In the past I have always dreaded having to get my smog check done, not anymore, because I have found AAA Smog Check! If you are looking for a family-owned small business that knows how to treat their customers this is the place to come. I found them through Yelp ( THANK YOU!!) and am a very satisfied customer. The service is professional, fast and reasonably priced. The lounge area is not fancy, but it is large and comfortable, The best part about coming here are the owners, they are a husband/wife dynamic duo, who are enjoyable to talk to and who really seem to love what they do. read more

I would recommend it to anyone who, doesn't like going to a dirty garage to get there smog check and prefers a clean friendly clean place. read more

Fantastic helpful staff. Great place to get your vehicle smog done. I been coming here for over 5 years.

Awesome people here and the best deal in town can't beat it don't bother going anywhere else.

Yelp never lets me down, after the Highlander failed at another Smog place in Kearny Mesa, I yelped this place and it was close to work, and they told me no problem and was able to test my car when the other placed could not (acceleration violation), made a call they said bring it in at lunch, took care of it quicker than i could eat my sandwich. all the reviews of this place are true, this is my new smog place. read more

The name does no justice! You really have to come and experience the level of professionalism, speed of service and customer service. The time spent in the shop was very brief but also very pleasant. The couple was asking if I was in the Coast Guard (I guess they saw my uniform in the car). We had a short chat about the service and how their son wants to join. $40 spent, smog complete, smile on my face : ) AAA+ read more

Super nice folks Ainee @ Jim I will return! Looked up my care using my plate because goofy me left my paperwork at home. All is good thanks AAA Smog of Santee Kelley P read more

Just finished going here again and it's been a while since I've came. I got a newer car, so I haven't had to come. Well, I pulled up and went in and it is the same couple that own and operate this place as last time. They are super courteous and friendly. I was in and out in literally 10 minutes! Yes, 10! Like I said before, don't bother taking your car or truck anywhere else! These people are, "THE BEST!". No hassles or gimmicks, just very good, honest people. read more

I had contacted them through Yelp and got a reply right away with the price. I showed up shortly after they opened and was greeted with a smile. It was so quick and everyone was friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more

Sam was so nice! he gave me a nice discount because I told him I found him off of Yelp! I got my smog checked and it was finished in only ten minutes. I also appreciated the paintings inside haha. very nice guys and a very affordable price! quick and sweet! read more

I realized last minute that the due date to turn my papers in for smog was approaching fast. With it being a weekend, I didn't think anywhere would be open, But they were. They took my car and I was in and out of there in about 25 minutes. They also sent all the paperwork to the DMV for me so it was on record. That made it easy to pay for registration. They also gave me a discount after mentioning that I found them on Yelp. I will definately be going there again when my car needs to. read more

This place is amazing. The recently had someone who came in and painted a moral on the wall and it's beautiful. The are always polite and efficient. The lady behind the counter is so sweet and professional. Also very quick. We were in and out in about 10 minutes. This is the 4th time I've used them for two different cards. I'm sticking with them for a long time. Also they send paper electronically to the DMV. read more

Normally getting your car smogged is something you have to do that you are not looking forward to. It is like having to go to the dentist. But, these guys are amazing. They are super friendly. The service was fast. I was in and out of there way faster than I had imagined, and the whole thing was smooth. I would definitely recommend them! -Shawn & Jacqui read more

Best priced smog center out of the 10 that I called, and it took less than 10 minutes total! It's also located right next to EZ Auto Registration, so it ends up being very convenient if you are needing both registration/title transfer services in addition to a smog check. Friendly, clean, and quick service. Highly recommended. read more

Great service, fast and friendly with great advice if needed. I needed a re test and they advised me on what needed to be addressed and how to do it the easiest and most cost effective way. read more

AAA Smog Center - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Santee, California

They are so quick performing smog test! I was in and out of there in like 15 minutes! Amazing and affordable!

Came in to smog my Acura Integra unfortunately my OBD2 readiness monitors were not set yet, the people working there Holly , Justin and Travis gave me advice on how to get the the monitors to set, I followed their advice and came back the next morning. They checked the vehicle and sure enough the codes set. I got my passing smog certification and even got my registration tags here in less then 15 minutes. This spot is way quicker and more convenient then dealing with the DMV, Even better we're the people working here. read more

The couple who runs this business are amazing! They are the friendliest people you will ever meet, I guarantee it. The location is kind of hidden, but it is very clean. They have an indoor seating area with a television so you can sit in comfort while waiting for your car to be done. I suggest this place over the "other" place down the street by the Sonics. read more

Service was excellent, they were done with my smog and had it sent off to DMV before I even finished my paperwork! Very polite and professional, wonderful couple made me feel welcomed! Price is better than any other coupon deal you will find anywhere in SD for STAR and TEST ONLY!! Was almost too good to believe after all I've dealt with over the years with other smog shop nightmares with lowered imports, BMW's and Jeeps!! read more

These guys are great. Second time in and recieved nothing but the best in efficiency and customer service. I was in and out in 15-20 min. Got my smog, paid my registration and received my tags all in one place. Would definitely highly recommend! read more

First confused - Called and was quoted $45 for Smog, get there and told it would cost $50. Second in same building or same business as AAA smog. Did not get Smog done here as would not charge me the price quoted over phone. Spent $50 at an honest service. If use this business get price quote in writting before having work done. read more

I'm not the kind of person that write reviews or feedback for the most part, really, and I also tend to mistrust the validity of reviews when a business has many many more 5 star feedback than most of surrounding area same kind of business, but it would be unfair not to support this smog check station because all of the guys working there are a class act, a first class act. They are nice, they are polite, they explain in detail any question or concern and they have a very nice climate controlled waiting room. This is a family owned business and it shows. They got my business for all future smog checks; a very pleasant experience, thank you guys:) read more

These couple is awesome! I needed a smog on a Tuesday and didn't even take 30 mins. I'm a sucker for great customer service and they sure get an A+! Owned by an Indian couple and they are both super duper friendly and great sevice. If you need a smog and live in Santee, come here, its so worth it! read more

AAA Smog Center - Men when it comes down to honesty and customer satisfaction this place is awesome - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Santee, California

We took in our RV, that we had bought from a private seller. We had a couple different places tell us they could do the RV but then couldn't fit it in or didn't have a large enough machine. These guys got us in and done no problem.The prices are listed on the wall which I really like because some places it felt like they just randomly come up with a price. They also beat all the other places in price! We also were able to do our transfer of title there which saved me the hours of sitting at the DMV! read more
