Precision Smog & Repair

Very professional, took my 97′ Camry– because it failed the smog at another location.
All repairs were done, and completed the same day. Will absolutely use this Smog Station for the rest of my vehicles and will definitely recommend to co-​workers and friends. Great job guys.
Keep it up.

Tony is a nice man who provides efficient service. I used the on-​line coupon and saved $ 27.00. Awesome. The place is roomy with chairs to sit while the service is performed.
Go there.

came here today– guy told me it would be $ 35 for a 2001 vw jetta smog check. thought it was very inexpensive. and only waited 10 mins total, very fast! & they have chairs to sit and wait which was very nice. will definetely come back here again.

This is the second time I’ve been here. I came back because I found another coupon as I did last time online only paid $ 32 all together best price I found in town. Quick service and the guy Tony was friendly going to come back if I need another smog as long as I can find a coupon at that price. Definitely recommend them.

Tony had me in and out of there very quickly. His price was what he advertised. There were no hidden fees, and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Precision Smog to anyone who needs a smog check.

I was at this smog facility in Van Nuys, CA few days ago to have my car smog tested. This business is charging too much (about $ 50) and is very dishonest. The technician did all three tests: Visual, Functional, and Emission. He knew that the FUNCTIONAL Test will FAIL because the ODB system in my car was «not ready» (showed Catalytic and Evap sensors incomplete), but he still went ahead with the emission test. Although the emission test passed, overall the smog test FAILED because the functional test failed, and the technician asked me to pay.
I’ve been to other Smog Test centers and they usually check the ODB system first to make sure it’s «Ready» before continuing with the emission test and they will tell you up front to save you money.
But Precision Smog Test Only station is taking advantage of consumers knowing that the functional test will FAIL (ODB not ready or the check engine light is ON or there is an error code found) and trying to rip off customers. The technician has an ODB code reader (electronic device) that can check the status of ODB system or any error codes in your car. If he was honest and wanted to help me save money, he should have informed me up front that the ODB system is not ready for the functional test and should advice me to drive more miles to get the ODB system ready and come back in few days for the actual smog test. Because of his greed, he did not.
I do NOT recommend this smog station because of the above reasons. With their high price, dishonesty, unprofessional treatment, and unethical and unfair business practices, I hope this business will loose customers and eventually shut down.

I just felt compelled to write an update on my previous review. I would greatly recommend you bypass this place as the shop owner is a total crook! I came here a few months ago with a muffler problem. My car was making some noise as if air was leaking from somewhere. I took it in at this shop and the mechanic says it was a crack underneath the catalytic and that it needed some welding. I said okay, how much? And he told me it would be $ 180! My heart nearly stopped when he told me the price but then he gave me estimates of how much it would cost me elsewhere, and since I was short on time I said fine.
It took him hours to do what he said was going to be done. When I arrived, he still had me wait for another 30 minutes. Long story short, the car was not really fixed. After a few weeks the noise had come back and it was actually louder. He only gave me 30 days warranty on the work so my warranty was expired. I took it to another mechanic for another look and he told me that there was no sign of any previous work having been done to the car at all. No welding or anything else. This other mechanic did the welding where it had to be done and my car has worked fine ever since.
So please, if you do not want to be lied to, or punked into doing very expensive work to your car that will actually not ever be done avoid this mechanic at all costs. He is a liar, and a thief.

This smog check was fast and convenient, plus, I had a coupon! I was in and out of there very quickly. The technician was friendly, clean, and did a good job. Overall, a very good experience, I would definitely recommend this place to others and I will go there again the next time I’m required to have a smog check.

If you are in for a smog check, don’t go anywhere else but this. I just went to the shop today, Mon. The service man by name Tony gave me the price stated in the coupon which is less than 50% of what others charge. Tony works fast and methodically. He’s super efficient and friendly. I’ll definitely recommend the Precision Smog Test Only shop at Sepulveda in Van Nuys to all my relatives and friends.
