Stopped by there this morning for a smog check on my way in to work this morning. This location is actually on the same street that my business is on. I asked the guy at the counter if there were any coupons and he only offered up $10 off the ridiculous $69.95 price. I decided to get it done anyway, though it still sounded like a bad deal.
I walked a few doors down to my business, fired up my computer, and quickly found a coupon for $29.95 + $8.25 for cert. That's more realistic.
When I went back with the coupon 10 minutes later, they wouldn't honor it saying it needed to be presented at the time I arrived. And even if I did present the coupon, the guy said he would still charge $10 more for a potential retest which I knew I wouldn't need.
I strongly recommend avoiding this business establishment. If they're going to screw fellow businesses that are only a few doors down from their location, they'll certainly do it to the unsuspecting customer.
I have advised all persons at my office to not take their cars to this smog check service provider. I would advise you to do the same.
Pros: Close to my office
Cons: Overpriced, scam style mechanics
