Darn, forgot about the coupon! Still a good deal anyway, $61. For our car, anyway, we have a small car. Anyway, we drove in without an appt. and they took us. very nice people who work there. 5 stars! read more

Crystal at A Plus Smog is great! I made an appointment the same day and was in and out in 30 min. The prices are reasonable and my car passed smog with flying colors. Crystal took the time to go over the results and even recommended a reputable shop nearby to get my maintenance done. I will definitely be back for my next smog and would highly recommend this shop to any who needs a smog! read more

I cannot rave enough about A Plus Smog Test Center. . .this is the place to go for a quality smog test at a reasonable price. You can even find discount coupons for it online if you google it. We take all of our cars here, from a Toyota, to our Lexus and Acura and the service from this "Woman Owned" business is outstanding. read more

I have been taking my vehicles to this shop for several years now, and it has always been a pleasure. Efficient, well-priced, friendly, no fuss. I see no reason to look around for another place - this is my go-to smogging certification shop. read more

Drove my car in...left 30 minutes later. No stress, no hassle, lovely service.

I was greeted with a smile and even though I was a walk-in, I was taken within minutes. She was friendly, fast and thorough about giving me information on our transfer of ownership for our vehicle. I highly recommend getting your smog check here, plus the waiting room is under some beautiful trees. Who doesn't love that! read more

I went there with no appointment and they fit me in. I was in and out in less than 30 min. She was so professional and informative. I highly recommend them if you need a smog check read more

First off, best experience. Krystal was the most caring women to help a stranger like me. I had went there to smog my vehicle and a light that was not on came on, and instead of taking my money and failing me. She was honest from the start and warned me first. Not only that, she helped me out with the next steps, hooked me up with some numbers and told me some options. I was so lucky I came to her, had it been Anyone else- I probably would of heard the "not my problem" saying. She treated me like family, was very clear on pricing and how it works, the business was surprisingly easy to find and get to. I will be back and use this business forever, no need to look else where. read more

Was able to call and get an immediate appointment on a Friday afternoon. Was able to walk to to Moonlight Beach during the 30 minutes the smog check took. Excellent service and great location. read more

crystal is fantastic and a one-woman show. not sure how she does it, but she provides great customer service, quick in and out, and all at a fair price. great local business. read more

The owner of this shop is seriously the nicest person. It is so easy to make an appointment and often times don't even need one. You are in and out so fast with no nonsense. I never go anywhere else. She is the best. She had to move to a new location but same wonderful lady and same wonderful service. read more

Been using A Plus for many years. Always great, friendly service at a good price.

First time here and I will definitely be a returning customer! I called to make an appointment and was told that I could bring my car in and it would be completed in 30 minutes. The owner was SUPER nice, extremely knowledgeable and helpful and true to her word. My car was finished within 30 minutes and she noticed my tires were low so she put air in the tires. I recommend them highly! read more

Crystal runs a great shop. Made a same-day appointment and was done in 30 minutes. Quality work, very friendly, and price was 30% less that the dealership. Check out her many beautiful potted plumeria plants while you wait or take a short walk to good places to eat. read more

Very quick and efficient! I took my truck in on my lunch break, without an appointment, and it was done within 30 minutes. The owner was very nice and answered all my questions. read more

Took my audi TT here and she failed. Got some work done and she passed. Staff was very nice, helpful and I was in and out in no time. Very convenient. I will use them again. read more

Great service both times I've been there! I've taken 2 cars here now and the service is great & the lady is very nice. Very friendly & professional! Would definitely recommend. read more

I was greeted the moment i arrived, i was a early and the nice lady was helping someone else, but in between helping the other person she made sure to acknowledge me and get me started filling out some paperwork. I left the keys and went to have lunch and came back and she was super nice, i had a TPMS light on when i arrived and when i got in the car it was gone, idk if she filled my tire up with air or she just reset it but it was an eyesore and she removed it even though she didnt have to. Either way awesome place would recommend to anyone read more

Sorry I am not a regular Yelp reviewer but I have to share what a terrible terrible experience I had with A+ Smog Test. Owner may know smog test but nothing about being an honest business person. She closed my hood on my air filter scoop and bent the hood. The air filter was about 3" higher than where it should have been and she forced the hood to close. It took some effort to close and huge lack of awareness to not stop and see what was going on. The worst part is she admits it was her mistake and wanted to get a quote from her auto body shop. My shop says $2400. Her "shop" says it was my fault because of loose parts and she will pay for the damage to the scoop. Probably $200. They never gave me a price. FYI, my car is a 1979 Trans Am fully restored so I know the hood was straight and not damaged. Now there are creases and does not close flush. She is NOT trustworthy. Do NOT take your vehicle there. Plenty of other business in the area that will stand behind their work and take ownership in their mistakes. read more

