I came here very confused as it was my first time. It's next door to a mechanic shop so just ask someone if you cane find it right away and they'll direct you. I'm sure they get that question a lot. The person at the front desk was a very nice woman who processes your paperwork very quickly and you can sit on your couch while your smog check is being done. The smog check was super quick and I was out of there in barely any time. If you need a smog check, definitely consider coming here. read more

Came in for smog with no check engine lights on . I watched the guy open the gas cap and start the car .... Bamm check engine light on. I told him I saw you open the cap then start it. Guy became aggressive yelling at me said you pay now and you failed. Ummm hell no I'm not paying you just gave me a check engine code now he grabbed my arm I said that's asult he said to bad camera is broken and I kicked him lol never. These smog guys have to fail Radom cars to stay in business, unless you want the owner to fail you on purpose or try to fight you avoiding this place is a must. Will be calling bbb as well read more

Took my F250HD to get smog'ed and they were unable get it done. My truck didn't fail, their equipment could not get up to RPM on the dyno. I was most irrated not with the equipment failurebut with the owner who used almost 1/4 tank of gas and 40mIn of time trying to get it to pass. If he would of just said sorry we cannot get it done our equipment is not working I would not be writing this review. But his hurry up and get out of my shop attitude really drives this poor review. Moral of the story, trucks and SUV's need not try. read more

went to have a smog check here today..the place was alright, they didn't have that "friendly" vibe..as soon as I got there they just went down to business..no one said hi to me or whatever..everyone just seems to be so busy..it's about $60 for a smog check, last time I had a smog check at this place in Wilmington I believe it was only about $35..but this place was just down the street, had I known it was $60 beforehand though, I would've just went to the one in Wilmington even if its about 10 miles away..but oh well! took about 10mins..so it wasn't that bad..overall, it's not a bad place..but I probably won't be coming back lol read more

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.
