The owner and his son were friendly, and seemed to be enjoying their work and their business. I came ready to wait with reading material, but was done before I could get reading done, they were so fast! What a great price! A true gem. Oh, and I came in in the last half hour of the day, and they were happy to accommodate me. So impressive. read more

I had an appointment and I got there early. They were able to take me before my scheduled appointment which was very nice. I couldn't believe how quickly the smog check took. I think I checked my email and text messages and in less than what felt like maybe 10 minutes it was all over. It makes me wonder what the hell they were doing with my car and all the other places I have taken it before. LOL. They automatically sent my paperwork to the DMV so it was super simple and really affordable. It's a little bit hard to find this place so you kind of have to drive slowly or if you miss it you have to go around the block. I must have driven past this place four thousand times and never knew it was there but now that I know it's there I will be a repeat customer. Thank you guys for an awesome experience. read more

Found Value Smog on Yelp. Called day of, no need for an appointment. Arrived about 10:30 a.m. I handed over my key, sat down, opened up my iPad... my smog check was completed. Price was great. Amazing! Will be back in 2 years when my car needs another inspection. Thank you guys. read more

This place is by far the best smog check in the Valley. I didn't have an appointment, I just stopped by and was in and out within 15 minutes. The owner was very professional and polite and values his customers. Affordable, amazing customer service, highly recommend to anyone that needs a smog check. Only place I will go from now on! read more

I just had a great experience here. I took my car in for a smog check and I was out within 15 minutes. The service was professional and the guy was very honest. This is after I had a bad experience with another smog company who could not smog my car but charged me an absorbent amount for the check and diagnosis. When I told Value Smog Check my experience he said all I needed to do was drive the car more since it was sitting in my garage for a month. That's what I did and it passed. I highly recommend Value Smog Check. This is an honest business. read more

Called Joe after finding his 5 star reviews on Yelp and he didn't disappoint. Joe asked a couple of questions about the car and set a noon appointment with me. He said it would take 20 minutes. I got there at noon and my car was ready at 1215pm. Dont forget to use your Yelp app for the discount. I was out the door and happy for $45. read more

These guys are great! I was shopping for a Smog Check, and most places in Palm desert were charging $65 - 70, which seemed high. Value Smog advertised a $39.75 price plus $8.25 for the state certificate. They agreed to take me at 8:00 the next morning. I arrived 10 minutes early, and they were ready to go. The entire testing process was quick & easy, seemed like less than 10 minutes. They even allowed me to bring my dog into their lobby. Everything was very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Value Smog for years, always great service, he's fast and trustable which is hard to find these days!!!

Both very professional-I love that they send the certification to the CMV directly. Thats very helpful!!! I come here every year without fail! read more

Joe is without a doubt one of the most professional, friendly, knowledgeable business owners I've ever met. He runs a clean business; the waiting room is spotless; he didn't keep me waiting (I was finished in 10 minutes, including paperwork). I will certainly recommend Value Smog to all I know. Thank you Joe! read more

I went to this shop about a week ago and they told me I had an exhaust Leak in my 97 Acura. Well I went to a more trusted source a business my friends dads own and he told he sees no signs of leaks. So I'm guessing they lied to me. They didn't charge me but it's the fact they told me false information I wouldn't recommend coming to this place. Also I want to add they didn't even do the smog they looked at it for like 2 minutes and said it won't pass bc there is an exhaust leak. QUICK UPDATE: Your shop is terrible. You barely inspected my car. I just took it to my friends shop and it Passed smogged so obviously you guys do not know what you're Doing. read more

Awesome service, and there are none cheaper! Also pointed out that someone, probably me forgot to tie something down and fixed it for free.

Fast and friendly!! Like the other reviews I barely had time to sit and check emails... And Done!!

Staff are EXTREMELY friendly. Second time I've had my smog check done here. Showed up just over 15 minutes early for my appointment and I was out before my actual appointment time. Cannot ask for better service than that. Highly recommend. read more

Quick and efficient and yes, super friendly! He pointed out that there was a fastener missing on the air filter cover so suggested we look for a part online and watch videos on youtube to repair it. Very nice, he cares about the people that walk through his door. Very respectful. Also his inspection price is fair at $48. read more

Had to get smog test done today for DMV and I looked this place up on Yelp. It's all that is advertised. I pulled up, the guy said he could take me right away, even without an appointment. I was literally there 20 mins and then back on the road. It was about $50, half of what most other places were asking for and they couldn't even get me in today. Would recommend trying this place first, very professional and helpful. read more

I selected Value because the advertised price was right. The service was excellent. I got there before my appointment and Joe took me right away. The whole test was done in less than 15 minutes. Joe was very pleasant and helpful. read more

This place is great! Needed a minor repair before the check. They let me know which part I needed and even offered to install it at no charge. Part replaced, got smog certificate and price was right. Very friendly, courteous and helpful. I'd definitely go back and highly recommend it. read more
