    I was in and out in 10 minutes for a smog check. Affordable prices. Good Service. I'll go there next time.

    I know this is the place to go in Ripon for smog service. They were fast and accurate and less expensive than the other guy in Ripon.

    I just moved from out of town and called Nick at Ripon Smog and he stayed late and waited for me on a holiday weekend.

    Evelyn is amazing! Loved the customer service here, it's so hard to get great service these days!…read more We broke the headlight connector trying to change a headlight the morning of my daughter's driving test. Her test was at 10am and we made it to the shop just after 8am. They had it fixed just in time to get her to her appointment. Thank you for squeezing us in, we will definitely be back for more services!

    I'm not sure who I spoke with throughout this entire experience, but the communication was lacking…read moreand poor and that's putting it kindly. They came recommended by Les Schwab. Normally I take all my vehicles to Adam at Ripon Auto, but wanted to give another business in town a try. So I went. My vehicle was leaking oil. They kept my car for 7 days. 3 days after having my vehicle I heard nothing. No update, no timeline, nothing. I called several times and left messages, throughout that time and managed to get minimal responses after 3 days during which they provided me with a timeline, which ultimately ended up being inaccurate. After that I didn't hear anything, for another 2 days after I called and texted, nothing again. Finally I had my spouse make contact and they responded to him, but not me. After responding to him, they finally called me. When I went to pick up my car, it still wasn't done by the time they told me to come in (this is on the 7th day). They still had finishing touches to make apparently. Which to clarify, is fine, but after you've had my car for 7 days it would be nice not to have to wait longer if it's not actually ready when I was told it would be. I was charged about $1,300 to remove the fresh oil I just put, a diagnostic, new oil to replace the oil they removed (why couldn't the oil I JUST got be stored to reuse? And before anyone tells me that's not possible, it is, ask any mechanic), clean everywhere the oil went apparently, put a new part in (I can't remember what) and doing all of this would supposedly fix the leaking oil issue. It did not. I was left furious and anxious by the lack of communication, information, respect for my time, and ultimately ability to not even fix the leak. They told me to bring it back if it was still having issues but why would I put myself through that experience again? It wasn't cheap and I had an awful experience. I finally was able to save enough money to take it to a mechanic again eventually and took it to Adam at Ripon Auto. But before taking it I went back to Peterson to get my receipt reprinted so Ripon Auto could see what all they "did". Upon entering Peterson's office no one was at the front desk and I timed it because yes after having gone through everything I did I was feeling petty. It took almost 25 minutes for someone to come and reprint a receipt for me, who also didn't seem overly concerned with customer service. Anyways, Ripon auto was able to fixe the leak, informed me that Peterson did the work incorrectly and how they did it incorrectly, kept my vehicle for 2.5 days, called me everyday to keep me updated and informed, were less than half the price Peterson charged me, and were kind. I really wanted to have a good experience here, but unfortunately did not. I left feeling taken advantage of. Hopefully others have a better experience.

Steve called me by 2 told me it was the starter and quoted me a price roughly $200 less than I thought it would be. He said they could get to it first thing in the morning. No problem. By the time I got off work at 5 (same day) Bradley called to say I could pick it up. Steve waited for me after closing and it cost $80 less than the estimate. Steve and Bradley were very professional and had me back on the road in 4 hours! Highly recommend 10/10

We understand that smog checks on older vehicles are not always quick or painless, and that issues can come up. However, the interaction itself made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. The gentleman we dealt with was short and somewhat flippant when explaining why the smog could not be completed due to an issue with the catalytic converter. A bit more time and willingness to explain the issue clearly would have gone a long way, rather than assuming the customer should already understand technical details. Because the issue was related to emissions, we asked about the type of repair work that might be needed to address the problem and potentially allow the vehicle to pass smog. We were prepared to move forward, but the response felt dismissive, as though our questions or business were not of interest. The price for the smog itself was reasonable, but the lack of clear communication and the overall tone left us with the impression that we were an inconvenience rather than customers looking for help. Ultimately, that confirmed we won't be back.
