L.A. Smog Center

If I could give this place a zero I would. Rude rude rude! They just want to take your money!

Worse place ever! I was there from 12:35 pm and I left that place at 1:49 this guy sucks! Horrible attitude! He’s got this arrogant look on his face! And he just seems like he can’t decide weather to smog a car or do the other job he had, between pacing with my car and the other one in the rack lifted in the air he didn’t do anything and was just walking around and talking! Idk why people like this guy! Seriously I will never recommend this place ever. It looks like a zoo with all the animals he’s got in there rather than a work place. DONT COME HERE UNLESS U HAVE HALF A DAY FOR A smog check! And if there’s a line hope u have a week!!!

I have been coming here since 2008. They are quick and professional. They are STAR certified. They do testing and repair. Today it took 20 minutes.
I even wanted to check his license on the BAR website and couldn’t find it. He was patient and nice to show me how to check the status of the STAR and license. He is valid!

Fast and reliable.
Friendly staff who wanted to help the customers and processes the work faster.
Thank you

Went to have smog check because formerly thought a 2010 car is under 4 years and therefore transferring ownership privately should not need a smog check. But the dmv keep telling me I was wrong.
It’s 55 dollars smog check, 20 mins, convenient, fast, nice.

Fast, reliable & friendly service! I went to the DMV to get my car inspected without knowing that I needed a smog check (originally from NY, so this is all new to me). The DMV sent us to LA Smog Center (really easy to access from DMV), and I was help right away.

At first I didn’t want to come to the place since it’s across the street from the DMV because I thought for sure it would be over priced, just because of its location, so I called around looking for a better one. Long-​story-​short I ended up coming here. I showed them the paper-​work that I had before coming there. I came back, after about 40 minutes, and my car was in the same place with a worker chilling in it. (There wasn’t a line by the way.) He ran my car and said I needed a test only center, and not a smog inspection. I felt that they should have explained to me the difference before coming there. I asked them if there was an affordable place to go near by, and they said the ONLY place they knew about was some company they gave me a business card for, which I would bet money that they’re affiliated with. They said it was $ 60 there, which is over-​priced according to my research. They said, «It’s worth going there and getting it done to not waste your time.» Don’t pay over $ 50 for a test-​only. THIS PLACE IS AN INSPECTION PLACE. THEY WORK ON YOUR CAR TO MAKE IT PASS. DON’T GO HERE IF YOU NEED A TEST-​ONLY. Coincidently, there are like 7 smog places nearby, the best test center being USC Smog. Thanks for wasting my time guys. I give it a two instead of a one, because they tried to be nice at the end of all of it.
