I went in for a smog after finding a $10 off coupon on their website. The worker was friendly and…read morethe service was really fast but it was more expensive than I thought it would be. Their website advertised best price in Oceanside but it was $60 even with the coupon for my small, early-2010s sedan. I know inflation is crazy but last time I got a smog I paid like $30 at a different place. Their outdoor waiting area was thoughtful but it smelt like urine. I think I'll look around a bit more for a better place next time.

Walked in and he took my information. **Don't forget your registration paper they need it to scan.** Was told it would take approximately 15 minutes. And it was just that. Checkout was a breeze. I even received a return customer discount! If you're in need of a smog inspection check this place out.

When it's that time, I'm always in then in a flash I'm out of there. What a quick turnaround! There's someone checking in folks along with providing estimates and the other one conducting the thorough inspection. They have it down to a tee running like a well oiled machine. All in all, the staff are always super friendly at the same time professional. Looove their AWESOME customer service!! I appreciate it a lot. Thank you guys for your efficiency!!! I highly recommend this inspection station to the Yelp Community :-)

It was $58 with their special, that included the smog certificate. We made an appointment for 1:30pm the same day and ended up coming early around 12pm or so. We went to lunch next door at the Fish Shop and they were done by 12:35pm even though they had an another appointment. Johnnie at the front counter and the person who did the smog (sorry didn't get his name) but they were both great! I will definitely come here again for our next smog!

The guy, I can't remember his name (sorry), told me exactly what I needed to do, where to get the part, and how to put it in! I did it all on my own!. It was amazing. I took it back and it passed smog! This was an excellent value because if you failed smog the first time you get a discount when you take it back to the same place. Couldn't ask for more. Great price. Excellent service. I feel bad for not remembering his name because it's been the same guy every single year for many years.

This isn't helpful because now I have to get it fixed and how am I going to get it back there within 30 days when the part isn't available because it's an old vehicle.

Walked in and the only other person was on the phone who saw me but never acknowledged me. I stood there by their "waiting area" and there's a 4 year old child playing video games in the "lobby", some dog approaches me and licks my toes while I'm standing there for about 2 minutes and no service, no "we'll be right with you" so I left. I went to Cox auto service about a quarter mile away. Was approached immediately by a technician before I could even put the brakes on and 15 minutes and 67 dollars later I was back on the road.
