California Smog Check & Registration Service.

I have to say that, based on the last smog station I used, my experience here was fast, helpful, and the service, both testing tech and customer service, was a pleasure. I entered having had a bad experience from another testing station in Escondido. The prior tech was clueless when it came to my older 1989 vehicle, which requires a data relay sensor to be jumped when testing to get an accurate timing test. Willy not only knew what to do, but was incredibly nice in making sure I would be able to pass the test before they charged me. Unlike most people these days, who would take advantage to make a buck! Marisol, at the front desk, was pleasant and also helpful, knowing I had had a bad experience before, even volunteering to have me talk to the tech beforehand to relieve my concerns. Incredible! Even though a mechanic suggested a different smog station, I chose this one because they were attentive when I called ahead, and they gave me a good feeling, which was not betrayed. Great customer service. Professionalism. Kind and generous in communication. Can I give 6 stars?

They only do smog checks though, so if your car doesn’t pass the test you will need to take it elsewhere. This also means they have no incentive to find anything wrong, so I prefer it that way.

They were very thorough to find a complicated problem with my car and very communicative and careful to describe every issue and cost involved with a solution, giving me a clear understanding of what I could prioritize as a need vs an option. I would be very inclined to return here for future automotives problems.
