Corona Smog & Lube

My 1^st time here. Drove in then outta there so fast, even before you can check emails, Facebook or calling someone (under 10 min) or type this review. This is the fastest, most efficient smog shoppe I brought my car in, compared to many others that I visited in the past. Well, I might’ve come in at a time that they weren’t too busy, but still, it saved me tons of precious time!
Price seems to fair. Service, awesome! See John (manager?) if you have any questions.
I’m definitely coming back and recommend them to people I know.
Thanks a bunch, guys!

No appointment needed! Quick service!
I went there to get my car checked for the smog test. My mom recommended me this place and let me know that we are members at this location. It is really easy to locate, google maps took me right to the place. It is located in the private parking lot so there is ample amount of the parking — it is basically all auto shops, oil checks, smog check shops in the same complex. In regards to getting out of the complex I would recommend to get out from the exit that requires you to take a right turn on the sixth street. Incredibly convenient that way.
I walked in without an appointment, there was an older gentleman and he was very helpful. He explained to me everything and gave me the estimate before they started the work. I came prepared with a book to read expecting it to wait but I was surprised that it was done within 15 minutes. There is a couch and few chairs to sit while waiting along with a small flat screen T.V. and water station. The waiting area is kept pretty clean. By the time service was done he let me know that that third smog test will be half the prize because I have already got the services twice. The technician was very nice as well, he greeted with a huge smile and also wished me with a good day while I was leaving.
P. S. The older gentleman after taking my payment forgot to give me back my car registration and thank god I realized that before I pulled out of the parking lot.

If you expect to go here and drive thru (they do claim to be a drive thru, after all), and not have to get your 2 small children out of the car, don’t. I found this place online after specifically looking for a drive thru smog station because I had my two littles with me and could not be waiting in a dinky little auto shop waiting room for any amount of time. I printed out a coupon and headed over. There were a bunch of cars waiting, not a good sign since the website claims «no waiting.» I pulled into the place and waited several minutes before anyone came to help me. Then a man who seemed to be running the place came and tried to tell me to back out. He barely spoke English and was gesturing, so it took me a minute to realize he was asking me to back out so the girl in front of me could get out. Okay. Did that. Then when I pulled back in, he asked me to get out of my car and step into the office. I told him I had my 2 little kids in the car, but the car was right next to the office, so I just stepped in quickly. After giving him my paperwork, he told me to bring my kids inside and wait!!! What??? I said, «Okay, I’m going somewhere else then,» and went to get my registration paperwork from him, and he pulled it away!!! He got all irritated with me. I told him I wasn’t getting my two little ones out of the car. (One was in his jammies and the baby was very tired). He got all rude in my face and asked me (in his broken English) if I was going to test the car myself. He said drive thru does not mean you actually stay in your car and drive through!!! Well then what exactly does it mean if not that??? I was so annoyed. He was so rude an unprofessional. I was in shock at the way he spoke to a paying customer. The only reason I ended up staying was because the nice young man who actually performed the check just drove up to the machine while I was in the passenger seat and my kids were in the back and performed the check with us in the car. So ridiculous. Like I couldn’t have driven up to the machine myself and just gotten out for him to plug it in??? He is the only reason I gave this place even one star, along with the fact that 0 stars is not an option on Unilocal.Then I had to go in again to pay. This place is ridiculous and I will absolutely never go there again.

Technician is very kind and helpful. Don’t know what has happened to the owner… Used to be helpful and friendly now he is cold and not the least bit appreciative of returning regular customers. so we will not be returning. We
have found a wonderful place.

Great service! Fast and simple, in and out on my lunch break!

Print out the coupon online to get smog for $ 40 with certificate. Retest is $ 15.
I didn’t pass the 1^st time because I just had my engine light reset for repairs so I hadn’t driven far enough. He told me exactly what I needed to do to be able to pass. Drive 15 miles, let my car idle for 3 mins, then park for at least an hour… Three times.
Came back and my car passed.
Lost a star due to a comment I felt was a little rude and unnecessary by the owner. If I hadn’t only needed the retest I would have left and taken my business elsewhere.

This place is awesome. They are so fast. I was in and out in 10 minutes and they were super friendly. I highly recommend this place!

First time here. The place was quick and easy! $ 40 out the door since it was my first smog check there!

I don’t have much to say about this place. It is a nice little, convenient drive through smog center. Recently came her to get an older car smogged for my grandparents and they were able to get the smog check completed within 20 min and at a reasonable price. The place was clean, the employees were nice and the service was quick. No complaints

Fastest service I have experienced in my life to get a smog test AND only $ 40 with coupon. Felt like 9 minutes and out of there!
Great job Mr Koh.
:))

VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS PLACE! I took my truck to get smog, the guy doing smog test knew my truck required a K/​N certificate to pass. They would of received a satisfactory review if they would of been honest from the beginning; the truck passed but did not pass visual because it needed a certificate for the K&N since they had to open hood to hook up smog test equipment to the truck. As a customer not knowing this was the first year that a certificate was required for the K & N equipment to pass smog (in prior years one was not required), like I said they SHOULD OF BEEN HONEST FROM THE START they had to hook up equipment they purposely knew what they were doing and not telling me about certificate is not a way to do business.

Came in on a Saturday as I’m super busy during the week. Didn’t need an appointment, simply walked in, drove up and was in n out within 20 minutes.
Price was extremely fair considering what I am use to paying. 45 bucks including certificate for a truck. Service was courteous and an overall pleasant experience on a not so pleasant errand. Plan on bringing future smogs here from now on.

I stopped on by in the morning here to get the smog done for my car. I had seen their work before when my boyfriends car had gotten the smog done, it is at a reasonable price, and fast service. I think I only waited 15 – 20 min.

Standard smog place. In and out. Nice people.
I don’t know how you become a member so expect to pay $ 50. I showed them the coupon on line. You have to print it out and give it to them before you fill out any paper work. (It does say this on the coupon). I think it would be more customer friendly to honor the deal, I mean it shows you went to their web site which helps them out.

Trust Unilocal!and it will guide you correctly again!
This place as super quick, super easy, and close to everything. Literally $ 40 out the door and was in/​out in 15 minutes. Staff was courteous and kind, and just made life easy. I cannot ask for more from a smog only place.

Came in before work and got a smog done at what I consider a fair price. The gentleman at the front was very courteous and honored the prices I’ve seen in other posts. I only came here because of the great Unilocal reviews and it didn’t let me down. Come here if you want quick, quality service! (btw I was in and out in under 15 minutes)

Great place.
In and out in a half hour. Print the coupon on their website.

Quick and friendly service was in and out in less than 20 minutes! Drive thru service is definitely a plus.

Fast service and great price …

Went in at 11:20am and left at 11:50am. It was quicker than other places that I’ve been to. The guy that works there told me the price over the phone (50.00) and that’s exactly what it was out the door. (My car is older than a 1995 FYI). All you do is drive up, give them your paperwork and briefly wait. It you get there between 8am — 11:30am you’re pretty much set up for a short trip. TIP! Its on Smith St in the back of the parking lot across from Jack in the Box. It’s a little hidden but you can still see it from the street if you looking specifically for it. The guy was really nice as well. Small place but efficient. Oh! I also lost my gas cap 2 months ago and never replaced it. They have them for sale there if you need one. Pretty Convenient!
