Went in for a smog, I recently moved and my car was registered in Malibu. They saw this on the registration renewal and tried to up the price to $189. I went around the corner to Smog-It, and those guys didn't try to rip me off and it was $89. I don't know if it was intentional, or a mistake, but it almost cost me $100 to use these guys. I won't consider them again.

I always do the smog check since I got my truck in 2011 here. Employees really courteous and I never wait for too long. Thank you for the great service!

I had a very quick and pleasant interaction bringing an old Subaru in for a star smog check. They are very pleasant & I was and in and out in less than 15 minutes. Much appreciating just the ease of service.

Quick smog check though online it says around $42 with coupons for the smog check. He ended saying $59 then I mentioned the coupon and he said $49 after bribes by saying “leave good review and I’ll take $5 off.” I ended up paying $45 when a regular smog check cost $50 at Casey’s automotive. He also kept a receipt and threw it away when I needed for my record.

This review is long overdue , as I have been coming here for my auto repair needs for over 10 years. Kevin and Nick are both helpful, friendly, but most importantly they are extremely knowledgeable and efficient. I appreciate the fact that they are honest, transparent and never shady, like a lot of repair shops can be, unfortunately. Anytime I’m in an urgent situation that needs to be addressed right away, or cannot take care of it myself, this is where I go and am always welcomed.

I've taken 5 cars I've owned to Star Tech for smog checks, oil changes, and general maintenance, and have had nothing but positive experiences! They always call me to tell me an estimate before starting work (something other shops in town don't do - Another shop in town surprised me with a $700 invoice for work that wasn't pre-approved), and will also shoot straight with me on whether something needs to be done or not. I highly recommend!

I really wish I’d read the reviews before going. I was taken in by their online coupon. My car is a 2015...there’s ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with it. Somehow during their testing white smoke was literally flowing out the exhaust and of course failed the smog test. I’m sure they saw a woman and thought they’d take advantage of me. Wonder of wonders...I take it to a different mechanic and no smoke at all. I can’t prove that they messed with my car BUT I suspect they did. Stay far far away from this place!!!!
