Came into Tile's clinic to get smog for our SUV (added charge for larger vehicles) and walked out in under a half hour, and for a good price! The staff is super friendly and make the process very easy. No wait time and everything done with a smile. I will happily recommend this place ! read more

So easy! So fast!! Prices are incredible!! Ahmad was so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable!! Highly recommend!

Process was easy and fast and very friendly staff. Got my Tesla done without even waiting

Was referred to them by a friend and it was such a quick and easy process. Called ahead to see if I needed an appt for a smog check and they said no, drove over, waited about 10 minutes behind 2 cars and then it was my turn, and 5 minutes later I was down. They were very friendly and will continue to go back to them for anything I need read more

Do you know what I like about the California DMV? Nothing. Just standing in lines for hours just to fill out the wrong form and go to the other 'wrong form' line. Then you stand and sit for hours - just praying for death. Enter UMI's 'I-do-most-things-the-DMV-does-but-way-better' Smog. OK - I added the middle - but it's all true. I had to get tags & title for a car I bought out of state. Mo did an AWESOME job - was managing 3 customers all at once. I really appreciated the customer service. Now - there is a slight surcharge for the service, but it's totally worth it to visit the DMV. read more

Dr. DMV and Nasar are the best! Very quick, friendly service! I arrived without an appointment around 9:30 and only had to wait about 10 min. Will definitely come back next time I need a smog check and send friends/family! Thanks again :) read more

My first time I needed to do a smog check &. they helped me get it done quickly. Very friendly and knowledgeable service.

yea..probably a good place to go IN PERSON wouldn't recommend calling them over the phone because they talk over you and barely let you get a word out. Told them I needed a Title transfer because my mom passed away last month and every place has been giving me problems about her not being able to sign it over since she's passed. I never really write any reviews but it was a dehumanizing experience to have someone talk to you like they couldn't care less about what you have going on and just want your money. I could barely get my hello in without being interrupted. They could be a good service in person considering they won't have the guts to talk to you the way they would in person as they do over the phone. Good Luck. read more

I came on my lunch break to Tag Clinicc and I was in and out. Mohammed helped me with excellent customer service.

I came from Out-of-State and friend recommended I make an appointment. I came to my appointment with my smog check already performed. They were super nice, and professional and were able to accommodate my early arrival to the appointment. All was quick and easy. Then came the bill which included a $180 in fees on top of the DMV fees, a total of almost twice the bill I would have at the DMV alone. THEN, I was told I needed to return the next day for my plates. They promised to call or I should call them if I had not heard from them by 4pm. The next day there was no call by 4pm and they did not answer when I called. I had the privilege of returning to them during rush hour traffic, doubling my commute, as it was the only day I could return. When I arrived they were slammed. They said they would be right with me as something had gone wrong with my DMV plate submission and I owed more money before I could have my plates. They did not get back to me for another half hour but told me the DMV had made an error. They fixed it in less then a couple of minutes before giving me my plates. I again got the privilege of sitting in rush hour traffic for an extended amount of time. My partner was in the same situation when she was returning from out of state. She went to the DMV with a smog check: the same as how I arrived at Tags Clinic. She spent FAR LESS time obtaining her items in one trip to the DMV after I recommended she skip Tags Clinic. Though Tags Clinic was professional, I felt incredibly ripped off and that my time was wasted. Two stars are for the staff and professionalism minus the unkept promise of calling me back or answering the phone. read more

Great customer service, efficient and cost effective. Thank you! Will definitely recommend to others

Quick work at an affordable price. I was impressed that the owner completed the smog for my car so he could give a day off to his staff. Quality work by a quality person- thanks Tags Clinic! read more

After a small staff blunder, Ahmed reached out to offer a solution for my troubles. Impressed by his proactiveness.

Amazing service, extremely friendly. Couldn't be more thankful that they helped me thru the process of out of state registration without having to go to DMV. Quick service at an affordable/reasonable price, got my plates same day. Thank you Dr. DMV! read more

Service was quick. They have a drive thru which made it more convenient. Juan Carlos habla español y con muy buen carisma. read more

Tags Clinic - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

I needed a VIN verification. I had tried AAA and was given the run around. I did some searching and found Tags Clinic. They were able to come out and provide their services same day, within a few hours from our initial call. They made the process very quick and easy for us. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again if we needed it. read more

My mom found this place online, and I had an amazing experience! Sierra and Juan Carlos made the process of an out-of-state title transfer incredibly fast and easy. There was barely any wait time, and they walked me through everything thoroughly. If you ever need a title transfer or a smog check, I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

The DMV stresses me out. SO I was a bit behind on car related tasks and decided to come here instead of trying to figure it all out for myself online or at the actual DMV. This was SO much easier. I didn't even have to get out of my car. There was a short wait, they were pretty busy, but were definitely moving through everyone as quickly as they could. (I might have also come when some people were on a lunch break, it looked like more people were working towards the end of my visit.) Once it was my turn the whole process was way easier than I was expecting. Everyone was really friendly and took care of everything for me. I just had to verify that the information was entered correctly. I'll come back when it's time for renewal! read more

I have been coming to these guys for years. They always take care of me fast. Haven't set foot in a DMV in years thanks to these guys. Great service every time!! Highly recommend read more

I cannot recommend Tags Clinic enough!! The entire staff was SO incredibly helpful as I was trying to get my car to pass its smog check after replacing the battery that morning. Their onsite smog guy is truly a knowledgeable expert, and the office staff helped me get my tags immediately with ease. I will never step foot into a DMV or other smog place ever again when you can get everything done at Tags Clinic as a one-stop shop!! THANK YOU! read more

