Shaded seating area. Shop is next to "My Dad's auto service"

Quick response, in and out in less than 15 minutes, $60 flat rate and certificate included! Friendly and shaded outdoor seating. Pull into parking lot and drive toward the end to the last car bay. Provided helpful info too! Will be coming back. (Smog only)

89 Chevy C1500 getting it's bi-annual check-up.

Back again for the California Smog. The OBD1 system being harder to work on with most Smog Stations, Peng is still the best in SoCal and knows the importance of getting them California clean. These do take longer, so I advise to call ahead or come in early at opening. Remember, if your vehicle isn't stock(modified) it will not pass. Happy holidays, stop by and say hello to Mr. Peng and his beautiful wife.

My man, Peng, is the best! Okay, we're not that close as this was my first time here...but I think he's going to be my new go-to for smog checks from now on. The pricing was on par with some of the other smog check places around my area, if not slightly cheaper. But I really liked his attitude and honesty. The policy here is if you don't pass the first time, you get to get another free check when you get whatever you need to fix fixed. So my car didn't pass the first run, and he knew exactly why and told me how to remedy it without going to a shop. After changing a car battery or starter in my car model, the electronics need to be ran under certain distinctive conditions for it to "re-calibrate" in order to pass the test. Pretty dumb...but had to be done, and he told me exactly how. A car shop would've likely charged hundreds to get it right. After I ran my car under the conditions provided, I just took it back, and he re-ran the smog check and I passed! Highly recommend this shop and appreciate the honesty/help.

Got here, the lady approached me right away for my paper and to fill out the form. Then just sit and wait. Clean station, nice breezy wind to enjoy while waiting. It was quite some wait because there were cars before me, a good 30 mins for that. When it's my turn, was done in 10 minute. read more

Great business. This is my third time coming and the owner has been very helpful each time. My car wasn't going to pass smog and I planned on retiring it. Before he did the smog check he recommend I call the BAR to make sure the issue with length of ownership wouldn't affect my eligibility. I hadn't even thought about that. Everything was good and getting the smog now but thankfully his suggestion brought peace of mind knowing I will still be eligible and I did not waste my money on the smog check. read more

Nice little shop located in LBC. It's clean and tidy. Place to sit outside and watch the magic happen. Peng is highly recommended and knows how to treat your classic. California is getting more strict with these OBD1 class vehicles and you need an excellent smog station that understands how to do the testing correctly. Peng understands this and knows exactly what to expect when it comes to testing. He's honest and will try to help your vehicle pass. However, this is not the place if you removed your catalytic converter, and/or messed with any of the sensors. Peng and his wife is amazing duo. read more

My Jeep failed it's first smog test, which cost me $75 and could only retest within 2 weeks. When it took 3 weeks to fix, i was out of luck. This place was $60 and they'll give you a month if you don't pass. They also did a through pre-check, to make sure all the new parts had cleared the computer memory faults, and to ensure there were no glaring issues. The test was done before I knew it. They were really nice and I highly recommend this place! read more

Came in for a smog check 10/16/23. Was greeted by the owner, that there was another person in front of me. So I waited just a few mins & talked to the other customer to pass by time, who was also first time there. It was quick service maybe 10 mins for my 8 year old car, 2015 Honda Accord. The wife does all the paperwork & billing. Was told if you pay online/kiosk machine registration you have to wait 24 hours but you can pay in person at the DMV same day. The price/value is reasonable $60. So come by this place to support them & they are also a fellow Cambodian Gotta support my peepz! Will definitely tell family/friends & will come by for next smog check! read more

Peng is the best. Please, please visit Peng's smog check station for any of your Smog check or test needs. I called Peng today asked if a needed an appointment (he said no just come on in) I asked for a price for my old 2000 Camry to get smog checked (he gave me price on the phone) I had another question which he answered right away, he wasn't trying to shoo me off the phone which I was grateful for since I had questions. Please visit his business as opposed to like a chain smog place. He's affordable actually better priced than anywhere around here and super nice I can't recommend him and this business enough. When you pull in just go towards the back right ish and you'll see his Bays there. Peng's Smog Check is A1 top notch. read more

