Easy access from Lincoln avenue

Every two years once the car is 5 years old in Cali. And all my cars are over five years old now. Granted everything is stock so no issues. No wheel dyno - pre 99 I think - which is a total paid if you need that. So fun.

I unexpectedly, at the 11th hour, found I needed smog test. I'd been here before with good results so I thought I'd try again. I rolled right in and was lucky to have no one ahead of me. My technician, AJ was quite friendly and the whole thing took about 15 minutes or so with a pass and at a reasonable cost. Thank you AJ & Smog Time. See ya again in 2 years!

Congratulations, you ripped off a little girl. My daughter brought her 2017 Civic these clowns and they charged her $64.75 for a smog cert without any repairs needed. It shouldn't be more than $35 on the high end. Creeps - Avoid them!

WOW! Fast and efficient. Maybe less than 10 minutes from start to finish per customer. AJ was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this place for your next smog check.

Needed Smog Check to renew my registration. Drove by and saw this smog check testing center. There were 2 cars ahead of me but it was fairly quick. Price was reasonable compared to other Smog Test Centers. Will come back again for my other cars. Thanks Frank!

Walk in, wait a few minutes, walk out and you're done. JC the mechanic was polite and pleasant. No wait time, just 1 other lady in the bay.

I have been coming to this place for a couple of years. He has smogged all of my cars. I have…read morereferred him to friends and family and they use them . However , my recent visit(12/20/25) has changed my view on them . Their smog tech's knowledge is lacking . My car's catalytic converter was stolen last year . We purchased all parts from the dealer and had them installed by a local reputable muffler location . ( catalytic converter , oem flange , oxygen sensor , gaskets , upper and lower shields misc hardware). We added a miller cat shield to protect it.. I brought him my car for a smog. He told me everything lookred good, except the visual? I said why? He told me that the catalytic converter was the incorrect one. I told him it was the OEM part from the Manfacture. He disagreeed. I told him i had the reciept from the dealer where the parts were purchased. He told me he wasn't going to charge me but to bring it back the car with the documentation. No failed docuemntation was handed to me . I printed all records from the online dealer purchase and returend. I was greated by a different smog tech. I told him that the previous tech told me to come back to smog the car. He reviewed the car and told me the car had failed. I was confused as the first tech didn't not say anyting about failing the car. I told the new tech that i had brought it this location. He asked for the documentation. I told him the gentlemen that reviewed the car told me he was not going charge and not docuemenation was issued. I told him that if the tech failed it you smog system should have a record. He goes and looks up the car to see who pefromed the test and found it was the smog station they run. He printed out the failed report The new techc said, come back when he is here as i don't why he failed it. I asked him when the tech will be back? He stated in 2 weeks? SMH.... 2 weeks? i can't wait that long. I reverted back to the smog /repair station i went prior to finding this shop(its closer to my home). Guess what it passed the visual. Never again will i come back. It is unfortunate. 2 stars, the lack of knowledge is unacceptable. The inablity to identify an OEM Catalytic converter from the Car's manufacture is a problem.

I went here on my lunch break, I had one car in front of me. I was in and out quick in 15 min and…read moregot lunch and went back home to werk:) great place, back of shell! 65$-70$ range Good customer service and clean station and good price value.
