This dude can smog a car like it's never been done before! He moves like a cat! You're in his jungle! Just a glance and he can tell if it's going to pass. It's intuition. A sniff of the exhaust and THIS DOG WILL HUNT! Yeeeeawwww! Prepare to be smogged!

I did my smog check here two years ago, and they are still just as friendly and fast as they were back then. I’ll definitely be coming back next time. Paid $50.00

My smog check was super quick and easy. Mr. Choi was very nice and I happened to show up when there was no wait time, so I was in and out within about 10 minutes. Highly recommend it if you need a smog check!

I had my smog test done and the repair tech was very professional and friendly. I was in and out in 20 minutes or so. The great thing was that they charged me only $70 total for the pass with the certificate, while other shops in the area charge $90 and don't offer a free retest. But this place offers one free retest if needed, which is huge, if by chance you fail. The shop is a STAR text-only station if you need that (it will specify on your DMV registration if needed). California requests annual tests of 15% of the owners, in high smog areas like LA. I've had that before, which sucks because of the extra expense, when it's supposed to be every 2 years for a smog test. Some other local shops charge extra for older cars, but not these guys. The shop looks crowded and s bit messy, but who cares, because they do a great job and get you in and out in a hurry! A+ Service.

3/2018 Efficient ,fast and professional is the reason why I've always come here for smog test/checks. No bullshiting around ,hand over paperwork, fill the form out sign it and have a seat. they run the test pass/fail then pay and leave. 7/2026 Quick and easy test today. I have done several smog test over the past few years and every time it’s simple and efficient. In 2024 I smogged a Fiat that had a battery replacement. The Fiat computer had to reset to be smogged. This meant driving the vehicle until the sensors were recognized and tested by the computer. It took over 300 miles for the catalyst to be ready for testing. Some cars take only a few miles when new a battery or sensors are installed but unfortunately the Fiat took longer. After 4 visits finally passed. If I wasn’t told at the first smog test attempt that the Fiat took an excessive drive time to reset I would have started changing sensors. If I would have went to a repair shop they would have changed sensors. I should have used an Obd reader to check readiness but live and learn
