I walked in to get a smog last minute, Tommy was very friendly and helped me. The experience was quick, good customer service!

Great service. Friendly, and explained everything done. In and out quickly. Would definitely come back here.

Showed up last minute and they were able to test my car. Friendly and quick. Recommended.

John was so friendly and helpful - got us in quickly and the test took us less than 15 minutes. The information was forwarded automatically to the DMV for us so we did not have to make a trip there to get the car certified. His price was very comparable to other local shops where the wait time yo be seen was a few days rather than right away. He looked after the testing for us quickly and efficiently. Will be back for the next Smog check! read more

This is my second time seeing John over at San Clemente Smog. He gives fast, efficient service. I was able to schedule my smog check the for the same morning I called him. He got me right in and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The price was very reasonable and so convenient with him being in the industrial area kind of behind Rainbow Sandals. The best part? I passed the smog check. I'll be back in two years when I need my smog cert again. read more

Found on Yelp and didn't disappoint. Very easy, fast, and professional. New to the area and this made the SMOG as easy as it could be! Not very expensive and quality work! Fit me in early in the morning so I could check it off my list before getting to the rest of my day. Would recommend whole heartedly, thank you! read more

Called and made an appointment based on the yelp reviews I saw. After leaving the DMV in San Clemente, I decided to take care of it as the State of California does require you have a smog check EVEN if you have a brand spanking new vehicle. Certified technician was very welcoming, super fast and friendly! Got it all done in 10 minutes or less. Will definitely keep coming for future reference. read more

If you're in need of a smog test all you need to bring with you is your registration. Arrived 10 minutes earlier than when they open to avoid a wait and to my surprise the inspector took me in right away. The whole process took a little over ten minutes and cost $69 (nice). Super friendly and provided his insight at the end on how to continue passing the once every two year test. read more

What a great experience. John walked out to greet me as soon as i drove up, showed me where to park, and gave me a time estimate of 10 minutes. I took a seat in a pleasant waiting area outside and while I was waiting a guy in a limited edition Porsche drove up, greeted John like an old friend and sat down to wait too. OK, that made me feel like I'd made a good choice to come here. People know John and this place and trust their impressive cars to him. After a wait of only 5 minutes total, John drove my car into the shop, quickly and efficiently did the smog check and I was in his waiting room getting my paperwork. The waiting room is great BTW-worth the visit to see a little bit of San Clemente car history. Really appreciate John and the great service at San Clemente Test Only Auto Center. Would highly recommend that you visit him if your car needs a smog check. read more

Simply awesome service! Got my both SUV tested without any appointments or waiting. Discounts were great as well. Thank you. read more
