I've been coming here for years with each vehicle I have and anytime I needed service I could check with the Daniel next door regarding auto repair and I've always received exceptional service.

There was no one ahead of me and for being a return customer I get $15 off each time. The cost of the service typically is never more than $55. It use to be $45 but like everything else has gone up but not much it's was $53 this time. read more

Although the service here to smog a vehicle was quick (there was maybe 1 other person total there) the end of the transaction was where there were issues. I am not any means a car guy. The tech explained something wrong with a battery. I had no idea that tied into the smog and emissions at all causing the smog test to fail. I asked at the end if the smog passed and he rolled his eyes and said rudely "I just explained this to you." As a customer who drove half way across town to come here I don't need attitude thrown at me for a paid service. It's not that serious to get worked up over me asking a simple question. Your tone is everything with body language and he basically asked me without saying it "are you effing stupid?" for asking a question which I know nothing about. I would not recommend this place simply because the interaction I had with the tech was negative. He appeared to want to rush me out the door as well when this was done. There are tons of other smog places in town. I'd definitely research those places over this one. The parking lot is also cramped for space and parking appears reserved for only 2 spots at this building. The funny thing is there is a people love us on Yelp sign on their window. Not this guy. *Update: the tech at South Cal Smog told me to run the car to a mechanic and they would reset the computer for me for a fee. He doesn't know what he's talking about because our family mechanic who checked my car ran a diagnostic and told me to keep driving the car and the codes would reset themselves. Almost all of the codes were nearly reset by the time the car was checked out. This car will pass smog when the codes are cleared and for no fee!* read more

I called and was able to make an appointment for 8:30am the following morning. I arrived at 8:30 and was greeted by an employee. Everyone was following Covid protocols. The test took less than 10 minutes and another 5 for paperwork. My car passed and was told that DMV and AAA would be able see the certificate in their system and that i should wait 12-24 hours if I want to use a registration kiosk. Thank you! read more

Been going here forever. Great bunch of honest, hardowrking and nice as heck folk. Don't look any further for a smog place---these guys are the real deal. read more

Took my car there. The guy working told me he wouldn't smog my vehicle, because it had a Japanese motor replacement. I told him it was a direct replacement for the original. Told me I had to get a referee to authorize it. Spent a day or two contacting the referee and they basically told me what I already knew. It was a direct replacement for my motor and didn't need to be inspected. Sent me a email confirming it and this place would still not do it. Went to the star shop on Murphy canyon road at the chevron. Explained the situation to them and had my car smog in 30 min. Stop wasting peoples time with your misinformation. read more
