Back at my go-to smog station!! Adulting here we go on a Saturday! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Scheduled an appt. by phone and the lady was very nice and immediately had openings available for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That's music to my ears! Upon arrival, there was plenty of parking and I snagged the one VIP spot right up front of their business. Tim assisted me and I was the only one there so hardly any wait at all and he even took me in early! WINNING!! Well it was a Saturday afternoon so that must have been the reason too. It's not the spot you'd like to spend your weekend but hey I got responsibilities ya know! It's also near my go-to auto shop, Elite services so this place was highly recommended to me by them. Anyway, I'm writing this review as they do my smog check! Fingers cross I pass the inspection. It's a 2006 Scion. I know my baby is old, but it's a classic at this point and functions just fine and I make sure I give her love, proper maintenance work, and pep talks. Hehe Pro tip: Don't forget to print out their $10 coupon online for some good savings. Especially in this economy... every dollar counts!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Support this awesome family-owned biz! They always make my experience smooth, stress-free, and borderline enjoyable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great service and was in and out in 30 ish minutes even though they were busy. Fair price.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a easy process and exceptional customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This actually wasn't the 1st place I went to. Another close by smog test place was closed when they should have been open. So the next day i remembered seeing this place from Miramar Rd. Stopped by after work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What I didn't realize is they were already closed but the nice gentleman was outside and said come on in. Even though he had closed he still took me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He said he was waiting on a delivery which is why he was still there. The whole process took less than 30 minutes.. and I was out the door with a PASS. Going forward this will be my go to spot for smog testing. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Called around 9:15am to see what time he might have openings, said I could stop by at 9:30am.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He was very straightforward, let me know about a recall on my civic and how to get it taken care of and I was out very quickly. Honest owner. Will be coming back and recommending to other people. Also a clean waiting room which I definitely appreciate. read more

***DO NOT BRING YOUR 1999 OR OLDER CARS HERE!!!*** Technician spent over an hour inspecting my car to find something to fail. The pictures below show that he failed my car because a hose was not connected when he could have easily put it back on no problem. How do I know he didn't remove that hose to get me to pay for a re inspection. Do not trust this place they will fail you if they can find anything even remotely wrong even if it's an easy fix as connecting a hose. Again, how do I know he didn't disconnect it? I don't, and even if you try and argue as I did they will deny any wrong doing. Go else where. Do not trust these people. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Called ahead to schedule a smog. Provided my make, model, and year. We then agreed on a time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After arriving he refused to test my vehicle claiming that he only likes to test newer vehicles. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tim wasted both of our time by scheduling a test that he didn't feel like doing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My trusted mechanic told me about this place. Turns out my uncle's use this place too. The owner is really chill and his prices and really reasonable in comparison to me other places. Just remember to call and book and appointment. read more

Can't believe I didn't find this business sooner! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are so easy to schedule, friendly, and quick with service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend them to everyone. Added bonus, their waiting area is clean, has a tv, bathroom and fresh air flowing throughout! Fair pricing and clear expectations, will definitely bring all my cars here! read more

I go here every time. Very convenient coming from mira mesa. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can't go wrong.

Nobody enjoys getting a smog test. It's a chore, we all hate it. So when Johnny DMV forces you to do it, limiting the pain is key. This place is tiny, simple and no frills. It's affordable ($48) and quick. I popped in on a Saturday morning and there was no line, no other customers and the dude running the place was in the back eating a sandwich. I knew right then that I had come to the right place. I was in and out in like 10 minutes and my dude was cool and helpful and got back to said sandwich in no time flat. Heck yeah. read more

It was very easy to call and schedule an appointment, and the appointment went quickly. I'm going out of my way to leave a positive review because the service was so incredibly friendly! There happened to be some work going on in the parking lot and we were urged to come inside to be away from any resulting dirt/dust. We were offered water, encouraged to turn on the fan in the waiting room...just anything and everything to keep us comfortable while our van was getting a smog check. Happy to do business with such kind people. read more

Very nice and quick smog. I didn't need a coupon for an amazing price. Thank you. I will be recommending this location read more

Smog check is fast. I didn't wait that long although there's a line up of people. Good job well done!

Quick and great price! This def my new spot! Also reminded me I could go to AAA to pay my registration instantly Thank you! read more

I was able to set up an appointment for a Saturday on short notice. My van needed smog check service and the owner was able to fit me in. He greeted me nicely and was able to get me in and out in 30 mins. My kids and I waited outside on their picnic chairs. The owner explained the DMV registration process and everything happened as explained. Thank you, STO! read more

Fast, and friendly service! Tip: schedule an appointment for even quicker service. I haven't had any issues with scheduling for the same day I call in. Go to their website to get a $10 coupon read more

I have been taking all of my vehicles here for the past 5 years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are very honest and flexible with scheduling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend. read more

Called at 9:50AM on a Friday morning to get my 4Runner smogged. The nice lady that answered the phone says they are available NOW! So, I said I'd be right over. Drove over, they brought it in and tested it right away. 20 minutes later it was done, I paid, and was on my way by 10:30AM. Friendly and fast! read more

First time here. Shop opens at 0830 I did not have an appointment and there was one car before me. Friendly service but don't forget to print out the coupon for $10 off. I got a smog inspection for a 2016 Honda Pilot which would have been $65 without the coupon. Waiting area can accommodate 6-7 seated and the same amount standing. Plenty of parking within private parking lot at the time of opening. The shop was easy to find and identify. In and out within 35 minutes read more

Quick job, got me right in before closing. Highly recommend this family owned smog station!

