I took my wife's car for the required smog test to renew her license plate tags and was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Paul Abboud is professional, knowledgeable, kind and efficient. I take all my cars to Paul as he is honest and runs a terrific shop. Paul also has a clean shop with state of the are equipment. Paul also accepts coupons that are available online and provide discounts. Highly recommended! read more

This is my third visit to Anthony's. I've always received great service and the wait time has been excellent. I've never had an issue with my car and Anthony has always been careful when he's had to move it and I really appreciate that. I will continue to return to Anthony's in the coming years. read more

Owner should update the hours on Yelp. They are closed Saturdays. I have come here before and the service was fine. read more

This is hands-down the best smog check shop I've visited in the past 30 years. The owner is knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely helpful. My smog check was done in under 10 minutes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs fast, reliable service.look read more

bait and switch on coupon. Refused to honor it. Did the smog check for $60 - not the $28.95! Fix your website. read more

Fast and easy. Be sure to bring cash and download their coupon to save some dollars. Took just minutes to get in and out.

Bait and switch....told my son one price and then three weeks later told him $20 more. Then pushed him aside when to wait (he had a older van) because two easier cars came in that he could do quicker. They did not have an appt either. Go to someone who really cares about the community instead of the quick dollar. read more

BEWARE! They DO NOT ACCEPT the coupon posted on their website! You will NOT get a smog check here for $28.75. Like other reviews have mentioned, they have been running this scam for a while. The person running this place will come up with a bunch of BS about why he "can't accept" the coupon. It's a clear bait-and-switch SCAM. He acts like he's above everyone and speaks in a rude, condescending manner. DO NOT waste your time on this crook! And to you, buddy: I will be reporting your business. read more

Great service and no wait, not to mention the best prices in Mission Viejo. If you are considering any sort of smog check i would highly recommend this shop as it's the best, coming from a returning customer of four years. read more

After making countless calls and getting higher quotes from other places, I stumbled upon Paul's Smog Shop through a Google and Yelp search. I was hesitant due to some negative reviews, but decided to give them a shot as a last resort. I'm so glad I did! Paul answered the phone, and the whole conversation didn't even last 60 seconds. He gave me a quote that checked every box on my list and beat every other quote I had received--no smoke and mirrors, just a straight shooter with an out-the-door, no BS price. When I arrived, Paul greeted me and asked me to relax while I filled out the invoice. He took my keys, and within 2-5 minutes, the smog check was done! I was literally out of there in what felt like 4-5 minutes. Quick, efficient, and honest service. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a fast and straightforward experience! read more

$85 For A Smog Check On A 1997 Ford /Mazda Ranger B4000 with only 100k Miles??? BS!!

Paul is a scammer. I showed him the coupon off his website that said $29.75 (for a car newer than 2000) plus $8.25 for DMV fees. He said that the website people did not update the website and now the price is $75.75 plus DMV fees, totaling $84. He said he will honor $10 off so the price so the total price will be $74 plus tax. Paul says it's not his fault that the website people did not update the website. I asked him when the price changed and he said last week (Dec 2023). Watch out and I bet he will say the same thing to people a year from now. read more

Polite, fast service. In and out for a Star Smog in less than 15 mins. Highly recommend.

Got a coupon online. I called beforehand and verified my 2011 Corolla meets the requirements for the coupon. Paul honored the coupon and I was out the door for $40, including the certificate. Total time was less than 10 minutes. Quick and easy. Paul was also very friendly and polite. read more

Was excited to find this place online for $28.75 + $8.25 certificate. Went there, no waiting. (That should have been my clue) A large sign says show coupon first, which I did. From start to finish, he spoke in a very curt voice. He immediately said, "gimme your renewal." I handed it to him and again very curtly said, "it's $60!" I asked why and he said, "it costs more for a star certified smog." Okay, well in my experience of smogging multiplee cars, I was never charged more for a "star certified" smog, ever. I decided to go ahead and just be done with it since I was already there. Immediately, he asked if I tow my vehicle. I replied yes. Within 3 minutes he told me that I didn't pass. Asked if I had my car worked on recently. He said they just cleared your check engine light without actually fixing it. They had told they ran it and couldn't find anything so they did clear it. But to bring it back of it came back on. It never did. But that wasn't what was wrong. It then just dawned on me that we have a kill switch for our battery when we tow it. And I also remembered we need to drive the car at least 200 miles after hooking the battery back up to reset the cars onboard computer. My fault. He then told me that I should never unhook the battery when towing it, (he knows because he has 7 Jeeps). The computer will go out if its reset too many times." It explains to do so in the owners manual. We've been doing this for 13 years with this car and have never had a problem. Curtly, he says "go drive it and bring it back." He said that it would be $51.75 for today. I then said, "okay, then after I drive it bring it back here?" He says, "Yes, then it will be $32.70 + $8.25 for the certificate." So basically approx $100. to get a smog, when he could have easily asked how long it had been since we towed it and it would have saved me a ton of money. Bad customer service, very curt in his responses, giving false information, and lost a returning customer. He acted like he didn't need the business. I never just go somewhere on a whim without checking them out first or without being referred. I learned a very valuable lesson. read more

Great experience! Will definitely be back for our other cars. This was the 3rd shop I called this morning, the 1st wasn't STAR certified and the 2nd was rude. No wait and great conversation with Paul. Paul is a car guy and we spent more time talking cars then it took to complete the smog test. Highly recommended, best shop and operator I've worked with in years. read more

Anthony’s Smog Pros - Older mustang GT passed! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Efficient, quick, no nonsense. Done in less than 10 minutes. First come first serve but it was open when I got there.

