Nice clean shop with professional customer service! It's always a great experience when the guy running the desk at an auto shop has a positive attitude. Great job!! No fuss, no muss - I was in and out in 15 mins. This is how it should be. Thank you, Freedom. read more

Freedom smog - Front desk - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Manteca, California

They show a $10 coupon but then tell you it doesn't apply to your vehicle. Then they advertise that they are the cheapest in Manteca. That is an absolute lie. Almost double in price than anyone else I have ever used. When my vehicle was done they made me wait so they could check in 2 other people before they gave me my keys so I could leave. I will never go there again. read more

Quick service. Helpful staff. Recommend making an appointment. Reasonable prices. Very patriotic.

I always felt comfortable going to this place. This has been my smog place go to since we moved in the area.

Great service. They let me cut the line because I had my toddler daughter with me. Thank you

On March 1st, 2021, I took my Sierra C2500 truck to Freedom Smog for a smog test. The technician's name was Joseph Gutierrez. He came out and told me that the truck passed smog but that he had checked the Turbo online and that it was IHI remanufactured replacement Turbo, not approved for California vehicles. I tried to tell him my truck was bought new and that the Turbo has not been replaced, that it was stock. Because He refused to check further, I had no other choice then to spend more money ($58) & went to A/C Automotive to see if I was wrong. I explained the issue to the technician there, he looked at it and said that it was stock with all original turbo egr, no after market parts. Performed the test and gave me the smog Certificate. I went back to Freedom Smog and asked to speak to Mr. Gutierrez about a refund, he said that he didn't care what the other place saw or did, that I could take it to the Bureau of Automotive Repair & let a referee decide. I did take it to the BAR and on April 1st, 2021 they ruled in my favor. I have called Freedom Smog several times to get the refund I deserve, but as of today May 5th, 2021 I have received nothing. It's really sad that they can get away with charging for something & not have to give a refund you when its found in your favor. I highly recommend anyone needing a smog check to go to A/C Automotive, they charge less, and was very professional. Sincerely, Gloria Stanley read more

Really 4 hrs to get a smog! You put out a coupon but really you can't use it who has 4 hrs to wait? I've always brought my cars here but after this I think I'm good! Go to Sidhu down the street. read more

I first came in here for smog check at price of $99.00. My old car failed the visual inspection but pass the smog admission test. I asked the person behind the desk if the smog retest is free. He said yes. So, I came back for the re-test 2 weeks later and the same person behind the desk now told me that the smog retest will cost $48.00 because my car was before 1999 or older. The shop did not not keep their word. read more

Took vehicle for smog check and the service was excellent. The vehicle was pulled in immediately and the wait time was very short. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick turnaround and excellent customer service. read more

3rd year coming here for a smog. Always friendly and super fast. I always call and see if it's better to walk in or make an appointment, when you have an appointment you are in and out in less than 15 minutes. We will continue to bring our cars here and recommend to anyone looking to get a smog. Thank you Freedom Smog for an amazing service! read more

Always the cheapest and best place in town to go to for your smog checks. Super fast and friendly service. Usually you can get in and out of there in less than 15mins. The waiting room is air conditioned and has a TV to watch while you wait, and a lot of Military items to look at and read. This the only place that I go to for smog checks. Keep up the great customer service! read more

Freedom smog - Right off of the website - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Manteca, California

Got at location just before opening time, 8am. It's now after 9 am, and no one has showed up for work. Doors are still locked tight. Customers come to a business for a service, not to sit and wait for the manager/employees to show for work. I watched 2 other customers leave because they were tired of waiting. I plan my day to get my smog done. I have other apps to go to, plus work tonight. It is absolutely ridiculous that the business is not open read more

Great place, a few cars in front of me but did not take long, Great Customer service, was done in no time. I would highly recommend this place, very clean inside waiting area, Price was a little more then the last place by 10 bucks, but had a coupon so it made up the difference. I would go here again! last place I went for a smog was very little sitting (2 chairs), and was not clean. read more

Great customer service!!! Fast and friendly service! I first messaged the company and requested a quote. Immediately I received a response from Christina, who was very nice and informative. It's was nice to message a human being and not a program issuing automated responses. I took my car in for a smog check and to get a certificate for the DMV. I did not make an appointment and did a walk-in so I had 4 cars ahead of me, however they are super quick. They did all this for me in about 30 minutes. I'm definitely going back for their services and I DO RECOMMEND them. Great job!!! read more

Took the vehicle in late December to get it smart for re-tag. The men at the register were aware that I knew nothing of vehicles and had failed my vehicle for multiple issues. Try to get a resmogged, and their machine was down. For three weeks. When I finally took the vehicle back in it had extended past the three months. And they wanted to charge us for a full re-smog at $109. The gentleman that I work for as well as myself are veterans and have proof of such. Freedom smog did not care and charged us at full charge. It's disgusting that this place that claims to be for veterans takes advantage of veterans and tries ripping them off for as much money as possible. Will be contacting Better Business Bureau. read more

