SMG AUTO STAR CERTIFIED SMOG CHECK, BRAKE and LIGHT INSPECTION (PASS OR DON’T PAY)

BEWARE ITS A SCAM!!! They have a bot that claims that "blank "wasn't in the system or whatever but it's false. They charge absurd prices, and their no pass no pay guarantee is also false. I went for brake light, didn't pass from some incredibly minor issues such as light not being flush with bumper. They said i didn't pass and then said for 300 bucks they could look the other way and let me pass. Incredibly crooked, evil minded people that seemed fine at first. After I wanted my money back from their no pass no pay for ANY service policy" they just walked away. I recorded and sent the conversation to BBB and the fraud department. DO NOT COME HERE if you value your time money and mental health.

I will never bring any of my shops trucks here again because they ripped me off and wouldn't return money taken from me I am telling you don't do Business with these guys because they are shady. They said that they could pass my truck for a thousand dollars and they ran my debit card without permission. Beware scammers . and this is not a false review because I have the charge on my bank account statement.

My daughter got a brake and lamp inspection at this business. They advertised on their website and their business cards that the inspection was 99 00. After the inspection, the charges were 400.00. When asked about the 99.00 price he stated we had to ask for their advertised price even though there was no verbiage on the website or business card that stated this. I asked him if he could show me where it said that on the website, he said it is on Google. I said yes but I am referring to the price on your website and business cards. He said if you don't like it file a complaint with one of the companies that does that. Filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau and Board of Automotive Repair for false advertising.

When I arrived I asked how much it would cost me to do a smog check and break and lamp inspection. I was told 40 for the smog with certificate and 99 for the break and light inspection, I agreed but when he proceeds to do the inspections he comes back to tell me that the smog failed. I was very surprised because my car fairly new and I never had that problem before. He then told me that he wants to help me out, and that he has a friend that works at the DMV that could fix that problem in the computer but the friend charges $300 and he would charge me 100 for the smog he originally said costs 40. I told him I didn’t have that amount of money and could not afford me. He then told me it would cost me more to fix it and to think about it. As I started waking out he said ok I will help you out, just give me 300 instead. But you have to decide now or leave me a deposit. I walked out and went somewhere else and my car passes the smog right away. This place is a SCAM.
