Kwic Smog Center - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Fantastic experience with Eddie/Eddy, in and out in maybe 10 minutes. Made the call, headed over, super simple. Used to go to Vista Smog Center (one of the techs there, Lenny I think, sometimes quotes dishonestly). No more of that, this Kwic Smog was honest and affordable. Recommending Eddie to anyone in need of a check for a fast and honest job. read more

That 2 year smog check just has a way of sneaking up on you. Felt like I just completed it, but received the stop sign notice from DMV this year...thanks California. Of course I went back to Kwic Smog. It's a bit out of the way for me now, distance-wise, but I still make the trip due to the consistent service. 2 years later, it's still the same quality. I was able to call and come in on the same day, smog was "kwic", and I was on my way. read more

Kwic Smog Center - Great COVID signage and precautions in place - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

The station is very attentive and efficient when it comes to smog checks very professional, Eddie you run a great shop and a great value

Eddie was quick and able to give me an appt. on short notice. I had used his service 4 years ago and remembered where he was located and that he still gets good reviews. In and out within 30 minutes and the price was the best around. Results were sent directly to the DMV electronically with copy for my files. I would definitely recommend Eddie of Kwic Smog behind the Shell station. You won't be sorry. Tina F. read more

I'm such a procrastinator and left my smog check for the last minute. I found Kwic Smog Center and I'm glad I did. Eddy was quick and pleasant. I got there just a bit before he was expecting another customer to arrive and he got my smog check done and I was out the door. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be back next time I need my car smogged! read more

Was quick AND inexpensive! Eddie was very efficient and friendly...recommended! Difficult to find, however! It's behind the Shell station!

Just called to get a same day appointment and I was able to be seen in about an hour. The price was much lower than the other smog testing in the area. About 15 minutes or so. They also sent the information to dmv electronically. Just moved so this was great to find this shop behind the shell gas station. read more

I made an appointment last week. Price was great, technician was nice, service was done in under 15m. Will be back!

Eddie is da man! Thank you He is now my official go to smog guy. The other smog place I used to go to, gave me a $2500 estimate to get my truck back on the road after paying $150 for a misdiagnosis. No thank you. Found Eddie with a neighbors referral. Down to earth guy and went the extra step to help with another issue. Is a little tricky to find the first time, literally on the backside of the shell station building. More of an alley access to his place and no thrills, but worth it. read more

Eddie is great! Wealth of knowledge, trustworthy and works quickly. I get all my cars smog here

They guys nice communicative and efficient. Everything I would expect but not necessarily get from smog service. Cost was in line and quick. What more could I want read more

Beware!! This place at 2590 El Camino Real in Carlsbad does NOT honor coupons, and the owner will argue with you about the rises in cost of living, etc....He must be hurting financially.. read more

Did smog check with Eddie. He has been amazing every single time in terms of service, best price and value and customer relationship. Highly recommend. read more

Nothing fancy here, but good friendly service, a great price, and in and out fairly quickly. I have a nice car, and I feel he treats it with care and respect. Call ahead, check the wait and make an appointment. Been a few times in a row and will come again. Located behind/in the gas station near Carlsbad mall. read more

They are very fast and reasonably priced. Star certified stations are becoming difficult to find. There were 2 cars in front of me but wait was minimal. I definitely will come back in 2 yrs. read more

Called same day for an appointment. Quick, great price, professional. Walked out a Happy customer :)

Quick, friendly efficient. Make an appointment so you don't have to wait. Drive around the back.

Fantastic service, Eddie was super nice and had the smog done in no time. I will be bringing my car back!

