Kcm Test Only Center

Once again, excellent service from KCM. I came in without an appointment and was taken care of immediately. The gentleman there, I assume the owner, greeted and welcomed everybody as they came in and advised them he’ll take care of the immediately. Nobody seemed to mind, as there’s free refreshments.
If you’re in need of a smog check, KCM is definitely worth the place to come.
Hours:
Monday — Friday 9 – 6
Saturday 9 – 3

I drove down to kcm this morning to get my car smogged, in and out in 12 minutes flat. Incredible service, very fast and friendly.

Excellent — I arrived at 8:30, there was one customer in front of me and I was out the door within 15 minutes! Fastest smog check I’ve ever had. The guy was extremely nice and efficient. The cost was $ 39, well worth it. Also, their waiting room has free snacks and free beverages while you wait. I highly recommend this place!!!

I Have Been A Happy Customer Of Kcm Smog Test Center For More Then 6 Years!
The last 2 times I took my Dodge Truck in to Kcm to be smog tested, it failed. The first time it failed the smog test, Charlie suggested that I get the Catalytic Converter replaced, I took my truck to a muffler shop that was close to Kcm and had the converter replaced. I took it back to Kcm and my truck passed the smog test! (2 Years Later) The second time it failed the smog test, Charlie told me that he thought that the Upstream Oxygen Sensor was bad and needed to be replaced, I asked him if he could replace it for me and he said he could but I could save a lot of money if I replaced it myself, He explained that is was an easy job for me to do. Charlie also told me that there is an Auto Zone right down the street and the O2 sensor was about $ 50.00. I drove to Auto Zone and picked up the O2 sensor for $ 48.00 + Tax. I took the sensor home and had it changed in 30 minuets. I took my truck back to Kcm, Retested and passed the smog test! I told Charlie that I have been to many other smog check stations and NONE of them would give me any help or suggestions on how to get my truck to pass the smog test! Charlie is an Honest and very Smart man! Charlie at Kcm treats me very well every time I go into get my smog test done!!! I see someone has left a NEGITIVE Feedback and that is a bunch of BS! Kcm is a GREAT place to have your car and or truck worked on! Reasonable Prices, Employees That Know What They Are Doing and 1 of the most Honest shops around! Thank You Charlie For All Your Help!!! I will see you on my next visit.

Back to KCM again for a smog test and everything was handled in a timely manner with excellent service. I wish more businesses had the work ethics as this place does.

Very friendly and courteous. I went in at about 8:30am on a Wednesday and was the only customer. It was very quick, in and out, thank you very much.
I was referred to KCM by Hank’s Auto in Lomita, which, along with Lee’s Tire are places in this area we have trusted for years as honest shops.
I also believe the negative review is either a competitor or someone who may have been complaining about the fee for testing an older «High Emitter Profile» vehicle such as the one I brought in. The complete bill was presented for me to sign before the test began and that is exactly what I was billed after passing.

Don’t know what Simon from Beverly Hills is on.
The guy was courteous enough but his behavior made me leave and go somewhere else. Took in a 1992 Buick that needed smog and he found some anti-​freeze by the thermostat and told me I had to get it fixed before he would test the car. I asked if that was a CA State requirement and he said no but he was worried about the radiator exploding! ???
Went down PCH to H1 Smog and was in and out in 20 minutes no problem

Quick and friendly service. Was recommended to go to this location and glad I went.

Moved here from TX and took both of my cars (BMW and Jeep) over there. Very, very helpful and knowledgeable. Not sure what the one star reviewer was talking about since I was definitely not scammed at all. Will send my wife’s car over there when it’s time for her smog check.

With all the smog centers out there, it is very hard to find a reputable and trust worthy center. Smog prices are competitive, but I also want to make sure my car is taken care of properly because I know nothing about cars. For those of you out in the Unilocal world looking for the right smog center– Search no more! This is the place to get your smog check… efficient and fast. I was immediately greeted and the smog tech took care of my car. The prices are very fair and the service was very friendly. I will definitely come back when it is time for my other cars to get smog checked as well as recommend this place to my friends and family. Thanks again!

Have had both cars tested here for many years. Honest guy will not be bribed and witnessed this the last smog check we had there. Some guy came in and tried to make it worth wild if he would pass him. He declined! Principled man! Prices are comparable.

I have been going here for years as have family members. GREAT service; no b/​s fees. I am not sure why the negative post for this kind man and shop — maybe the competition needs to make KCM less attractive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Love the service. Very professional and prices are exceptional. Take care of my 2005 Audi needs with hesitation, when every other shop refuse to give a simple diagnosis. Had to wait a lil Lo. her then expected since parts aren’t usually stocked. But other wise parts where replaced and and I am completley satisfied. will recommend!

Please avoid this place if you can. Prices are lousy, and there’s no effort to be competitive.
The owner/​operator is a double talking scam artist, We’re talking extra fees, undisclosed bs. He’ll also tell you how he can’t compete with other shops and that he’s losing his house.
Buyer beware.
