Pacific Auto Smog Station

Had my 1996 Honda Civic LX smog checked yesterday, Ali was awesome! Friendly, professional, quick. I will come here each time I need to. Very happy

I smoked my car last year and because of some weird ca laws had to do it again this year. I called a couple of places in the area and prices were about $ 50 or $ 70… I called this smog station and was asked how did I hear about them. I told him that I saw ad online for $ 38, the person on the phone said he would do it for me for $ 38. Smog was fast, my car passed. I liked the service!

Ali is helpful and does his job very quickly… super quick smog test completion center …

The cheapest around if you have the pennysaver coupon. But be prepared to get a n as ty look from the owner.

I needed a smog check right away and the bay in this place was open. NOW I KNOW WHY!
The Smog Tester FAILED the check because the Catalytic Converters didn’t have the right part number for my vehicle. The Cats are 8 – 9 years old (the originals had to be changed because they were failing smog) and have passed smog numerous times before without incident.
It cost me $ 70 to hear that I failed and «Blame the ARB» (Air Resources Board).
Go Elsewhere and pay much less.

Dropped by here on a Friday expecting a wait, but I was welcomed by a fast and efficient technician. He completed the smog test in a very reasonable period of time and I was well on my way. Oh and bonus points for the coupon on Unilocal

I needed a smog test performed on my van, and this place offered an online discount coupon, so I chose to go in. No appointment was needed.
When I arrived, the bay was empty (1-​31-​2015 @ 1:18 PM), and the smog test technician had me pull right in.
I was told that the discount I wanted didn’t apply to vans (they cost $ 10 extra), so I agreed to the higher price, and signed my form.. ..
The technician was about to begin my smog test, when man drove up – also needing a smog test performed. The technician told him he’d be next, and the man seemed pleased — the new customer said he expected a line, so he had no problem waiting.
Instead, the tech had the man pull his car right up alongside my van (not in the bay, as it only holds one vehicle, and mine was already there).. . The technician informed me that the machine «hadn’t been calibrated», so it would «take a couple of minutes to set up the machine» before he could begin my smog test.
I watched, as the technician performed the complete smog test on the man’s car WHILE I SAT, WAITING, and THEN (after handing the documents/​certificate to the man, and telling him to have a nice day), he BEGAN the smog test on my van — at 1:40 PM.
I was dumbfounded — the technician was dishonest, unscrupulous, and I can only presume sexist. I was blatantly disrespected by the smog test technician at Pacific Auto Smog Station in Lomita, CA; and I am letting everyone know what type of unprofessional treatment a lady will receive, if taking their business to that location.

Stopped here since they have a coupon on their website. I spent $ 60 last year at some other smog shop, but I spent $ 35 here! That made me happy because there’s a brewery near this spot too. The guy was pretty quick and he even gave us candy, lol

Needed a smog cert quickly so I could get my registration renewed. Checked around locally and these guys had a great price. Went there this morning and service was excellent. No appointment, just stopped by, and it was quick and efficient and all for the right price. Highly Recommended.

Fast and easy service. Was in a pinch and needed at quick smog. These guys quoted a great price and beat other quotes I was given. Recommend to check out.

I was recomended to come here by a friend. I was not dissapointed. It was quick and easy and at a competative rate. I highly recommended this place.

Took my factory original domestic performance sports car here. The owner/​inspector is not a car person and wrote up and transmitted to the DMV that it had been tampered and failed to pass it.
Took it to another Smog station and they passed it immediately!!! They also indicated they had another customer that went to Pacific Auto Smog last week and that they had experienced a similar situation!!!
Stay clear of this place. Save your money and go to another station where they know what they are doing.

Very detailed. Very nice. A Little bit more pricey than most but other than that was good.

This guy failed my truck because he couldn’t read the numbers on the catalytic converter! Everything else passed and I had to pay him regardless! I took it to another smog place right after and they were able to see the numbers just fine and said I had to wait a couple days because this place already failed my car and come retest and they would pass me no problems. The guy at this place is a total scumbag and wouldn’t give my keys back until I paid him the full amount! Don’t was it your time or money with this place!

We had two cars to be smog tested. When we pulled up, we were not greeted and had to walk into the shop were two men were sitting. I had 2 coupons, $ 26 each. The vehicles were a Ford Explorer and a Chyrsler PT Cruiser. I was told it would be $ 36 for each car plus the price of the smog cert. I was told the PT Cruiser was considered an «SUV» and had to pay an additional $ 10 for the test. This car has been tested 4 times at other smog stations, and I never had to pay the SUV price. This guy was trying to scam me. He brought out a book which he claimed labeled the Cruiser as an SUV. I tried to show him my car registration, which certainly did not lable my car as an SUV. He got irrate, cussed at me, raised his fist in my face and told me to get the f— out of his shop. Two other people were with me, and he threated my brother-​in-​law too. We really thought he was going to hit us. If you are smart, you will not take your car here. Additionally, his prices are too high.
Frightened woman and family

The owner was very friendly and the service was impeccable. The total process took about 20 minutes. He also honored the online coupon that I brought in. Just be sure to bring cash if you don’t want to pay the debit card transaction fee. If I need smog services in the future, I will definitely me coming back!

Fast, friendly service and a great price to boot! Mention you found them on Unilocal for a discount and Ali will take great care of you!

Great Service and Price. They charged total $ 45 without any coupon or other gimmick
