O-M-G, they don't call this place Lightning Smog for nothing. It's the BEST Smog Check I've ever…read morebeen to since I moved to California. When it's that time, I'm always in then in a flash I'm out of there. What a quick turnaround! There's someone checking in folks along with providing estimates and the other one conducting the thorough inspection. They have it down to a tee running like a well oiled machine. All in all, the staff are always super friendly at the same time professional. Looove their AWESOME customer service!! I appreciate it a lot. Thank you guys for your efficiency!!! I highly recommend this inspection station to the Yelp Community :-)

It was $58 with their special, that included the smog certificate. We made an appointment for 1:30pm the same day and ended up coming early around 12pm or so. We went to lunch next door at the Fish Shop and they were done by 12:35pm even though they had an another appointment. Johnnie at the front counter and the person who did the smog (sorry didn't get his name) but they were both great! I will definitely come here again for our next smog!

However, Jaime took the time to explain exactly what the issue was and gave me the knowledge I needed to get it resolved. Thanks to Jaime's guidance, I was able to get the fix taken care of, pass, and pick up my tags at AAA today! The shop itself is extremely clean, and the customer service went truly above and beyond. While last-minute car errands are never fun, Jaime made the process as smooth and painless as possible. I'll definitely be back for future smog checks and service! Highly recommend!

I called first to make sure they weren't too busy and he said just come on down. Upfront pricing, clean waiting room, and close to some food spots if you want to grab something.

I went in for a smog after finding a $10 off coupon on their website. The worker was friendly and…read morethe service was really fast but it was more expensive than I thought it would be. Their website advertised best price in Oceanside but it was $60 even with the coupon for my small, early-2010s sedan. I know inflation is crazy but last time I got a smog I paid like $30 at a different place. Their outdoor waiting area was thoughtful but it smelt like urine. I think I'll look around a bit more for a better place next time.

I do recommend bringing cash to avoid the 4% transaction fee with a card. If you go to their website there's a coupon for $29.99 plus $8.25 certification papers. There's an additional cost if you have an SUV but it's still a great value overall! Great price!Remember to remove any mileage tracking device that's required by certain insurances.

I took it back and it passed smog! This was an excellent value because if you failed smog the first time you get a discount when you take it back to the same place. Couldn't ask for more.
