Horizon Smog

We took our 1987 Cadillac here a few days ago. The tech was clueless about it, first telling us it failed because of a check engine light not working and then backtracking saying he wasn’t knowledgeable enough and didn’t charge us. Ok, no problem. Except he then submitted it to DMV as a fail! Come on man. Horizon, train your employees better.

Probably the best smog experience I’ve ever had.
I was at the station in Martinez. The guy was professional, yet personable. He demonstrated knowledge of his profession and the process.
I’m bringing all my vehicles here from now on!

Great service. The inspector Timothy Hagen is very efficient, courteous and with a good sense of humor. Makes something as mundane and irritating as a smog check surprisingly pleasant.
I was in and done in less than 15 minutes. Thank goodness this place is close to home and convenient.
Will be back again for my next smog check.

Ok. So went here because it was closer than my usual Pacheco smog. Never again! Our truck wasn’t ready to smog because it didn’t get hot enough guy said. Still made us pay and couldn’t give us any guidance. Take it to Pacheco smog (my normal spot). Still same not ready reading but Jose told us how to fix the problem by re flashing the eom (I think) and didn’t charge us. So now re flashed and will never go anywhere else again. People listen to me. Pacheco smog guys are helpful and honest and know what the hell they are talking about. Horizon smog will just take your money and shrug.

Solid. I liked the staff, he was really nice and no nonsense. The wait time wasn’t horrible there were two cars ahead of me and I was out of there in about 30 minutes. He did open about two hours late so you might want to call before showing up (I took no stars off because of this)

First time here. This guy only charged $ 48 to smog my 93 vehicle. pretty good price considering most others are$ 80. My vehicle did need a new gas cap because it did not pass visual inspection, due to cracked rubber gasket. I had to buy a new one for $ 7 and pay $ 13 for a retest.
It’s stupid how he has to run the entire test again due to cracks on a gas cap. Despite the fact the vehicle passed the smog test. But that’s the law, not him. $ 13 for the retest is fair, most other shops would charge way more than that.
I WOULD GO HERE AGAIN;
As for the smog checks they are ridiculous, stupid, lame as F#$%, horrible, waste of time, another reason I’m moving out of California when I retire.

My car passed so that’s good! There wasn’t any waiting area for customers, but Ace Hardware is in the same shopping center. Make sure if you get a good price via the phone, that they honor it when you get there. :). In and out pretty quickly.

WOW!!! no hassle smog check… out in 15 mins, with dmv notified electronically, yay!!!

I see everyone posting such good reviews, that it’s making me think that maybe I was just there on an off day. My husband and I called on a friday morning to get a price on getting my car smogged. We were told the price and when we double checked, they assured us that was the price. When we arrived, we were told it cost $ 20 more than the original price we were quoted. The guy told us he’d meet us halfway. That seemed a little sketchy but whatever, he was trying to work with us. After all was said and done, our car didn’t pass smog which I didn’t think it would anyway. When we got home and started looking at the paper we got back to figure out what the problem was, we realized he hadn’t written down the numbers on the paper he gave us. How are we supposed to figure out what the problem is without knowing the numbers? I just wasn’t very pleased with my visit and I think I’ll be looking to go somewhere else next time.

My husband had been searching around for an affordable and accurate test-​smog site. Happily he found Horizon Smog who were friendly, affordable and accurate. They will not price-​gouge you like others. 5 Stars they earned it!
They are located on the same plot of land as the Ace Hardware. This is a hidden gem!

Very clean, Easy to get to… right in front of Bill’s Ace Hardware on Pacheco Blvd @ Morello rd. I even went into Ace while waiting and got a Pepsi.

Do not go here!!! Both the tech and owner were extremely rude. They charged me twice for the service they screwed up the first time. Then the tech both PHYSICALLY and verbally ATTACKED me!!! I don’t know about you, but in my opinion under no circumstances should an employee pull you out of a moving vehicle.

Best price I found to smog my small RV. In n out in less than 15 min. Easy to find. Kind of small place but it did it job for less

Stupid Chevy. Not only do the lights light themselves on fire every 3 months but now it needs a smog check.
I just got back to work from having a baby on May 2^nd. The Smog Test was due on May 9^th in order to get my May Registration up to date. Whats a girl to do?
Thank God this place is right around the corner.
My car was quickly taken in and hooked up while I reposed myself in the little waiting room. That is pleasantly decorated but really needs a paint job. Hint, hint…
About 10 minutes later my car was done and passed. The only good thing to come out of this crap car in years.
Customer service is excellent and fast and very informative.
I would say I cant wait to come back but I think I can wait again, because I’ll come back whenever DMV says I have to.

I may be slightly biased because this place is very close to home, but it was very easy to find — signs that can be seen from Pacheco and the driveway is clearly marked.
The attendant is friendly and personable and really seems to know what he is doing.
The waiting room if comfortable and clean, with really nice looking chairs — I would suggest painting the walls to match and then it would feel just like sitting in someone’s living room. It even has a TV (along with the usual pile of magazines) for you to help pass the time.
The price is fair and they offered a coupon online which made things even better.
I would definitely go back.