Fast, efficient and reliable. Mechanic knows his stuff and the office runs like a clock. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Make an appointment and be on time and you'll leave happy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mike H-T. read more

I'm a repeat customer here. Started out bringing my 2004 TSX here and now I bring all of my family's cars here when a smog check certification is needed. Best to make an appointment as they'll be taken care of first but walk-ins are welcome provided the appointment slots are not taken. Bright, clean, airy waiting area but you won't be sitting there long. Prompt courteous service. Fifteen to twenty minutes and you're done! read more

I've been coming to Tim to do my smogs for many years now. It's always been easy and quick. From my late 90s vehicle to mid 2000s, he's taken care of my biannual smog checks. It's conveniently located right off mirmar road, reasonable prices, and now can take of those pesky star ones too. I've been lucky to do walk ins and never had to wait more than 30 minutes. They do take appointments and would recommend it if possible. Support the small business and see them for you smog needs! read more

Called to see if I can schedule, he said asked me if I'm close and when I said yes, told me come in. It was quick, easy, and reasonably priced. read more

Quick and thorough service! Came here without an appointment and there was going an hour wait, but I asked if there's an available appointment later that day and there was! Easy drive way to drive up to and very friendly staff. They tested my car very thoroughly because in the past I've had it done at other places and it was just too quick.. suspiciously quick.. as if they didn't do a really do anything.. Anyway, the smog check cost $60 dollars but they had a $10 coupon online so it was $50 bucks. read more

Driveway is easy to get up to. It's shared parking with other businesses here. Place is located right off Miramar road. There's seating inside, chairs are a little dated but that's ok. There is a small TV in the customer lounge which is right next to the register. I made a call around 3pm and was able to bring my car at 4pm. Someone answered the phone right away. Their customer service is good. Sometimes the lady that does the register and answer the phones isn't the best with English, but it is manageable. My family and I have been coming here for years. They are honest and help you out with options if your car doesn't pass. I will be coming back anytime I need to smog any of my families cars and I will be recommending this place to family and friends. read more

Called up on a Tuesday at 8:30 for a smog test and scheduled it for same day at 9:30. My car was promptly worked in at 9:30 and trat was done in 20 minutes. With the $10 coupon in yelp, total cost only $50. I will use them again. People who didn't have a reservation had about a 45 minute wait. read more

Yesterday I got that dreaded letter from the DMV informing me that my registration was due in a couple of months - and not just that, I needed to have a smog test! Since I was off that day to take care of some other car-related stuff, I decided to have it taken care of and after some searching and calling ahead, drove up to Smog Test Only. Located in one of the many strip malls off of Miramar Road, this independent location only has one garage, but at least they were able to fit me in that late in the day. While the customer lounge is a bit outdated in terms of décor and chairs (not to mention having an old-school TV/VHS combo... at least it worked!), at least it's comfortable. As for the smog test - it passed (and with the new catalytic converter I had, it had better)! $60 total, and I was able to get it taken care of! Give this small place a shot the next time you need to have your vehicle's smog test done! read more

I was able to get in right away for my smog test. Extremely nice gentleman who ran the place. Very knowledgeable and shared things with me that I should get fixed the next time I have a service. Very grateful for his honesty. Would definitely go here again. read more

Very professional, prompt and efficient service and cost was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

Very quick and efficient! Under 20 min wait, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, not too expensive either.

If your car is a trash can with wheels like mine is, do it a favor and bring it here for smog check. I love the environment, but California's smog regulations are straight up ridiculous (they're even worse - hard to believe - for trash cans with wheels). My car has failed a bunch of times, so it's not to say this place is easy, but they were very accommodating, gave me $35 discount, and the best part was it took only 20 minutes after failing. Plus, they new I had been coming in and predicted that the car was going to fail again. So didn't charge me a dime for it and recommended that I change the converter and come back later in the week. I bring my car out from LA to get it smog checked and will continue to do it until it decides to spontaneously combust and I can finally buy myself a new car. Great place. Better staff. read more

VERY BEST smog test appointment I have ever experienced. When I arrived, they immediately guided my car into their service bay. Extremely professional, prompt, efficient, friendly (both technicians and front desk cashier) and expedient service. Comfortable lounge to wait in (but I didn't have to wait long). Accepted coupon they advertised. Transmitted certificate to DMV directly. Could not be more impressed with this business, or recommend them more highly. read more

Excellent experience. Really good value and turnaround time was excellent. I recommend this business for Smog checjs

Family owned business ran by two people. They're very kind and helpful and are willing to accommodate you, just call them and ask if you have any questions beforehand. Appointment is recommended but not needed, walk-in is welcome. No small talk, walk in, sign paperwork, get tested, and you'll be on your way. read more

Great, quick service. I called ahead of time and David let me know that they were open. When I showed up he told me to pull right up front and got to work. Had me out of there in less than 20 minutes. Only thing is this place is a little difficult to find. read more

Made an appointment for Saturday which was very convenient for my schedule. Terri took care of the process in front and Tim the smog. Very efficient service, even for my older vehicle smog. Estimate was up front and cost was very reasonable. They have been at this location for a very long time and I can see why! Great service, family owned and highly recommend. Thanks again !! read more
