Alex was so knowledge about what was CA legal for the catalytic converters on my van. I spent 2.5 hrs at some other smog check place and the guy failed it because he said they were tampered. I don't recall every changing those catalytic converters and if I did, it would have been more than 10 years. So how did it pass through all these smog check before. The mechanic just didn't know or didn't even mention about what part numbers were legal or not for those converters. So I went to Alex and he did say that those converters were CA legal. He did some pre-checks to ensure that I'm not going to the same ordeal with the previous clueless mechanic. Alex was so helpful and knowledgeable. I will be going to him for all my smog checks. read more

Valley Smog Test is a "Smog Test only" Center where you can both have your car checked and registered (including getting the tags right away) while passing time in their waiting room area. *Make sure to print out a coupon from their website (saved $20). +Reasonable prices. +Free WiFi +Friendly Staff. -Additional $20 charge for the option to have your car registered in-house. Then again, at least they have that option! This is a relatively small location (I think it's run by perhaps 2-3 people) that really has a friendly atmosphere and pleasant waiting room area. They were quick (my car was checked in under 15 Min) and I was also able to register my car and get my tags all under the same roof. The free wifi was a definite bonus and even though I didn't have time to have any of the complimentary coffee, it's nice to know it was there. read more

Valley Smog Test MV - The front desk is free and waiting! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Renewal registration required a smog certificate from a Star rated station. I called and was given an estimate and a link for a $20 discount coupon. I live relatively close by so went there with no one in front of me. They took my SV in right away, after some 15 minutes or so, I received my Pass Smog Cert and was on my way. I believe this station is honest and with the coupon, pricing was competitive. The shop was clean and the wait not long at all. In the future, if one of my vehicles requires a Star Cert, this it the shop I will go to and recommend it for others as well. read more

Quick and efficient! You will find these guys in a commercial park off the road. They have tv, toys and games to keep the whole family entertained while you vehicle is getting a smog test. Thank you Valley Smog for your customer service and being fast! read more

Outstanding service I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. They even gave me a discount that I knew nothing about. I will definitely be back and recommend to my family and friends. read more

I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp! It was clean inside, had restrooms for its customers, was air conditioned, and they were fast..need I say more? This place is tucked away on a side street but it's right near the freeway. If you need a smog check this is THE place to go. And the owner was friendly which goes a long way when it comes to deciding where to spend your money. read more

Absolutely the best smog test center I have ever been to. They go the extra mile to help make sure the vehicle passes. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will never go to a different test center ever again. They have won my loyalty. Highly recommended read more

I've come here for my last 3 or 4 smog checks and this place has the best prices and is always fast and friendly.

This place was as good as any and better than most smog shops. Personally I don't expect a lot when I go to auto service/repair type shops. In a bigger facility that employs a receptionist type person at the front desk I would hope for a great customer service type experience. In this case there was only one person working so he did everything. His customer service was fine. He was respectful and helpful. I had a unique situation with some exhaust repairs and he listened and help me make sure my vehicle was OK. In a small shop like this competency is more important that a cheerful demeanor. As others noted the waiting room is better that most. Again, i don't expect a lot here as a fancy waiting room with complimentary refreshments serves to drive up prices. It was clean, they had cold water and a place to sit so I was fine. I didn't look for the free wi-fi but did see the TV, games, books, etc. that others have mentioned. My smog check was done in about 15 minutes. There was no one there or waiting when I went on a Monday afternoon. You can easily get this done on a lunch break. With 2000 and newer vehicles they don't even put them on the dyno or measure emissions any more. Just a visual inspection and computer check. As a tip for finding a smog check station in general, ASK QUESTIONS!! Their job is to check your vehicle, not interview you about the 50 possible reasons you may not pass. If you have had any repairs or any problems with you vehicle in the past few weeks or months let them know and ask if it will impact your inspection. Key items are if the check engine light has been on, even if it went off or you just had it clear from a repair. A recent code can still fail you. Also, if you have had the battery replaced or disconnected in the past few days/weeks. This can reset counters that will cause you to fail. Smoke out of the tail pipe. If you have other items ask them about them. Pass or don't pay is not an automatic, so if they don't advertise it, don't be surprised if you have to pay for a failed test. One final tip. If you go here, check their website for coupons. I did and got out the door for $49.00. read more

