I walked in on a weekday morning soon after it opened. The wait was not long for my car to get in with one person there before me. The test was fast, easy, and low priced! Not sure you can beat the friendliness either. read more

I been long customer of Ez smog who closed for good, got referred by him to low price test only smog. Am very satisfied, very honest, accurate test station, will advice you if any issues with vehicle. You will have your car running as it should specially with gas prices. If no issues test is fast and very affordable. Would recommend for sure. read more

Kind and quick smog check. It's a very little place in the Mobile gas station, so if someone is already getting their car checked you'll have to wait for them, but it's not a long wait. The owner has a nice little sitting area for you and is kind. He sent the paperwork to the DMV and I was able to register my car that same night. It came out to $49.95 for my smog in total. read more

Best Smog Station I have ever been to!! Seriously!! No one normally cares if they get your business! John did! He gave me a fair price(not the lowest), and GREAT SERVICE!! He was very friendly and very quick about it. He even gave me a free bottle of water! Who does that???!! Great Smog Station! :) John H. read more

5 Stars! John and Mario were amazing. Quick convenient service. No need for an appointment just stopped right in and got my smog taken care of. read more

Got my smog check here. Reasonable price. They have a little waiting section with magazines. The guy here is super nice and provide bottled water. I recommend this place read more

Was $40 for my Honda Civic, the attendant was finished very quickly, highly professional and friendly. I called twice, once to find out the price and another to see if the wait was long since I was in a hurry to get to work. Both times the same attendant answered and was super nice. During the smog check he gave me a cold bottle of water while waiting, even though the wait was not long at all. I'm glad I found this place! read more

There's nothing to write home about this place. Nothing that sticks out. I admit Phuc "John" was courteous and got me in/out of there quick. When I got there and asked the price, he said $50, which seemed high. Others here post that you get an out the door price of $40 (with smog cert & fees), which is misleading. Especially since there are several other smog test shops around. When I questioned him about the invoice (pic posted) he thought I was confused. By then he had already started working on my car so it was too late to take off. I won't be going back. A friend told me to go to Abel & Son's down the street, but it was too late. read more

Excellent fast service, I'll bring all my cars and recommend to all my friends, I had my 2003 Acura TL smog checked, the owner gave me a cold bottle of water, much appreciated read more

Went there this afternoon for a smog check. John was really professional, kind, quick, and efficient. While waiting there are a bunch of magazines available to read to help pass the time. During the wait he even offered a bottle of refreshing cold water. There was another car ahead of me but I was in and out within 30 minutes. I highly recommend this place! read more

Could not be worse. We were checked in and told to wait for our smog check. Waited 45 minutes for the car to be pulled in and then the mechanic closed the door. He said they closed 2.5 hours ago and he left. Why were we checked in?! Thanks for the waste of time. read more

No wait, called earlier and he quoted me. It was super quick and convenient! Very sweet customer service and overall a great experience. Highly recommended. Also super covid friendly and he gave me a water while waiting the short 10 minutes! read more

Great service. Fast, efficient, and super friendly. I'll definitely would come back again.

This place is really good. Mario was able to take me in on a Saturday (no appointment needed). He was very polite and even offered me a water bottle while I waited. The test only took 15 minutes! No time wasted at all. read more

Fantastic place to get your smog done. I looked a few places on yelp that had all 5 stars and when I called to inquire about pricing it was about $10 more than what I had read about, and an additional fee for the cert. I found Low Price Test Only and he gave me an out the door price for $40! I forgot the gentleman's name but he was very cool. He shook my had upon meeting, which i appreciate, and began working on my vehicle. We were out in about 10 minutes and I recommend him if you want a no-nonsense smog without fabricated fees to earn a quick buck read more

I must admit, I was a bit skeptical in going there, but after getting my car done, I don't think I'll take it anywhere else now. There was a bit of a wait as there were two cars ahead of me, but the guy was pretty fast; he told me it'd be about a 20 to 25 minute wait, and he was right on target with that assessment. He is very quick and efficient and the price was lower than I've paid in the past by $20. He is a very nice guy and even gave the three of us waiting ice cold water while we waited. Can't beat that! Will definitely be bringing my car back here for the next check! read more

