    This guy Sarkis ! He knows his stuff very reliable and knowledgeable. He is a one stop shop for Smog and Brake and Lights . I recently bought a 4Runner off an online auto auction and it came with a ton of Inspection requirements. And Sarkis made the process worth it! Thanks a lot man ! Will be coming back for sure and sending you everyone I know to you !

    Getting a smog check
    Tammy S.

    Super fast and friendly service. Called in advance and was told over the phone they were not currently busy so I arrived within about 10 minutes and Farkis took me in straight away. Filled out some paperwork and a few minutes later I was told the test was done and all was good. The paperwork I provided along with receipt and certificate was provided back to me and money exchanged and I was on my way. I was told certificate would be provided to DMV electronically and I would receive my tags in the mail in a few weeks (since fees were paid to DMV in advance). Definitely recommend this place for all who are in need of a smog check.

    I had to get a smog done on my 2019 Mustang GT PP2 so I found this JEM of a place. The owner,Saco, was super polite, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He is completely up to date on all rules and regulations and goes above and beyond to make sure you are a satisfied customer. I don't normally do yelp reviews but my experience here was one in a million. THANK YOU EL SMOG!!

    Both of my visits to El Smog have been beyond exceptional. Quick, was out within half hour. Very professional, clean shop and good price. I definitely recommend El Smog and will continue to be a customer. A+

    Comfty and water station.

    Super nice and friendly. I really like how quick and easy it was... AND they have a nice, clean little nook to wait while they perform the Smog Check.

    See all

    UPDATE in response to the owners reply!…read more When my vehicle was first diagnosed, I was presented with two options: replacing the cylinder head or replacing the engine. The cylinder head repair was described as the more economically reasonable option at the time, and I relied on that professional assessment in making my decision. The repair took over one month to complete, and the cylinder head was sent to an external machine shop. Although outsourced, the repair was coordinated, billed, and released under his shop's responsibility. I proceeded with this shop because I needed reliable transportation for work and was informed the repair would take approximately a month. The availability of a loaner vehicle allowed me to continue working during that extended repair period, which was a significant factor given the timeline. After the vehicle was returned to me, it broke down on the freeway. I was then informed that the cylinder head could not be reprocessed and that the only remaining option was to purchase a replacement engine. At that stage, I no longer had a functioning vehicle, so this was not an elective decision but the only viable remedy presented. Before purchasing the replacement engine, I consulted with (David the owner) regarding where to source it and whether I should proceed. I relied on his confirmation before moving forward. While labor was not charged for the engine installation, no warranty was provided on that work. Regardless of warranty terms, the obligation to disclose safety related defects prior to releasing a vehicle remains. In his comment, he states that engine mount replacement was recommended. I was not provided with any written estimate, documentation, or verbal recommendation to replace the engine mounts prior to installation or before the vehicle was released. The condition of the mounts was identified only after I obtained an independent inspection due to ongoing noise concerns. That inspection revealed multiple broken engine mounts and a severely worn transmission mount. If mount replacement had been clearly recommended before release, it would have been documented and addressed at that time. My concern has consistently been transparency, communication, and the release of a vehicle with undisclosed safety related defects. This response reflects my experience and the events as they occurred.

I've dropped off the car right when they open at 8am, and received a text saying that my vehicle was ready for pick up at 12pm. Over fast and efficient work. David even showed me the location of where the crack was on the old radiator. Overall very satisfied with the work. I tend to get anxious leaving my car with someone else to work on it due to how much work I put into getting the vehicle. But with David he made me feel like he also understands the value of what good work should be and how to do things the right way. I will be bringing my business back here for any future projects/issues.

    Francisco and company came to do a "repair" on one of my work vans. The van was having an issue…read moreturning over, and after charging me $55 for an inspection (I was notified of the fee AFTER the inspection), Francisco and his worker determined that I needed a new starter. The problem is after paying $500 for a new starter, my van still wouldn't start. After hours of trial and error, the mechanic decided to clean my battery terminals. Once finished, the mechanic determined it was a dirty terminal/battery issue, and not the starter. I could have cleaned the battery terminals for free. I could have bought a new kit for the terminals for $20 on Amazon. Instead, I'm out $500 for a starter I didn't need. I tried looking for a solution with Francisco. I tried to be understanding as I am a business owner as well, and I know mistakes happen. However, Francisco only offered me my $55 inspection fee back. At first, I was insulted. I could have a asked for a complete refund. But then I thought to myself, I'll just take the $55 and be done with this problem. We are going on 4 days, I have been left on read multiple times, and am still waiting on the $55. I tried to be nice but instead feel taken advantage of. I know how costly these reviews are to businesses, I hope it was all worth your $55.

Asked him how much for the diagnostic and he said don't worry about it. Instead of milking me for an obvious expensive job, not only did he let me go but he didn't charge me for diagnostic. A few months ago I brought a very old car with known issues. 97 Camry. I've had several mechanics look at it and they couldn't do much despite me paying them. Since this guy gave me a good deal last time decided to take it to him. After inspecting he said it'll be a major repair. Which I already knew from other mechanics. He said that it had a lot of problems and it's not worth repairing. He said that to give up on it cause if I take it to other mechanics, they'll just start repairing piece by piece and it'll add up. Which is what happened. TLDR. If you want an honest mechanic who won't take advantage, this guy is it.
