I highly recommend Gregory and Vista Smog! After another smog shop wasted two days of my time, I found Vista Smog and Gregory was willing to see me immediately. My 2018 Honda Civic kept showing "Not Ready" because I don't drive much since I work from home. Gregory patiently explained the situation and told me to drive more and come back. He was honest, knowledgeable, and never once tried to scare me into taking my car to the dealer. He said he's been doing this since 1987, and you can tell. This is the kind of old-school customer service that's hard to find these days. After my car finally passed, Gregory even gave me a complimentary car wash next door, which was such a thoughtful gesture. After the week I'd had, the little smiley-face air freshener from the car wash actually made me smile. Most people only write reviews when something goes wrong. I wanted to leave one because Gregory did everything right. Honest, patient, professional, and genuinely caring about his customers. I've found my new smog guy and will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you, Gregory! read more

Gregory was amazing! He was SO nice My car was down for a couple of months, so when I took it in, it failed its smog check. He let me go back with some tips on how to pass to get retested 2 weeks after. I listened to his instructions and I passed the second time! I will not go anywhere else after this experience. 10/10 recommended! read more

Came for a walk-in and Ahmad was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to service! He also offered a coupon which was a great price and very much appreciated :). Accepts cash as well! My car was due for a smog star test and he made it very simple and quick, understanding my car needs and questions. There are also seats to wait at and lots of places across the street to stroll. After 10 minutes, the exam was complete and results were sent to the DMV. He even suggested a place you could get the renewal on the same day! Otherwise you can pay online after 3 hours and receive your renewal sticker in the mail. I had another question about my car and Ahmad told me I could drive back and he can take a look. He was so friendly and knowledgeable, fixing the issue and double checking the car. Other clients I saw were all treated very kindly with smiles all around. Ahmad is truly a genuine and kind hearted person that cares about his customers and I would recommend coming over to him for your smog tests! STAR APPROVED! read more

See all

This place has been here forever. I bring all my cars here. In and out, fast service.

Fantastic service! Very helpful! Best price around. Thank you for your help with the stubborn computer. I'll remember not to disconnect the battery before getting a smog check! read more

Been coming here for years, quick SMOG checks. They do have coupons on their website.

Fantastic service that won't break the bank . Recently had to get a smog and noticed it had to a star smog facility. Researched this one and also received recommendations from it too. The owner Gregory was very friendly. I had gotten there shortly before opening and got me in and out within 10 minutes . It is easier to pay cash to avoid the card reader fee and remember to show the coupon. Will be returning again next time I need one . read more

So I've never done a SMOG check in my life before so I wasn't really sure what I needed to do. So I go on Yelp and look for a good SMOG check place and Vista Test Only Center shows up. I drive over and park in a parking spot there and I wasn't sure what to do. I walk inside and there was a guy inside. I told him I needed a SMOG check and he told me to pull the car around to the front and he'll be done with me in like 5-10 minutes. So he plugs in his computer and he said to just wait. Few minutes pass and he says everything passes. The guy was really friendly and kind. The only thing I didn't like was that he was smoking right in front of me and when there were other customers he just left his cigarette burning next to his computer. The whole place just stunk of cigarette smoke. The price paid is very fair. Make sure you go onto their website and use their coupon. It says you need to have a mobile or print copy and when I asked "can I use the coupon?" He said kindly "Of course" and didn't ask to see it. I was able to get my SMOG done, paid with credit card (there was no extra fee for using a card), and off I went. Total out the door was like 45 dollars exact. If you look at the wall, it says a smog check is like 50 dollars so if you don't mention the coupon, you'll be paying around 60 since the DMV fee is like 10 dollars. I would give it 5 stars if I didn't have to deal with cigarette smoke. read more

I came in for a quick oil change or rather small change and the gentleman there was so kind and gentle and patient and walk you through the procedure that was gonna be done to the car. He was really nice. I recommend him anywhere to anyone and he did the job quick read more

Open Sunday's, which was convenient. Very good service. Went in for a smog, was in and out in 20 minutes all while being being alone for the day and had multiple customers. Treated everyone nicely. read more

Note: I didn't get my car serviced here but had a short interaction with the owner. Their prices are great and probably the best in town (with their coupon), I'll give them that. But the owner was very rude when I started asking questions about their process and DMV submission, etc. I understand that he's the expert in this, but some better customer service would be nice. read more

called on a monday morning to request availability and he was able to take me right away! i was in and out in 30 minutes definitely will be coming back here and sending anyone who needs a smog check as well! read more

I received great service today getting my first smog check in about 27 years. I was living in another state so I didn't need one there. Then in 2020 I bought a car so today was my first check. The owner was very nice and the wait was short. I passed, received my paperwork and was on my way to AAA to get my tag. I will definitely go back here next time I need a smog check. I highly recommend Vista Test Only Center. read more

This is an honest business and the owner is nice. He stacks up cars in front of his garage and tries to get through them as quickly as possible. He has a coupon on his website and honors it when you show him. It's $35 for the smog check and $9 for the certificate. There can be a wait sometimes if it's the weekend or a popular time. I waited about 30-40 minutes, and he took care of my car in about 5-10 minutes. I will be back. read more

Greg was very friendly, had a great experience. I would recommend this shop to anyone. Use the online coupon to further save you

Wonderful service received at Vista Test Only Center today! I called ahead to see if appointments were required. They indicated it was okay to just stop by. Sure enough, I arrived and there was no wait. The friendliest guy greeted me and offered me water and a chocolate treat while the service was completed. It was quick, easy, and a great service. I appreciate the ease of the experience and would highly recommend this business for smog testing. read more

Owner was nice enough. He asked since questions and we were good to go. Got my smog check done fast and no issues. Price was good.

Quick and efficient! For a smog testing center, you really couldn't ask for more. I was referred here by someone that had previously praised Greg for his friendliness and speed. He definitely met expectations during my visit. When I pulled up, Greg (I later confirmed it was him) immediately greeted me and said that there was one car ahead of me, but they should be finished in about 5 minutes. He asked that I park on the side and pull in once their inspection was completed. During my smog test, I saw that Greg had a few new customers pull up. He was communicative with them and also kept me updated that he should be finishing up soon. Tip: Mention that you have a coupon - you can google it, but he didn't check mine. The cost of the inspection ended up being $34.25 + the smog certificate fee + tax. My total was $45. It almost took me as long to write this review compared to the test! Will be back when the next smog test is due. read more

Easy, fast, convenient, best price in town! Referred by mechanic and I will be back every single time!

Absolutely love Vista Test Only smog shop. Very friendly professional staff, who work very efficiently in getting business done. I now take all of my vehicles here as well as some of my family as well, and we always have great experiences.
