Located right next to Charley's Famous Hamburgers on the part of Broadway that has substantially less traffic, this smog test station is far less busy than the ones down the street. It was my first time getting a smog test. The guy working (I didn't catch his name) was happy to help me and didn't make my presence feel like nuisance at all, unlike other car shops I've been to. He made the process super quick and easy. It took about 10 minutes and I was out the door! read more

This place is excellent. Clean, and the owner is courteous and professional. I've been coming here for years to get my cars smog and even to have my air conditioning serviced. His prices are reasonable and like I said, he is friendly and professional. Save yourself the trouble of going all over town looking for an honest smog place. This is it! read more

Fast and efficient! Didn't pass the first time because we had just replaced the battery but we were told what we needed to do and we would receive a reduced rate if we came back within a month. We did and it passed without a problem! read more

Super quick and they were very friendly. Passed my smog and gave me great recommendations for fixes to my vehicle. Since they don't do the repairs there's nothing in it for them to tell me what to fix. Just a bonus service! Will be back. read more

Quick, friendly service at a fair price. Never had to wait in all of the years I've been coming here. Thanks Duy!

I've been coming here for years. Good honest fast service. Never had any problems here. I recommend this place.

As a 21yr old girl I'm always a little nervous to get car stuff done, but this place was recommended by my dad (which I think says a lot!) and I had a great experience. The guy running smogs was super nice and even notified me about some smog-unrelated issues I didn't know about. Plus there was a cute dog there too!! read more

They were super friendly, quick, and at great price! I would definitely recommend them for a smog check.

Car was in the shop. 2 times smog repair with the dealer. 2 days outside of 30 days. They wanted full price not the 10 dollar retest. Showed receipts Covid 19 these guys no love stay away read more

Had to get a smog for the second time in a year due to the dmv runaround. Both times the gentleman was kind and personable. Smog check was quick and easy. I will be taking my car there for smog every time! read more

Not recommend. Came here for a smog check, nobody in the shop, a guy from a repair shop told me ring the bell. After 4-5 times rang the bell, the same guy in the repair shop came in and did the paperwork. The car failed first time then I realized the gas cap was loose, I asked him could I have a second test for free because some other smog check they offer it,but he said no. I agreed paying for he checked it second time, he kept asking me did I do something with the car with bad attitude. That was a very bad experience. One more thing the price here is higher than the other places. read more

Great experience! Drove over with no appointment and was helped right away. The test was done quick and easy. Great customer service and price. Will definitely return for future smog tests! read more

No waiting and Smog cost is $10 less than everyone I called. Open early seating inside and outside. Only took 15 minutes. I didn't schedule appointment just drove up gave my registration paperwork. Very nice pleasant and respectful. read more

Car registration due next week and I totally forgot I needed a smog cert this year! I called ahead on Monday morning and a gentleman answered right away. Gave me a quote over the phone so I drove down. Was seen right away and I passed! Electronic certs paid my 49.99 and I was on my way! I wasn't having a great day so I Thank you for making things fast and easy for me. Will refer friends and fam!! Thank you! read more

Wow! So, in moving from out of state as a military family, we've had to run the gamut on trying to get our cars registered. Really glad my husband and I went here. The owners are super friendly, very knowledgeable, and aren't trying to screw anyone over. It's not a smog check like I'm used to in Colorado, but I felt totally at ease. My car is a 2017, but in order to get it CA registered I still needed a smog. My husband's car had an illegal (via CA) air intake in it, and had to fix it. A few days later he went in again and got it retested and passed. Definitely suggest them! In and out within 20 minutes. Good people. read more

I needed my smog test done and I went to Lemon Grove Test Only at 8181 Broadway in Lemon Grove. A few minutes wait and my car was taken in. Fifteen minutes later I was done and on my way! read more

I had a really great experience here!! I was nervous trying to find someone open during the COVID pandemic and was very excited to hear they were open. Then I was hesitant about whether I had to worry about how they were doing as far as preventing the spread of the virus. I was happy to see that they were practicing safe distancing and such. Turned out I had nothing to worry about. I felt safe and I felt they were not one of those shady car places that would try to up sell me. Everything was superb! Highly recommend them! read more

Been taking my cars to get the smog done here for the past 2 years or so. Very good customer service and gets the job done quick. I had to get my truck done this past May during this whole pandemic, I was worried they'd be closed but fortunately their open. They're taking all the protocols during this time. Highly suggest taking your vehicle here. read more

Easy peasy! Great service, nice clean shop and reasonable price. What more can you ask for?

