I've been here twice. They are always fast, friendly and professional. They have a nice waiting area as well.

I definitely chose a great place for my smog! Gentleman who helped me out was very very kind, the service was literally the fastest maybe waited about 10ish-15 mins and thankfully there was already another car who was already done with their smog so it went by very fast. Price was $60 which I think is very reasonable. Will definitely come back again when I need my smog due again! Also the cat is friendly read more

Prompt and courteous professional service. Reasonably priced. Operator walked through all paperwork when work completed.

I went for a smog check since it was that time of the year to get one done and I was on yelp looking for places and this one happened to catch my eye. The owner of the shop is so polite and professional. He was quick and very welcoming. I was there for 10-15 minutes in and out. Would definitely recommend this place and price was reasonable compare to other places that tried to rip me off. read more

Very professional and efficient! When they say 16 minutes, they mean it!!! They are the best!

Very quick smog check service. You get one free test if it doesn't pass on the first. Nice friendly guy at the desk. :) read more

As the name implies, it was quick and effortless. I have another usual smog spot (Downey Fast Pass), but it was closed so I decided to try this spot out this year. Was in and out in about 15 minutes for $60. Would easily recommend. read more

Fast service and friendly. Cost was fair. There's a TV so watched the World Cup as I wait for service to be completed.

The service was very quick and the man there was so helpful. The process was seamless.

Took my car there today for a smog check. Excellent and fast service. I was greeted and taken care of immediately. Pricing was on par with every other shop I've been to. My car passed the smog and I was on my way in under 20 minutes. The gentleman who helped me also imparted some words of wisdom while I was there which made me feel all the more welcome. read more

After going to Penske Toyota twice in two weeks and being told their smog check had "network issues" one time and the second time that their smog guy was "sick," I decided to try my luck at 16 Minute Smog. I walked in a little past 8AM on a Friday and it was empty. I was in and out in the promised 16 minutes. I love how courteous the older gentleman was and how friendly his cat is. I will definitely be back! The price was also very reasonable ($30 less than what Penske Toyota was going to charge me!) The only con is that the place is a little hard to find. When you make the right into the driveway, there are two mechanics, keep going all the way to the back, there are big signs letting you know where the smog check is, you won't miss it! read more

16 Minute Smog - Cat - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Downey, California

Very good service, professional and polite. Open air seating and a cat to keep you company.

Fast service gotta go early to be in and out! The owner is cool. 4th time I go to him. My truck failed he told me to drive it around but I took it back the next day it passed. Just paid for the smog the first day and when it passed it was the California fee I paid for. Cool guy! read more

I'm a sucker for easy and straightforward answers so when I read the name 16 minute smog I decided to check it out. Previous smog check have approximately taken 30 to 45 mins so how happy was I when I tried 16 minute smog and left before i finished my cup of coffee, I'm came in around 8 am and only had 2 cars ahead of me but the test seemed to zoom on by. Fast and efficient should have been the name of the place its first come firsts serve so the sooner you come in the sooner you'll be out read more

Super fast, efficient and friendly service. Would highly recommend. Definitely a 16-min smog check.

This place def deserved 5 + stars Quick and easy is the way it goes. Just the way the name of this place 16 minutes Smog read more

I had my 2014 Toyota Prius serviced here. Quick and friendly service. Fair pricing. Would return again for future services.

Got my smog test in 16 minutes. Great service. If you don't pass test they will let you retest free.

Went early and literally was out in 15 minutes and the cat was actually there. Cost literally $65.

I took a 1984 Porsche 928 in to get a SMOG test, and the owner/operator decided for some reason that he did NOT want to follow through with the test on my car, right in the middle of the test. He started raising his voice and said "Its a waste of my time! I don't wanna do it!". And sent me on my way. If you have an older car that requires "more work" in order to test properly, then you might avoid this place!!!! Why spend 45 minutes testing an older car, when you could test three or four newer cars in the same time??? Greedy? Lazy? Both? You be the judge. read more

Went here because my usual smog check was closed and was met with excellent, fast, friendly service. Will be coming here now!!

Great, fast, friendly and professional! Thank you so much! I will be back. I appreciate all the help :-)

Very professional & quick service! It's $60 & u get a free retest if u fail. The guy is so friendly & has a cute little cat that hangouts while u wait lol i recommend coming here & will be back! Great customer service!! Thanks again!! read more

Owner is great. He is professional and quick in getting the test done. He doesn't over charge you. He explains all the paperwork and makes sure you know what to do with it read more

This business needs to be held accountable. During a recent inspection, the technician checked my catalytic converter and recorded the wrong serial number. As a result, my car failed the inspection, even though everything else passed. I immediately took my car to the shop where I had it inspected last time. They had my correct catalytic converter serial number on file and confirmed that the original inspector had made an error. When I confronted him, he dismissed other businesses as incompetent, but several local shops believe he may be doing this intentionally. This kind of behavior is unacceptable read more

It truly is 16min service! It was quick, tech was polite and courteous. I called around and this place was cheapest too! We were in and out so fast. Definitely going back next time. read more

Quick smog service! This place was exactly what I was looking for- fast and no small talk. Despite them not taking appointments (first come, first service), I waited less than five minutes to be helped. Pro tip: Call ahead of time to ask them how long their current wait/line is. read more

Have been to this place twice now (one for each of the cars in my family). Each time it took approximately 10 minutes. The owner is super hard working, kind, and even explains what needs to happen with the DMV after the smog check as well. He gave a $10 discount for mentioning that we found his place via Yelp (no review required) but just giving him a review because he deserves it. My first car I brought in with the battery hanging by the threads (I had just jumped it). He gave me a fair warning that it might fail the smog check but there is free retests within a 5 month period. He had me not turn off my car to do the smog check right away and thankfully it passed. All in all, this is my go to smog check place. Appreciate how hard the owner works. Appreciate the $10 discount (he even gives you a coupon to give out to friends for referrals as well). And appreciate his kindness. read more

I was recommended this place by a mechanic. I've had my truck for 20 years and pass led countless smog tests other places. The first time I bring it here it doesn't pass. It's written as a catalytic converter tampering. I've never changed my converter, ever. Wtf. I asked him for more of an explanation and advise he said return them to whoever installed them. Ridiculous. Now he has me flagged with the state and I have to make an appointment with BAR. Be weary if you have an older truck going to this place. read more

Amazing service 10/10. I got a new car and did not know where to get my smog. I will be getting my smog here from now on.

I came here after being disappointed with another place, and I'm so glad I did! They assisted me right away, and I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Plus, they open at 8 AM, which is super convenient. I highly recommend this place--very professional! read more

Clerk was super friendly and helpful! He helped me get my car smog check in about 10-15 mins, super quick. I would definitely come back.
