STANDARD Smog Test Only - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

I inquired through Yelp to see how much it is and they responded within 5 minutes and was quoted a reasonable price. All my follow up questions that I had were in the response they gave me. I didn't even need to ask - Love that! I arrived around 11 ish on a Saturday and though there was a few cars in front of me, Mike said it would take maybe 40 ish minutes till he would be done with mines. I was totally fine waiting, I even stopped by Brewkies for lunch while i waited and Mike called right on time! Thank you Mike for your wonderful service! Now I have a reliable place to take my car and will recommend to anyone else I know that is in need of a SMOG :) Best part was I actually paid less than what I was quoted, hehe! read more

Great service, comfy waiting area, reasonable price ... what more can you ask for? They made getting a smog check pleasant! read more

I've been coming here for a couple years and I always have a great experience. They're friendly fast and affordable! 10:/10

Great experience. Very kind. Very quick . Affordable. And really nice shop. And dog friendly :)

Came in as a walk-in to get a smog test for my car, and they were super fast, friendly, and professional. There was 1 person ahead of me also getting their smog test, so I waited about 10 minutes for theirs to finish up, and then my turn took about 10 minutes. Normally I dread going to any car maintenance shop because some mechanics act very grumpy, but this place was great! read more

Came to get my smog check done without an appointment and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. When I first arrived, there was one person ahead of me, and once they were done, I showed him my DMV paper, signed a consent with the price listed ($65 for smog check and certificate). From there, they run the test and let you know if you pass or not, and the paperwork is automatically sent to the DMV. So all that is left is to pay your registration. Super convenient and quick service. Highly recommend coming here to get your smog check done! read more

Date of Visit: 2.26.2025 around 2pm for Smog Test on 2004 Toyota Corolla (STAR Required) Vibe: Homey Cost: $46.75 plus $8.25 certificate = $55 Scheduling: I used the Yelp project chat feature to find some suitable STAR Smog testers. It is first come first serve, and it is probably best to call 858-547-3922 (Phone number relevant as of 2.26.2025) to see if they are busy. Service Time: 20-25 minutes, they are quick with it! Parked the car, handed the keys and came back after a brisk walk. Customer Experience: The owner, a Korean gentleman, has one other person helping him. I mainly talked with the younger fellow. He is pretty straightforward with the help. The owner is pretty kind has waters and offered me a seat to wait. I appreciated the gesture. Would I come back?: Yes, support local business. Fast, efficient, and convenient. read more

David got me and out within 10 minutes. I made an appointment and was serviced immediately; this place is quite popular but David moves very quickly through all the cars. There is a seating area for customers while they wait. $55 for a smog check. Good deal! Will be back for my next smog check. read more

Regular smog check. It has a comfortable sitting area to wait. Quick service. It is good value.

Friendly, fast, efficient, clean, and very reasonably priced! I've found my new star smog test station!

Best place to have my Camry smogged. They offer the best price in town ($50 out the door including DMV certificate). I called in the morning and they offered me a spot in 30 mins. Drove over and only waited like 10 minutes ish and everything was done. I had a wonderful experience here and would bring all my family cars here for smog. Highly recommend! read more

Looked this business up on yelp and called for smog check service based on ratings. They finished the smog check by the time I sat down to write the paperwork for the service. Closest smog check off of Camino Ruiz in Mira Mesa. Best bang for the buck. Value is great. read more

Price was as advertised, work was done quickly, appointment was easy to set up. Painless and no complaints.

This location is awesome. I never have to make an appointment. The owner is so accommodating and very friendly! I drive from CV to Miramar bc this is my go-to spot for smog checks. I always ask the owner where his dog is, miss petting him. I hope his business stays for a very long time bc I'll keep coming here... read more

Perfect! The service is quick and very friendly. You can make an appointment, but you can also try coming in without one!