Drove in without appointment on a holiday Monday and was taken right in and car examined. Very courteous gentleman took care of me and had me on my way in 20 minutes. read more

I live in lemon grove and needed to get a smog check. I was in and out in 15 minutes. The guy was friendly enough for our 30 second transaction. Most importantly in and out in 15 MINUTES, what more could you want. read more

I have been going to see Duy since he opened. 18 years ago, I went to a gas station to get a smog test, in La Mesa on the corner of Baltimore Dr and Parkway Dr and that station tried to milk me for hundreds of dollars in repairs on a completely stock car (no modifications) with only 38,000 miles on it. I went to Lemon Grove Test Only and Duy tested it within 20 minutes, no problems, vehicle passed. So, for the last 18 years I have brought all my vehicles for Duy to test. I was there 2 weeks ago; I believe it took Duy less than 15 minutes to complete the test, and I was on my way. Duy is friendly and knowledgeable, and is very careful with my cars. read more

quick service, no hidden gimmicks, exactly what you need. they can also refer you to a mechanic if your car happens to fail. I'll be using them every anytime I need a smog check and will refer my friends to them. read more

I've been going to Lemon Grove Smog Test Only for years. The service is super fast and the mechanic is super friendly. Takes only 15 minutes to get the smog test done. In and out like nothing, and I even had another customer ahead of me. Reasonable prices for my older truck and newer car. It's a really good place and I'll keep bringing all my vehicles here in the future. Highly recommended. read more

Mike is a great guy and the mechanic they took care of my car I really appreciate the work and thanks for smogging my car.

Really straight forward and easy experience with these guys. Needed a smog done mid-day on a Saturday and other places had an hour wait or longer. These guys had me in and out in 10 minutes with no appointment. $49.99 for the test and DMV certification electronic submission. Service was solid. The guys were very friendly and tended to me as soon I got there. Definitely coming back. Another review is saying the Asian man gave him really bad customer service... the Asian guy that helped me was super friendly and helpful. Not sure how one could complain. read more

I was in and out in 15 mins on a Saturday morning. Easy breezy! Highly recommended if you are looking for a clean shop in Lemon Grove.

Fast, professional and chill. :) checked in and out in less than half an hour-this is my new go to for smog

Went in for a smog test and had very quick and easy service. 5 stars. One of the best prices available in Lemon Grove.

I was in and out in 20 minutes with no appointment. Incredibly fast and professional. There is a reason why they have such high ratings. My new spot for smog test. read more

Don't let the rough exterior detour you from driving in. Duy and his crew are the epitome of what customer service is. Your welcomed with a smile and 'welcome,' followed by a 'how can we help you.' I randomly stumbled upon this place when my car's registration was due and have returned specifically for the service and price. Your in and out in less than 30mins which for a busy professional, it's right up my alley. Highly recommend. read more

Rip off the guy knew it was gonna fail and he tested anyway just to charge me for it he said he got a tunnel vision that's why he couldn't see the intake No wonder he didn't have any other customers read more

I've been going to this place for years. Great quality service. These guys know what they're doing and plus there's a 10% discount if you check in for a smog. They also do other services here for foreign and domestic cars. This place will continue to be my choice to smog my car. read more

If you live in Lemon Grove or Le Mesa, this is the best smog place I have used. Not terribly busy, so you are in and out VERY quickly. Mine took 10-15 minutes max. No appointment needed. Friendly service, and probably less than what I may have paid before. Definitely recommended! read more

$48 and 10 minutes. I was in and out super fast, no appointment, and everything has been transmitted to DMV.

This place is great! No wait time & the test takes no time at all either. The prices are great and the 10% off coupon is pretty nice too.

Just got our smog check done here. They were fast and quick. I really enjoyed the service. In and out in 20 minutes and very helpful.

They didn't have the decency to check if my "check engine" light was on, and just went through with the smog check just to waste my time and money to fail me.... " automatic fail if it's on" Even though I looked at the error code myself and it was just a bad sensor I forgot to clear.... read more

If you have to get your smog test highly recommend coming here. Fast and friendly service with no appointment needed for just one car. You really can't ask for more than that. I found this gem 2 years ago and glad I did. Moving to Santee in a month but I'll be coming back here when I need another smog read more

The smog check process was quick and easy. The price was also reasonable. I would definitely return.
