Service requested, came here and there was no wait time. They are efficient. Helpful and they makes the process smooth.

I went in for a smog test and was in and out in 15 minutes. There's a small waiting area where I Love Lucy was playing and a nice breeze was coming in. I had enough time to answer a couple of texts and an email and I was done. The guy who helped me was really nice. I don't know the average price of a smog test and certificate, so hard to say if it was a cheap or expensive but I needed it done and there was no hassle. It was worth it to me. read more

Was referred to them by my mechanic, Poway Integrity Automotive. There was one person ahead of me and I called in on a Sunday to see availability. Was out in less than 15 minutes. Area inside is nice, seats about 10 in the AC. So quick and easy. Paid $60 for my 2015 CR-V and got a $10 discount from the normal $70 for being a AAA member. Will definitely be back. Staff super nice! read more

Super easy. In and out in less than 15 min! May have been because of the rainy weather.

What a breath of fresh air. A reasonable cost, certificate included, no arbitrary surcharges for vans and SUVS, and an online coupon. Owner was cool, service was fast, will definitely be back. read more

I've always taken all my cars here for smog. I've gotten to know the guys here and they are always friendly, fast, and the price is great too. I like the fact that Tuan is really accommodating of my schedule even when i call on short notice. You all got a lifetime customer in me as long as I don't go electric. lol. read more

This place is great for a quick and easy smog check! Been here 2 or 3 times now and they're so fast, even with a car ahead of me, maybe only waiting 15 mins with no appt. Excellent service! read more

Smog check is quick in the early morning of Saturday. Only one customer in front of me. It's a clean and smog test only shop.

The smog service was fast! There were 3 people infront of me and I got out less than 20 minutes. The staff were friendly and informative.

I originally went to another partner location nearby at 4:40 pm, but with four cars ahead of me and closing time at 5 pm, the owner referred me to this station. He even called ahead to make sure they could take me since they were also closing at 5 pm. Thankfully, they accepted me, so I quickly drove over and arrived just a few minutes before closing. Tuan, the technician, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, even so close to the end of the day. The entire process -- registration, smog check, and payment -- took only about 15 minutes and was very affordable. Everything went so smoothly, and I was impressed by the efficiency. I highly recommend this place for anyone needing a quick, hassle-free smog check! read more

No appointments required. Quick and fast service. Everything was explained in detail .

I have been here since back in the day in the 2000s when I had my 1996 Accord and now I'm back with my 2010 Camry (and many family cars in between). It's the OG Smog place in Poway. It's kind of hidden on Pomerado Road tucked away with a bunch of other automotive businesses. Service was quick, friendly, knowledgeable. The waiting area was clean, had hand sanitizer, water, magazines and AC to keep you cool. Roger and Jay was super nice and made me feel comfortable. Sometimes going to a car place as a female can be overwhelming but they made me feel right at home and I was in and out in no time. Highly recommend this place. read more

See all

Fast service, easy to get an appointment, they took care of me at a very fair price. I waited while they smog my motorhome, it took them less than 20 minutes. read more

Usually in and out very quick, but do not expect them to honor any discounted coupon as they always come up with the excuse as to why your vehicle does not qualify for the discounted rate. read more

Came here to get my new-to-me RV tested for smog, as required by the California DMV. They will service short RVs here which is nice because not everyone services RVs for smog. Guy was friendly and quick. I was in and out in probably 25 minutes. He also provided clear directions for what the DMV needed. Thank you!!! read more

I was in and out of there in 10 minutes! Great service! A little hard to find but worth the trip!

Super fast, super easy...the coupon does NOT say more for SUV but that is to be expected and he tells you that before starting the work on your car! Easy to do your registration after they give you the paperwork..left there and went straight to AAA to pay mine and my smog voucher was already loaded in the computer! EASSSY PEEZY! read more

Great place. No frills and good service. In and out. I went there on a Saturday to do a smog check. 15 minutes later, I was done.

Conveniently located, very professional, responsive, and excellent price. In and out in under 30 minutes; no appointment needed. I'll be coming back here every 2 years! read more

Purchased a company vehicle from out of state. Googled and found this local Smog shop. Called in, my phone call was answered immediately. Asked about walk-ins and employee immediately asked for make and model of the vehicle and welcomed me in. He needed any paperwork I had (which if you dont have paperwork is okay too). Asks for an ID and gets started. I am actually disapointed in how FAST he was. I was looking for a fun down time event to watch some Hulu while waiting. I didn't even get through a whole episode of Schitt's Creek before he brought my vehicle back around and printed my paperwork. He provides the certificate in hand. Honored a discount from a coupon I found online and sent me on my way. I've spent a longer amount of time in line at a 7-11 than I did in the waiting room at this smog shop. Excellent service. read more

Benn going there for years. Great staff fair price. Very professional and quick service.

They were able to accommodate me for a smog test as a walk in and completed the work in a short time. The price was commensurate for the job, and even a little less expensive than other similar businesses. The staff was friendly and professional. read more

I brought my car in on short notice for a smog check. Poway Smog got me in and out efficiently and at a good price and also gave me some notice that the DMV had been slacking on processing in recent weeks. read more

Walked in with no appointment. Two cars a head of me and I was still in and out in no time. Two guys working their tails off and they never stood still the entire time I was there. One testing cars and the other managing the office and paperwork all while customers kept coming in. Very impressed and they showed smiles the entire time. Highly recommend and was a recommendation from my neighbor. Give them a shot and do t be confused by all the ads, coupons and gimmicks by everyone else. read more

I'm glad I left a review on this place almost 2 years since my last visit. It's nice that on Yelp you can search and your review comes on the top. This place still has the same awesome and quick customer service. Returning customers get a slight discount on smog check (anything helps). Definitely have a lifetime customer. read more
