Thanks to Mark and Justin! While already overwhelmed with vehicles, they ran it smoothly. Brought them my RV right in the middle of it all, only to be in and out faster than expected. Price was fair and it felt good spending the money in town like always. They will be servicing my family's herd of car's for sure! Thanks again men. read more

Quick, professional and price is awesome. Was able to pull right in. I had one vehicle in front of me and was greeted immediately by technician. Took my information quickly and shortly after was my turn. Service went quickly and was in and out. Thank you!!! Cheers read more

Everytime we have brought our car and truck to be smog, they have always done it as quickly as possible. The crew, all of them are very friendly and work fast to get you in and out. Very quick and efficient! Excellent service and price points. So nice to have a friendly place in Ramona, You want to be treated with respect and like they have known you forever then you need to go here. read more

they are not qualified for all autos. they didn't have the correct gas cap to pressure check my 1991 Mitsubishi mighty max pickup. their cap leaked after multiple attempts. Then they printed out that my truck failed when it was their wrong cap that leaked. I told them that they FAILED their smog check due to their improper equipment and they gave me a no charge and sent me on my way. read more

Efficient, simple, professional. Inconvenient task of Smogging the car made as painless as possible. Thanks!

I love this place this is my second time bringing my cats and they're great and quick in and out within 5 minutes

This is the spot for a quick drive thru service you walk in the wait is not long at all the people running the show are very nice.

Very quick and efficient! I was in and out in 20 minutes or less. No waiting. The staff was very efficient!

As always am waiting to the last possible second to get my smog checked. Was able to get right in despite being an unscheduled walk in. Guys are funny and personable. Us vets have to stick together! Anywho go here if you need your smog checked for fast and reliable service (and maybe a joke or two)! read more

What an outstanding business this is!! They treated me with respect and dignity and knew their business like nobody else's !! Excellent service and price points -- I'll never take any of my cars anywhere else ! A TREASURE! A GEM in the heart of the country... a LIGHT in the dark skies above !! read more

Friendly. Helpful. I had one unfortunate visit with a fill-in a year ago, but been in twice since (I have too many vehicles) and the owner has been great. FYI the owner responded to my post and apologized that I had a sub par experience that time. Very friendly, keeps things moving. I will continue to bring my cars here. read more

Very friendly service and I was in and out with no problems or delays- did not need an appointment :)

I was pleasantly surprised how painless and quick getting my car smogged here was. In the past I have gone to other smog locations, had to make appointments, and still waited at least an hour for it to be completed. I pulled in toward the end of the day, no appointments needed, wasn't sure if they would have time, and they welcomed my business. Super fast, reasonably priced, clean shop (you don't see that often) and a very friendly staff. Highly recommend read more

Called about 230 asking if I could come by around 4 they said no problem. Showed up and was helped out right away, both of the gentlemen there were friendly and fun and got my car smogged in less than 10 minutes. Only place I would get my car smogged again! read more

The smog shops in this vicinity have similar pricing, so we all depend on each others reviews to get a sense of a shop's capability, efficiency, integrity, cleanliness, and comfort. As evident by other reviews, this shop has it all. When I arrived, there were 5 cars ahead of me, and I was promptly advised how long the wait could be. The shop has two bays, so the cars moved through more quickly than I expected while I waited in a comfortable room. My pre-2000 pickup passed easily; I paid, was thanked, and happily on my way. I will be a repeat customer. read more

Great service very helpful when I smogged my car and in my opinion worth the money. I would recommend it to anyone who needs it. Plus I will go back when I have to smog my car again. read more

As a newer resident of Ramona, I have been on the lookout for a smog shop close to home, and was beyond stoked with my experience at Ramona Smog Station! Friendly service, fairly priced, and I was in and out in about ten minutes tops. They also have a shop in Poway if you find yourself down the hill looking for a smog shop. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you guys for your help today! :) read more

Update- David messaged me to make things right. Said I could bring the vehicle today and would take care of me. I brought the vehicle in at the agreed time. I was helped right away, passed my inspection and was on my way with very little wait. This is the service I am accustomed to at Ramona Smog station. I have been a customer for many years and will continue to bring my vehicles in when my registration documents indicate a smog is needed. THANKS again! read more

Second time I've come here, and the service is always amazing. Jimmy is honest, and the prices are fair. I was convinced my truck was gonna fail, it passed! The only thing he said was an issue was my gas cap, which he replaced for me free of charge. I always recommend this Smog Station to anyone who lives here in Ramona! read more

Came here to get my vehicle's smog test done. They were quick, efficient and had a reasonable price. Thank you for the fast service.

