ABC Smog

I needed to get a smog check and to be honest, I’ve been putting it off just because I had thought it would be an ordeal. Boy, was I wrong! ABC smog was quick, efficient, friendly, and affordable. I didn’t even have to get out of my car. Would use them again.

Just helped my friend pick up his new used car the day before, and while at AAA, we were informed that we had to go get the car smogged, and preferably the previous owner should have gotten the car smogged for us, but we didn’t know.
We were at another popular smog station nearby that had over a 2 hour wait then found this place on Unilocal.Made a call and the guy here said he could do it immediately!
We pulled the car up and he proceeded to inform us since we had a Cool Air Intake on the car with the proper sticker identification, he had to check with the state to see if it was legal, which ended up being ok.
Overall, he was very friendly and down to earth, and told us next time we buy a used car, the previous owner is responsible for the smog, since if anything’s wrong with it not passing, they have to fix it. It was our newbie used car buying mistake, but luckily the previous owner was honest and everything turned out fine.
He provided great service and we were in and out within 20 – 30 min! I highly recommend this place!

I arrived to have a smog check performed on a 78 El Camino. I was turned away because they could not perform the service on a car that old. Only new cars here. Not only that… the guy who would have done the smog check was talking on his cell phone with someone and I found it difficult to tell if he was talking to me or the person on the phone.
I won’t bother coming here with my newer cars either.

David is the man. He has great referrals if you need repairs too.

I’m so glad I read all the reviews and trusted my gut. Everyone was so right. Such a great guy! Even gave me a stamp to send in my smog to the dmv. I’m a customer for life now!

Quick, detailed and friendly. Even offered tips on the best time to go to the DMV.

My husband and I just had our smog checks done here. Extremely courteous service from David and everything was done within 30 minutes per car. We’ll definitely be back in a few years for the next test. We’re glad we found this place and it was right down the street from our home!

Simple, straightforward, SMOG check station. Less expensive then the other ones in the area. Quick turn around and convenient location. If you need SMOG completed you should go here!

David is awesome! Very nice man and knows his stuff! I have made my 1^st new friend since moving to SD, who would have thought it would be my Smog guy! I will definitely come back and refer others.
Called ahead he said he was finishing up a car and gave me the price. Got there took me right in and done in about 20 – 30 minutes.
My car is a 1999 Saturn Wagon manual an she passed!

My only place to take all the cars of our family. Clients forever. The best service in town.
Every time I step at his place for a service I get impressed with such professionalism and how nice he threats me and my husband. I feel saje working with ABC smog. Thank you David, continue being amazing. YOur business will be always THE TOP of all.

This is the only place we bring our cars for smog checks. It’s quick service; I’ve never had to wait. Takes less than 30 minutes to complete the process.
The man who does the smog check is knowledgeable, friendly and funny.
This is the place to go for your smog checks.

They say it opens at 8:30 but I went there at 9 and the guy was not there yet. Clerk at the gas station said he «should» be there within another 10 min. So I asked to use the bathroom while I waited and all they have is a port-​a-​potty. I left and won’t be going back.

in the same spot as the Shell gas station. $ 59.99 for a smog check. I showed up at 5pm on a monday and got in and out by 5:25. Super quick and easy. staff was really friendly and nice. I’d definitely go back!

Exceptionally thoughtful service. Not even sure if my vehicle passed yet or not, but know someone that goes above and beyond when I experience it first-​hand — and then consider it noteworthy enough to post something to Unilocal.Seeing how I’m not the first one to do so says something about the place, doesn’t it? Just sayin’…
;-)

The best smog place in the area. David is a very friendly person and cares about his costumers. I’ve taken my cars several times for him and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended. Also the location could not be easier. Right off of 5, easy go get there and leave.

David was really helpful and personable. My mom moved to Cali recently and needed to have her veh smogged. I would definitely recommend this place. Quick service too.

Fast, cheap and nice. Outside waiting area. He even checked my oil and breaks without me asking ! Highly recommended

Hard to miss if you’re not really looking for it since it is inside the Shell station near Clairemont Drive. My husband and I have both taken our cars here multiple times and have never been disappointed. They are honest, really want your car to pass, and even give you a coupon for you next visit! We will definitely be returning. :)

It really is as easy as ABC.
Maybe it was easy because I passed. Or maybe it was easy because I just beat a couple of other cars there by one minute. Either way it was easy and David is a genuinely nice guy.
It makes all the difference for me when someone actually cares about their customers.
As the governator would say… I’ll be back.
Oh yeah, that’s my pimp 91 Volvo in the pic.

This guy is the best! Extremely honest and helpful. I have taken cars to be smoged at other locations but after coming here i’ll never go anywhere else.