David is awesome. His customer service is great. Everything was a smooth process for my SMOG, especially as a walk-in customer near the end of the day. read more

Outstanding service! Came here to get a smog test done for my car registration renewal and it was the smoothest process ever. I didn't have an appointment, I did walk in and was taken in right away. I had a nice shaded area to sit and wait for the smog test to be done, and was given a bottled water to hydrate with while I waited, how thoughtful. The whole process took probably less than 15 minutes! It can be hard to find if you're driving fast, but luckily for me there was a bit of traffic when I went and didn't miss the turn ;) Highly recommended. Another bonus is it's a short drive from where I live! Will definitely be back for future smog test needs. read more

Fastest and nicest smog check that I've ever received. Felt like going to my Asian uncle's house. Called in July 3rd and asked if there were any appointments for the next two days and he welcomed any time during open hours. Ended up coming in the morning of July 4th with 2 cars and he had me in and out within 20 minutes! Briefly compared pricing with the other test centers in the area and definitely one of the cheapest. $55 for standard car smog test. Accepts card. read more

dude gets you in and out faster than the burger brand does. will drive your car up, slide under, slap the car around a bit and bam you're good to go, smogged and bogged hell yeah read more

Very friendly and fast, took 15 minutes with no appointment. I'll be going back and tell everyone I know about STANDARD SMOG ! read more

Amazing service! The gentleman was quick and easy and answered any questions I had. I was in an out in under twenty minutes. I would highly recommend going here for all smog checks. read more

Nobody looks forward to their smog test, right? So it's all about get it done, quick and correct. This place is awesome! Came recommended from others around the office, and pretty much went just like they said. For a basic (not Test-Only) smog test, it was all done from outside, car in Park. I've had Valet parking take longer than this smog test. Excellent technician, careful with the car, going through the steps like an clinical operation. Very clear about each step, and careful with the details. I'm keeping this pin on the map. It's behind Sattvik "impossible to park" Indian restaurant and a car dealer. Go straight back over the speedbumps. Don't miss the driveway from Miramar or it's a long turnaround. read more

Amazing experience! Unlike other smog test technicians, he's honest, direct and super efficient. The location is large and clean so I appreciated the space. Highly recommend as I am switching to this location for my smog from North Park Smog Test. Thanks again! read more

Yes, come to this place for your smog test! When the place I have gone to for years closed down, I panicked. Found this place on Yelp and the 5 star reviews are accurate. No appointments necessary. There were 2 customers ahead of me but I didn't have to wait very long. David went over the test results with me. He's personable and expedient. His price is very good, too! I'm happy to have my new smog test place for all of my cars. read more

We have brought our cars here for a smog for the past several years and each time we have always had a pleasant experience. I have an older model Lexus and the cost was $48. The smog check was quick and easy, and the service is always great from this small business located right off of Miramar Road. There are also other neighbors of mine that go to this establishment to support David's business and I encourage anyone needing a smog to take your business here. read more

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon for a smog test on my Camry. Super quick service. David is such a pleasant & knowledgeable man and I feel great supporting his business. Doing car stuff gives me anxiety usually, so I didn't expect to walk away looking forward to getting another smog test in the future LOL. read more

The perfect place for Smog Test! David was most helpful and got the job done quickly! He even pumped air into one of the tires that had a low pressure alert. read more

I've brought my car here for smog testing on two occasions and each time has been the same, that of being quick and affordable. Other than that, the gentleman who owns and operates the business is friendly and provides good conversation, which helps to not make the entire thing as tedious as it is. read more

The STAR Smog shop I usually go to closed down so I called to make sure Standard Smog Check was STAR certified, and they are!! I was able to go in on a Saturday afternoon and get a STAR Smog without an appointment. The entire process was pretty quick, I was seen immediately when I got there and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. The owner was super friendly and his prices are UNBEATABLE!!! My boyfriend got his STAR Smog check last week in LA and he literally paid DOUBLE the amount, so I HIGHLY recommend coming here!!! read more

My boyfriend recommended this spot for my smog test and it was so quick and easy. I was even offered a bottle of water and a couch to sit on while I waited but I barely had time to get comfortable before I was given the go ahead. It's located near me but even if I move away from Mira Mesa in the future, I'd make the drive just to come here. I'll definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a smog test in the future too. read more
