Charlies Smog Test & Repair Center

Awesome is the only word to describe the service I received today! Smog took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Totally loved the fact that this is a family run business. Got to visit with Charles Sr. And his wife as well as Charles Jr. Thanks for a great experience!

I got lucky and found these guys. I just moved to cali and failed the smog test… got quotes for big money then got a random rec to call these guys… and man they were amazing. They fixed my truck for a very reasonable price and because i had no local friends or family (i moved from CT) they drove me to work and picked me up. I was treated like a friend… like a local and it meant the world to me. You dont find good, honest people like this everyday. I hope you find this review before u go some place else. They do all repairs too not just smog checks and fixes. Go see Charlie and Jim and tell them Mike from CT says thank u again. Writing this review is the least i could do for such great service by great people. You are a fool if you dont call these guys. I wont go where else for as long as i live in fresno.

Went in today for a smog check and AC Service. Everything took about an hour and the staff was super friendly. They also had a food truck stop by after noon, which was pretty great. Solid, smooth experience.
I don’t know what DJ M was talking about when he said the shop was technologically challenged; everything was clean and even their smog machine looked practically brand new.

My husband I where recently mover here by the military. He is very picky about where we take our vehicles. This is my second great experience with this shop. Both times we had a smog done, they were very polite had us in and out in no time. They also have the lowest price I could find. If you pay cash. On our second visit for a smog the son mentions that he heard a ticking sound from the motor. I was surprised he even caught it. He didn’t try to push us in to having it fixed, just said if you would like it looked at let me know. It was left over from a trip to the dealer the week before. The dealer said its normal, (no it’s not) so I will be bringing it back Charlie’s for a second opinion. Friendly knowledgeable people, great price and great service.

Seems like an honest guy– but very old school. Does not keep up with current smog laws and is technologically challenged. Also his prices are extremely high. Like I said he seems honest, but watch this guy he will try and sell you things you don’t need and take advantage of an opportunity. If you need smog, go elsewhere is my advice.

reasonably priced. very nice and friendly service. overall they perform their service great. precise on getting the smog done quickly.