Don't Forget to print out the coupon on their website!! I was very lucky that I arrived when there was no one else here, 9 am on a Tuesday. Gentleman, Omar, at the front desk is very helpful, polite and funny! Pros: 1. No hassles, No pushing, They want to save you money! 2. Very affordable! 3. They will work with you! 4. Free wifi 5. Lots of toys/games (xbox, gamecube, disney movies, board games) for kids (I don't have any kids, but I understand distraction can be key to a peaceful day) 6. Comfortable Chairs! 7. Free coffee, tea, and candy! 8. Register and print out stickers in house, extra $25, but if you are doing your smog check -$5 or bring in the coupon for the $20, either way, $20. Cons: 1. Kind of tucked away on a side street I still highly recommend this place, the side street is negligible, just as long as you have a sense of direction. If you live in the area, come on down and say hi to Omar and the crew! read more

This is a great place to get your vehicle smogged. I'd only realized I needed a smog certificate the morning I was going to pay my registration renewal. Looked this place up on Yelp and the reviews are accurate. Nice place, friendly staff and fast. I showed up just as they were closing on a Saturday at noon, they didn't mind - great customer service. Another lady turned up while mine was bing processed and they took her too. Can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

Just gave this place a call to ask a question and the man who answered had no phone etiquette at all. He was rude and sounded annoyed that I called. Which I am sure he probably was. But you've got to realize that you are working customer service. Being friendly is part of the job even when you're having a bad day. I'm taking my business somewhere else due to that employees rudeness on the phone. read more

This place is great! They were very friendly, and very fast. The place is kind of hard to find, it's in the corner in a business park. I would definitely come here again and recommend this business to anyone! read more

IF its not one thing its another . Try to get my car smog by this place for two weeks now and every time i go or call its a 2 hr wait . they dont make appointments and all they say is your out of luck.. I dont see how its a 2 hr wait when there is one person in your waiting room and not making appointments and telling me i need to work around you . wow i found another smog place with no wait and they where super friendly !!! read more

Great place. We've taken all our vehicles there for over 15 years. They're fast and efficient. Great bunch of guys.

I was lucky enough to walk in with no one else waiting. The entire process took about 20-25 minutes. The staff is very friendly an they even offer free coffee and tea. There are also plenty of distractions for little ones, including videos, games, and books. I highly recommend this business! read more

Worst place to get smoged. Tried to go in Saturday and no technician and then called Tuesday afternoon to verify we could get smoged on wed, we showed up and no technician. Counter person could care less was too busy with personal calls. Don't waste your time or money here read more

Great and friendly service. They finished within 25 minutes. Oh yeah, don't forget to print out coupon, it help a lot. Definitely come back again. :) read more

Best smog place I have been to thus far. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Usually there isn't much of a wait and they get the test done relatively quick. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

It's hard to get overly excited about a Smog test, but I did. Decided to go here based on what fellow Yelpers said. I was able to get it all done during my lunch break. I walked in with no one else being serviced. The tester came right in, got my keys, and started immediately. I was in and out in 20 minutes. I passed, so there was no funny business going on. read more

Very friendly staff. Have great coupons online. They have you checked in, smog done in about 15 minutes. Also have coffee in their waiting area, as well as complimentary wifi. Had a great experience here. Staff conduct themselves in a very professional manner and like they actually value your business. read more

Highly Professional and Skilled team! I was in and out in 15 minutes. I called prior and the manager let me know that there would be a wait. I showed up after the wait time and got right in the bay for my Smog. 15 minutes in and out. The waiting area is clean, the manager was friendly to talk to while my car was being done. The employee who did the smog was super nice and knew what he was doing. Super professional shop. 5 Stars! Highly Recommend! read more

Friendly staff, no hassle service! First location I had tried willingly, however i was not certain how this location fared against the competition in the area. Walked in and was immediately greeted by the staff. It was half an hour before closing time and asked if they were willing to smog my car even though it was close to closing time. Surprised to say they were glad to do so! The staff were friendly, which sometimes you don't get. Upon initiating smog check paper filing, I was asked some quick questions regarding information that was needed. The whole process took about 30 minutes due to my car being a little older, fortunately everything went without a hitch. In the mean time I had sat in the air conditioned lobby with some chilled water that they had available from a water cooler at no cost. The only gripe i have is at the time they did not inform me about the free wi-fi or how to access it. Would go again and recommend this location! read more

I have been coming to Valley smog for about 7 years now. I wouldn't trust anybody else in town with my vehicles. They have a professional and very friendly staff. read more

I have no problems with them & I been going here before the new management came in, still fast service & unlike most smog shops in Moreno Valley, this shops equipment won't detect any check engine light codes. I hope this place never shuts down cause I would be very LOL read more

I will come again. The enviorment is well suited for children of young ages and they had many books and things to keep you excited...the next thing i knew, it was time to go, cant get better than that. read more

friendly staff. nice lobby area (clean, comfy, & lots of kid friendly distractions). print their coupon from their website for a better deal. if youve been here before, they have a return customer discount ($15 off from original price). ive been here before, but the coupon ended up being cheaper. great service! read more
