Yelp led me to this Dekra location for my latest emissions inspection. The reviews are polarized --…read morea bunch of five-star reviews and a few one and two-star reviews. My three-star rating is because I waited almost 1.5 hours to get my emissions checked here. That's by far the longest I've waited at any emissions place over the last ~25 years. I came here because the place I'd been going to in recent years was temporarily closed. I pulled up to the lot at 2:18pm on an ordinary Thursday. The time printed on my report was 3:39pm. When I pulled up, there were nine cars ahead of me. The cars were packed in and the tail end of my car (just a little bit) was sticking out onto Collier Rd. It wasn't clear where else go to because the Goodwill next door doesn't want Dekra customers in their lot. The guy in the SUV ahead of me got tired of waiting and left. A woman in an SUV behind me looked agitated and annoyed with the wait. If you come here, be prepared to wait. Hopefully, you'll get lucky like some of the other Yelpers here. This is a one-man shop. I was seen by the manager "Mr. Ben" Benjamin Floyd, who's mentioned in many of the reviews. I believe it's just him and one other inspector who works at this location. Mr. Ben is a personality. He's a talker and we hit it off immediately, joking around and shooting the breeze. I could tell he did the same with others ahead of me, because some of their faces lit up, as well as with others who left reviews (hence all the five-star ratings). He runs a tight ship and isn't afraid to put people in their place if they give him a hard time. He is trying to get cars through as fast as he can, but this location is very busy. This is a tiny place. I saw Mr. Ben had a deal where he'll do your emissions test ($25) and install two Rain-X wiper blades for $65. On-site is a porta-john and a quick hand carwash. I saw two small ladies working the carwash on the other side of the emissions testing structure.

The "Deutscher Kraftfahrzeug" is where "DEKRA" comes from. Read their Wiki for some interesting history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekra I had time since I was waiting in line. At the time of writing this review, Dekra has 20 inspection stations in Georgia, all in metro Atlanta: https://www.dekra.us/en/georgia/georgia-inspection-stations/ Mr. Ben told me wait times are much better if you come first thing in the morning: 8am, Monday-Friday and 9am, Saturday-Sunday. He told me this Dekra location was experiencing an unusually higher demand than normal at the time.

The station itself is in the parking lot off of Canton Rd and East Piedmont. in a shopping strip called Market Square. There is a Big Lots and the Cobb County car tag office is located in here as well. Most of the time I've not had to wait. I just pull right up. They do what they do and I go in the small waiting room for about 10 minutes or so. Nothing to it. Easy. Painless and leaves me plenty of time to go sit in traffic on Canton Road....

Before driving away, I pulled over and googled what size my car needed. Then I looked at my receipt. He installed the wrong size. I went back inside & Gary said he's out of the correct size. I told him I want a refund because substituting the wrong size should be MY choice, not his. He took off the new blades, put my old ones back on & gave me a refund. A week later my credit card statement showed Gary only gave me credit for one blade! They owe me another $27.99. I went in person this morning & Gary said he can't pull up the order in the computer to issue my refund. He said his "area manager" would call me about issuing my credit. I haven't heard from anyone. I've disputed it on my credit card. Very shady way of doing business. Would not recommend.
