Billy is the best. Wouldn't take my cars anywhere else. Everyone living downtown (and elsewhere) please come support him!

Honest, fast, clean and well priced. I highly recommend Billy at downtown LA smog check.

Great service, great quality. The guy is very knowledgeable and kind. In n out, 10/10 recommend! Billy was great!

I was able to call the same day and get an appointment for a smog check. They were quick, easy and affordable. Definitely will recommend my friends go here. read more

Smog check was quick and easy. Was able to take advantage of the coupon on Yelp and it cost only $40 and literally took 10-15 minutes. It's a very cramped lot ( multiple auto repair shops in a small area), but they make it work. Staff is straightforward, and the work was done in no time. Much appreciated. read more

I checked in with no problems. Dario was the smog technician. He was quick and efficient, and had excellent customer service skills. I was very impressed with how quickly he was able to perform the smog check. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who needs to get their smog test certification. I give this place five stars read more

Did a fantastic job. In and out in 20 minutes. Fair price given with all details explained prior to starting. 10/10 would recommend!

I'm new to California/LA so this was my first ever smog check. I called ahead to make an appt and was in and out in 20 mins. They said they couldn't run credit cards at the moment so it was cash only. When I told the guy I had literally no cash on me, he said I could Venmo or zelle them. Service was quick and reliable. read more

Happy new year! My car registration was due and required smog test. After looking on yelp I called a few places who can test quick. I called DTLA smog and they were ready. I met with owner Dario and he was wearing a mask which during COVID times is important. He ran the smog test which took less than 10 minutes and paid. Overall experience was great! So if you need a smog test done in DTLA area this is the place to go! read more

came here last week and the guy there was very creepy. he kept asking me weird questions that had nothing to do with the smog I kind of regretted giving him my renewal notice with my address and other personal info on there. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOURE ALONE AND FEMALE. weird vibes all around read more

Easy and quick smog check! If you need a smog inspection I definitely recommend stopping by DTLA smog. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Dario helped me out and he was great!! He explained the costs upfront and was very friendly throughout the process. He sent my smog check info right over to the DMV and gave me helpful tips about renewing registration at a kiosk. Thanks Dario!! read more

They were busy but this is probably one of the most reliable spots for smog in DTLA that's quick reliable and trustworthy.

In and out quickly and staff is very nice. Prices are excellent! I went there on my lunch break and everything went very well'

Went in and Dario was able to have me in and out in less than an an hour. Extremely friendly, and helpful. Economical and just all around nice environment and vibes from this shop. Thank You sooo much Dario read more

Everyone should come here! They are fast (in and out in 10 min), the guy is super friendly, and they've got good prices.

I was in and out in literally 15 minutes. Dario was super helpful and explained the pricing, process, and everything ahead of time so there were 0 surprises. This isn't a fancy place with a waiting room and coffee and all that, but they're fast and friendly and I appreciate that. The smog shop is the small entrance on the far left, so don't just pull into the parking lot waiting to be helped--the other garages are different businesses. read more

do your research first ! make sure you call few other places to make sure you get the price right. dude don't want to be there and over charge me 25$ . 100$ instead of 75$ at two others locations. read more

I went here right when it opened needing a smog check ASAP for my car registration. Dario was here to help me out. Great guy and a great service. I was in and out in 15 minutes. read more

Dario runs a great smog check business. I had just had my car serviced and didn't know that I should have told my mechanic I was due for a smog check this year. My smog check failed due to lack of data because of the service reset that was done on my car. Dario was kind enough to charge me a partial payment and told me to come back for another smog test once I had completed a "drive cycle" on my BMW. If you run into this issue, research how to perform a drive cycle for your vehicle, as it is specific to the make, model and year of your car. It's not just about putting miles on your car, so do your research. Once completed correctly, you should be able to pass a smog test. If you want a fair price and great customer service, go to DTLA Smog Check! Support this local business if you live downtown, or even if you live across town. I didn't need an appointment and Dario is a really nice business owner. read more

Fast, friendly and inexpensive! So glad I found DTLA smog check! Really cool hand painted signs too!

We were thrilled with the service at DTLA Smog. Dario was very fast, friendly, and efficient. In and out in less than 15 minutes, we were treated very well - especially during this COVID time. When we called to make an appointment, we were told to come in at a specific time, where to park, and when to bring the car up. Everyone wore masks! I recommend DTLA Smog Check very highly, and will take my other vehicle there next month. read more

Super friendly and quick and easy process. Will be going there next time I need a smog check.

Too easy. Much thanks to Dario for the quick, efficient service. No appt. and had me in and out in less than 15 min. Cool dude and appreciate the ease. See you next time, thanks again! Steve read more

Small 1 bay shop for regular and Star smogs, with free retests if needed. Very friendly and careful with your car. Dario was a pro at driving my manual transmission car with a heavy clutch without stalling, excellent! Only con is maybe the small lot it shares with other shop/s, so not much room to park. But it was Saturday during lunch time and I pulled in as another car just finished, so no wait! Just 2 chairs inside to wait, but smogs don't take much time if there is no waiting for other cars! read more

Shady work they do also upsell their neighbors to fix what's "wrong" with your car. Customer service is good either.

Friendly and great service! Took about 10 minutes total. $40 with the yelp discount too. Would recommend :)

What can I say about this place . It's amazing very professional and Dario takes care of you and gets you in and out so you can keep on going with your day . I heard about this place from my good friend Diego and ever since then this is the only place I take my cars when they need a smog check . This place has earn my business for life . I would recommend this place to anyone ask for Dario . read more

Dario is sooooo bomb! He was super helpful & got me in & out in 10 minutes! One of the best smog experiences I've had thus far, Thank you !!! read more

Good costumer service, fast, easy. They informed me of a coupon on Yelp and saved me $10 on my smog. Totally recommended

Dario is great! Called ahead of time, was in and out in 10 minutes - everything was very easy and quick. Would recommend!!

I needed a last minute smog check (major procrastinator), and I gave them a call and they told me to just come right then. I was able to pull up, get my smog check and leave within 15 minutes. Super convenient and quick. They were polite and even offered me water for the short time I was there. I'll definitely go back. read more
