Volkswagen smog check A+

I came here last minute a day after Christmas and they took care of me in less than 20 minutes very quick and convenient. A+

Tim W.

It's a one-man-show. Tim has been smogging my cars here for many years. Good and honest service!

Lucky V.

Convenient location. Easy no frills.Tim is honest and prices reasonable. Bringing all the family cars here as long as we are in OC and Orange Smog is around.

And my car cleared onto the dyno with no issues :)

See all

I have been coming to this place for a couple of years. He has smogged all of my cars. I have…read morereferred him to friends and family and they use them . However , my recent visit(12/20/25) has changed my view on them . Their smog tech's knowledge is lacking . My car's catalytic converter was stolen last year . We purchased all parts from the dealer and had them installed by a local reputable muffler location . ( catalytic converter , oem flange , oxygen sensor , gaskets , upper and lower shields misc hardware). We added a miller cat shield to protect it.. I brought him my car for a smog. He told me everything lookred good, except the visual? I said why? He told me that the catalytic converter was the incorrect one. I told him it was the OEM part from the Manfacture. He disagreeed. I told him i had the reciept from the dealer where the parts were purchased. He told me he wasn't going to charge me but to bring it back the car with the documentation. No failed docuemntation was handed to me . I printed all records from the online dealer purchase and returend. I was greated by a different smog tech. I told him that the previous tech told me to come back to smog the car. He reviewed the car and told me the car had failed. I was confused as the first tech didn't not say anyting about failing the car. I told the new tech that i had brought it this location. He asked for the documentation. I told him the gentlemen that reviewed the car told me he was not going charge and not docuemenation was issued. I told him that if the tech failed it you smog system should have a record. He goes and looks up the car to see who pefromed the test and found it was the smog station they run. He printed out the failed report The new techc said, come back when he is here as i don't why he failed it. I asked him when the tech will be back? He stated in 2 weeks? SMH.... 2 weeks? i can't wait that long. I reverted back to the smog /repair station i went prior to finding this shop(its closer to my home). Guess what it passed the visual. Never again will i come back. It is unfortunate. 2 stars, the lack of knowledge is unacceptable. The inablity to identify an OEM Catalytic converter from the Car's manufacture is a problem.

I've never been in and out of a smog check so fast in my life. Friendly service, comfortable place…read moreto sit and wait. Price was fine. The Tech definitely knew what he was doing. The cashier was very friendly also.
