L2 Smog

Incredibly fast and wonderful customer service! First time here and although it looks a little run down, it’s by far the best smog testing center I’ve ever visited. Will go here every time in the future!

This place might look kinda run down but the service is great! They are a SMOG ONLY shop and they don’t do any repairs. I have been here a few times over the last 3 years. I smog my mom’s Honda Insight recently was in and out in 15 mins for $ 35 bucks. The younger guy is pretty cool to talk to and very helpful.

This is the fastest of 7 smog places I’ve been too (honest!) There’s no nail biting, cramped waiting room with magazines that don’t interest you. No zzzzz zzzzta ta ta ta ta ta ta Impact wrench deafening your ears

Best smog station in town, affordable prices and speedy service… Highly recommended!

I took my car for a smog here due to the great Unilocal reviews. As usual, Unilocal didn’t let me down! The staff was great, and my smog was done in less than 10 mins! I also liked that the smog technician was confident that I would pass despite my car being lowered and all. He could of made some extra money on a pre-​test, but he told me that it should be fine and pass, which it did :). I found my new smog place in San Diego!

I just set up their Unilocal page. Can’t believe they didn’t have one. They have been taking good care of me for years! The coolest guys and Lan is a rock star! Also they are fast and get you in and out lickety-​split. Always go above and beyond. Thanks guys, see ya again

I went to a smog place down the street, I’m not going to mention any names but they said that they could not smog my truck because I had an after market k&n cold air intake on it. They also told me to put the original back on or if I didn’t have them go to the junk yard and get one.
Anyway found this place called them up to verify the information I just got. He set me straight and told me to bring it in. Long story short no problem smoking it.

Truly awesome smog check. In and out in 10 minutes, great customer service. Y’all are definitely doing something right! Thank you!

Back here again and this time they have new pavement, more plastic chairs and the same ol’ charm! There is no stopping this place now. I heart this place.

Normally I dread smog notices but I finally found a place I’ll be returning for it each time!
I took my boyfriends car in to get one first thing in the am. Super friendly service and attitude of the employee (possible owner), speedy service and a great job all around. Highly recommend this place for your car needs!

I was recommended to this Smoge site (star one) by my mechanic!
I just got there, filled my info and signed it…
5min afterwards I was done!
he said he is gonna send the results to DMV by himself!
easy like 1 2 3… done!
I have a 2008 2.5S Altima!

In 2013, I went back for my 16-​years old Toyota with over 200k miles. I didn’t really prep the car for a smog check like having a tuneup done in advance, driving it a little while so that engine was warm enough and so on (whatever desperate acts that I needed to do for the test). I just simply drove to L2 after it was parked days at home.
I think it can make a big difference how a tester operates your car during a test. If your tester is blindly stepping on gas pedal, like one of the three stooges, obliviously chances of passing the test are not very good. Well, my car passed the test but one of those things called HC was at the max. whew.

This place was recommended to me by my dad. I went out here at 9 am and left by 9:10 am!
This place specializes in smog checks. They provide fast and professional service. I highly recommend it.

We had a great experience: they are competent, nice, honest and fast!

Cannot beat the service I came in at 9:30 AM and was out in 10 minutes guys super chill super cool.

Brought my other car today for smog and was in and out in 15 minutes tops. Great service like always.

I brought my 2000 Toyota celica in here a few weeks ago. I was skeptical about my car passing smog because on the car fax it had that it failed prior to me owning it. So I called and asked if I need to make an appointment and they verified that I could just come whenever I wanted.
I pulled up and thought I was at the wrong place because there are older cars parked in front and it didn’t seem legit. I was skeptical but decided to go ahead and try them out.
I am so glad I did!!! There was a guy in front of me, they asked me to fill out some paperwork and wait just a few minutes. That’s exactly what I did, sat on their furniture in their shop, right in front of the tv that was playing judge Judy. I watched tv for about 5 minutes, and as I was indulging in judge judy, he told me I passed my smog and I was good to go!!!
What… no… I was just now getting into judge judy but was quickly relieved when i knew I had passed my smog. The guys working there were VERY polite and i would recommend this whole in the wall smog place to anyone!

Fast
Friendly
Affordable
45 smog check in less than 15min
Will send people I know there and will be back when I need to sell my Suburban. :)

Hillcrest Auto recommended since it’s a Star station and I have a «mature» car. Since the engine light was an homeboy said it wasn’t going to pass but would run it anyway so we can narrow down what is wrong with the car.
So it didn’t pass but since my registration was due he said go online and pay it so you will not be past due and pay the late fees. Hey I didn’t know you can do that, thanks buddy!
Took my car to a couple places to get the sensors fixed after $ 500 car repair I came back and it passed with flying colors. Homeboy is super fast and a cool guy. Totally legit

Every time I open my registration renewal I cringe if it’s time for a smog check. It’s such a hassle to get it taken care of.
This place actually makes the process of getting a smog check enjoyable.
–it was quick, in and out in less than 10 mins
–good service, the guy working was super friendly
–convenient, just west of the 15 on El Cajon Blvd
Granted when I drove up I wasn’t sure I wanted to go through with using this place. It looked kinda messy. I’m super glad I didn’t turn around though. I know I’ll be coming back and letting my friends know about this place.