Quick, friendly, and efficient. Look for coupons in the local Ramona newspapers...that will save you a few bucks! Comfortable waiting area with plenty to read and even a water dispenser. 5 stars all the way around. read more

I have been using Ramona Smog Station for all my cars (and a motor home) for about 6-7 years. Jimmy and his crew are the best. No BS, prompt and friendly service and a fair price every time. Jimmy also helped me get a project car (never buy a non-CA car that your son thinks will be a great project) road worthy. The large number of times I had to come back had me concerned I would wear out my welcome - this was not the case. Jimmy gave me tips, contact info for a local expert and best of all - always was glad to see me. Even though many of those trips in were not money makers on their own, I can tell you that Jimmy will be smogging every car me and my family ever owns. Great shop, highly recommended. read more

Been here several times and always good service. Most recently brought our RAV4 in and they are kind, quick, and efficient. I enjoy having them as a resource in town! read more

Had to smog my car twice because I haven't driven it in a year and haven't done maintenance on it. I had 3 different people help me the times I've been in, all nice and masked. The waiting room was very clean. The price is cheap and so was the retest and service was fast. My car passed the 2nd test . read more

I had the most delightful time getting my car smogged today. The two gentlemen who were working were funny, personable and charming. I know I only need to get my car smogged annually, but I would definitely stop in for the giggles. Thanks you guys! read more

I think this is the only test only smog station in Ramona and has been open little over a year. The other 3 or 4 places offering smog checks are repair facilities. It's also one of the only places open on Saturdays and doesn't require an appointment. There can be a bit of a line, but since its check only and the operator is efficient, it moves pretty fast. If you have a late model car that usually has no smog test challenges, this is the place to go to whip through without drama and at the lowest price in town. read more

My car (which failed at Ramona Smog Station) was tested this morning (at another Smog Check-Only Station). The only repair was reconnecting the Oxygen Sensor that Ramona Smog reported was already connected. Car passed, first try. I'm happy about this, but if I had just gone to another station to begin with, I wouldn't have wasted time, money, and misinformation about my car. read more

I have an older car (2002 Acura), and it was my third attempt at getting it passed at this location. The first time, we had just replaced the battery and the computer was not reset completely, so it failed. I returned after driving what I assumed was enough miles (50-100) , and the computer was still not reset. The technicians understood, and let me go and drive the 50 miles they recommended, and I returned the following morning. They were quick, I arrived at 8:05 and they were finished by 8:25, and they were extremely kind! My white, fluffy dog was in the back seat, all in their business when they were trying to do their job. I asked if they'd like me to calm her down (she loves meeting new friends), they replied she's perfectly fine. I passed the third try, thanks to their support, recommendations, and help. They go above and beyond other smog stations I have personally been to over the years of having to smog both my car and my elderly parents' vehicles. Their prices are also very fair, especially for the service and friendliness they provide! I paid $58 dollars for a smog, but larger vehicles will cost more. Thank you so much, Ramona Smog Station! I will continue to bring my vehicles here. read more

Took my truck in and was in/out in about 15 minutes with no appointment. The technician asked if the check engine light had been on or if I'd had battery issues which I thought was very nice. Instead of wasting money and time he warns you up front that you won't pass if you have these issues. The technician was very friendly, knowledgeable and the price was the lowest in town ($48 with the certificate). Will definitely be back. read more

Ramona Smog Station earned my business today. Jimmy treated me like a customer instead of a nuisance. His price was very reasonable and he had me out of there quickly. The next time you need a smog check pull in to Ramona Smog Station. No muss, no fuss. Thanks Jimmy. You actually made getting a smog check a pleasant experience. See you in 2 years brother. read more
