The shop is small and old, but do not let that fool you!! The crew here will get your smog done and you back on the road in no time!! I highly recommend Tom and the crew of American Smog!!! read more

Just took my 07 Honda Fit in to get smoged and I was in and out in 6 minutes! I even called in advanced to make an appointment just to be on the safe side and showed up 30 mins early and got right in. It was $58 for the smog check and that included the electronic confirmation for DMV. I saw prices vary depending on vehicle but that might be anywhere you go. Great customer service too, I plan on going back again and referring them to others! read more

I was surprised at how fast the survive was for my smog today. The guy there was really nice and I thought the price was good!

I came in around 9:30 am on a Saturday and was the only one there. I was in and out with my vehicle passing smog $58 and about 15 mins later! The owner of the shop is cool and grateful for your business. These are the type of rare gem businesses that hardly exist anymore. I will definitely be back. Thank you, American Smog! read more

my brother recently went to take his car to be smog there. instead of communicating with him about the problems they were getting frustrated and yelling about the vehicle. they treated his vehicle like crap by throwing the car into gear and slamming on the brakes, as well as shutting the car off before it was at a complete stop or in park. i don't recommend going here if you want good costumer service. read more

Maybe today was an off day, but I missed the original owners being available. The owner's personalities were the main reason we would go to American Smog. The guys that were there did great, but for some reason it didn't seem the same. I don't like change. Ha! Otherwise, the shop was quick, efficient, and fair priced, as usual. read more

This was my first visit to this establishment. I took in my 2003 Toyota Sequoia for a smog test. I called the day before and made an appointment, they were patient and helpful on the phone to my situation. (I don't like to be rushed when I'm asking questions about my vehicle). I arrived on time for my apointment in the morning, and it went quickly and smoothly. Only took about 20 minutes. And Brad the manager even has a good sense of humor. They have chairs, benches and an umbrella out front. I waited with my 2 daughters and everything went smooth. read more

Great customer service! Very friendly staff. Got there first thing in the morning so I was in and out within an hour. They also let you make an appointment. Totally recommend them and will go back. read more
