    Smog Check Passed!
    Derrick E.

    Fernando was great! Super friendly, welcoming, and kind. Got straight to business and was very professional. Passed my test! Though out of my way and not in my city, definitely coming back here in two years.

    I went for a smog test on a Saturday afternoon and I was in and out in 10 minutes. They are friendly and the price was right. I was dreading this but it was so easy. Great location too.

    Needed to get my smog done and decided to come to this establishment that i have passed for years. Pulled up and was taken into the bay right away. The gentleman took my info and pointed me to a seating area. The work was fast and i was able to go continue on my day. I will be going to them for my smog checks going forward. Also, if you check in on yelp, you get a $10 discount.

    Quick. Great. Tentative. I always go to this place for my oil changes. They are also star certified which is required by the dmv.

    Great experience with Lomita Smog. I originally received a quote through Yelp and they honored it…read morewhen I arrived for my smog check--no bait and switch at all. Just note that the quoted price is for cash since they charge a small fee for credit cards. I wasn't aware of this until I was ready to pay, but luckily I had cash for it. The technician was patient, professional, and clearly knowledgeable. I also learned something new during the visit: California has implemented stricter requirements for smog testers, which now require technicians to visually inspect parts of the engine bay and emissions components. Because my car is a mid-engine sports car, the engine is covered and requires special tools to access. The technician explained that he couldn't perform the test if he couldn't visually inspect the engine, and it's not their responsibility to remove engine covers. At first I didn't realize this requirement, but when I asked if it would be okay for me to remove the engine cover myself and come back, he said that was perfectly fine. The inspection is needed so they can verify certain stickers and emissions components. Although it would have been nice to know ahead of time, I understand that they were simply following state rules and doing the job correctly. I went home, removed the cover, returned, and everything went smoothly. Overall, an honest shop, no surprises, and a technician who was doing things the right way. I appreciate their professionalism and would definitely come back again.

    Came in on a Sunday. Service was fast and technician was very friendly…read more Location is on Lomita just south of Western on a corner. Super easy to access. Highly recommend
