Great place and the prices are good. I am going back EXELLENT customer service.
Swift and friendly service, reasonable price, clean waiting room with chairs to work while I wait. Recommended!
I give it five star because they're very friendly and a very clean place
After AZ Smog on Carpenter declined to smog my car 2/12/2025 @ 9:45 am because I said there's a bit of clutter and a bit of dog hair on the passenger side. It really wasn't that bad...but, as a sort of a courtesy I had asked him to check it out. He declined without taking a quick look at the inside and didn't even see the outside. Wow...so I drove less than 5 minutes to Freedom Smog on Kansas...and nice guy named Clay smogged my car in less than 15 minutes. Good price too.
Luis was amazing! Had a lot of respect and was very nice. Going to start bringing all our vehicles here. A+++
Quick in and out, and a good price with a $10:00 off coupon. The man working there was very polite and he handled the job real well. I have went there twice now and I will go back in the future.
Nice smog place. Easy in and out experience. They also usually have coupons available to use on their website!
Veteran friendly!! I’ve been trying to get my 1991 Honda Civic smogged for 2 weeks now and ever place I called or visited basically gave me the runaround. Either I had to make an appointment or I got a “No we can’t do it” or overpriced me for the smogged, no kidding one place on Hatch quoted me $150. One shop told me their computer broke when I could see another car hooked up and it was running just fine. Got up on Saturday morning knew I had to get this done so I hit the map and called around and on my 3rd try found this place. David the service tech was awesome and professional. He told me to come right in. The wait was about a lil over half an hour but that’s only because there were 3 other customers ahead of me and I was a walk in. Which didn’t bother me at all. I failed the smog due to to idling issues but get this... David said the retest was free and after he found out I was a vet he said “bring it in during the week and he’ll fix the idling to try to get it to pass. Great service all the way and the USMC uniform hanging on the wall in the back belongs to the previous owner. Semper Fi! Updated review: I came back on Monday for the idle issue and sure enough David fixed my problem and helped me get my vehicle smog. I was really at the end of my rope and these guys really helped me out. For those who think they gave me special treatment just because I was a vet they really didn’t. I didn’t even mention I was a vet till I was paying for the initial testing. I am so glad I found this shop.
Favorite place to get a smog check.
Quick and easy
Great quick service! Recommend!
Very professional Always good service
Been taking both vehicles there for years. Great place
The waiting is approximately 45 minutes and the retest 2 hrs.
Professional, fast, and quick. In and out.
American veterans would love this waiting room. Honors american patriots and has lots of memoribilia. Great place for smogging a vehicle.
I took me 15 minutes, in and out.
Honest and fast work
Freedom smog always takes care of us veterans. Just make sure your ride is ready to smog. All visual and mechanical smog issues should be ready. Stock parts ircarb snickered parts. My 98 z28 passed with avg to way below average ppm.
I walked in and with in 15 mins. I was out.
They just charged everyone for money without doing anything and they used to scam people by military uniforms that they put on the show
Easy to get an appointment, when I got there I had service right away. Car was done quickly, the staff friendly. Prefer to go here to smog my car. Will be back in 2025!
Fast & friendly
Owner politely took me at almost closing and answered all my questions and adviced me with more Smog DMV stuff. He respected my kids in the car. His demeanor was kind. He didnt rush me but was a gentle talker. I recommend most definitely.
Friendly, efficient, honest.
Good service and very fast
Straight forward smog. I ll be back.
In and out. Wife went by herself and she was given a no hassle service.
Too expensive. The guy is very rude. On the phone giving very little customer service if any. Will never go back here again. And all I needed was a smog check.
Have been here previously for two of my vehicles and took my Dad here for his vehicles. Today I was greeted by whom I believe is the owner in a way that was both disrespectful and extremely rude just because I was there 10 min. Prior to them opening. I didnt say one word to this individual except to apologize for being there. WOW.. Needless to say I found another shop on Carpenter Rd. who was happy to take my money. I wont be returning here nor will I ever recommend them because sometimes you only get one chance.. My boss told me some valuable information once when I was working as a Service Manager, it was, ITS EASIER AND CHEAPER TO KEEP A CUSTOMER THAN TO FIND A NEW CUSTOMER, SO TAKE CARE OF THE ONES YOU HAVE ..
