The smog tech's took our $60, and within 5min's came back saying the vehicle failed a visual inspection without any valid reason... sending us on our way making note that no refund will be provided.

Immediately, we found a reputable smog shop where our car passed both the visual and smog tests. Calling for an explanation professionally, we were hung up on. Calling once more and requesting smog/business licenses... they refused to provide (illegal), and were yelled at threateningly before being hung up a second time.

Researching the company, we found only 1 out of 3 of the smog tech's having valid licenses to perform tests and none of them are certified mechanics. Calling looking for a reputable smog shop, local auto shops refuse to refer anyone to EZSMOG for the same reports from multiple of their customers.

I URGE ALL WITH THE SAME EXPERIENCE TO FILE A GRIEVANCE REPORT EVERYWHERE YOU CAN, MOST IMPORTANTLY WITH THE BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, GOOGLE MAPS, CITY SEARCH, AND RIPOFF REPORT OF COURSE.

I can only hope this information saves others from being scammed.

Business and smog tech licenses are as follows:

Sean Cherrigton (owner, expired smog tech) - Business License #2003-032117, Expired Smog Tech License EA143519, valid until 11/30/2010.

Christopher James Smith (smog tech) - Smog Tech License EA145110, valid until 4/30/2012.

Robert Leroy Comer (expired smog tech) - Smog Tech License EA037608, valid until 4/30/2009.
