I came to the Smog Spot to get a smog check on my vehicle so that I could renew its registration. I have to say the quality value of service that I received at the mock spot is beyond words. The owner is very friendly and professional. The shop itself is very clean and high-end. The waiting area is very nice and relaxing. I have to mention the restroom here... It was like being in the restroom at a high-end luxury resort in Las Vegas. I was in and out of here in about 12 minutes at a very affordable price. I highly recommend the Smog Spot. read more

Great prompt service . Clean waiting area. Friendly staff. Professional facilities. Brought my truck for smog testing and I was very satisfied with the service. read more

Excellent experience--quick, efficient, and very well run. The facility was clean, organized, and far from the typical image of a smog shop. The entire process was straightforward and surprisingly comfortable, especially as a woman--it felt very "girl-friendly" and not at all like the long-wait, chaotic, or dirty car environments you might expect. Everything was handled smoothly, and I was in and out with no hassle. At $48, it was also great value for the level of service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fast, clean, and stress-free experience. read more

This firm handled my recent smog check. This is the cleanest smog shop I have ever been to. The owner seems to take pride in the shop and his work. They are quick in and out with very fair pricing. Go there you will not be disappointed. read more

Smog Spot is a small, owner-operated smog check shop tucked away in a little business complex in Lake Forest. I found it because it was one of the only places open on Sunday, and I'm glad I did, as it turned out to be a diamond in the rough. I brought my older Honda Civic in for a smog check. The price was very reasonable and the whole experience was hassle-free. They've got a nice little waiting room set up, and the owner offered me a water while I waited, which was a nice touch. You can tell he cares about how he runs the place. My car didn't pass on the first try, but the owner took the time to point out that part of my intake needed to be replaced instead of just handing me a fail and sending me on my way. Once I took care of the repair and brought it back, it passed without any issues. Sunday availability, fair pricing, and good old-fashioned customer service. Five stars and a class act! read more

Found this small business on Yelp! Thanks, Yelpers!! I needed a Star-Certified Smog Check on my 22 year old car, and all it took was 12 minutes to have my smog completed. Very happy! Excellent customer service, and they took great and delicate care of my vehicle. For $48, it's so worth it. He even gave me my change in a $2 bill. WOW!!! Haven't seen those since I was a kid!!! Comfortable waiting area, clear signage, with nice and clean spot. You need an effortless smog, go to the Smog Spot! ALL the positive Yelp reviews are accurate! Most definitely, I'm returning in a couple of years! Highly recommended! And there you have it.... read more

Quick, professional smog testing service at a good price. Sean provided prompt, friendly communication in answering my questions and setting up my appointment. He only took about 10 minutes to go through smog testing and submitting the results to the DMV. The lobby/waiting area is as clean and comfortable as I've experienced from a Smog check shop. I highly recommend this place if your in need of a smog check. read more

This is by far my favorite place to get my smog tests at. Sean is very friendly and an honest business owner. His shop is very clean with a very nice waiting area. His service is always quick and offers the best price in town. I don't ever mind driving a little further, passing many other smog test shops along the way, to get my car inspected by Sean. Thanks again as always, keep up the great work! read more

Came here for smog check. Quick service. Reasonable price. Professional. Would recommend.

The service was pretty quick, no hassle. The price is quite competitive and that's a good thing for consumers. It's a bit out of our way but I shall return for the next smog check. Recommend for the people in the area! read more

Great customer service . Fast service . Called and with in mins got it done . Very happy with the service. I I would recommend this business. I took my car and was out with in 15 mins. Flat rate and very happy with this service. read more

Service for a Smog Check was quick and the customer Service was excellent. Initial communication happened via text and let me know they can accommodate my car even close to closing. I really needed to get the Smog Check done because my Registration was set to expire at the end of the month. Even though there were 2 cars before me. I was taken care of quickly. The price was cheaper than many of the other shops I had contacted. read more

I took my Hyundai to the Smog Spot for a DMV registration check on a rainy day. I made an appointment two days before. The location is pristine, incredibly clean. You feel like you're walking into a showroom rather than a mechanics location. The person at the desk who did the smog check was efficient and polite. The entire process took less than half an hour. The Smog Spot also had a coupon running at the time so I was able to save $10 on my service. This was the best smog check experience I've ever had in my 30+ years of driving and definitely recommend this location. read more

