THE BEST PLACE in Stockton to get smog from. I hav been coming here for 7 years never had a problem. my dad has been coming here forever. billy and his son will take good care off u. totally recommend

These guys are on top of their business! I didn’t even get a chance to finish my review before they were done! Great service. Oh yea, my truck PASSED the smog check!

Was calling around to get prices and called this place. I don’t remember exactly how much their ad in pennysaver said it cost, but when I called in to verify they quoted me at $ 80 and said it was because the type of car I had. I only asked him like 2 or 3 questions and was about done when he interrupted me and said «I’m BUSY, I HAVE TO GO» and hung up on me.
Okay, I guess you’re too busy for my money then.

took my car to this place and felt like i was being scammed. i was having my car tested and was there for a little over an hour. my car was a 1991 awd eclipse gsx turbo. passed functional test, emission test. but fails me on the visual. he tells me that i failed because smoke came out the tail (which it happened once because of the condensation) 10am. and then goes and tell me that the last owner put some high octane stuff into the motor to make it faster, so to burn that out fill up with shells gas come back, pay him $ 30.00 and it will pass smog. so i went to a different smog shop, they had me in for about ten minutes i passed with flying colors. and i took it the shop right after he tested my car and failed me.
i will post pictures off that test results.
CHECK PHOTOS FOR THE TEST RESULTS.
DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, BECAUSE IF HE CAN SCAM YOU OUT OF MORE MONEY THATS EXACTLY WHAT HE WILL DO.

On 5÷16÷09 my car was due for a Test Only. And, I was not pleased with Moez. He didn’t pass me because it failed a visual inspection. The print out did verify I passed emissions. I was further displeased Moez undisclosed me BEFORE testing. I clearly recall that Moez looked under my car once. (before the test) Then, Moez retrieved a flashlight to look underneath the car again.
Also, I did not like his way of charging whether it passes or not.
If you were confident the car would pass he’d charge me $ 59.99 Retesting would be full price again. (I paid $ 56.75)
If you didn’t feel confident you pay $ 79.99. Retesting would be free (i think)
My point is: Moez should have disclosed me that the visual inspection failed and he cannot even touch my car. He knew it but, he tested it anyway just to gain my money. That’s how it felt like. The reason why it failed because my cars exhaust had only 2 catalytic converters. Four CATS was required on my car. Stock. On the printout he classified it as TAMPERED. I explained to Moez that the CATS were replaced in 2007. The larger CATS was equivalent to 4 CATS and is 50 state legal. This was before the smog law changed in ’09. Moez says the smog law changed in ’09. I explained the repair work was Grandfathered before the smog law changed in 2009. Again, Moez’s only ability was to say how strict the law was. And that heavy penalties and fines scared him so much. Moez also said within 4 years Smog Shops are going to be no longer because of continued corruption of some smog techs cutting corners. Smog testing will be done at one place regulated by the DMV, he said. Now I see why Moez wasted my time and pocketed my money. Talk about corruption!
I left his place disappointed in him. I thought Moez would be familiar about Grandfathered clauses. He doesn’t seem to trust it.
I took it to Peters Smog and he passed me with flying colors for $ 69.99. See, Moez, how hard was that?
UPDATE: Yo! Moez! You’re probably a grown man by now since 2009 but, its been 6 years since that Smog shops in Cali will be nonexistent. Well??? They’re still in business. Perhaps you were misinformed? Or was it all just a «Smoke-​Screen» just to push your point as your reason not to give me my money back?
I don’t like calling someone a LIAR! Because that’s something one must prove. Smog shops are still here.so.bye…moez.
