Great experience with The Smog Men in the city of Whittier! He smogged my car quickly and professionally with no hassle at all. Great customer service, very friendly, knowledgeable, and the prices were really fair. You can tell he cares about his customers and takes pride in his work.

Outstanding Service! Fast, friendly & professional! I highly recommend Smogman! I had an excellent experience with the owner of Smogman and can't recommend him enough. From the moment I arrived, he was very friendly, polite & professional, which made my smog test stress free. The smog check itself was very fast and efficient, he clearly knows exactly what he's doing. He explained everything clearly, answered my questions, and treated me with real respect. If you're looking for a honest, reliable and quick smog test, this is absolutely the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending him to coworkers, friends and family. read more

I was quoted $50.00 over the phone, but when I arrived, the price was $75.00. After some negotiation, he lowered it to $50.00 but then add on a retest fee of $35.00, bringing the total to $85.00, which is excessive. His claims of not making any money are clearly misleading and unprofessional. Never will I go there. read more

I am really surprised that good Customer Service still exist. Albert who works at Smogman really went above and beyond helping me out. I have phoned other Test Center and they are all for profit and does not want to run diagnostic on my car without charging for a fee. Smogman checked my vehicle for free to see if it can pass a smog test. After running diagnostics, he suggested that it should be good for a smog test since I ran it for over 100 miles and check engine did not light up. Thankfully, it passed. Others are charging me $40 just to look at it. This guy is very honest and willing to help out. read more