Great customer service, had my car smogged in no time.
Very friendly fast & professional
Incredibly fast and efficient service!! Very patriotic and an over all amazing experience!! Thank you!!
Military discount AMAZING LOBBY Beautiful military pieces
Very rood people don t waste your time
V
Always polite and professional. Ive been taking my vehicles for more than 10 years
Daniel was super nice and professional got our 2000 Avalon smogged within 15-20 minutes. Thank you!
Very fast service! Highly recommend!
Apparently OBD I or older get special treatment, like a huge price tag special. 2000 or newer a nice low price like a guy with an 05 Ram paid $35
Great service, I was told 15 minutes, I was on my way in 10. Super friendly and informative, I will definitely be back.
Super fast. I walked in with no appointment. Within 15 minutes I was on my way. He even honored a coupon easily found if youre reading this review.
Quick and friendly service
In and out
Amazing for sure will refer this place the man was very kind and supper helpful
This shop has fast service, good friendly customer service, they also explain everything about your vehicle perfectly. The prices where reasonable and they make your experience of car repairs not so miserable, Im glad I found this shop and Im happy to refer people.
I love coming to Freedom Smog. You can count on the gentleman to be honest and affordable! I have hone to both Modesto locations and always leave a happy customer!!
Never been there .I was at d.m.v. only
I go here all the time. Good folk.
Great place to come do your smog, staff is always super friendly, quick, plus great waiting area too, definitely recommend.
Always great when I come here. Professional, fast and reasonably priced!! I wont go anywhere else!
Had a good experience. Knowledgeable employees that were very helpful. In and out without an appointment in about 20 minutes.
Great, professional service and prices.
Fast, friendly, excellent service. I Also passed my smog which was a big relief.
Friendly, fast and professional!
Exxon Place always has been I taken my car there twice already and they are right on the dime and they dont try to screw you over
Great place to get a smog done clean and great people
Pass me every time
Friendly, courteous employees, quick service
They were fast efficient and reasonably priced. This was our first time there and had checked out a couple other smog check stations. A great find for us and will go there again as we have a couple cars.
Friendly and efficient
Very polite and gentle nd professional service very clean environment place , everything on time service tech was very helpful and upfront with service.thy deserve 5star
Nice police and very helpful
Service techs were rude and not professional. One guy was sitting in a chair the entire time while 1 tech helped the waiting room full of people. The entire experience was bad and I would not suggest this shop.
These people are liars. Tried to over charge me. Got a quote the day before and after my car was smogged they gave me a higher total cost. I had to fight with them to bring it down. Dont recommend anyone go here.
Awesome experience. 100 customer service.. friendly staff. Great manners. I was so pleased and happy with this shops service. Very quick and professional. Ty
Excellent customer service especially with military members. I would visit again and recommend to anyone; fast, courteous, and professional service.
Top professionals with quality service!
Ive been taking my vehicles to Freedom Smog for a few years now, There extremely polite and professional! Im always in and out, and completely satisfied with the level of service Freedom Smog provides! Will be back wouldnt go anywhere else!
I would recommend this place to everyone! They are fast, friendly and efficient!
They are on point if you fail the first test they will give you a second test free
In and out very fast.
great place. They had an online coupon. Fast no waiting and cheap. hablan espanol
Went to get a smog. We got right in there they did the smog it passed and we were out of their excellent service well be back for our next smog
Owned by a Marine, believe. My gramps was a Marine. So, respect. Museum quality displays at all their places. Much better way to yer wait, than a cell phone receptor. You should see how big the phone in the metal green box tis. That squadron would have decimated half of Modesto for a cellphone, my guess.Tre cool. Worth a visit.
It was awesome. Really great.
Great place to get your car smog - like the burger place in and out
Excellent customer service! Very fast service as well.
Very friendly staff and good service I recommend this place
Very fast and friendly
Thats very nice people and honest
Place was clean and had awesome decor showing great respect for our military and armed forces. Employee had me in and out quickly helping me with our commercial truck smog. We will definitely come back here in the future.
I had a really bad experience with a technician but after speaking with the Owner she seemed really concerned. I gave her my feedback and you can tell she really does care about her customers. Thank you.
