Didn't realize that I needed a smog the morning I went to AAA to pay for my registration. Called around 9am to see if I needed an appnt. Wasn't necessary. When I got there, there were 2 ppl ahead of me. Was in and out in about 15 min. read more

Quick & easy service! Open on Sundays. Very friendly & great value. Will definitely use for future smog tests.

Great service. Very prompt and courteous experience. Highly recommended over the years we have patronized this business.

Bought a Jeep that was non op for a while and the CAT test wasn't quite ready to pass. Jaime was super helpful by suggesting I drive it 300 or more miles and since it hasn't been registered yet he was kind enough to write on the paperwork "needs to be driven" in case I got pulled over. He tested it for me a couple more times at no cost and then when it was ready and passed he gave me my cert. and helped me figure out why my brake lights weren't working. I thought there was an electrical problem but Jaime suggested changing the brake switch and it worked. He saved me a lot of grief time and money, not to mention ladies he smells really good and is very easy on the eyes ;) and he was nice to my dog. I can definitely say this was the best smog experience I've had in all my 20+ years of driving and having to smog vehicles. Thanks Jaime. You're a doll! Hands down best smog place in Cali read more

Smog Shop - My Jeep Passed - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Oceanside, California

Brought my Tahoe in for smog. Owner is uper cool, friendly and professional. Highly recommend

Great smog shop! I've been taking my car here for years and always have a great experience. I always trusted the previous owner Ken and can still say the same thing about the current owner Jaime. Always fast and friendly service! Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I both came here this month and we're very happy with the owner, he was fast and a great communicator

If you need a smog certificate, this is the place. I showed up on a Thursday morning and was out in 15 minutes. Excellent service and thanks Jaime! read more

Super friendly. Easy in easy out. My business and time felt appreciated. Will definitely come here again for future smog checks.

Amazing 5-star job, they even cleaned my headlights that had fogged up. Waiting area with AC, TV. Plenty of walkable spots if there's a wait. Yelp wants me to write more to post a review here. What do you want yelp!? It's a damn smog shop not an authentic mom n' pop Italian restaurant on an ocean cliff read more

Customer service was great, super quick, nice place, very respectful business, 10/10 experience!

Jamie was amazingly I would recommend him to anyone car RV, any vehicle needing smog he knows what he's doing takes the time to help his customers I came in with an 1997 RV, not always easy to find a place to smog RVs. He took the time to help me get my smog and even help me replace a burned out Headlight Great service . thank you so much for your help. Great place family owned business. Great price Very friendly highly recommend them great job read more

Great place for smog...even though I had to come back like four times because not all of my F-150's OBD sensors were ready. Still, two drives to Temecula at 55 mph is all it took (first time, I was going 75 mph...oops). Thanks Ken for helping me figure out what I needed to do. Both my truck and car passed smog and I'm a happy camper for the next couple of years. read more

Fast, friendly, and locally owned. Don't forget to check for a coupon for additional savings. Been here four times and will be back for certain. read more

Very easy price quote, immediate service, answered my questions patiently. I got a quote over the internet in less than 2 minutes. It was very easy. When I arrived they greeted me very quickly despite having other customers. Service was fast and effective. Good price and great service. read more

Really appreciated how quickly they took care of me today and offered some suggestions on some car repairs and registration that really helped me out today. read more

I actually wrote a 5-star review for this place two years ago. It was my first review ever, and I deleted it. I felt it was unfair to rate a place that is completely service-based on a single visit. Well, I came back, and while Travis is no longer affiliated with the business, the service from Ken was just as fast and friendly. I was in and out in 14 minutes, just like with my previous visit. I didn't print the coupon (again) and still he applied the discount. This place is a bit unassuming as it's in a business park. Look for the I Love Bagels shop on the corner, as it's straight back towards the train tracks from that. In two years, I will be back. P.S.- Even if there was a long wait, I could easily entertain my feeding habits by grabbing a bite at one of the many dining spots in the plaza. Pros: - fast, friendly - Yelp check-in offer or coupon - open 7 days - walk-ins okay Cons: - one man show at peak times can cause a bit of a wait - small waiting room read more

Husband just got back from there and was surprised with how quick the service was. He said that the guy who greeted him was super friendly and personable. Will be the place to go for when our vehicles need a smog check again. read more

Straight forward service. Would definitely recommend if someone isn't needing the DMV registration renewal done all in one place.

Super friendly and quick service. I appreciate the convenience and timeliness of this shop

Fastest smog check ever! Jaime was super quick and helpful! Less than 10 minutes! I would definitely recommend!

