Smog Dog

This is the 3^rd time getting my smog check here in the last 8 years. Each time I was in and out between 20 – 45 minutes, no appointment needed. There is a good size waiting room with comfy sofas, not the classiest (but who cares, it’s for a smog check not a spa day). The location is by Der Weinerschnitzel, Ralphs, Home Goods, if you rather walk around.
Each visit went smoothly. On my last visit, it happened they were a person short and I still got in and out quickly (25 minutes)!! And the attendant was very courteous, despite knowing it would most likely be a challenging day! :) It won’t be my last visit… someone mentioned the price being higher than a competitor. I paid $ 70, across the street I could have gotten it for $ 60 with a two hour wait and no waiting room. Customers were seated on folding chairs outside. I’ll pay a little more… Smog Dog works fine for me.

Old man was super rude! Had this truck for four years and have gone to ps smog an they work with me all the time my truck isn’t perfect but they help me fix whatever the problem is but because they are little far this time around I tried smog dog apparently two vacuum hoses weren’t connected which he could have easily helped me by plugging them in I mean ps smog goes that extra mile for me. And he said my catalytic converter doesn’t even belong on my truck witch is such bull sh*t because my truck has passed at multiple places and NO they weren’t pass or no pays and not one other company made a comment about my catalytic converter and when they tested it it was functioning great and my truck was hardly polluting so yeah ill just take that extra drive to ps smog screw this guy was lazy and not only that but super expensive and just looked at my truck an I like pieces of junk and just because its a 1984 he had to run extra tests… just a lazy old man also it would have been different if he was nice about it but he was extremely rude about the hoses and my caty deff will never waist my time not even with my 2014 that will deff pass he does not deserve mine or my families business :)

Needed to get my car a smog check. Walked in asked the price to get my car done $ 77.00 bucks. WHAT! I told the guy that I found another place for $ 55
He and I quote told me «won’t hurt my feelings if you go there» really that’s what you’re going say. Way to get customers. What a jerk. They should change their name from «SMOG DOG» to «SMOG JERK»

Smog dog is very convenient reasonable and quick… I take my car in, next door is a Ralphs, I take a walk around the store and go back and pick up my car…

Just left there with my 2000 BMW. Their service was fast courteous and the price was as promised. My vehicle passed and I was out of there in 20 minutes. Had the exact same experience two years ago with the same vehicle and I will go back in 2 years when my next smog check is due.

I was very pleased to say the least about Smog Dog in Bermuda Dunes! The employees are friendly, helpful by explaining all questions I had as this is my first time in California to have my car inspected. The secret I found out, is to arrive as early as possible unless time is on your side. Their hours are from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday. So I got my buns there at 8 AM Sharp and was the second one in line. I spent a total of ½ hour, paid their fee of $ 70 and was on my way. I highly recommend Smog Dog located just off Washington Street & Hovely, directly behind the tire shop located on Hovely in the South-​East quadrant of the intersection. Thanks Smog Dog! See you once again in two years!

These guys didn’t wine and dine me, but they did a smog check quickly and professionally. My car passed, I get a sticker… have a nice day!

I was in La Quinta for the day and needed to Smog & register my mother in laws car. I almost didn’t go to Smog Dogs because of the negative reviews. My husband and I went to Shell, 2 Pep Boy locations & no one could do the smog that day. We decided we should try the place that everyone said was «rude» & terrible. Our experience was not what other Unilocalers have had. A young guy named Keifer was working the front counter, He was VERY nice, he got the car in right away and it took maybe 15 minutes.

Don’t go there. Go across street to Shell station. They’re 30% cheaper, honest and treat you nicely. We had awful experience at smog dog. They told us they couldn’t find the connector to check smog level in our Lexus SUV and to get it fixed first. Lexus confirmed nothing was wrong and Shell passed our inspection within 30 minutes. So how can you trust the guys at Smog Dog?

I was happy with my first experience at Smog Dog in Bermuda Dunes this week. Their service was professional, courteous, and fairly fast. I was there for about 20 minutes total. My only complaint would be that their fee is $ 70. I’ve been using Value Smog in Cathedral City on Date Palm Dr. for years, and have never paid more than $ 46. Overall… satisfied.

Very friendly, got me in and out quickly. Waiting room not perfect but far better than any other smog station

I was driving down Washigton heading to the Tennis Tournament and this was along the way. The waiting room was comfortable but their TV didn’t work. My only gripe is that the cost is $ 70 which is twice as much as what my wife paid for her smog test. Other than that, they were nice overall.

i was just there today, i went right after work, which is less than 5 minutes from smog dog, if that. i needed cert from a test only center per dmv for my car that’s 12 years old. it passed without a problem. i thought i’d have a long wait, nope! they were done within like 30 minutes. the lady behind the counter was very nice to me and others there. i got my certificate, paid, and off i went. i actually heard of this place through my sister who has been going here for years and shes never had a problem either. the waiting room is a little drab and a little warm, the soda machine didnt work so i had to walk next door to Wienerschnitzel. as a girl i didnt really want to go to any of the shady places in indio or coachella… so i was very happy going here. i will definitely go here again and i recommend it! THANKS SMOG DOG!

Didnt have a bad experience. Showed lady behindcounter Josh C’s review. She had never heard of Unilocal before but she sure has now

The lady behind the counter is rude.
