El Centro Smog Tech - El Centro (CA)

5 /5 Christian Spangler: I came in on a Saturday with a seller to smog a car I was considering buying. We showed up with no appointment and they took us in right away. Unfortunately for us the car did not pass but this shop worked with the seller and I to try and make things work giving us tips to get the car to cycle. They ran the car several times and even stayed late to try and make things work. The best part, because the car could not pass smog at that time, they did not even charge us. Great customer service and a good experience in the face of the disappointment about the car not working out. They will take great care of you here!

1 /5 Setfourphotographers: This place is a rip-off. I went for a smog check with my engine light on for "emission system warning." Not knowing if it would pass, I asked the technician, who claimed he didnt know and needed to check. Later, I found out it would always fail with that light on. The technician made me sign a form agreeing to pay $50 if it failed, which it did. Instead of informing me it wouldnt pass, they took my money. I overheard them laughing and saying, "I told you he would fall for it," assuming I didnt understand Spanish. This place not only scams customers but also mocks them.

5 /5 Pete Sanchez III: Great service. Highly recommend.

5 /5 Erica Shkembi: The man who helped me was very nice and answered all my dumb questions without getting irritated at all with me. Was quick and got me in and out. Thank you El Centro Smog Tech!

1 /5 Behzad Yazdani: Sent them a truck and they overcharged me because they said it was a commercial truck ($102 for a smog!!!). Truck is a 2500 utility and gvwr at 9500 not even over 10000 and they are overcharging just because they want to. All they had to do was to connect it to the computer no difference than smoging a mini cooper. Be aware, always get a quote before you go in. Right now Sep 23 smog is $55-$65 walk in price everywhere. I hope they get more regulated because they deserve it.
