If you need a smog test for your registration, Planet Smog Check is the place to go. The owner Sean was super nice, gave me a bottle of water while I waited and was very quick in doing the test. Seemed like a very honest guy, especially when he told me about getting a discount on the price! There was no incentive for him to do so but he did anyway. He is currently running a promotional special for $38 with their online coupon. Can't beat that price. I will take all my cars here from now on. read more

BEST in south OC!! Sean (the owner) is super friendly and so honest. Answers phone right away and even double checked my plate to see if I really needed a smog check! What a guy. Best price too. I called 5 other shops and he was cheapest. In and out in less than 15 mins! Highly recommend!!! read more

Fast, polite and got the job done in about 15 min. Owner/operator is a nice guy. Price is very fair. Would highly recommend!

Sean was super friendly and the service was quick! He brought water and had a nice place for us to sit while we waited. I've had to get a few different smog checks done in town over the years and this has been the fastest and most pleasant experience! If you check out the website, scsmog.com, there is an extra discount. :) read more

Sean is super nice, he turned my car around for me and waited in the street so I can pull out with no issues. This was by far the fastest smog I ever had, in and out within 10 minutes. read more

amazing service! spent 10 minutes and he gave me a water. it was a nice gesture and i can tell he geniunly cares about his customers.

Great smog place. Complimentary water. Great service. With the coupon the smog check was done at an awesome price!

Fast. Nice. Professional. Good prices. I felt at home and taken care of for the short time I was there. This is the place to go hands down.

Wow!!!!!Sean is great and really helpful. I came in with my old school Mazda and had failed smog at another location because i did not know Sean was so close to my home. I went and pot octane booster, premium gas and Sea Foam in my tank before taking it to Sean to see if i would burn cleaner. That's what happens when you believe the internet. I got to Planet smog and Sean told me the truth about what i had done. I failed again Lol. I saw that Sean felt sorry for me. for free he checked my truck and saw that it needed an EGR valve. He also showed me i had the wrong size air connectors on my engine, not letting it breathe. Man, i could tell he felt sorry for me failing and did all that for me free of charge. I'm still trying to find the rare EGV724 valve for it and I'm going back. He was right about everything he told me and my truck is running so much better See you soon Sea. Oh yeah he has a really nice and private waiting area, gives you bottled water and snacks, That my friend is service hard to match. Thanks, Roosevelt read more

The owner of the business is so polite and professional. I was able to make an appointment. He did the work quickly. It was great!

This is the best place for a smog check! Sean provides great customer service and makes getting a smog check easy and quick.

Dang I felt like I was at the Four Seasons. Excellent service. Quick and efficient. The guy working there is a legend!

I don't write reviews often, but I just had to brag about Sean's extremely great service. I came last year to the location next to the gas station, and Sean was very friendly and quick. My smog check was due again this year, so I drove down to the gas station location, but saw a sign that Sean had moved. I passed a couple smog check stations on the way to the new location, but I just had to come back for Sean's excellent service. Super stoked to get this all done on my quick lunch break just before heading back to work. The price was much better than all the other's in the area too. I'll be back next time. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Best service I've ever had. Sean will go the extra mile to make you feel like a valued customer. He pulled my car in for me, got me a cold water, and set my car up so it would be easy for me to pull out of the garage. SMOG check only took 10 minutes! After going to M&M smog check right before and being rudely shooed out the door because they didn't have time, Sean's stellar service made me feel so much better. read more

I had a great experience getting the smog certificate for my car! When I got back in, the owner was holding a bottle of hand sanitizer for me!! Definitely recommend!! read more

Best place to take your vehicle in San Clemente. I thought they only did smog testing but they do repairs as well. Sean was really friendly, helpful and had reasonable pricing which is hard to find. Very happy! read more

Great customer service. I was in and out in 15 minutes. It's also a Star song check! When I got there and asked him how much it would be, he even helped me get a coupon online so that I could use that same day. read more

I've been going to Sean for my smog checks since I first moved to SC almost 5 years ago. He is always professional and very friendly. Today I went back for a 2 year registration renewal check and in our new normal nothing has changed. Sean goes above and beyond to take care of his customers and do fast, accurate work. Next time you need a smog check, Planet Smog Check is your best option in all of Orange County! read more

The only place I bring my vehicles and the only Place I recommend to other people!!! Sean is always so accommodating and very respectful. It is always a fast in-out experience at planet smog!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! read more

A very pleasant guy named Sean, running a one man operation. He was kind enough to give me a $10 discount (and I didn't even have to ask him) making the final payment $49.95. And it only took 5 minutes. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I drive a Prius. In any case, I'm all about supporting good people running good, honest business, and Sean is definitely all that. read more

this place is great!! the service was super professional and he was super fast when it came to doing my smog check for me!

Sean was very courteous quick and friendly. There's also an online coupon available in his website that I was able to use. I would definitely recommend and refer this location to anyone. The location has plenty of parking and easy to find. read more

Fantastic experience, fast service, very polite and friendly, clean waiting area. Highly recommended!

This place is the BEST, I was in and out in 10 mins. Courteous service, thorough, competitive pricing, a waiting room and a bottle of water while you wait. read more

The owner of Planet Smog is AWESOME. It's so hard to find people who are passionate about what they do and put 100% into their work, but that's exactly what you get here. He was so enthusiastic and gave the best customer service. My work truck has definitely seen better days, so he even zip-tied my grill back onto my car while he was at it. Couldn't recommend Planet Smog more highly. read more

Sean, the owner, was so helpful and courteous and got us in and out in under 15 minutes. His extended weekday hours were extra convenient, meaning we didn't have to take any time away from work. Sean made the experience easy and quick. read more

Sean is great, quick and honest, I can't thank him enough. Support this shop he deserves it

Great fast service and extremely friendly. Website had a coupon that helped. Gave all receipts stacked and stapled, perfectly organized. Will make it an easy trip to the DMV. Thank you! read more

I am a local and I have never been to the smog shop. After going, it is definitely my new spot. Great service and good prices! I highly recommend to anybody who needs a smog. read more

Shawn at Planet Smog Check was very warm & welcoming. We took my sons truck in for a smog test and had a wonderfully easy experience. Shawn gave us a $10 discount and a bottle of cold water while we were waiting. I highly recommend Planet Smog Check. "Tony" the bird mascot was super cool too! read more

Went for a smog test and had a great experience. The owner is very friendly and super fast. He is very considerate and has good sanitizing practice during this pandemic time. Very satisfied!! read more

This guy is a total pro. I have gotten four cars smog'd here. I won't go anywhere else.

Fantastic customer service! Sean opened this place after VALERO went out of business and I found him when I moved to San Clemente. Local owned and operated, goes above and beyond. Always greets with a smile and a bottle of water. Recommend highly. read more

Fast , easy , and friendly. I highly recommend SC smog!!! Shawn was great I will be bringing all my cars here in the future!

I came for a smog check which was done so fast, and noticed my headlight was out. The guy looked and pulled out the burnt out bulb handed it to me And said if you go buy another one I'll replace it for you. Which I did and he didn't charge me. Said drive safely., and I'll see you next time. That's customer service !!! I will be bringing all of our cars and trucks here!! read more

Best place I've ever been!! So respectful. We pulled up and he had a mask on already! Greeted us with waters and a clean waiting room. We were in and out within 10 minutes. When we were leaving he gave us hand sanitizer right as we got in the car. 10/10 if I could give more stars I would! read more

No waiting early on Monday morning! Friendly service and safety recommendations for COVID are followed.

Fastest easiest smog check ever. Great service. Very clean inside. Normal pricing- matches what is advertised on the website.