I stopped by for a smog check yesterday, and they had me in and out in about 10 minutes. The man was very professional, and the price is the best in the area. Highly recommend if you need a fast and easy smog check. I will be bringing any future smog checks here. read more

Super fast. Super friendly. Super reasonable. Super! I will keep coming back here. They have the best prices and fastest service in the area. read more

Wonderful service and value! Lovely man that ran this place. It was my first emissions test in California and he eased my anxiety about the process. I will definitely be going back here if I need an emissions test again! read more

I sat on a chair in the warm breeze as I waited patiently while my car got smogged. It took no more than 15 minutes or less. The gentleman was very cordial. His shop is attached to the Shell gas station so I entered from the back. I used a coupon from the website yeah:) and he offered to sent my results to DMV since that's all I needed to do. Bonus! read more

Kwic Smog Center - Me waiting for my car as it was getting my car sniffed. - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Was a bit of of my way, but came in due to the glowing reviews about the best price. Nice guy, and was in and out in 15 minutes. Total 73.25. Got charged $60 for the smog. Make sure you find out the price first. read more

Smog check was so easy here. Fast, fast service. Very reasonable price for service rendered. Very nice gentleman who did the service.

I almost want to be selfish and not tell anyone about this great little place. My family and I have been going here for many years. Eddie is amazingly nice, does all he can for you to pass your smog and for my 2000 Navigator, he was priced perfectly as always. I say skip any old coupons and give him all he's worth. It's a small owner run shop. Help support him! Just pull into the back of Shell, stop your car and peek in to look for Eddie in there somewhere. :-) It's a tiny little garage space there and just right being able to pull up, drop off the car, go grab some things at Vons and usually 15-20min later the vehicle is done. Perfect. :-) read more

This place is great. Prices are reasonable, great service, very fast appointment scheduling and availability, the technician was very polite and efficient, and he gave me a $15 military discount for my son serving in the Marines. This will be our go-to place moving forward. read more

I was the guy in line at this smog shop in front of Jacob, I got to see the exchange first hand about the kilometer issue with his car and eventually he stormed off. Anyways it a shop to get you out in 15 minutes. Was a bummer to hear Jacob used his position as a nurse at the local hospital as leverage to try and get his way, can you say professional ethics? Anyways had to write a review after getting a front row seat to a smog shop drama. read more

Kwic Smog Center - Smog shop rules and regs - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Carlsbad, California

My husband and I took his truck in to get a smog check this morning and it was very quick. We didn't have an appointment but were the only customers there at the time, so it took no longer than 10 minutes tops for the whole visit. Eddie is efficient, helpful, and competent. There's also a great coupon on their website we were able to use so it was a nice bonus! Will definitely continue to get our smog checks here. read more

Great Service, Great Man! Was in and out very quickly and was great value as well. A bit hard to find behind the gas station but well worth it. read more

Good, fast service for smog check. Technician was very helpful and friendly .The shop is well stocked with parts.

Fast, friendly, efficient. I always take my car to this smog center, as does my husband. We usually don't make an appointment but we rarely wait long - we're often in and out in 15-20 minutes. No fuss, fair price, and friendly service (even when I couldn't locate my renewal paperwork - oops). I always dread the 'smog certificate required' notice b/c it's just one more thing on my very long to-do list, but this shop makes it as hassle-free as possible. read more

I went to this place as recommended by one of the Firestone staff. Ed, who completed the Smog check for my 2008 Honda Civic, was fast. I did NOT have an appointment! After pulling up for inspection, he completed the check within 10 minutes. Overall, I was in his shop for no more than 15 minutes without an appointment schedule! They are FAST and their prices are cheap in comparison to others! I strongly recommend anyone that needs a smog check to see Ed and his team. read more

Quick and reliable service! The owner is very nice and gets the smog done quickly. :) Been to him twice now and hasn't disappointed.

They are a little hard to find because they are behind the gas station. However, they are professional, quick friendly, and I highly recommend. I was in and out very quickly. read more

I have been taking my cars here for years (8) and I've never had a problem. If you don't have any modified parts like after market exhaust systems or air intakes that are not CA certified then you will have a pleasant experience here and it will be fast and a fair price. read more

Always great service, reliable & friendly! Be sure to make a reservation and you will go to the front of the line!

We've been going to Kwic Smog for years. He's polite, professional and funny. If we have had an issue he lets us know what to do. Highly recommend Kwic Smog, you can't go wrong. He's located behind the shell station in the same building. read more

Made it happen same day, fast service and great price. Will definitely go back when needed.
