Review content:
I wish I checked some reviews before using Santa Monica Smog test because I would have saved myself a lot of time, money and grief. $65 for the first test 25 for the second plus 25 for a certificate. This place is a TOTAL RIP-OFF.
I believe another person stated that if your car is older than 5 years this place will fail you. I found this to be true and like all other places...NO FREE RETEST.
Needless to say they failed me. Not because I didn't pass the smog test because it passed both 15 and 25 MPH smog test but the tech said 1 emission hose was faulty. I had to go down to Signal Hill so I decided to ask Dodge about the hose. The machanic took a look and asked why did I think the hose is bad. When I showed him that Santa Monica Smog failed me because of it he was shocked and stated,""There is nothing wrong with the hose"". I decided to buy 3 ft. hose and installed it. (I wish I could upload a picture of the old hose to show everyone that the hose is fine.)
When I went back and told them Dodge said the hose was fine and showed them the old hose they responded with, ""the dealer doesn't know about emission lines"". WOW...unbelievable so the dealer who works on Dodge cars and trucks can't tell if a hose is bad. Who are you trying to fool here? Both myself and the people there knew they were caught however they still would not retest for free.
They retested and surprise, surprise the dynomometer put out the exact same numbers as before...no variance. NONE. What does that tell you. New hose, old hose the dyno put out the same numbers. When I memtioned this the person behind the desk he said he would give me a $10 discount. The same $10 discount he probably gives everyone since there is a coupon online.
There are so many places doing smog checks for $40. Save your money and peace of mind go somewhere else.
THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF
