I am a long time customer, like I know the past owner and we swapped family stories. I recently took my car to J & B Smog Check in Lakewood for its first inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I pulled up, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional--greeted me nd explained the process clearly without any upsell pressure. The wait was super short (under 30 minutes), and he even offered. My vehicle passed with flying colors, and the price was fair and transparent--no hidden fees. These guys know their stuff and make what could be a hassle into a breeze. Highly recommend J & B for anyone needing a smog check. read more

Quick, direct and close by. I would definitely come back for additional SMOG checks in the future.

I have been there before and passed smog, i never changed anything for the 8 years, Smog guy failed me for Visual inspection. Not going back to this place again. read more

I'm very satisfied the service I received. I came in without an appointment only waited about 10 minutes to get my car into the shop. The service man was very cordial and thorough. The price was reasonable I thought. My car passed the smog test. I was on my way in no time. Thank you thank you. read more

Writing this review mainly for the worker named Gabriel! Really great guy, provided great service, needed a last minute smog check for my Mazda 3 and he got me and in out in less than 20 minutes! Sucks he was only covering as he said he is originally from South Gate location! But if you go and he's there, guaranteed a good service. Thanks again Gabriel! read more

J & B Smog Conveniently located in the small plaza between different auto shops. The process is actually simple and fast. The technician is friendly and funny. You can ask for discount if you pay cash. A little secret I've found out. Every 2 years we need to have the smog test based on the requirement of the law. And there are many different places that you can do so and the prices are also different. This is one of the cheapest I have found. In other places, you end up paying somewhere around $70 and here I pay $55. A little saving for the gas, not bad. It is usually not busy because the process is quite fast. Bring your document and it can be done within 10 minutes or so. Recommended. Even though the office does to look fancy, but you don't stay too long anyways. read more

This is my go to place smog. Always come in here for all my cars. Recommend this place for anyone who needs a smog. Great place.

After a decidely unkosher smog test experience at Purrfect Auto Service in Artesia, where they said I failed the visual inspection & needed a new exhaust manifold, transmission, O2 sensor, yadda yadda yadda - I looked for a new STAR station to have a smog test done for my truck. Mom recommended I go here, so J & B it is! With a small parking lot shared by several businesses, J & B is a quaint, STAR test-only station. With only 1 customer ahead of me & being a walk-in, I watched a little bit of the World Cup (Mexico vs. Cameroon) before my vehicle would be serviced. After about a 10-15 min wait from the previous customer to my truck being completed, my truck passed & my paperwork sent to the DMV. $60 for the test, which isn't the cheapest, but I was highly satisfied with the results & speed of service. Mr. Kim prefers cash or check over debit/credit, so try to oblige him and he'll get you going in no time. J & B Smog, you now have a loyal customer! My previous smog experience left a sour taste in my mouth and you happened to sprinkle a little sugar on my tastebuds. Gamsahabnida, Mr. Kim! Highly recommend for your smog needs! read more
