I came here yesterday to get my car smog checked, because I guess you can't just pay for your registration anymore, you have to do a smog test too... Anyway, I called, was told it would be $50 for my car, then came in, got my car smog checked super quickly, then was able to leave, all for $50! I think I was only there for about 10-15 minutes total? It was easy! The service was quick. The value was there. Everything was easy. No hassle. No problems. Just a quick and easy service provided by an excellent local business. Great place to go! read more

Choi is the definition of kind and professional. Even though I came in close to closing, he waited for me and treated me with so much patience and respect. My car didn't pass due to a permanent code, and instead of rushing me, he took the time to explain what that meant, gave me clear guidance, and reassured me about next steps. He even encouraged me to take a photo of the posted instructions so I wouldn't forget. He was also extremely fair with pricing and offered a discounted retest. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and isn't just trying to make a quick buck. So grateful I found this place -- I'll definitely be back and highly recommend Joy to anyone needing a smog check. read more

Really easy process! I found Choi Smog on Yelp since I needed a Star certified smog check. There were so many positive reviews, I headed over on a Friday morning without an appointment and Mr. Choi took me right away. He assured me it would take 10 mins and did! We wore our masks and I sat on the adjacent bench as he took my DMV paperwork and ran the test. He printed out a summary for me and voila! Done in ten minutes. Note that because I needed a Star certification, he couldn't honor the Yelp coupon that I checked in with. But because I brought it up, he knocked $5 off my total so I appreciated that. I'll definitely be back in two years! read more

Not going to lie... I was more than a little nervous taking care of car matters myself, and confused between a smog test vs. STAR smog check. I looked up a few places and Choi Smog Test Only Center had glowing reviews so came here without an appointment, not knowing what to expect... And 15 minutes later, I not only had my first smog test under my belt but the results were sent directly to DMV without me even asking! Plus, the price is right... if only other car-related matters were this easy to handle! Credit cards accepted but cash preferred. His shop is the one closest to the gate. Support local! read more

The time finally came to get a smog check for my car and after researching the great reviews at Choi Smog Test, I decided that this would be the place to have the honor of checking my precious Toyota Camry. All jokes aside, I had a great experience at Choi Smog this past Saturday. Even with the temperatures at a record 104 degrees Mr. Choi was still very helpful, efficient, affordable and most of all, friendly. I was totally expecting with the weather being what it was that Mr. Choi be less than enthusiastic about having to run a test, but this was totally not the case and he took the entire visit in stride, despite the heat. The entire process took about 10 minutes from beginning to end and they honored my Yelp check-in, making my total only $40 for the smog check and the electronic transmission fee. They have two different spots in the garage and can realistically handle two smog checks at the same time, meaning that you'll never need to wait very long for service. They take both card and cash which is great if you don't have time to hit the ATM. I highly recommend Choi Smog Test if you get the notice in the mail. read more

I let them know that I did see a transfer case drain/fill on the CarFax report before I bought it. Jared thinks they just didn't torque it properly so they were going to retorque and clean up around the area and keep an eye on it. Worst case scenario, they would need to order a new drain plug gasket and I'd have to come back to get it replaced. Thankfully, the drain plug just needed to get tightened.

When I ran the quote through ChatGPT I was told they were charging me dealership pricing for an independent mechanic for that type of work in LA. So I brought the truck here to Speedway where I had Minor worked done before and had a good experience. They told me my bearings need to be replaced and did the work for lesson than a quarter of the price I was quoted at the other mechanic. Work was finished in a day and the truck has been running perfectly since then. Had I spent to 4800 at the place it wouldn't have even resolved the issue, which means I would've had to come out of the pocket even more after the initial work was done. Obviously a truck of this age is gonna have some problems and when they inevitably happen again I will be back here at Speedway to take care of them.

I love that I took a chance on this place! $40, inclusive of tax, super quick, AND HIS SNACK CHOICES ARE AMAZING. Today it was a basket full of brownie brittle, golden rice cookies, red vines, and gluten-free protein snickerdoodles (which was perfect, since I was STARVING, and have a gluten sensitivity.) He strikes me as honest - as the price he quoted me on the phone was the price I paid, including tax. He didn't try to hustle me the way I think the guy at EZ Smog tried to. (Btw, the guy doesn't understand service. Even if you're having a good, long time having a friendly chat with another customer, it's still nice to acknowledge anyone who's waiting in the blazing sun to say, "I see you, I'll be right with you.") When I asked how much a smog check was, he looked me up and down, then looked at my car, and asked the model and the year. (2003 Honda Civic). Because it was so "old" he said it would cost $60, BUT with a SPECIAL coupon, it would be $50, before tax. I immediately called around, and Mr. Choi told me $40, as long as it was a regular smog check, which was indicated on the DMV notice. (Had no interest in the year of my car, or tried to make me feel stupid and insecure the way the EZ Smog guy did.) I was just SO grateful to find this place, after driving (running) away from EZ Smog! He was super quick to give me service, told me to holler if I needed anything -- which wasn't necessary, since I was pretty much in and out in less than 10 minutes. read more

USC Smog Test looks like a small garage behind the El Huevo fast food drive through place, so pull in and drive towards the back of the lot. Take my dad's advice: when you need to get your car serviced, be the first one there when they open so you don't have to wait. In this case, that would be 9am. Safe (and low smog) travels!
