asked him to put together a full, formal estimate and let me know a price. He said he would get back to me today or tomorrow. I didn't hear back at that day or the next, so on friday I called in and said I will be picking up my car. And this is the wild part. As I walk up to the place, I see my car parked our front. Same make, same model, same color. TURNS OUT, it was not my car. Mine was parked out back. I drove my car across the street, parked, popped the hood and checked the oil. Completely perfect level. I sincerely beleive that they looked at the other car that was just like mine, which probably had no oil, and they read me the diagnosis for that car. Frustrated, I go home and start watching youtube videos about engine noises and possible fixes. 400 bucks in parts later and a lot if swear words, my car is no longer making the knocking noise and is running great. Maybe it was a fluke that they had two Chrysler 300s there at the same time, but it was wild how bad the communications were, and how the mechanic just flat out didn't believe me when I said it had plenty of oil and I never gave them codes. While I am happy to have saved anywhere from 8000 to 10,000 bucks, it does not sit well with me that I paid 200 bucks for non responsiveness and a diagnosis that was 100% off. For the algorithm, below is a picture of my engine taken apart by me. Oh that reminds me, based on the condition of the engines dirt and grime, I am even MORE convinced that they never touched my engine.