Like getting…read moredocuments notarized, the process is heavily regulated by the state, but unlike a notary, it looks like a SMOG testing center can charge what they want. So the $40 out the door (including the mandatory $8.25 fee for the certificate) is a great price. I actually found a coupon from smogtips.com for $29.95 for this space, but once you add in the extras, it came out the same...so the tech didn't even take it. The $40 is listed clearly, and it seems like it would be the same for minivans and small SUVs as well (other places seem to have extra surcharges for that). Like others said, it's easy to drive in if you are next, but if somebody is getting tested, you would need to drive into the auto repair shop driveway right after and walk back to the garage to get in line. You can only enter going South on Long Beach Blvd (since Long Beach Blvd is a divided road). There is a small waiting room with a TV showing a local station. Once our car got hooked up, it took about 15 minutes to complete. They take credit cards, and will give you a computerized Vehicle Inspection Report. Now I just need to wait for the electronic submission to be recorded at the DMV, so I can renew my registration on-line. Conclusion: the price is good, and quick once you get started. We'll come back to this place in 2 years.

Not the most exciting thing ever, getting a smog check, but it is necessary if I want to continue…read moreto be able to legally drive, so I was looking for a convenient and affordable place to get it done, and yelp suggested I go here. Yelp was correct: their $40 price is on the low end of standard (they have a coupon on their website, but turns out I didn't actually need it to get that price), the guy working there (who I think may have also been the owner) was super friendly, and I was in and out in 10 minutes. My only complaint: they really need a better sign directing traffic - they have a big sign out in front, that points into their one-car garage, so if someone else is already getting a smog check (as was the case when I got there), it is completely non-obvious where to go. You actually turn into the following drive-way, which looks like it leads into a car-wash, and then park around the back of the building. Their sign out front really needs to tell people that. Once I figured out where I was going, though, super quick and easy.

Was referred by another local smog shop to bring my 1988 suburban to Peng's, they said he was the guy to come to for older vehicles. Not only where they extremely professional but very down to earth and easy to work with. They took care of my suburban, and in the short time I was there I was amazed by how many customers that were there, they all seemed to be return customers. They were all so friendly, like they have known Peng for years. It's not often when you stumble upon a small business with that "mom and pop" feel. Needless to say I was very pleased with service and professionalism. I will defiantly be returning with all of my vehicles. Give him a shot, you won't be disappointed read more

Peng always provides wonderful service at a reasonable price. I have a 35+ year old classic car that needs SMOG every other year. Peng always makes sure to take his time to do the proper testing, and makes sure to treat my baby as if it were his own. He will have my business for life! New location behind 'My Dad's' on Carson just East of Cherry. Same great service and always a professional! read more

Mr. Peng is the master of his craft. He's incredibly friendly and is very helpful to his customers. My family and I have been going to him for 20 years for our smog checks and oil changes. You won't be disappointed when you go to him. His prices are great and his service is superior to any other mechanic I've been to. You'll leave happy that you went to him. read more

Best and easiest Smog check around. Peng just moved a block over and although his shop is tucked in the back it's a very large parking lot once you turn in. Peng is Star certified and takes Hybrid cars too. I was in and out in 10mins. Smog check made easy at a fair price. I highly recommend. read more

I work around the corner from Peng's Smog Check Station and was referred by a coworker. I went in during my lunch hour and was seen right away. I was amazed at how quickly the service was done. The owner was really nice also. Will definitely recommend to all my friends and family. read more

I just left Peng's 5 minutes before he closed. I must say, he truly made something so basic a pleasant experience. He truly understands what customer service is through his communication and service. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get a smog completed. read more

Always friendly super fast. Peng and his wife have a great sense of humor. He's don all of our family's cars and trucks for many years from my old mg sports car to my ridiculous dodge diesel truck. Thank you Peng and family for making a chore into a fun experience. read more
