I was referred to Bob by the amazing auto registration women in Oceanside off of Mission Blvd. From the time I arrived Bob was very kind and attentive. He took notice to the fact that my doggie was with me and offered him water upon my arrival. He communicated how many cars were in front of mine and how long it would take (only 15 minutes but I appreciated his communication so that I could decide what to do with my time). He got my car going and I was back on my way to the registration place to finish up my morning. I was in and out, it was more than affordable, and Bob is awesome!! read more

I just stopped by here to get my car smogged. I called ahead and they told me $54 bucks and if I found it cheaper that they would match it. Well, I called around and found one for $50 bucks and was satisfied that I found a good deal. Before heading out I looked for a coupon to lessen the blow even more and found one for $10 bucks off. I arrived at the station and talked to the owner. He said that he would match the $50 bucks but they don't take coupons, so I started to leave. They stopped me at my car and asked how much the coupon was for, so I showed them $10 off inspection. They said that they would take the coupon but I would still have to get an EVAP test which would be $25 additional for a grand total of over $65 after state fee's. You know that feeling you get when you are getting screwed, well I got that feeling, so I smiled and waved bye-bye and drove straight home to do research on the matter. I called another SMOG station and asked how much it was going to be to get my car checked. They told me less than $40 with the coupon that I found. I asked about the EVAP test. They asked what kind of car I drive and I told them a 1999 Saturn. They said that an EVAP test is not required. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. Instead go to: SMOG THIS TEST ONLY CENTER 1950 Oceanside Blvd Unit O Oceanside, CA 92054 760.721.8350 They are Honest. read more

Not too far from home. Did not want to drive far to get my car smogged. I made an appointment. Got in and out no problem. Bob was friendly and professional.

Bob was so wonderful!!!! He had an appointment before me, but took my truck ahead of time because I had to work. I work at In-N-Out and he asked me to bring a burger and also offered to buy my truck.

I have been taking my vehicles here for years. Always professional, quick, and painless even without an appointment!!

Hard to love needing a smog check, but Bob is a great guy and I won't ever consider going anywhere else.

One morning I was headed out of town and of course as soon as I got on the highway, I got a notice that I needed to fix my tire pressure. It's my first time having my own car and I had trouble filling my tires at the nearby gas station. I was lucky to find this location and Bob the manager helped me put air and my tires and taught me how to do it in the future! I was back on the road and happy! Thank you so much! read more

This is not a review. I intend to go there after I speak with them but have bo idea what their hours are. They aren't on the business card I was given by a neighboring mechanic yesterday and I can't find them anyplace online or on their facebook page. Anyone know their business hours? UPDATE I got the hours. 9am-7pm. Called to get a price over the phone. I have an older vehicle so everyone charges somewhat more. He said mine would be $71 something plus the certificate which would bring it to around $80 and he would knock $10 off. So $70 I called another place and they did it in 15 minutes for $45 out the door. read more

This place was great. Tiny business but the only one in the area open on a Saturday for smog. Has military discount and courteous staff. I didn't have to wait long either. If you need your vehicle smogged, I highly recommend. read more

Wow. This is the first vehicle I've ever gotten smoged and what a breeze! I made an appointment and I thought I brought a book and got so excited that I would have some time to read, but before I even got to open my book, he was done! He was so knowledgeable! I will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much Bob! read more

Here is a great company that recognizes word of mouth referrals! He referred me to TNT for all my Toyota needs. He referred me to Z market for lunch (gave me 100% money back guarentee if I didnt enjoy) which I did! And HE gave me excellent service with a 20.00 discount. This where I will be getting all my cars a Smog! read more

Previous review is incorrect. This shop is still open. Bob's a good guy he'll give great service.

Want to thank Bob for getting our 2 Super old cars to pass on their first time, yet again! When it comes to smogging cars and excellent customer service there's no better man to do the job. We're so grateful we found you & your business. See you in 2 years! read more

Very friendly, quick smog test. I've been coming here for the last six years. I also get my large RV done here, too. Not many places do RV smog tests in the area. read more

Great, honest, and outstanding service. I recommend this facility to everyone. The owner is quick and is not expensive at all.

I only take all my cars here to Bob. He is a honest person and treats cars very well.

I am as picky as they come. So giving this business 5 stars says a lot of it. Bob the manager is less talk and more service...pure and simple. read more

Bob is awesome, cool, & professional. The 5 stars says it all. Don't get mad at him if there's a long line. The review shows that everybody loves him & keeps coming back. I was just lucky to get a smog with only 1 person ahead of me. Thanks Bob! read more

Bob is a smog wizard! He knows the ins and outs of different makes/models/years of cars. Two different Oceanside mechanics recommended Bob as THE guy to go to and they weren't whistlin Dixie. This is not the least expensive place in town but not the most expensive either. His business card is a $10 off coupon so with the certificate fee it was $60 and worth every penny to have my car in expert hands. And, he is incredibly flexible with his hours, offering to do it even at 9pm if I wanted. Thanks Bob! read more

Just came from there today and I have to say it was a great experience. The guy was quick and friendly. He gave me a $20 discount on a price that was already affordable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in need of an affordable smog check. read more

I showed up at 8:45 a.m. which was 15 minutes before Bob was scheduled to open. I told him I didn't have an appointment, and he said he could do it right then and there. He definitely lived up to his Yelp rating for me. I say give him your business if you want a good smog. read more

Maybe not the cheapest, but he was close and took me in right away. He also gave me advice on how to pay my registration fees immediately to avoid paying late charges, so I saved in that way. He provides a discount on return business. read more

If you have a normal car that's less than 8 years old, don't bother coming to Bob. If you have failed your smog check or your car has ever failed somewhere else, go see Bob. I had an old rare BMW that was failed by another shop. I took it to Bob and he immediately knew the other shop was using an out of date reference. He runs my car off the correct reference and I passed. I take all my older or weird cars to ABC. I don't always pass, but I know it's because it shouldn't, not because of ignorance. read more

The best smog experience in 30 years. Friendly, and courteous. In and out without delay. I will be bringing all my cars here from now on.

First let me say that the posted prices are completely negotiable, walked in balked at the price and was instantly given a discount. Our vehicle has an intermittent check engine light, the light was out, but I wanted to make sure Bob was aware of this before the test. Bob listened and understood my concern. He asked several pertinent questions then diagnosed the issue before our smog check just to make sure that it wouldn't impair our test. He actually brought out two different diagnostic tools to check, and double check. He really went the extra mile with us making sure we wouldn't be wasting money on a vehicle that would fail. Smog service was handled quickly and efficiently. Could not be happier with the personal service and attention. We also found out that he services the vehicles for the Humane Society down the road. Great to find out someone you do business with gives back to the community. I would give him extra stars for this if I could. Highly recommend his service to anyone, read more

Just from my experience. I was in the area and knew of a shop down the street that would do the smog for $35. Unfortunately it was closed and decided to check out ABC Smog. I went in to check the price, and saw it was $50 for a small vehicle. Since I was in no rush to smog the car, I decided to turn back. The owner however waved me down as I was heading to my car and asked if I would do it for $40 (Smog and Certificate). I agreed since I would knock it out of the way. The actual smog process went well and my car passed. However, during the payment process I noticed he charged me the $50. I didn't notice until after the transaction was made, and I asked him why he hadn't charged me the $40 we agreed on. He said the certificate was extra now. I didn't make a big deal about it but he lost a customer that day. read more
