Your Smog Shop

I came here after my car had been repaired (because I’m an idiot) and it failed. The price was originally going to be $ 47, but got knocked down to $ 36. The test itself was super fast, and the guy was nice and backed my car out for me. This is important as the exit was practically impossible to see out of as there were cars blocking the view of oncoming traffic. As it was I still had to stick my nose in the way of traffic to even see if it was safe. So I wasn’t fond of the location. Another highly rated place on Convoy I found is around the same price, but doesn’t charge you if you fail. It also has a better waiting area (but the wait is longer).

I hate taking my car in for smog or repair in general. I used to feel uneasy about my repair shop. I found this place on Unilocal,good reviews that are accurate. Fred the mechanic that helped me was sincere and easy to talk to. I already have taken two of my vehicles there and going to take my daughters car for service. I feel confident that the work being done is needed and for a fair price

Professional, fast, and friendly. I called to let him know I was going to be on the way and to ask about general information. I decided to go later and he courteously called me to let me know he’d be out for 30 minutes for lunch. Only took 15 minutes. And with the discount for check-​in I only paid 43.35!

I needed a smog and met the owner Fred. Extremely nice and polite. Price is reasonable and smog was fast; about 15 min. He has coupons in the neighborhood fliers once in a while. Thanks Fred!

This place is legit. I failed a smog check at another place and they recommended I go here to have the diagnostic test done. Test was $ 85. National auto repair chains were $ 160. Once the test was complete Fred called me to quote me on the repair. He told me $ 98. I said fix it. Got there and the total price was $ 98. $ 85 to diagnose and $ 13 for the vacuum tube. I have no doubt the national chains would have charged me $ 100 labor to install a $ 13 piece plus the $ 160 for the diagnostic. I’m glad I went here. Highly recommend!

Went here two days in a row during «open» hours and it was closed both times. Wtf? So annoying.

Quick and easy! Smog check only took about 10 – 15 mins as there was only one customer in front of me. Owner was very nice. Honored 10% Unilocal coupon. Walked out with only paying $ 42 for a smog check on a 2006 car.

This place is great. Called around to check prices and this is the cheapest one I found, and all the great reviews didn’t hurt. I was in and out of there within 20 minutes and the owner was very nice. When I need to, I’ll be coming back here!

Quick service only took 10 – 15 minutes. I arrived there and was quickly greeted by the owner who was very nice. He even reversed my car so I could pull out easily, which was also described by another review. I waited in the waiting area which had a couple couches. Skimmed through some TIME magazines and he was done. I also checked in on Unilocal to receive my 10% my total came in to about 43 $ with certificate after the discount. I would be coming back here again when I have to get my next smog check.

Did a walk in today, and was out in about fifteen minutes. The guy was super nice and efficient. Highly recommend them.

In and out in 15 minutes, as advertised! I checked-​in on Unilocal and received 10% off for a total of $ 42, including the certificate (some places charge you for this). Also, the owner is really nice and polite and he is subscribed to TIME magazine, so you will never be bored while waiting; I almost wanted him to take longer so I could keep reading! Anyway, if you need to get your car smoged, this is the place!

The overall experience here was very pleasant. When smog check was nagging me, I opted to look through the Pennysaver catalog for smog check places. I found the one that has great Unilocal reviews so I decided to take a chance on t his place.
When I arrived, friendly gentleman approached me to see what I need and I told him that I need the smog check. There was one person ahead of me but even so, it didn’t take that long. Maybe 10, 15 mins at the most. It surprised me.
They did not take long to service my vehicle. I was not there that long so everything was in order. Maybe 15 mins at the most? It just feel like it went really quickly. I did not have to resort to watch stuff on my phone.
They accepted the coupon that I brought so it only cost me less than 40 bucks, which is good. The friendly gentleman has been nothing but very pleasant and cool to me.
I can definitely recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.

Great experience! Smog check was done in 15 minutes after I did a 5:30PM walk-​in. It only cost $ 42.75 for my 2006 model car. Owner was very helpful and pleasant.
No frills, just good service at a good price. What more do you need when getting a smog check?

This place was great. I checked out the review on Unilocal and headed over on thursday morning around 10am. Its in the western tow yard and its easiest to park out side the yard and walk in to the shop (no signs) there was one car in front of me, the owner told me to take a seat in the waiting area, finished up and got my keys and paper work and finished everything in about 15 – 20 min. He let me know i needed a new gas cap and was quick and professional. i’ll be back next time!

In and out 15 minutes as stated. Fair and reasonable price. Finishing touch, he backed my car out of the one lane driveway onto El Cajon Blvd. and parked my car on the street so that I could just drive away after paying. I’ve been here before and will go again.

Fast, courteous, and fairly priced. I only needed my car to be smogged, but came in last minute toward the end of the day. Not only was the owner able to fit me in, he found an unrelated problem that (thankfully) will be easy to fix.
I’d come back again next time I need my car smogged.

I needed a smog check ASAP! I came here last year also. The gentlemen that performed the test was very friendly. I showed him my Unilocal discount and he applied that to my payment. I was in and out of there within the hour. Thank you for the great service!

Courteous, fast, efficient, clean and competitive pricing. Why go anywhere else?

I’ve been going here for years. Good service, friendly and professional.
The rates are good. Does not really do appointments, but you can call ahead to find out if there is a wait, when you are ready to go in.

Prices vary due type of vehicle (truck, car, etc) but the service was fast & professional. As the previous review mentioned, took 15 — 20 mins total but would definitely would go back!!!