Okay
Quick and efficient service
I was told I would need some sort of documentation to smog my car. I took it to the smog shop next door and they snogged my car in 10 mins
The young man at the counter was rude. The bathrooms have no t.p., soap or paper towels. I took back my keys and left. I wont give them my business.
Great service
quick
Super friendly, Ive brought several vehicles here over the years and will continue to bring them. The employees/owners are super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend them.
Workers very rude and also very high price go next door to them.
Great service I was in and out in 10 minutes
Call yesterday the manager told me their dynamo was working, I showed up today at 8:10 am and the guy doing the smogs ask me the year of the vehicle (1998), and he said cant do it because their machine is down. Not very professional way to treat a loyal customer with 5 vehicles.
Came in without an appointment a little after noon. I was asked to come back around 3, I did and the guy got me in as his last car of the day. I really appreciated that and will definitely come back to this business again.
Great service, super fast! Highly recommend when in need of a smog...
Very friendly and amazingly fast and I passed.
Professional staff, fair prices and they support our vetrans.
I would recommend having your car smogged here. The prices were really reasonable. The guys are really nice and explained what was wrong and they showed me what needed to be fixed. I fixed it and returned the next day and passed. Thank you and see you next time I need smog
Friendly and fast service. I was in and out in less than 30 min. Also price is very affordable.
I needed a smog check and went here based on another persons recommendation. It was your standard issue smog check place but this location included good service and air conditioning. All in all I think it lives up to a 5 star rating
Love this smog place really great service an worker is the best an fast
I am not going to give too many details because I dont want them to fail my smog because of my post. So far this has been the cheapest place for me because of their coupons. They found something wrong with my car and was told to fix it. They assured that everything else was perfect and passed except for that. I fixed it myself because I had just lost my job and had to pay my rent and bills and didnt have money to buy the part. I took the car back; they didnt like how I fixed it and was told that I had to buy the part. I told them that I didnt have money and they said that they cant pass it without chaining the part. I ended up taking it to a mechanic and began expending money that couldnt spend since I still needed to renew the registration. So, took it back after getting it fix; now they started coming up with other excuses to not pass the car.
My wife and I have been going here for a few years now. I showed up not aware that they closed at 4:00pm. I waited several minutes while the gentlemen was working on only one customers car. He saw me and came in saying they were closed. He said they closed at 4:00pm. I walked back to the car and it was just before 4:00pm. I hate when businesses post their time and mean another. Say you close at 3:45pm then. Plus, in this current environment you leave money on the table. Couldnt have been the owner.
This is thr best place in Modesto for smog, have brought a few cars here through the years always good value, professional, friendly and quick, Gary helped us today and he was on the move getting them cars in and out. Even though he was busy he was professional very friendly not trying to make us feel rushed. I highly recommend this place
Jordan did a great job very nice and fast

Went here two times now. Easy to set up an appointment. There is an available waiting place which is nice and clean. Very reasonable pricing and fast and efficient service.
Always excellent service here also great customer service.Daniel was very friendly went above and beyond. Owners should know what a great employee he is. Give this man a raise..
Awesome . Dude was cool .
Super quick, pleasant to deal with and they are good at their job. Plus you can always find a coupon by googling smog coupons.
Great service, knowledgeable staff. I went in today for a smog and it didnt pass. Staff knew that I recently had a dead battery because of why it didnt pass. They told me I just needed to drive and give time for the computer to reset and bring it back for retest. In and out in less than 30 min. And the best part is their respect for military. I would recommend to anyone.
I love this place, theyre quick, patriotic, and give one free retest awsome place and I always go to them!
Guy at front desk was polite.
My father alway taught me you rate a garage by how clean the work area is... its the cleanest Ive seen in a long time. 5 s .They were fast, efficient & friendly.
Got there Early and Daniel got me in and out Fast. They are Awesome and are also practicing safe distancing for all those those folks that need to know. Thanks Daniel and Freedom Smog. Highly recommend this shop.
Great service. I returned again this year and I have to tell you they make it simple and the guys are great! Veterans get a discount. The owner is a vet and displays it proudly.
