I had purchased a Groupon for a Smog Check at Super Smog Escondido. Johnson immediately greeted me when I arrived. I was the only customer throughout my visit and did not have to wait while he immediately began the intake process and inspection. Near completion, he mentioned that it had been a little difficult to read the numbers on my catalytic converters. This was surprising because, although my vehicle is a 2000, the converters were newly installed just a few years ago. I shared that I had bought my vehicle at an auction and afterwards learned it needed all four of the converters so...spending more than the car is worth.. I had new ones installed a few years ago. I have also had my vehicle smogged after the converters were installed, years ago. After completing the inspection and passing, I provided my Groupon to another Auto Tech while Johnson moved my car out of the service bay. Johnson instructed the other Auto Tech, if I was paying cash, it would be $10 (exactly) for my "8.25" smog check certificate". (I didn't realize this discrepancy until after I had left). Right after I had paid and after he had parked my vehicle, Johnson re-approached the service desk and explained that he needed to charge me an additional $10 because there was an "aftermarket service charge." I replied that I had read some of the reviews his business has received and mentioned that, in his replies, he often states for customers to refer to the terms of the Groupon. I then explained that there is nothing in the terms and conditions on the Groupon that mentions an "aftermarket service charge." He referred me to a sign under the service desk that showed a $10 charge for aftermarket parts, then he admitted it is not included in the terms on the Groupon certificate but that he would be adding it soon. He then offered not to charge me the fee "this time" but that now I would know for next time. Two stars for the fast, friendly service; minus three stars for the round up the certificate fee and the other surprise upcharges. Ultimately, I suggest you reconsider going to Super Smog Escondido if it would make you uncomfortable to refuse to pay incorrect charges ($10 instead of the $8.25 certificate fee) and other inappropriate charges that this business will likely try to tack on. Personally, I plan to not return. There are other smog inspection places nearby that are competitively priced and don't play these haggling, bait-and-switch games.

Best customer service, and the technician was amazing at his job. Overall, he deserves more than 5 stars—maybe a million if we could give that to a place like this. I highly recommend it.

I went to this shop today because it had good online reviews, and they had a $30 coupon advertised. However, the final price came to $61.80, which was much higher than expected. They explained that the extra charge was due to my car being an SUV, and they added $20 to the price. I've never been charged this extra fee at other places, and this wasn’t mentioned upfront. When I looked at the receipt more carefully, I noticed they also added a 3% surcharge for credit card payments! None of these additional charges were disclosed beforehand, and the whole experience felt very deceptive and lacking transparency. Also, the parking situation is awful. The parking area is cramped and located on a slope, making it really difficult to park. It’s clear that they rely on coupons to lure customers in and then try to "make up" for the discount by adding hidden fees. Very disappointing—won’t be coming back.

I was really impressed with Super Smog. Got in and out super quick, and the staff was friendly and on top of everything. They made the whole smog check painless, no hassle at all. I’ll definitely be back next time I need one and won’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Great service!
