Smogtech Airport

Always very helpful and prices are not bad. They’ve expanded their sitting area and now they have a variety of snacks and drinks.

Found this place by accident. Needed my car smogged at a STAR certified facility and saw Smog Tech was STAR certified. Called and asked about the pricing and they told me about an online coupon and I didn’t even have to ask them if they had any deals. They told me upfront about the coupon. Awesome! Went there this morning and they honored the coupon and explained all the charges up front. When I went to pay, they told me there was a $ 2 fee to pay by credit card. It may be a little higher than the norm but this is a small business and they most likely can’t afford to «eat» the credit card fees like larger businesses often do. I had no problem paying the small fee. Hector was awesome, courteous, and thorough. I will recommend Smog Tech and be back.

I took my Ford Escape to Smog Tech on Airport and was very satisfied with their work. The only reason I am giving 4 stars and not 5 is because I was in a time crunch to get to work. They were able to fix the issue that had my check engine light on, and then pass me SUV for the smog test. They assured me I would be able to get to work on time. While waiting they were very descriptive to me as to what they were doing. Unfortunately I did not end up leaving there until I was already supposed to be at work, then had to return for them to complete the testing. But the second test was free so that was a bonus. I was generally happy with their work, just didn’t like having to make a second trip or be late to work.

Fast, courteous, affordable. Less than 30 minutes, took my online coupon straight off my phone, and even got me my sticker for a small additional fee. Highly recommended.

The ONLY reason they get a star is because I HAD to give at least one star to review. First, I pulled into the parking lot LORENZO and asked for the address and I asked if this was A1. He stated no but what do i need service on? I told him and he stated we do service A on mercedes here. I hesitated but agreed. My next question was has he worked on Mercedes before he stated of course. Ok so secondly after waiting 45 minutes they don’t have the filter, ok that’s fine but we have to wait for it to be delivered 30 minutes and then we can start! Ughhhh 1 hr and 15 minutes wasted! Finally they finished my car. I get in the service message is still on. I go back in he states his co worker is looking it up on the Internet to turn it off??? I thought you all worked on mercedes before its a simple light! After 30 minutes of him trying to figure it out unsuccessfully. I say I’m taking my car to mercedes so they can finish your job and ill be sure to bring you the receipt. He said fine! I left called mercedes they are charging 50.00 so I called smog tech back they said just bring it back up here! Are you KIDDING why on earth would I waste another hour with you all trying to figure it out! They even had the nerve to say my car was defective! BS!!! Never, NEVER going back I wouldn’t recommend this place to an enemy!!! Do yourself a favor and save a headache… Find another place to go to!!!

I found these guys in the PennySaver. My car had failed two smog tests before coming here, and my regular mechanic did not have the diagnostic equipment needed to figure out what was going on.
Mike, Lorenzo, and Luis were awesome. It took a while, and a couple more attempts, but they kept me informed through the whole thing… Taking the time to explain what was going on, and what I would be charged BEFORE the repairs were done.
Great customer service, convenient location, and I spent less than what I thought I would have to… These guys really know what they’re doing.

This place is a ripoff. As soon as we went into the waiting room (which took an hr long to be serviced), a customer had brought in a $ 30 coupon but the guy said it would actually cost her $ 50 because her car was «newer» though I believe it was a suv of the year 2000 (hardly new). In the end she had to pay $ 60. I asked the guy to confirm my total considering my car is a ’99, skeptical he may add up charges and rip me off too with lies because I too had a coupon. He looked irritated knowing I was asking too many questions regarding the pricing. I had a bad feeling, but we went through it. Finally he came back and said that we didn’t pass smog. I knew he did it on purpose knowing he couldn’t squeeze my pocket for more money. we had to pay the smog test and left. A few days later we went to a different smog test station And the car passed. We had not done anything to or touched the car, that’s how confident I was. That smog tech guy was just a thieving bitch. Either he scams ppl or the shop requires their employees to scam ppl. Either way, I’m never ever going back.

I am very grateful to the Smog Tech on Airport for working with me and not giving up on my car. After 3 failed smog checks apparently what the issue was was that my intermittent sensor that sits in my intake hose is faulty. If the engine is too cold it won’t work right causing the high reading of nox. The guy took time to show me the part and explain in detail what it was doing. In order to pass my smog he had me drive to Manteca to warm up the engine and bring it right back to the shop. Once I did that it passed right away. I will definitly take the time to rate this location on several differnt sites. Thank you so much. You are very knowledgeable and I appreciate your patience.

I should have read the reviews of this place before even going here. I went to smog my car today. I was helped by A.J. He talked me in to paying for my DMV sticker on site to avoid waiting in line at the DMV. He told me their special at the time was pay for smog and DMV renewal and they will waive their $ 29.00 service fee. When it came down to paying my tab, there was a $ 19.00 charge that he called a «convenience fee» that he could not provide proof of on my receipt. Of course this raised a red flag… why could he not provide a receipt of services provided??? He stated that there is no way to print out a receipt and that all the info is on the computer. Just to get me out the door, he refunds me $ 19.00 for this unknown fee that he can’t prove. As I walked out the door, he says «f**ken as*». Promptly I acknowledged his comment, which he denies. I demanded for a manager and he says «why?» and said there is no manager, then stutters «i run the show». I asked for owner information, which he also asks «why?» and also denies.
He asks what can he do to make things better. Obviously at that point there was nothing… not even an apology wouldn’t have helped. Then he assures me that there is a way to print out a receipt to show what this «convenience fee» was for. TOO LATE. Coincidentally, another customer pulls in and witnesses the whole situation. I informed him of their crooked ways and he was quick to take his business else where.
I’m glad my voice was heard by this customer, as well as by A.J.
LET IT BE KNOWN TO ALL STOCKTON RESIDENTS, BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS SMOG TECH LOCATION. A.J., THEIR SO CALLED MAN IN CHARGE, IS VERY RUDE AND VERY INEXPERIENCED WITH HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS… LET ALONE YOUR MONEY THAT THEY TRIED TO TAKE