I went to get my Audi smog checked on 05/18/21, my other visits at John's Low Price Test were in 2017 and 2019, both times Passed. Nothing has changed with my car, I am the original owner since 2003 and the car is completely stock, no modifications. So it was a surprise after waiting about 20 minutes, John asked if I had my other smog checks from him in my car, and I said No. He explained that although I passed the diagnostic (OBD) test, he would not pass the visual inspection! I asked him why and he said his STATE reference manual said I have 4 catalytic converters and he could only visually see the 2 from the top down through the top of the engine compartment. Firstly, I was under the impression vehicles only had 1 catalytic converter, but John was explaining that based on the label on my car, I had 2 plus 2 (4). I later found out from my mechanic that my car has 4, 2 pre-catalytic converters (the 2 that John showed me from the engine compartment) and another 2 downstream on the exhaust pipe (under the car). It is these 2 that John said he couldn't visually see under my car, that's why he wouldn't pass me. I then asked him to explain to me how it was that he passed me (even the visual) two times before. I told him I've been coming to him for about 6 years, which he said "I doubt it". He said its possible he made a mistake, but instead of trying to explain to me why or how I passed twice before, or the fact that he couldn't see the other 2 converters, he became extremely rude and temperamental towards me. I asked him why he was getting so belligerent and rude towards me, a return customer. He just completely went "off the reservation" and lost it, and got even angrier towards me. All this while I remained calm, trying to ask him the questions of how and why he passed my car the other two times. He explained he only goes by what the State manual says. I don't know what set him off, perhaps he doesn't like have to explain things to customers, or he needed a cigarette break. I was just completely stunned, an "owner" who was treating a customer this way. He was like Jekyll and Hyde compared to my other two visits. There was no excuse for this. He explained he wasn't going to Pass or Fail me, but I would need to go somewhere that had a lift so they can see under my car. I told him I would never return to his Test Station again, not because he couldn't see under my car, but because of his attitude towards a customer. You don't treat a customer in this way. Maybe he's never heard of the three P's for good customer service: Professionalism, Patience, and People-first attitude. He lost a good customer because of his temper tantrum, I have 2 cars, plus the recanting of my word of mouth recommendations to others. No excuse for this. The next day, I went to another Test Station in Fullerton, same price, and he didn't need a lift to see the converters under my car. The technician simply used an extension mirror and flashlight, and I PASSED. This place in Fullerton is where I will be going from now on. I think John was either just lazy that day and didn't want to scoot under my car, or like I said needed that cigarette. And by the way, all the reviews that say "He's great, he gave me a bottle of water", he gave me a bottle water too. That isn't great customer service, that's just a nice gesture. His level of customer interaction is very limited, seriously, he deals with vehicles, not customers, except to hand over your keys, fill out paperwork, and give you water. Even so, he should know better that customers drive his business. But I won't be one of those customers any more. read more

Found this place looking through reviews...lots of other places cost $40-$50+...this place is a no frills smog place on the side of the Chevron gas station...corner of imperial and valley view. This place you don't need a coupon or anything, flat $39.95 out the door and they send the certificate to DMV!!!! Guy is nice and took about 15 minutes. Also loved that they were open until 7 pm today (Friday)!!!! You can pay with a credit card, go inside the chevron to pay. Will definitely go back if I need another smog check! read more

My experience with this smog service was great - fast, efficient, affordable. I was in and out under 20 min. and only $50 for my older model car. The only reason I'm docking a star and also writing this review is to hopefully catch the attention of ownership: please do not allow your employees to smoke cigarettes while working on cars. I saw a technician with his head literally inside the open hood of a car with a cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth. Besides being unprofessional, this seems to contradict common sense, especially considering how many highly explosive and flammable materials are in the vicinity (the shop has a gas station attached.) Ensure the safety of your employees, business and customers! read more

My go to smog check place. Not only is he nice, but really respectful and fair price. Recommend coming here to get your car smog check and while you wait for your car to finish you can grab a snack or two at the gas station that's right next door. Win win! read more
