I get my car wash here and needed a smog so I thought I would try it. Very impressed. Fast. Great price and felt very comfortable. I have a 20 year old car and get nervous but nothing to worry here. Hard to find honest business these days read more

Overall, good service and completed everything...BUT I called ahead, asked about having time to do a smog check (lunch hour) he said sure thing, come on down, great! be there in 10mins. I get there and two cars ahead of me, both been there a bit...well ok, waited about 15mins (lunch hour) So completed smog check, passed, good! Payment, see the coupon here on Yelp? well guy says "that's the old coupon" shows me a plastic laminate on in hand, here's the new one...$5 bucks more..then proceeds to wave over the charges, smog check, cert, tax etc.. so end of story, it was total $55, i wasnt in mood to haggle over $10 bucks..but you think they'd honor whats on their site..yes/no.. read more

I come here every two years for a smog test. I use a coupon and service is great. I wait inside the office which is air conditioned while my car is getting checked out. The owner is great and friendly. Plenty of parking. read more

For the last 6 years, I've been getting my family's cars smog checked here. Just had my 2005 suburban checked today (it passed) and I wasn't there longer than 20 minutes and there was already a car getting checked when I arrived. The owner, Ken, is friendly, professional and he works quickly. I highly recommend Magnolia Test Only, and I won't receive a discount for writing this review. read more

Best price for smog in town. I was in and out in 20 minutes. Owner was super friendly and the waiting room was comfortable and air conditioned. Also, got my registration and stickers super quick. My go to spot! read more

Really friendly, fast and affordable. And it's right around the corner of where I live. I got a Smog Check and it passed and he was able to do all the paperwork it took for the DMV. Definitely use the coupon on his website. read more

Went Friday afternoon with no appointment. Was in and out in an hour. Friendly fast service. Had coupon off Google for $34.75. Came to $55 out the door. Very happy. read more

Ray did an excellent job! I will definitely go back there whenever I need a smog test done!

I had a 8:30a appointment for a Smog Check that was honored right away. Very friendly worker and he said it would be only 15-20 minutes. We walked to Starbucks and when we got back it was already done. He said if I wanted to pay about $25 more he was a licensed DMV station too and I can get my sticker then and there. That's good to know for the future I suppose, but I still have plenty of time to get my sticker so no need at the moment. I would definitely go back again for the speedy and friendly service I received. read more

I went to another place where I'd one for years and they told me they would honor a coupon price, even though it was older. I drive there and they changed their mind or something. I left disappointed. Then on a Sunday I called this shop and spoke with "Ken." He said he would honor a coupon I found on their website. I drove down there, on that same Sunday. He honored the coupon. Guys, it should not cost you $50 PLUS the certificate fee to get your car smogged. Ken will take care of you. Be kind. Everyone is trying to save and business owners like Ken get it and understand we're all in this together. No it won't be free but honesty and good work is worth it. I'll be going to this shop from now on. I even took a picture of Ken smiling but cannot find it now. Ken...if you're reading this, thank you for being human and doing good work. read more

I arrived and was quoted $65 for my 2009 RAV4 smog check only. I showed him the $34.75 coupon from these photos on Yelp and he said he could give me $5 off, so $60. When I picked it up he only charged me $50. I'm not sure how this happened but he was pleasant and I was thankful to have a better price. Four stars for price ambiguity. read more

Magnolia Test Only Station - Receipt with original estimate $65 - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Santee, California

Whaaaaat.. a 1 stop shop? Yes indeed!!! Oil change, smog, and REGISTRATION...All at the same spot! This was my 1st experience with this business as I came in with a coupon.

I am most appreciative to have found this place. Pleasant, Professional and quick. Yes...I will be back! He even put the sticker on my car! Thank you sir... read more

This is my second experience with this establishment and it went just as easy as the first. Less than 30 mins start to finish. Got in right away no appointment. The gentleman (Ken) was very nice to deal with and made this as easy as possible. I highly recommend this location in East San Diego County for how affordable and fast they are. Please go down and support this small business and you will be glad you did. They also have a car wash and auto fix in the same little area. Thank you Ken read more

Changes pricing based on arbitrary reasons, conveniently once you are already hooked up Dude got me for an extra $10 over their coupon Shady read more

Ken was amazing! I had my toddler with me and he got me in and out in less lan 15 minutes. What a lifesaver! Will recommend this place to everyone! read more

Chen was upfront and very honest with me. My car engine light was on so he said I wouldn't pass, so I fixed it, brought it back and it passed with ease. Very well priced too! read more

The easiest and fastest smog test! Was an amazing experience for me and happy to support this site every chance possible!

Quick and easy, great price, great service. I was in and out in less than 1/2 hour for an expired smog - sent directly to DMV with no hassle or upcharge. Honest people. There's a car wash and a trustworthy auto shop in the same center that are great as well. Calming kitty videos and AC in the waiting room. One convenient location for the wellness of your vehicle. read more

Same as others have said will jack up prices from the coupon for random reasons. Said my car is extra because it's a bmw coupon states only trucks,suv, and mini vans are extra. read more

Due to these reviews, the owner has a promotion on Google for the price of 29.99 plus 8 dlls for a certificate and 5 dlls extra for suv . Well, I have a crv 4 Cyl he wanted me to pay 55.00 plus tax. I showed him his promotion, and he did not honor the price ,but after going back and forth, I ended up paying 49.00 with a discount. He gives everyone a different price . So make sure you confirm the price before he does your smog read more

That time of the year came for my registration renewal and smog check, so I was on a search for shops near me on yelp and wanted to get a smog check for a good price, evading the whole $60~80 for a smog. I came in the morning, was the only one apparently and was in & out in 10 minutes. Had active coupons on Yelp so I only paid $30 for the smog check. Just the type of service and price you look for to get a smog check done. Thanks again! read more

Went yesterday, June 26, 2018 Missed tons of spots on my windows and the body. The rags left red pieces of lint all over. Was supposed to get an air freshener but the only smell i got was the stank of the smoker who sat inside my car while he cleaned the inside, which didn't get cleaned. He just sat there pretending to clean. Will not be returning. read more

SCAM.... STAY AWAY! So I have been coming here and I always opt for the total look package at $32 dollars. But they ALWAYS say that $40 will be better and they do more. (now keep in mind this service is NOT listed on the price board. So one day I bought it and I washed them do NOTHING and I mean NOTHING different than is what is included in the package that I already pay for. THANTS IS A SCAM!!!!! I am now reporting them to the California DA and I hope they get BUSTED for ripping people off! FUCK YOU DICKHEADS! read more

Person in charge was very nice, he checked my car and processed the smog procedure, passed. All good.
