Ct Smog Specialist

I tried to get a smog test at CT Smog Specialist on October 21^st, 2015 at 3 PM, the fool that I chased down to talk to me said I had to drive the car two more days??? Why? What? Then he walked away as I was talking to him and treated me with much disrespect. I tired to ask him what his problem was and the other monkey runs out with his lunch in his hand. I could not understand why the the idiot was saying because he had food in his mouth and was spitting it up all over my car. How do clowns like this own a business? I went to Smog Specialist at 4440 El Cajon Blvd, the man there was happy to get a new customer. He took care of me just fine. The guys at CT Smog Specialist just a couple of punks. Stay away.

Horrible!!! Refused to tell me why I didn’t pass, but was telling me it would cost me 180 dollars to pass!!! Really, he’s a joke!!!

The rudest man out here. He doesn’t tell you that you need to come back in 14 days for the retest. A THIEF!!! Go somewhere else. Better options out there. Honest my ass. Only fair to «his» people. Ugh!

they don’t know what they are doing and give you false problems about your car for more money ! they are scammers and can hardly speak English !

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I have brought over 20 cars to CT over the years and every car has passed and I have paid low rates and always have a good joke with the Technician. I’ve only had one car that didn’t pass and he told me exactly what to fix and passed the next day.

Fast and easy, and low prices, good service. High Recommend CT smog.

You’d better reconsider or be cautious if you decide to go smog check at this place.
Here is an experience i had with this place.
I needed a smog check for car registration renewal. On 12÷28÷10 4:45 pm I drove pass CT Smog Specialist. I asked the technician about the price. He said $ 45 and it would be 15 minute wait. I decided to wait (there was one customer ahead of me). After waiting for 30 mins, he started checking my car. He came to me & said «oh! your car was overdue, your car should have been checked every 2 years.». My car was brand new in 2005 and I never got the notice from DMV until this year. If I needed in the past, DMV probably wouldnt have given me the renewal… Shouldnt the technician know this??? After I said «My sister just got the notice this year as well and her car is in 2005. He said «ok». He started checking… I kept looking at the computer monitor (that is linked to State) and it looked like my car passed the test. When he was done, I asked him what the result was. He said «I dont know, need to wait for a certificate printout». He grabbed the printout and walked into his small office. I followed him… He looked at the report and said «oh my god I couldnt believe it»…
Ok now what! I asked to see the report. He hesitated giving it to me. Then, he handed it to me. The report said «congratulations! you vehicle passed the enhanced smog check inspection…» All MEAS were under average values. What did he mean? He filled out the form, i mean marking «pass».
At the end he charged me for $ 50. I thought it was $ 45. He said it was the certificate cost and «I even gave you a discount»… What discount he was talking about??? It was late and I was done with this place. I paid what he asked…
So… I wrote this and hope you have a better experience with this place if you decide to go for it. Also, make sure to ask how much including the certificate and keep your eyes on what he does to your car… dont leave your car out your sight…
Happy new year to you all…