As a veteran, I chose Freedom Smog to perform a smog on my vehicle because of their support for our military and convenient location. They offer free smogs to active military and have a coupon match statement on their website in VERY LARGE text saying they match ANY coupon. Upon entering the building and presenting a coupon for Lathrop/Ripon smog at $19.99, the employee said "that's iffy. Ill have to ask my boss." He then offered me a $29.95 coupon. Why would I pay $29.95 when your website clearly states you match coupons. I declined and asked that he check with his boss. He returned and said they couldn't do it. Don't say you'll do something if you won't. That reflects poorly on you, your character, and your business. I hope this post inspires Freedom Smog to either stand up and support what they say they will, or remove the statement from their website saying they will match coupons. It was a waste of my time to come here only to realize they are liars and cheats. On my way to Lathrop! read more

I pulled up and was informed it would take approx 40 mins before being serviced, as there were already 3 cars ahead of me. I waited only 20 mins and they took me. Gentleman at the counter was very kind and welcoming. I was in and out quickly! Reasonably priced ($65 I think?). Great place! read more

I guess it doesn't really matter that your car passes all the emission tests they do, if you have any replacement parts, their not gonna pass you. As if it isn't expensive enough to live in CA, you gotta make sure you not only have the correct emissions, but also that everything appears original. Very frustrating, specially after waiting so long. read more

Hands down. I love this place. Always professional, clean, great service. They explain everything, with recm. No hassle.... what I like most! read more

I taken all my carpet cleaning vans there and my personal vehicles as well guys are friendly and kind and helpful I highly recommend them

Went in today for a smog and all I can say is it was a wonderful experience. For one, it's 100 degrees today, and the waiting area had an AMAZING air conditioner Dustin greeted us and was extremely helpful as I only had a photo on my phone of the registration information because I left it at home. He was extremely friendly and easy to talk to! James did the smog faster than the initial time we were told. I will be coming here for every smog in the future. Really appreciate a great business like this! Thanks guys! read more

The guys who did my smog was super fast, super efficient and great. He had my car and done in 15 minutes if that. Great service.

Had to get a smog with my registration renewal. I was literally in and out of this place in 7-10 minutes! Passed with flying colors and I got a awesome deal with their groupon deal and a promo code. We will be back.....Thanks! P.s. felt very AMERICAN in there with all the flags and military decor. It was nice...thumbs up read more

This place is fantastic! Had a 9:00am appt., was in and out and home by 9:30. They are friendly, the shop is clean, and they get the job done. Will be referring them to my friends. read more

Back story - After 4 LONG months, replacing my catalytic converter (that was brand new), getting into a car accident, extension on expired tags, car in shop during the entire extension, new EGR Valve, new vacuum modulator, lots of money & TONS of frustration my car finally passed! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. Brian (who has helped me since day one) is incredible. Very helpful and makes the dreaded Smog trip more enjoyable. Even through all of the frustration of my car not passing 3 times, I had a great experience here. So thank you, Brian. You rock! Also, MAJOR plus - they support our troops! read more

This place never disappoints! I highly recommend if anyone needs a smog. They're quick on getting it done. I was given a wait time of 30 minutes. Bam! It was done in 15! Granted I've never waited long in the past but today was the shortest of all waits!! Thanks Freedom Smog!! read more

Quick, friendly and professional service. Price was affordable too. So, if you're new to the area, highly recommend this place.

GREAT PLACE to smog your car!!! Dustin was friendly and most of all seemed knowledgable which is something I can not say about the Smog Only place down the street. It was refreshing to deal with someone who seemed to have it together and got me in and out as quick as possible. They have competitive prices, the lobby is clean, has a t.v you can watch (helps the time go by faster) and they even have a little table set up for the kids with coloring books and crayons. I will be taking all my cars there from now on. Great Job guys!!! I'm sold! read more

Costumer service was excellent! My cars smog test was done in no time at all. The guy working the desk treated every person who came in with respect and professionalism. Great business! I will be taking all my vehicles there from now on. I honestly don't see how any of the other bad reviews could be true. I say ignore them and take your car to Smog Tech! *AnnA* read more

I just happened to randomly pick this shop out of the options given to me by Google. I'm very pleased I chose it! Very quick service. Great price. And I respect the appreciation given to those who serve this nation. It is right by a Starbucks and a McDonald's, so my sons and myself ate a small bite and used the WiFi. Before I knew it, the tech had completed the smog test. Thank you! We will be back again! read more

Amazing place. Patriotic as I've never seen before. Great service and extremely clean! Wonderful pictures and U.S. Flags. read more
