Valero Smog Test Only

Very disappointed. I came here to get my car smogged and because I had just recently purchased the car, I was told I needed to drive it for 40 miles before the computer could work. Jim, the worker, told me to come back later that day after ive driven it and it would take «2 seconds». I paid for the original smog and came back a few hours later and they charged me for a retest! After I had been told I would only need to pay the certificate fee. Rip off. Don’t go here.

Good service, nice people, hard working, showing a lot of respect and punctuality. Clean gas station, many good things inside
Food cans, frozen food, many types of drinks. Hot drinks and cold drinks. Ice cube bags, snakes, cough and cold pills. Pregnancy test tube. Other things. They accept Cash, credit cards, debit cards
Open from morning to 10pm 7 days a week.
Recommend it.

Had some trouble smogging my 88 M5… finally thought I had it figured out… came here on a Sat… had to wait about 20 minutes in line and I STILL failed. Took it home… made some adjustments and came right back for the free re-test…PASSED.
Now the place itself was fine… behind the carwash… they have a «special» with a coupon but they freely give the same price to anyone… didn’t even have to ask about it… they just said they charge the discounted price. Nice enough guys… courteous and friendly. I’d use them again, no problem.

The owner operator Jim is a friendly, polite guy, and is thorough (he fixed a problem the last smog guy created). The price seems fair and I have not had to wait any time I’ve been here.

Jim… the guy in charge is a VERY nice person… He did the smog on my 2006 Ford Taurus…
Got me right in… it took about 30 minutes and I was out
HIGHLY RECOMMENED!

I was sent here from another place that couldn’t do the «test only» part right now. The person who sent me said they were friends with this guy and that this person would honor their coupon. He also said he’d call them to make sure (coupon would have put total at $ 48) I arrived there and it was obvious they were waiting for me. I started to tell him about the coupon from the other place… he grabbed the papers from me and shooed me along. They handed me papers to fill out, NEVER went over price with me, did the work and then charged me $ 65! My fault for not forcing them to stand and talk with me about the coupon, price, etc. but WAY over what others are charging even if they weren’t going to accept the coupon.
DON’T go here! I would never have done the service there if they had said up front they were going to charge that much! Am now thinking of reporting them to the better business bureau since they didn’t disclose the price up front.

$ 65 cash including the $ 8.95 DMV fee.
I’ve been bringing cars here for 10 years my fault I assumed it was still going to be $ 50 but still fast friendly and the place is clean. Had I asked up front and he said $ 65, I would have checked around and found it was $ 45 on 17^th street but I’ve been in that place and I hated the service the rudeness. So 3 stars for being fast friendly and clean, minus 2 stars for me having to pay extra for that.

On 04/​04/​2011 I came here for a smog test. I have come here for gas many times and made a mental note about this place. At 0900 I arrived here only to find it closed even though the sign clearly said they open at 0800. So much for customer service.