All I have to say is wow! I've been to plenty of smoke shops, and this one has to be the cleanest. I love the interior. It was very welcoming. The couch was clean. The lobby smelled nice, and I liked the big, huge TV. The customer service is fantastic. Sean offered you water or a drink. He takes care of your car and the paperwork. He responds to messages very fast through Yelp. That is a plus because many places don't message you back. I would definitely come here again. read more

Fast and reasonable. They only do smog. That's a plus as they aren't looking for more work

Awesome service and value! Very friendly! I was in and out of there in less than 15 minutes. We just moved to Laguna Hills and we are very happy to have found an excellent local place to get our smog tests done. read more

Came by and had one of the best experiences, as far as a failing smog check could go! I came here on a Wednesday, ready to pass my smog check to renew my car's registration. I sought a quote from the yelp page, and they responded to me within 20 minutes! Fantastic! I was able to come in, and be seen very quickly. Unfortunately, my vehicle did not pass. Not to fret, I was not charged a dime, and the gentleman at the counter even told me exactly what I needed to pass my smog check! It was a ripped intake hose! After having ordered the part, going through the grueling install process, and driving back on a Saturday, I met the same gentleman (regrettably, I didn't get his name), and we ran it back! This time, I passed! Good to go, and spirits high, I paid the extremely reasonable fee, and sped home! I gotta recommend this place to anyone who's in need of a smog check! P.S. they have a particularly gripping nature documentary on in the lobby. read more

If you need a Star smog check there is no other place I have found that is so reasonable, clean and efficient. I was greeted at the door, invited to sit in a modern, spotless waiting area and had the work done in ten minutes. Getting a smog check in general is a hassle but by going to Smog Spot it becomes very pleasant. read more

It was time to get the car smogged and after checking around town, Smog Spot won my business. Price is fair, the location is super clean, and the owner, Sean, is fast and efficient. There was a little hiccup the first time I tried to smog my car, but Sean politely explained what was going on and what I had to do to get it completed. Thankfully everything went smoothly and I don't have to get this done again for another 2 years. I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking to get your vehicle smogged. read more

Needed to get my Subaru smog checked and found this place. By far cleanest auto place I've visited. Front area and waiting room was comfortable and the floor of the vehicle area is unique and spotless. When I walked in the owner greeted me promptly and offered me water while waiting. He took the car to the back and finished within 10 minutes. Excellent place and will be taking my truck here when it's time. Only tricky thing is the location. You can park in front of the audio store or take the alley down to the back. He does have flags up at Del Lago so you can see the building. read more

Absolutely a 5-star experience!! I'd give 10 stars if I could. I agree with all of the other 5-star comments about this business.

So refreshing to have such quality service with a welcoming attitude! Thank you, Sean, for making my day! read more

The bathroom is amazing. I know it seems strange to focus on the bathroom when reviewing a spot that specializes in performing automotive emissions testing, but hear me out. As an automotive enthusiast, I've been in countless garages and shops over the years. One of the quickest ways to determine if the business is customer-focused is to check out the bathroom. If the bathroom is a mess, you don't want them working on your vehicle. I had recently purchased a 25-year-old Miata for my son and needed to get it smogged. Since the vehicle was older and was equipped with some aftermarket performance goodies, I didn't want to take it to just any Smog testing facility. After seeing friends with older exotics and modified vehicles taking their vehicles to Smog Spot, I knew I was in good hands. I gave them a call at 2:45 on a Monday, spoke with Sean, and he told me to come on by. I arrived at 3:15 and was done by 3:45. Sean's Smog Spot provided the easiest and cleanest smog testing experience I've ever had. The facility and waiting area are spotless and the bathroom is amazing. read more

I had a great experience getting my SMOG test done here! I also noticed that the pricing was very reasonable. The service was impressively fast; I was in and out in under 20 minutes! What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Sean was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which I really appreciated (coming from someone who doesn't know much about cars). If you're looking for a place that's efficient, affordable, and genuinely cares about its customers, I highly recommend taking your car to SMOG Spot. Extra bonus points for being dog-friendly! I'll definitely be coming back next time I need a SMOG check! read more