I m active duty military and as they advertise it s free! Their service was quick and easy and their waiting office is military friendly and has a nice atmosphere to it. Will definitely recommend to my buddy s!
Quick and easy smog.
Great service, a little bit of a wait but worth it.
Really great service, really nice people, that Decor is really cool has all kinds of military stuff in it it was just the neatest thing it covered all the services it was just really really a cool place and they had my car done in no time at all. I highly recommend that you go online binder coupon because we got a really great coupon and take your car to them to be smogged.
Great customer service fast and great prices
Rude
Friendly and fast service!
Love this place. Respectful Employees. They take pride in their work clothes as well as their customers.
Fast, efficient and fair prices
Freedom Smog always treats me right and does good work. They diagnosed and fixed a problem with a funky sensor in this case. They are always upfront about pricing, honest and fair. Cant recommend enough!
Went in to smog my car last minute. I was there maybe about 45 min before they closed and I was more than happy to be able to get it done. I ve been coming here for about 2 years now and I wouldn t go anywhere else. Great customer service. Thanks to David for the awesome job and service! Thank you Freedom Smog for taking care of military families
Hornest in and out never have a problem
good place to have your car smog
I just had the most wonderful experience here. Everyone who helped me was really great. Very friendly and very helpful! The wait was not long at all and the waiting area is very clean and inviting. I wish I had come to freedom smog sooner!
Very good prices, excellent staff. Fast good service
Smog was fine but they broke the lock on my gas cap and refuse to replace it. Not going back to an unprofessional place. Owner refused to take responsibility as well for her worker.
The people are great good experience they have a lot of knowledge people who work for them so I give it a good thumbs up and I thank him for helping me
Fair place, no complaints.
Super fast, reasonably priced. Will return
Great customer service and no wait time at all.
Good place to go and get your car smogged very get you in and out quickly
Great service done quickly
Great service!
Good service
Always get a good deal here... Extra discount for veterans...
The owner was very nice and had a nice shop
my girlfriend went to the kansas location for a star smog and they told her that they were in the process in getting certified i then called 20 min later to ask if they were star certified and they said yes. Went in the next morning and jordan said my car was too low and the exhaust was going to get crushed so he said the shop in riverbank can take me. I called before making the trip out there and the person who i spoke to said he didnt have any gas for the machine and didnt know when he would have it available he then told me he could make an appointment and said he would call me as soon as something opened up. An hour went by i went to drop off her car at work and i called the shop back to see if they received any gas the guy told me not yet. Decided to take the car next morning in the riverbank location and told the guy that i was there to get a star smog and he told us that they were all booked with APPOINTMENTS for the day and couldnt help us. It was 11am and they close at 6 pm. It was obvious that the appointment i had supposedly made yesterday was not important enough to be written down. We got into a heated argument and left disappointed. Christina the owner called me And we talked things out. Bottom line id rather spend $70 for true customer service than $30 for the lowest grade service if any service was provided.
Over prized
Always helpful . Veteran would love this place
These guys are Awesome Sauce!!
First time. Great place for Vets. While my car didnt pass, I felt the tech tried many times(my car had been altered illegally to pass smog). I was given advice as to why it couldnt be tested and required more service shop stuff. I didnt even asked for it, but he canceled the test and said no charge. Once I get this lemon repaired Im bringing it back to Freedom Smog. While the test didnt turn out the way I would have liked, I felt this place is honest and friendly. Glad I found them.
Very fast & courteous. Would recommend this place to everyone.
Excellent service
Excelent service and a true American patriotic
I don t like the service, it supposed was guaranteed but it doesn t
great price ... fast service , friendly people ...
Great service
Thay get you in and out fast
Quick and easy
Just got my Honda CRV smogged. Staff had great customer service , super quick and fast definitely would recommend to anyone who needs their vehicle smogged
Got a groupon coupon and he said i waisted my money and still wanted the code! Little respect and was rude about the coupon! I Walked in they didn t get any of my info so I went next door. 5% off with a good price. Go check out Smog Dynamic next door!!
Awesomely fast and friendly
Really appreciate the customer service David gave, hes a really cool guy. And it felt like i was there for 10mins, definitely would go back
Great place and great service. Recommend to anyone. Also they have army decorations a great place to get your car smogged.
