New vehicle, a few years later but same great service. This guy makes smog checks as bout as tolerable as they can be. See you on the next one bro. Thank you.

Amir C.

Fast and easy. This was extremely expedient service with a smile. In an out before you know it!

This is a great spot for doing all smog tests. I called in the morning to schedule an appointment at 4:20. I came in at 4:10 and was out by about 4:30. They are quick and efficient and the price is very affordable. They have a Yelp coupon as well. You just need to mention it. The waiting area is nice, some seats, a tv with a remote so you can control what you are watching. Parking is very easy too, make sure you follow the signs and park in the front where their front desk is at. I'll be bringing all my cars for smog there. Great spot!

Drive through the auto sales lot to the back. Hop out and go sit in the shade, Smog check done, cert provided, im out of here. Thanks Andy!

Daniel E.

Quote was the best I'd received. Comfy, shaded area to sit. No reason to go anywhere else. Seriously...it was easy as 1, 2, 3.

Josh L.

Friendly, fast, quality service at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Definitely the spot to come for your smog check with zero hassle.

Quick and easy! Took me right at closing time as well. Highly recommend!

Short wait and very responsive to inquiries. Will recommend to friends and family from here on out!

Great local smog shop. A the owner is excellent, super helpful, super friendly, and makes sure to help and explain to you what's going on/needed. He provides great value for the cost and goes above and beyond to help get you what you need! I've been taking my cars in here for smog checks for a couple years now and I have never had any complaints. If you're around looking for a good smog check place, don't hesitate to stop by HB Smog for a great service experience! read more

Just mention you saw the coupon on Yelp or online. No appointment is needed, which made it even more convenient. I stopped by on a weekday around 9:00 AM, and there was no line. I was greeted right away by Angel, who made the entire process easy. He gave clear instructions from start to finish and kept everything moving smoothly. There are two waiting areas: an indoor lounge with a couch and a small beverage station and a covered outdoor seating area. I was excited to see one of my favorite sodas, Mountain Dew Baja Blast, in the fridge! They also have a Keurig for coffee, which would be nice in the morning, although the coffee station looked a little dusty, so I decided to skip it. They definitely lived up to their promise. I was in and out in about 15 minutes, my MDX passed, and Angel explained that my smog certificate would be electronically sent to Sacramento within about 30 minutes. Woo hoo! As a nice bonus, if you pass, they give you a free car wash card at H2Go, which was a pleasant surprise. The shop can service two cars at a time, and everything was clean, organized, and efficient. Great customer service, great value, and a hassle-free experience. I'll definitely be back the next time my smog check is due. See you next year!

I walk in, there's a woman casually washing dishes in a sink like it's Sunday at grandma's, and Chu Hai silently extends his hand like a smog-check Master. No paperwork. No chit-chat. Chu Hai barely uttered 5 complete sentences to me the entire time. There were a couple other cars in the stalls, but somehow they got mine in right away. I plopped down in a mismatched patio chair (10/10 ambiance) and before I could even deep dive into my IG, Chu Hai reappeared like a smog God with my paperwork in hand and said it was all sent to the DMV. That's it. Done. $50 later and I'm street legal again. No fuss, no frills, just straight-up magic. If I ever need another smog check--or a life coach--I'm coming back to Chu Hai. Zero Fuss.

They were professional, honest, and took the time to clearly explain the issue and what needed to be done. The work was completed efficiently, It's hard to find a shop that combines quality workmanship with great customer service, but they really delivered on both. I truly appreciate the care and attention they put into my vehicle. I would absolutely recommend them and will be returning for any future repairs.

Just got off the phone asking for a quote on a couple of items I thought I needed for my recently…read morepurchased used Sienna - oil change and transmission service. The gentleman on the phone said the transmission fluid is for life unless I'm towing or carrying heavy loads. When I questioned why I see that it's recommended online he says that dealers will recommend this service all day but if you check the Toyota maintenance manual it says you don't need it. Man! I haven't even been to this shop yet and I'm already getting a good feeling about this place. It's a bit more expensive for an oil change than other places that have quoted me, but I like that they use factory parts including Toyota oil filters. I'll update this review once I get the car in for my first visit. Stay tuned.... 6/29/26 - Brought my Sienna in for an oil change + complimentary 30-point inspection (since it was my first time there). Jared took the van for a spin, brought it back and lifted it up. They found a little oil seepage coming out of the transfer case. 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. I was in and out in almost exactly an hour just as Robert promised. Thanks The Toy Shop team!! Pro Tip: they are booked out at least a week in advanced so make your appointment ASAP!

My 2nd appointment here !…read more I was having car issue that other mechanics couldn't figure out, I show up without an appointment and was greeted by a warm service. I thought my starter was going bad, but upon their inspections, a cleaning on the battery terminals was recommended and that resolve my issue. I told them I needed to go a smog & they had it in house service. In less than an hour, I was already back on the road home. Thank you for your services ! I will return again for my future car needs

Quick, easy and the owner Hank was very friendly and easy going. I recommend 100%! I was searching for a smog check facility in the area last minute on a Saturday. If you're coming to get a smog check look for the HB Small banner that is yellow on a big white light on the right hand side just after quality inn and turn right and go straight to the back parking lot where he is located. read more