I got here before another person but his truck was newer so I was kindly asked if I did not mind waiting and let truck guy go first. The newer truck will probably be quicker to test so I didn't mind. First of all, I appreciated the social distancing and mask reminders posted all over the shop. Shows that they care about the customers. Anyway, I took my van here (96 windstar..I know, I should get rid of this soon). Reason was out of all the stores I called, this one was one of the most inexpensive (60$ vs some 80, 90$ quotes I got). The test also did not take too long (maybe I shouldn't have let that other guy go first. lol) and it passed. Will definitely go back here again for future tests. read more

Pulled in at 8:55am on a Tuesday morning. Hours stated they were open from 9am-6pm. I also called the day before to confirm and let the guy that answered know that I'd be there first thing in the morning. NO ONE EVER SHOWED UP TO OPEN THE SHOP. It's now over an hour later at 10:06am and no one is still here. I'm extremely surprised since I came here because of all the good reviews I guess I chose a bad day. Review update** The owner did respond to my review stating the reasoning the shop did not open up on time that day. I do believe that this is a great shop and I just came on a bad day. read more

Quick and responsive. Nice staff, gave discount to military Technician does a good job cutting down wait time, nice location. read more

The Lady dragged me on my day off to get a smog check with her. I only came because she assured that there's a nice waiting room with AC running. She wasn't lying! Looks like there's only 1 person working here and he's always in the back. There's really no way to call him to the front when you arrive, so just sit and relax in the AC room until he emerges from the back. The smog check itself was fairly typical. We were in and out of the shop in less than 35 minutes. read more

When I arrived there was only 1 other person there and their car was already being tested. I sat in the lobby and waited. After 40 minutes of waiting a man came into the lobby and told me he can't test my car because he wouldn't be done before 4. It's the upper 80s today and their facility does not offer AC, water or a bathroom. Less than ideal for sure. They also do not offer a free retest like so many other local places. Personally, I think there are better options out there for the same price. read more

Wonderful experience! Great customer service! Fast, Efficient and professional! Was in and out out with a smog certificate sent to the DMV in no time! Thanks again read more

Brought my car in today for a smog test. The service was extremely fast, price was more than reasonable and the customer service, impeccable! Very satisfied customer and will return next time I need a smog check! read more

Super quick. I got there just in time with no wait. Met a random new friend Yeppie. Friendly little fella. read more

Smog Shop - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Oceanside, California

See all

I went in for a smog test first thing as they opened. It was super quick and the guy was friendly and efficient.

The smog text was fast. The price is very competitive, I'll be bringing my vehicles here in the future.

I came here with a phone call and no appointment. The staff took my sad old car and brought it back with my paperwork for the DMV. The gentleman who took care of me was knowledgeable and very kind. He took the time to explain exactly what I needed to do and how to do it. Thank you very much. I hope return with the rest of my fleet of vehicles. read more

Awesome, fast service! Ken was really nice and helped answer all my questions. I would highly recommend this place for any Oceanside and Vista locals. read more

I showed up at 4 and was out by 4:15. Excellent quick service, polite, a very pleasant experience!

Been using Smog Shop for years. New owner very efficient. Also helper at the counter now is a bonus.

Quick and easy service car was taken back quickly and the process began. The coupon on their website is on good for 2000 or newer cars only. Since I didn't read the entire coupon offer no ding on that. The shop is clean and the people friendly. read more

The third time I try to show up at the shop early at 8:30 they open at nine every time I go he'snot there right now I just called again the shop it's 1030 am Still no answer if you're going to run a shop post the hours that you're going to be there. As I was leaving another gentleman in the BMW rolled up and said this is happened to him before at the same location. If you're going to spend 70 bucks to get a smog don't go through this guy read more

Fast, easy and techs are nice enough. Only downside was that the advertised price on the website was NOT honored. Don't even ask for a discount as they will just say they will help you out but ignore the offer and end up charging you full price. I won't be back........ read more

Got there at opening on a Monday morning and got taken care of right away. Took about 15 - 20 minutes, just enough time to grab a bagel and cream cheese at the store a few doors down. And my truck passed!! Great way to start the week. Super nice owner as well. read more

Took my 2004 Tacoma to Jaimie at his Smog Shop. Great service, friendly, have gone to him many times in the past before he had his own business. It was time for him to get his own place for sure. He has always been very courteous and willing to give any advice if my vehicle might need some further attention. Tacoma passed with flying colors. I have 2 more vehicles that will need testing and Jaimie will always get my business. Thanks again. read more
