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.

See all

Great place to go to get your required SMOG test done, if you live near downtown LBC. 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.
