Wow! I had no idea that getting a smog check could be so pleasant! I called around looking for best price, shortest wait, convenient location and Smog Express checked all those boxes, but I had no idea what I was to come. Bill and Lina are so sweet, so personable and friendly, and so fast, fair and efficient, even gave coupons to share. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Great experience. read more

I have been taking our 2003 Chevy Trailblazer and our 2008 Honda Accord there for every Smog Check since they have needed Smog checks. I teach at the high school right down the street and have never wanted or needed to take it anywhere else. It is a Smog Only station but I take both cars there whether I need the Smog Only station if not. The husband and wife team is awesome. Pro Tip - it opens at 8am most days so bring it in then and get it over with. read more

Phil & Lena own this local smog shop that I have been using for years; their shop is clean and organized and they are well trained and honest.

I went earlier this morning (Friday, September 9) and only had to wait 15 minutes for the smog check to be complete. The service was quick and painless. The owners were professional and polite. Highly recommend to anyone who's in the market for a smog check. read more

This is the cleanest and friendliest smog check you'll find. Excellent, efficient and professional service provided by a kind couple.

Their services are reasonably priced, and they offer a generous discount to returning customers. Thank you! read more

Smog express was fast and reasonably priced. The husband and wife team were very nice.

This place was very busy but they made sure the service was Fast, price well, and staff was friendly. I won't be going anywhere else.

They were quick and kind! I had my toddler fall asleep within 5 minutes of waiting for a car to come out to be next. They let me hold my infant and stand next to the car to make sure my toddler stayed asleep. They were very kind and offered coupons! On top of that, it took them only 10 minutes. Definitely recommend! read more

If you want a place that is honest, fast, and a quality smog, come to smog express. The owner here is one of the most understanding people and his wife is such a kind soul. The entire smog experience took me only 30 minutes, and the prices here are so reasonable, especially to get my Lexus smogged! I ended up bringing the whole family here to get their cars smogged, and they live all the way in riverside! Don't hesitate to come here, they're awesome and their smog shop is awesome as well. read more

Very pleased with this location! I needed a STAR certified smog check location for my Jeep this year & this one is great. I live in Laguna Beach, where they charge $75-85 for a smog check!

I was looking for a local smog check place and found this and have come for last two years ( since needing a smog check for my car) The owners are a husband and wife and very friendly and provide very good care. They asked if I had a coupon and I said no problem as they had one I can use. The wait is never too long and they have comfortable waiting area, so it's not bad to wait for the car. They also do all the DMV paperwork for you and making it easy! Thank you !! read more

Smog Express - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

See all

This is the only place I'll come to get my smog from now on. Awesome family run store in a good location, failed initially due to a torn air intake hose, fixed it at home and came back a couple weeks later and passed with flying colors. Gave me a discount both times for the cheapest price I was able to find in the area. Big thanks to the friendly folks at smog express! read more

If every business was run like this, the world would be a better place. The tests are done quickly and usually ahead of schedule. The owners couldn't be nicer and they have a great working harmony. If you don't need a smog check but coach a team, just stop by to see what awesome teamwork looks like. I've been going to them for 15 years for two cars. I will never go anyplace else if I live in the neighborhood. If there was a world cup of customer service, they would win. I can't say enough good things. I took the liberty of posting their coupon below. read more

Smog Express - $20 off - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Highly recommend! Bill and Lina are awesome and very helpful! Great service, reliable, and easy to work with.

