My husband and I took an older car that we have in to get smogged the lady at the counter said the man that does smog was out on a test run with another vehicle. We waited for 45 minutes. Once he returned he walks in, with no sense of urgency. She let him know we were waiting and he looks up and says oh yeah our machines down and it’s been down. Now if you’ve known that why would you not relay that to your front office so she can let us know instead of us waiting nearly an hr. What upset me more was he tells her oh yeah there’s a list of people that you need to call that have been calling all week to make an appt for their older cars too. So if you’ve known all week and people are calling why not say that when they call?! I understand machines break and shops are busy but, there was no sense of urgency and not a care in the world that you’re wasting someone’s time. We work all week long and set aside time to come here on our day off only to be told, “ yeah, you have to look up another place to do it!”

I came in first thing Monday morning to get a smog, the techs were very friendly and helpful, let me know my brake fluid was low and I could use some brakes which is awesome they didn't have to do that. Quick, easy, you guys are awesome!

Rafael and his team are amazing! I work for Panera Bread and commute from Menifee to LA & OC many times per week. I brought my truck in complaining about a clunking noise when coming to a stop. The culprit was a broken motor mount but as well as diagnosing that they found I needed brakes, an oil change, and also there was a axle seal that was leaking. That's what I trust about this team, they not only look for the problem you brought it in for but do a comprehensive check of the entire vehicle and it's systems to make sure your not the one stranded on the side of the road. Besides all of that the communication between the office is always wonderful and they kept me informed throughout the whole process. If you are in the area and in need of a honest mechanic this is the place to go.

I needed a smog to renew my vehicle registration and was not sure where to go. One internet search turned up Advanced Emission Specialists, and the positive reviews easily made my decision. I arrived in the morning, trying to beat the rush. I was promptly assisted, checked in, and, before I knew it, my car was finished. Even with customers ahead of me, my wait time was less than one hour. The gentleman who assisted me was very nice, and the smog charge extremely reasonable. I could easily see returning for future auto maintenance.I would highly recommend Advanced Emission Specialists to anyone looking for an honest, professional shop for a smog check.

These people Supposed to be car specialist, kept pressing fob to unlock/lock the car to find it in the parking lot instead of going based of the description and color of the car, that was ridiculous

I took my minivan for a repair. They saw a married guy in a mini-van and thought that could take me for a ride. They quoted me $2,100 for a part I found online for $890, CA legal. Plus $300 for labor that includes taking 6 bolts off that are easy to reach with and H lift. Still had to pay $75 for a problem I knew existed. If you decide to go here. Get other quotes. Talked with other businesses in the same complex and other customers had said the same thing as me. Disappointed, I am new to the area and was looking for my "permanent muffler shop". I have to keep looking.

So, I've usually been blessed enough to have newer cars and haven't needed a smog check until recently. I brought my work truck to this shop for a smog check, which failed because of incomplete monitors and they still charged me $120 something dollars which is double most shops prices for a smog check, and that's not including a certificate being sent over to the DMV. So I warn anyone who is thinking of going to this shop, DON'T DO IT! Also, after I had gotten everything fixed I took my truck back for a second smog check at which point the worker told me they were too busy as he proceeded to wash his driveway, I didn't realize that they charged double the price until I had taken my truck to a different smog shop and it was only $60 including sending the certificate to the DMV so again, I urge anyone thinking of going to this shop to think again.

Scam tried to rip me off charging me $800 dollars. They said my car failed and never received a failed certificate. Said I needed work on the car to ensure it would pass would cost $800. Go anywhere else but here. They wanted to work on my vehicle and are not certified mechanics.

This place is an outrageous ripoff shop. I had a smog inspection elsewhere and needed an 02 sensor replaced, they said they can do it for approximately $200.00 and they would not use the one I purchased. When I arrived for my appointment they asked why I needed an 02 sensor I explained they smog inspection report, the guy then tells me they can't do the repair unless they do the smog inspection and diagnose the need for an 02 sensor. I asked how much that would cost, he said $150.00 for the inspection, which is literally double what I already paid for the previous inspection. Don't go to this place unless you like to throw money away. Completely dishonest ripoff shop given the fact that the previous inspection was pointed out to them when I called to make the appointment. Completely dishonest shop that really doesn't want your business.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS PLACE THEY ARE A RIPOFF SHOP. This place is a completely dishonest ripoff shop. I made an appointment to replace an oxygen sensor and explained that a smog inspection elsewhere said one needed to be replaced. I bought the part but the shop said they won't use customer purchased parts, fair enough. I asked how much for them to replace the sensor they said around $200.00, so I made an appointment. When I arrived they guy asked why I needed the new 02 sensor, I again explained the smog check said it needed to be fixed. He then tells me they have to do a smog check themselves to diagnose if an 02 sensor is needed. I asked what they charge for to check it and he told me $150.00 exactly double the price I paid to have it checked previously. This place doesn't want your business and the guys attitude backed that up. This place is not an honest shop and is preying on the citizens of Menifee hoping you don't know any better. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS PLACE THEY ARE A RIPOFF SHOP.
