ECO SMOG - Smog Check & Auto Registration Service

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.

From different auto shops to even dealerships -- not one place has done as an exceptional job as One Stop Lube N Brakes.

They didn't take advantage and broke down step by step each issue and what I actually wanted to get fixed instead of overcharging.

I'm entirely confident I just got billed 200 dollars to hear the diagnosis for someone else's car…read more First, I would say communications were very poor. 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.

went to get smog checked today; just saw the place and went in; he said about 20 minutes till I could go as there was one person ahead of me waiting to go, and thats how long it took. I also told him my check engine light would sometimes go on, and he suggested that I keep my car running while I waited. The car passed and I think some of that was due to his wisdom on the matter. There was a woman next to me who had a similar issue but her light wouldnt go off. Instead of charging her I overheard him say she needed to get that fixed and then to come back afterward, as the light would mean it wouldnt pass. I think a lot of places would have gone ahead with it and failed and charged her. All in all a very friendly place, timely, and quick, 5 stars. read more

I recently visited Sky Smog located on Hawthorne Blvd. after having a bad experience at Eco Smog, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. The team at Eco Smog was honest and trustworthy, clearly explaining the process and what was needed for my car to pass the smog check. Unlike my previous experience, they didn't try to upsell unnecessary services or hide important information. I highly recommend Sky Smog for anyone looking for reliable and straightforward service. read more

My friend recommended Sky Smog so we both went. I have an '85 CJ7 Jeep & this place will smog old vehicles. There was one customer in front of us so we went to go do some errands. By the time we got back a half hour later, Stan had already ran me Jeeps through the smog test. It passed with ease because I have a Howell EFI on it so its never a problem to pass! I'll definitely be a repeat customer because Stan is a friendly man & he is efficient. Thanks so much Stan! read more
