I showed up a little before 8a this morning, as hours are advertised as 8-5 M-F. No one showed up. I called and no one returned my call. I texted about 8:25 and no one has returned either my text or call (after 9a now). Finally left at 8:40. Good luck if you're trying to use these folks! read more

I've returned again because of California's ridiculous smog laws. That's right, again! Because this guy is amazing! The absolute nicest person I've ever met in the automotive world. I'm a huge car guy and to find someone that is rad as him is hard to find. It's a locally owned and operated business that's professional, courteous and honest. Gets you in and out quickly with no BS. Prices are exactly where they should be for a smog. Highly recommend and yes, I'll be coming back! read more

Quick to get back to me, appointment on time, friendly, quick and thorough service! Will definitely return when I need to.

Quick and transparent. I made an appointment, and Brent did my smog in 30 min. There was an issue because I recently had a battery swap and Brent explained I needed to drive a couple hundred miles so my car can give out the proper data. Because of this issue Brent gave me a retest for free a few weeks later. read more

Brent is so professional, friendly, knowledgeable. This is our second year coming here and I highly recommend it!

I've been using Palm Desert Smog for many years and highly recommend it. Brent is very professional and knowledgeable as well as being friendly and a good guy. I never had to wait longer than 15 to 20 minutes to have my car smogged and the price is very affordable. The shop is very clean and has a comfortable waiting room. And, if one is lucky enough, one will get to meet Brent's dog--Teener--who hangs out there many times. Add the fact that Brent is a huge dog/animal lover to all that was said above and going to Palm Desert Smog gets even better! read more