Amazing quick service and super nice!!!! Great price! Got the job done lickity split!!

Very thorough and detailed in his work. Told me upfront the price and completed without delay. Will come again for next vehicle.

Come to Anthony's Smog Pros if you want him to make up reasons why his coupon is not valid and charge you $75. More than the normal smog check. ("Your hood doesn't have a sticker") Does he think I've never had a smog check before? What a joke! 0 stars! read more

I called three places and this was the cheapest by $20. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Recommend calling ahead to verify price.

In under ten minutes my car was smogged, the gentleman that helped was kind and efficient.

Some of the best prices in Mission Viejo... minus the 35 cent fee for debit cards. This is a small station, it seems. There are one or two "rows" of pumps -- definitely not a mega station. It's a bit difficult to get in an out of (because it's at the corner of Marguerite and La Paz), so if you miss it... well... you'll need to U-turn and deal with all of that. ;) I've never been here for any smog work or into the little shop... just for gas, if I'm running low! 2018: 80/100 read more

They have their hours posted on Google Maps as 24/7 even though they are only open 6 hours.

Paul was quick courteous , quick and efficient! Between his online coupon, excellent service and speedy smog check I would say, this is a NO Brainer. Yup, I am an older lady, new to the area and got very lucky to meet him. Thank you Paul! read more

For several years I've been getting my smog check here primarily due to the short wait and fast service. It is convenient to get it done right after getting gas since it's in the same building. read more

Excellent fast courteous service! Best price I could find in this area! Owner was very pleasant. I was smogged and on my way in just a few minutes! Highly recommended! ***** read more

I was at this location today. The person doing the inspection was great. He was very nice and friendly. We went to pay the person collecting the fee. Man! He looked so grumpy and very unhappy. Never even got a fake smile out of him. For that reason I will not go back to this location again. I am happy to be there, and happy to pay you. Could you at least treat me in a friendly manner. Good bye forever. read more

Tire machine let all air out if tires. Mgr said not his problem, refused to provide service number, paid for the air pump, car reads pressure otherwise would go on freeway could cause accident. Asked mgr to put sign on machine, talked over me told me to drive to station to get number off machine as he refused to provide it. Rude, uncaring, unprofessiona read more

Great shop. Very professional and took care of my truck. Due to lay off from my job because of covid. Paul gave me a good deal on my truck. Very kind of him. Class act. Thanks Paul. I'll definitely send you all my referrals. Thanks read more

lady who works front desk shut off pump in the middle of me getting gas at 9:54 and they close at 10... shes a bitch

Very rude lady working there. I asked the Asian lady that works there to turn the air on for my tires. At first she ignored me and after I came back again I thought she did not hear me well. I went back to ask her again she said you need to learn to wait till it's your turn and she refused to turn the air. Just because I did not put gas on the gas station she was not happy. I am a regular customer and also neighbor , I even know the owner. I will definitely make sure the owner knows that such a behaviour. but will never go there again. Mobile station is just a block away. I remember old days there was an older gentleman working there with the best attitude and smile. read more

Great station and smog shop. I have taken several cars and trucks here to get smoged and the staff is always friendly and efficient not making me wait around forever, In and Out ASAP smog cert in hand,,, Highly recommend , they also just added a giant soda and snack section so it is the best station to stop at for a drink and gas any day .... AAA+++ read more

VERY RUDE OWNER!!! I was getting gas in my car & in my daughters car. Owner came over to me while I was washing my windshield & told me I had to leave since there are other people waiting. I told him the gas wasn't done pumping into my car & he said he was the owner & I had to move my car. Then turned around & gave another man a high five! read more

highly recommend this place very professional,fast,affordable me and my family has been going there for 15 years I only trust this location . read more

Very professional, fast service, would give 5 stars but I never give that on a first visit. If you need a fast smog check and have an older car, this place is star certified and can do it for you. I recommend this place, but look for coupons! read more

I was completely out of gas and had to coast to this gas station. I pull in at 9:40, a lady walks out and says "we're closed. " I then asked what time they closed and she says 10pm... I told her it was 9:40. Then she says "ya but I have to count the register."... I had barely enough gas to make it a whole other mile to another gas station. Never going here again so rude. read more

The smog place is a good experience because it is another gentleman. Got my truck smogged there and occasionally I pump gas here. The gas experience is bad if you talk the the guy who is always pissed off at like everyone. He's rude , should be a lot more nice to people. His personal life attitude should be kept out of work. This place could be better but needs new staff read more