Fast, friendly and got my $10 off for checking in with Yelp. What more would u want for a smog check? Best spot near the beach. Walk Encinitas while u wait. I will use again in 2 years. read more

I have been taking both my cars for SMOG tests for over 7+ years and my experience of the customer service echos those of the many 5 star reviews you will read about the person that runs this business. I stopped looking for deals and I head straight to A Plus Smog center even if I can take my cars to a non smog only test centers. read more

Owner was very informative. About 40 minutes. $50 with the coupon. Would def recommend and will come back. (I would however hate to see it on a busy day) read more

Not a good experience. Bossy woman. Over-priced compared to other local smog services. No free re-test even if the gas cap is the only failure. Went to Encinitas Smog on Hwy 1 2 blocks up the street. Great service... kind people. $12 less and FREE retest. read more

I set an appointment for 2. My car was not even looked at until 245. No apology or reason given. They ran my car through the entire test (it passed) and then proceeded to fail me on the visual inspection claiming that my EVAP hose was falling apart. It was no falling apart at all and I feel very scammed. I replaced it and went back, had to pay again to have the test redone. It passed again, with the EXACT same reading as I had before replacing the hose. What a scam artist. Avoid her. There are 100s of smog stations, you can do better trust me. read more

My experience was a lot like all the other 5 star reviews for this place. Great experience and I love the fact that there is always plenty of parking at this place. Enough space to know that other cars won't ding my doors when they open theirs and makes for an easy drop-off. A short walk to E-Street Cafe for a coffee while I wait and I plan to come back for all my smog tests. I would easily pay a few dollars more for the service and attention I get at this place. I value great service and reliability well above saving a buck or two. read more

Fast, efficient, courteous service and very reasonable rates.

I brought my BMW 528i in for it's smog check. I made an easy reservation over the phone with the owner Crystal. She is super nice on the phone and in person. My appointment was at 3:30 PM, but I arrived early and Crystal said no problem let's get going. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. In addition, I enjoyed our conversation, Crystal is from South China, close to Hong Kong. I have lived in Hong Kong and been to China a handful of times, it was fun chatting with her about Asia. I highly recommend A Plus! read more

I am back again and this lady is consistent. She does good work and had great could timer service

I had been flying under the smog radar for the last month now but seeing as it was the last part of re-registering my car I finally ended up making an appointment at A plus Smog test only center. They were fantastic-Crystal was great on the phone the three times I cancelled my appointment and even better in person. I was in and out of there in 20 minutes and even got a mini Chinese lesson (from Crystal) in the process. They have a beautiful little outdoor garden/sitting area with birds discreetly hiding in various cages in the foliage and I just sat there listening to them sing while I waited. It reminded me of Thailand. This place is a little hole in the wall and you wouldn't necessarily notice it if you hadn't found them online but I absolutely plan to do all my future smog business there. Of course I passed, and perhaps a failing smog test would have colored me different-but she went over all the details on what I should do before the next test to stay up to snuff so I don't think I will be too worried about it. read more

What a sweet lady! It's cool to see a woman running an auto shop all by herself. All the other reviewers are spot on. Great service.

I m glad I found this place.. Crystal is very friendly and provides great customer service. There are no hidden costs and she is upfront about all fees so you know what you will be paying in advance. The price is reasonable and when you are waiting for your vehicle smog test you can kill time on the Encinitas strip. Which has a lot of great eating places and shops. She also took us in right before closing for one of my vehicles and it was super fast! I highly recommend this place for your smog check :) read more

Friendly and cheerful service. The gal here really knows her stuff, too. Make an appointment, and you'll be in and out in under an hour. Plus, it's right in the middle of downtown so plenty to do while you wait. read more

I went to another smog place just down 101 and had a terrible experience which ended up with them telling me that they couldn't test my car because I had an electronic throttle. I read a couple reviews (should've done this first) for A+ and decided to give it a shot. The experience was night and day and she explained that just because I have an electronic throttle, it doesn't mean that it's not possible to smog test but just that it takes a little more effort and patience. I was in and out in around 20 mins. Long story short, if you live anywhere near Encinitas, don't bother going anywhere else. Just go to A+. read more

I've taken a half dozen cars here to be smogged and the service is always great. The owner is super friendly and if you don't want to spend time in the waiting area the beach is just a couple of blocks away. It's hard to beat! read more
