Golden State Smog, Temecula CA

We have been using Golden State for decades now. We started with just smog check then brake service, AC check, catalytic converter replacement, cam shaft repair and others. The shop is super!

Been coming here for smog inspections for 30 years and they always do a good job.
Quick service
Thanks

This was the fastest Smog Check I have ever had. Daniel took my Jeep Cherokee right in, and it was finished in 15 minutes. Diego was running the office and did the paper work. He was courteous, efficient, and polite. This was a very pleasant experience for me!

My Dad was a mechanic, as he got older and less able to fix our cars he started taking them to golden state. Good prices and great communication, can't ask for anything better.

Have used them on and off for 10 years. Now I will only use for smog and oil as pretty sure that’s all they want to do. I asked for them to put in a new battery since mine is 5 yrs and didn’t want to wait to get stranded. Easy money for them. Nope. Told me it was charging fine. I didn’t ask to charge or test. Literally asked for them to do it. 2nd, asked for a radiator flush. Nope. Told me fluids were fine. Again, I’ve owned vehicle 7 years and asked them to do it. Easy money. Asked to check front brakes and or pack bearings because of loud squeaking that is intermittent. All I got told is pads were at 60%. I asked to then check bearings and they didn’t.
I’m now left to find new mechanic that wants to actually do work. I’m out $350 for an oil change, four spark plugs, a cabin air filter that probably wasn’t needed and a coolant check. Just wow.

Perfection is a myth, I usually anticipate some things not going well and try to be fair with my review. For this particular location I can’t really say anything positive. From Daniel the supposed owner down to the lady who answers the phone this place is 1star worthy. If you appreciate above the table business and customer service look elsewhere.

One of the worst shops I have been too! Very unprofessional! Do not waste your time here! They’re prices are very over priced too! Daniel is a very unprofessional mechanic.

The most unprofessional place I’ve ever been too! After Daniel promised a refund I went in and he declined my refund. Told me he doesn’t wanna talk to me and leave. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!

I had my car smog checked at Golden State Smog, and I was blown away by the outstanding service I received. Daniel and his team did a fantastic job checking my car and caught issues that I would have never noticed on my own. I am truly grateful for their attention to detail and expertise.

What impressed me the most was the professionalism and efficiency of the staff. They completed the smog check in a timely manner and had me back on the road in no time. The care and attention to detail shown by Daniel and his team were truly exceptional.

Overall, I would highly recommend Golden State Smog to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable smog check. Daniel and his team provide top-notch service, and I would give them five stars without hesitation. Thank you, Golden State Smog, for your excellent service and for keeping my car running smoothly!

I had them do a diagnosis and repair for a leak in my evap system. Their prices were fair and they seem real honest. The price they charged for the replacement sensor was a good deal, it would have cost me an extra $100 +tax to buy that part online.

I have an 87 Chevy El Camino and I get all my smog and engine work done here. It's passed smog the 3 times so far, and they've kept it running smooth.

This place was recommended by the speedy smog that was basically around the block. They said they couldn't do my Jeep and sent me here instead. I called ahead and they just told me to go ahead and walk-in. I basically walked in and walked out because the service here was so quick and affordable. Thankful for the recommendation because after this i was able to run to the DMV across and get my tags done instantly. This place just made it so easy.