The very best, at the best price anywhere! These guys are the best super professional super kind and very detailed oriented! I left the smog with more important knowledge and understanding. Very fast and efficient, if I could give 6 stars I would! I was shopping around and I can promise you TAGS is where you need to be. read more

Attention Yelpers. If you go in with a Groupon you save one Penny. $39.00 for the Groupon and another $10.00 when you get there. Why can't they just be up front from the beginning with Groupon and say it's $50.00? read more

It was a little confusing at first to figure out where to park my vehicle in order to be seen, but they actually want you to enter on the right and drive around the back as if it were a drive-in. Other than that, this tiny business gets things done at an extremely affordable rate. I found a Groupon and it worked out wonderfully. read more

The owner was wonderful. Fast service and provided a lot of value for the service requested. I highly recommend coming here if you need to get your smogged and/or need tags. They do it all with no lines! Greatest value to come my way everything I needed done. 1-stop shop! read more

Made getting my smog checked and transferring title from an out of state vehicle so easy. Took less than an hour and I was a walk in. Ahmed and Juan Carlos were incredibly kind and helpful. Paid a very reasonable price for all the services I had done. Quick and easy read more

Needed my tags asap and did not want to go to dmv. Mo was so helpful and they were super transparent on their fees- which were totally reasonable. Very happy and will def be back. read more

Seriously amazing service, it's no surprise that they're 5 stars on Yelp. I came in today to get my out-of-state car registered and they were so helpful and quick! (On Labor Day and during COVID, too). They were upfront with prices, the process, and how long I should expect it to take to get my plates. They were informative and professional. They're wearing masks and are offering a convenient drive-thru service. Will definitely come here for all future services. read more

Shiny smiling happy people is what you'll encounter when you go here. I went in to get the required California smog test to plate my car. I called around to about a dozen places to get quotes and finally decided this one's price was just right. Haji quoted $40 out the door if paying in cash plus using the Yelp check-in offer of 10% off. Can't go wrong with that. No appointment was necessary. Haji said just to come right in, they weren't that busy. The place is a little difficult to maneuver around in since there are a lot of cars parked that they are working on. Some nimrod was blocking the "out" driveway, and wasn't anywhere to be found, so I had to do a 3-point turnaround & go out the "in" driveway. No big deal. Located on the corner of University Avenue & 39th. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes, including the necessary paperwork that's needed by the DMV. The guys were funny, always cracking jokes with all of their customers, making the vibe there very friendly & laid back. The girls working the front desk also were friendly too. You can't go wrong going here to get your vehicle smog tested. Highly recommend! read more

Tags Clinic - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Diego, California

Through Groupon I discovered this Smog Testing site. My vehicle did not successfully pass the smog test the first time. A staff member stated I can get tested again within 30 days free of charge. Due to a car accident and other circumstances I was not able to return until months later. When I returned to the site I explained to Juan that my vehicle did not pass when I first visited; and, due to life challenges I was just not able to return sooner. He explained that I would have to re-purchase the smog test which was totally understandable. I showed Ricardo the discount I received on Groupon and he provided a discount for my new smog test. Fortunately my SUV passed the smog test! Juan and Ricardo were kind and professional. They made me feel comfortable and took well care of me. This is where I will be having my smog test for the foreseeable future and I highly suggest you get them done here as well! read more

Needed a smog check and they are open on Sundays. Drive thru and took me an hour. Might have been less but only one tech available at that time. I did make an appointment on the website but didn't really matter. Just drive in to get in line. Friendly service. The car ahead of me had Florida plates. She had them change to California plates so they do offer that service as well. I would definitely come back. read more

Ricardo has taken care of me 2 years in a row! It's super easy to make an appointment, convenient location off the 15 freeway. My first visit was to switch registration from out of state to in state + smog car. It took less than 45 mins. Most recently we renewed our registration, smog, & updated an address. Super quick, about 30 mins. You do pay a convenience fee, but I'd pay it all day with this stellar service. We will always come back! read more

Miguel was very friendly and helpful, we went in and out of there in less than 30 minutes; he charged us a fee that I considered very reasonable. I would recommend this place for smog check to my family & friends! read more

Came here a few times and I kid you not, amazing service! I have done out of state title transfers, in state title transfers and registration renewals. The employees are always so nice and helpful. Way better and more efficient than the dmv. I don't mind paying extra to be able to be treated the way they have! I went to them again today for a title transfer and registration transfer, I can't find anything wrong with this establishment! Always treat you with respect and work diligently! Thank you UMI! read more

We came in to do registration, it got it done in no time, Mowlana, Hari and Mike were awesome! Super friendly and informative. They charge ~$80 for their service on top of DMV fees + other mandatory costs ( smog check, vin verification etc ) , but it is totally worth it. The same would take a day to do at DMV. read more

See all

Worth every penny of the service charge. The service was quick and efficient, contrast that to the dmv where you lose 2 hours you'll never get back waiting in a line just to be told you have the wrong paperwork. Not to mention the customer service, the guy that helped me was super helpful and knowledgeable, again comparing that to the dmv where the employees treat you like trash for making them do their job. I failed the smog check and he told me exactly what to do to pass the next time. I did as he instructed and the next day I passed. I was able to get my out of state vehicle registered in less than 30 minutes. If you value your time and your mental wellbeing, go here. read more

Very responsive to online inquiries, friendly service, quick service, competitive price. Couldn't be any better.
