    I've been coming to Smog Shop Oceanside for the past few years and I really love the service here! The Smog Shop Oceanside is located in Oceanside just off of Oceanside Blvd within the Del Oro Marketplace. A very convenient location and there's plenty of shopping & food options nearby, along with access to the public train. Jaime always provides consistent & friendly service; not to mention fast! Their office is rather small, with only seating for a few customers which may be considered a con. But because of their location, there are plenty of places to go explore & grab a bite while waiting. The Smog Shop Oceanside appears to only take WALK-INS and no appointments. I highly recommend CALLING-AHEAD to get an idea of your possible Wait-Time. The great news is that the service at Smog Shop is extremely fast! It often takes under 20 minutes per vehicle to do a typical inspection. Mine typically takes 15 minutes to complete! Their pricing is extremely fair and it costs under $65 to do my smog inspection for my 2010 vehicle. You can also save money by using CASH as payment, but you can also use credit cards too. Overall, I really love this local, small business and I recommend the SMOG SHOP OCEANSIDE!

    Rick & his crew did a great job! If you need a smog, I…read moredefinitely recommend you bringing your vehicle here! Very reasonably priced too! Ron Z.

    1 star. Do not bring your car here…read more I brought myJeep SRT8 in for a valve cover, oil pan, and crank seal job on 5/8. Got it back 5/13, five days for a two-day quote. It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir
