Friendly, polite service and comfortable waiting room. My old 1998 Camry passed the smog! Recommend this shop.

These guys are so legit! Been coming here for at least 6 years (every 2 years) to get my 2011 smogged. I've been lucky and always walked in never waiting once. 60 bucks, 15 mins boom done! Will always give them my biz as long as I need a smog. read more

Take your vehicle here. Probably the best smog experience I've ever had. He was friendly, quick, and organized. read more

Great experience, in and out quickly! Very happy with the service, will come back. Highly recommended!

Tommy had me in and out in record time!! Would definitely recommend OB Smog! Roland got right back to me on the cost- competitive!!

Just moved to the area and so happy I found ob smog. Thomas is excellent. Very efficient and quick. Appreciate the great service and being in and out in less than 20 min, all at a great price. thank you! read more

Smog check was requested. The service was performed professionally and without delay. The paperwork was completed and sent directly to the DMV. Quick and easy. It's reasonably priced as well. read more

In and out within 25 minutes. Appreciated the followup thru Yelp. Fair & honest pricing. I will be back again, thank you!

I called and asked if I needed an appointment, the man on the phone said "no just come on by". So I drive down, and once he was down doing some minor yard upkeep, we got down to filling out the forms, and told me he would be done in 15-20 minutes. We wanted to grab lunch so I asked if it would be okay to come back in about an hour or so, he responded with "we close at five, come back before then". So great! It was only $55, super easy, quick, and accommodating! Come here for your smog! read more

I have being using OB Smog Test Only for my biannual smog test requirement since they opened over 15 years ago. It's owned and run by one guy, who is friendly, fast, and efficient. You don't need an appointment, just show up, and he'll fit you in... the longest wait I had was 2 people in front of me, about 30 minutes. You'll receive a little discount if you pay with cash. He electronically submits the results to the DMV, so no additional effort on your part. My truck failed its test one year, and he retested for free after I got my truck repaired. Highly recommended! read more

OB Smog Check provided state testing quickly and at a fair price. There was one person ahead of me the day I went, but total time was about 30 minutes. Quong was super friendly and provided a thorough inspection of my vehicle. What started out as an annoyance (I just had a smog check in VA the month prior and had to have it done for CA titling) turned out to be a pleasant experience. I used the coupon from their website and saved $5. Calling around the area the cost was not only more than OB Smog Check, but the wait was longer and some of the spots had some less than stellar reviews. I would not hesitate to return and will use them for all future CA DMV needs. Fun fact: they are locally owned and operated and you will be supporting a business that has been in the neighborhood for over 20 years! read more

We happen to have three old cars and got very nervous whenever we need to run smog tests for one of them. Once our old Volvo failed the test and had to re-run many times. That time, we ran into this store and got free check for the second time. Finally, it passed the test and the result was sent to DMV directly. I came home and paid the renewal registration fee online. I don't have to go DMV or AAA store for it. Mr. Pham has been so nice with us and we wish his health and business strong for a long time. My husband is a bigger fan than I am. Just call the store first on Sunday though Google says it is open. Well, the store was not open Sunday and Google said otherwise. It is not Mr. Pham's fault. Otherwise, we have nothing to complain but wish his wellness. read more

Pulled up on a Wednesday afternoon and asked James if I need an appointment or if they take walk-ins. They took me right away and I was in an out in about 15 minutes. James was so sweet! Thank you James :) read more

Great customer service. Quick and efficient service with a great attitude. My go to place for smog checks.

Great customer service, fast and reliable. Look no further just get it done, walk over to Roberto's and get a meal while you wait 15-20 minutes. read more

Thomas was fantastic! I called the shop at 4:45 pm (they close at 5pm) he said no problem come on down! I arrived at 4:58 and was greeted with a smile by Thomas and he had me in and out of there by 5:15 pm. Best part is the smog was only $55 - probably the best price in town! I'll definitely use OB smog for all my needs and recommend them to all my friends/family. read more

He knows what he is doing and does it quick. Great service, fair prices and great customer service.

Super fast and courteous! I sat in their waiting area for what felt like only 10 minutes. Everything was done and sent to the dmv with a quick scan. I got my papers in the mail shortly after! Perfect for something -Affordable -Fast -With great customer service I'll be back for the next time! read more

I have taken my truck here in the past and passed quickly, was great. Recently though, I came here to get another smog check and because I just changed the battery in the truck I failed, I came back about 100 miles later but still failed because of the battery. Both times they did not charge me or give me any hassles. I eventually passed, but I am happy they are honest folks who do a great job. Thanks. - nick read more

Another great experience at OB Smog! I arrived about 15 minutes before closing and he still took care of me, even though he was helping someone ahead of me. I just had to wait about 15 minutes until it was my turn. So I was in and out in about a half hour. The owner (I assume he's the owner because he's always there) is very nice and professional. He submitted my test online so I can complete my registration renewal online, easy peasy! They also have the COVID situation all figured out. He was very clear in his instructions and I felt totally safe while there. read more

Great service! I didn't have to wait at all, he was really nice. I will do my smogs here from now on, easy, fast and convenient! Thank you!

Fast, helpful and friendly service. I was very impressed that the gentleman helping the next customer told her that her check engine light will fail her SMOG test. He gave her recommendations on how to fix the situation, and saved her the $55 test fee. I told him that was really nice what he did. He said it's hard bc they want the customer too- I told him she'll be back and so will I. These men have integrity. read more

Happy to bring our car here every 2 years for the required smog check. Excellent, warm customer service, priced right. Highly recommended!

Quick, professional, and extremely helpful! Good pricing. Answered all my questions and gave me good recommendations. Not a repair shop, so no sales pitch. I'll continue to come here. Great crew! read more

This price of $50 is a money killer and my own car is only 12 years old and like they say you should shop around to get a lower price for smog tests,i'd never come here at all. Sorry! read more

This is my first time receiving a smog check from OB Smog Check, and I was very pleased by the owner's efficiency. When I arrived without an appointment, there was one vehicle ahead of me being smogged, but the owner took care of us both simultaneously, multitasking when the other vehicle was undergoing some independent process and prepping my car in the meantime. I tried calling twice in advance to avoid this type of overlap, and there was no answer. However, I am glad I went anyway because the owner was very nice and worked quickly to ensure myself and the other customer were taken care of in a timely manner. read more

I was able to stop by on a Saturday morning and get my smog check done right away. Very friendly and quick service. It only took about 15-20 min. I will definitely be coming back here! read more