This smog facility is fast, efficient and affordable! The owners are nice. They may come off as hastily and fast talking but I think it is their culture. They have comfy couches and many magazines to pass your 15 minute wait. read more

Love this shop and the owners. The owners are always kind and pleasant and have a great sense of humor too. I've been going to them for years and will continue. I highly recommend their service. They were so generous to give me a discount, they didn't know it but I recently lost my job. Even after their discount, I was short by $5.00 and told them I could come back and give it to them and they said no problem not to worry. Very thoughtful people. read more

Found this place after doing a quick internet search. This place is owned by a husband and wife couple who were very friendly and really knew what they were doing. Went here today to get my Mercedes smog tested. I had a great experience with customer service and efficiency. Was surprised at how many people were here today and how quickly they were burning through the line of people. I was in and out in 20 mins. Definitely recommend! read more

I would give this place negative stars if I could. He is a rude grumpy man. Treats people with no respect. Tells me to come back later and will smog my truck then I come and he says no he can't do it anymore. Just needs to retire or find something else to do in his old age. read more

Excellent service to get a smog check. Family owned business , I've come here for the last 19 years and have always received great service. Bill and Lina are fantastic owners. read more

Very kind people who helped me get my smog check completed. They are very busy so I would recommend making an appointment if you can.

I've been bringing my cars here for about 16 or 17 years. It's a mom and pop shop that only does smog checks so there is no giant overhead to pay employees so the customers save a lot. Before I brought my car here the first time, I must have called about 10 different places and Smog Express had the best price by far. I love the owners, because they are very kind and sweet. I highly recommend this place for your smog check. read more

What a great place! Bill and Lina are great people. I was fortunate enough to only have one person ahead of me so I was in and out in 30 minutes. They currently have a great deal on the website (bring cash). Close to 1/2 the cost of nearby shops. Highly recommended! read more

It was an excellent service and I would recommend them to others. I did take Tom's advice and got there at 8AM and was out in 30 min.

No reservations just wait in line but it's quite quick. Great husband and wife running the place it's entertaining just to be there. Very honest and fair business. read more

Such a great experience! (And who really has a great time getting a smog test?!) But the husband and wife team that run Smog Express make the process so easy, kind, and oddly enjoyable. I was in and out super fast, maybe 30 mins tops. And I came the end of the day at 4PM but they were able to squeeze me in. They gave me a coupon too. Although they have a better one on their website if you pay cash. Luckily, I had cash on hand and got the cheapest smog test I've ever seen. I highly recommend this spot and told my fam to go here too. read more

A real mom and pop local business! Will continue to come here for all of my smog check needs as they are fast, friendly, and really know their stuff. I once had an older BMW (which are notoriously difficult to pass) and he gave me pointers as to what I needed to do to increase the odds of passing as he didn't want me wasting my $$$ by retesting. I took his advice, did what he recommended, and I barely squeaked by! I highly recommend them. PS: get the discount card for $20 off. Don't have one? Just ask and they'll give you one man the spot! read more

This is the best smog station around. The owners are honest, high integrity business owners that work hard and deliver 5 star service. Go here read more

I came here on a Wednesday morning and waited in line. Not only did 2 people cut me in line, the owners proceeded to tell me that those 2 people were here before me? Absolutely rude. As more people came in, it was unorganized with the shop owners arguing which customer was next. So unprofessional. I highly suggest them to get a sign in sheet to reduce confusion. read more

Super kind staff, quick process! $36 dollar smog check, including the $8 CA fee? Are you joking, what else need I say?! The staff was also nice on the phone and in person, did a quick walk-in. This is probably the cheapest and most efficient smog you'll receive anywhere around here. read more

Bill and Lina are such a joy! This was my first time coming here and I had an AWESOME experience with them. We ended up having a great conversation and I got to know their story more. They've had their business for 20 years and have some great relationships with their longtime customers (and now I see why)! They are both personable, friendly, efficient and truly love what they do. I will 100% be back and will recommend this place to my friends and family! Thank you! read more

Easy peezy. Drove up with my Escalade and 15 minutes later was going e. They gave me a discount for being a returning customer and paying with cash. Great place to have your car smogged. read more

This was one of the friendliest shop experiences that I have ever had! The husband and wife that own this place are very accommodating and immediately make you feel welcome. They were very efficient and professional and I was in and out in about 20 minutes (and I was about third in line). I highly recommend coming here and plan to come here for future smog tests :) read more

The couple who runs this place are very kind and provide speedy service! Will definitely be going back.
