Murrieta Smog Star & Official Brake & Lamp Station in
Murrieta (CA)

Great people did my inspection here fast and easy

This shop is the best. Quick in and out. Thanks again

Been a customer here for over ten years. Dealing with Alex, Mike and Team always results in Five Star customer service, repairs and top shelf technicians/mechanics. Highly recommend this business for your auto repair needs.

Got my brake and lamp inspection and smog done for reasonable price

I needed to get the official state brake and light inspection for a salvage title, and Marietta Smog Star was able to fit me in the same day, provided I left my vehicle with them. It did take some time, but I didn't have to make an appointment, and the entire team there was fantastic. The technician was knowledgeable and articulate, communicating directly with me throughout the process. The gentleman at the front desk was refreshingly honest about what to expect—he explained the timeline, costs, and what steps to take depending on whether I passed or failed the inspection. Overall, the team worked seamlessly together, and I wish them continued success!!

Eric La Vasani and the rest of the mechanic that work over there can be trusted with the care of your car. If they do a diagnostic test on your car, whatever the result is Eric will suggest the best way to fix the problem & the cheapest way. Not like the other repair shop they will add more problems on your car just to make more money from you. Yesterday they did a service maintenance on my Toyota Rav-4 again the service is excellent. The people that work there treat you with respect and very courteous. I personally give the Murrieta Smog Star exceptional rating. Keep up the outstanding quality service to all your customer.

Would give zero stars if I could. Walked in for a smog check, only customer in the building. The worker took a look under the hood, apparently didn't recognize a part, and said "I don't have time for this, go somewhere else." He then retreated back into the office. Went to Jefferson Smog right down the street and was done in less than 5 minutes. This guy was looking for an excuse not to work. The building smelled like human waste, by the way.

Excellent and honest family owed business. Don't think they only do smog checks, but they have Excellent technicians whio can assist you most of your vehicles repairs and maintenance. A+A+A÷

Great service as always. Eric is very honest and very reasonable prices on car repairs.

One of the few places that offer California Safety Inspections which are now required by law in California when trying to register a newly salvaged vehicle. They offered appointments and completed the inspection in about 1 hour. They were nice enough to do a quick walk around before paying in case there was something right off the bat that would fail the inspection. Staff was very friendly and I got the felling this is a solid shop that isn't trying to upsell you, they'll do the work needed at a good price!

Good service - took me right away and only about 30 minutes to get it all certified and sent to DMV. Prices have gone up from last year - was $40 now $59. But I guess everthing is going up - just the way it is.

Not the place you want to do brake and light. They failed my car because they want to change the entire light panel and gave me qoute for replacement and labor which is over priced. I took it in orange county they just told me change the bulb and passed no issue. Crooked place trust me.

Eric the owner is a great! helpful person ! For smog and other repairs I found him to be as honest! as they come! Mike is an outstanding mechenic along with Eric’s crew! I’ve known Eric for many years and have sent lots of friends to him and all have been happy with his service and kindness ! I don’t believe any negative reviews on Murrieta Smog Star! Eric will help you at a fare price if you should need a repair and will research trying to find a good price on a part that you may need! He goes on and above with service.

I have took a few of my cars to this shop. They have been great on service and extremely fair on pricing. I would highly recommend this place.

Such a wonderful and fast service for the brake and lamp certificate! The lady at the front desk was very sweet, and Mike (who provided the service) was also super nice.

They smogged my car in a very timely manner and were very nice people overall. The price was very affordable and fair. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

Great service. I had a smog test. Fast. The technician Eric pointed out that I had rodents living under the engine cover. I did not know and addressed the issue. I also left my car manual with registration by mistake. He called and left a message. Simply wonderful . Thanks to the entire staff. Five star

Terrible place. When I called to see if they could do a smog check on a 1985 car they said yes for $150. When I said that is far more than anyone else they said then go somewhere else. But I needed to get my classic done and went there anyway. I should have known better. So I go there and do the smog check and they said my CAT had been replaced with a non-compliant CAT. I said I have never replaced it and have owned the car for 5 years. I asked how do you know and he said they look different than the manufacturer. I said how do you know what a CAT looks like from a manufacturer from 1985? He had no definitive answer and no proof of a replaced CAT but still failed my car anyway and took my money for nothing. The car passed the emissions check with flying colors a=on all other categories. Also if you have to have them recheck the car they charge you the full fee all over again. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else. You can see from the business' response just how shady they are. So I called a smog ref and they looked over the paperwork and pictures of the engine and confirmed that the test was done grossly wrong and incomplete. This joker does not know how to test older cars. I will be getting a retest done by the state.

When I called they answered promptly and answered all my questions, letting me know I could come in the next morning to wait 1-1.5hrs for a certified Break and Lamp inspection. When I got there, it was seamless. The wait time was as promised, and they had very efficient customer service. Their prices are very fair especially for a walk-in. I will definitely be coming back!

Murrieta Star Smog, Has Great Service, I have been going there since they Opened. Even my brother we take all of are cars there for service. Very friendly employee’s and Good Prices!!! Excellent Service & Record keeping. They have earned there 5 Stars with me. Vicky

Honestly I'd recommend other smog places. The customer service done by Eric is very low quality. You can feel the tension of rude behavior while being here. It honestly made me uncomfortable. And my car just sat for a whole hour without even being touched. It finally got looked at because i spoke up.

This is the place to go if you need service. We had a light inspection done and it was a good experience. They checked it out , sent us to a nearby place for a quick repair and had us out the door with our lights passed certificate in record time. They are friendly and efficient. Nice to do business with. Sue Greer

Best place to get your Brake & Lights Inspection done 4 the DMV. They have reasonable prices but they do great work!! They will text & call you to let you know the work is done if you choose not to stay an wait? They will call & text you until they get a response.... But I would recommend anybody to go get any of there work done that they do??

Very pleasant establishment to have your smog needs met. I am an Active duty Marine, and I was soon ushered to the front of the queue after one of the gentlemen working there heard me mention “Leave” over the phone. I cannot remember if he was the owner or not unfortunately. Very Patriotic and efficient people to do business with. Will recommend!

Both of the owners were very pleasant and professional. It was fast and easy. Great service and great customer service. The price was competitive with other emissions testing places. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes.

Proprietor and wife are friendly, helpful and fast. Their process for checking in, getting tested and checking out was less than 15 minutes, at least for my 2013 Ford Edge Sport. I've used them for years and will continue to go to them as long as we live here. Just be sure you go to the one in the middle of the building not the one towards the street.

They did a great job and were very efficient. When we first arrived, they asked us to come back in an hour or so. At first, we thought of just going to another place. But, Tracy who was working in the front was so friendly and courteous that we decided to wait and return in an hour. He was able to get us in and out and I explained I had 2 more cars to bring in. Each time, I was in and out pretty quickly and actually did not mind the wait. I had the opportunity to watch him and the mechanic in the back work with many customers and they were so friendly and professional with everyone. Great experience!
