I called a few in the area near closing time (30 before 6p) and he's the only that took me in! I was out in 8min with my 2014 Mustang. Quick & easy smog check service, need I say more? And his prices are listed on the front table which I really appreciate as a female in this daunting field. Easy and plenty of parking too. Make sure you go to the smog entrance desk and not the transmission service door because that's a different business. read more

Sanction Smog - Price: Inspection + certificate - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Cypress, California

Was recommended here by a friend who said they were quick. He totally undersold the place. Eric was fast, efficient and friendly! Would definitely come back for all my future smogs and sending all my friends here as well. I should never have lagged on my smog. I was with my daughter, on the way to visit my mom and stopped by hoping to get my car in. There were a couple people in front of me, but they were taking care of quickly. With the two people in front of me, I probably spent 20 minutes max there. Was able to go about my day without a hitch. Thanks again! read more

Look, getting a smog check in SoCal is usually about as fun as a root canal without anesthesia--long waits, sketchy up-sells, and that lingering fear your car is gonna fail and you'll be out $800 for some mystery catalytic converter your mechanic's 'cousin' just happens to have in stock. Then I found Sanction Smog. Holy hell, these guys are the exception that makes you question why every shop can't operate like this. Walked in on a Saturday, no appointment, and was out the door in under 20 minutes with a passing sticker. Eric (pretty sure he's the wizard behind the counter) was fast, professional, zero pressure, and actually explained what he was doing without making me feel like an idiot. Price was fair--no hidden 'convenience fees' or surprise 'your air filter looks sad' upsell nonsense. Car passed with flying colors, parking was easy, shop was clean, and the vibe was 'we actually give a damn' instead of 'next victim please.' If you're in the Cypress/Orange County area and need a STAR station that doesn't treat you like you're there to be financially violated, go here. 10/10, will happily let them probe my tailpipe again next year. Highly recommend read more

It was quick and easy and didn't have to wait long. Car passed with flying colors. Will definitely be back.

It was that time to get a Star Certified smog check for my Jeep. Sanction was recommended by a friend so called in to check if I could just walk in on a Saturday. Called and spoke with Eric confirmed no appointment was needed and that they were Star Certified. Drove in this morning and Eric greeted me and knew who I was took my Jeep back and test was run and completed in the timeframe promised - 15 minutes! Great customer service! I would definitely recommend Sanction! Thanks Eric for the quick, easy and professional service! read more

Wow! Where to start........this is the best smog shop I've ever been to, how's that for starters? I took my car here yesterday (2/9) because someone reported me to 1-800-END-SMOG after I cut them off in traffic and gave em the finger. As you can imagine, I was already in a rotten mood heading in. That fire was immediately quelled by the serene demeanor of Mr. Eric, the owner and proprietor of this fine establishment. He assured me that he would have my car smogged in no time and could repair any issues that he found. Now I haven't had a good experience with a mechanic of any sort since my long time guy, Wally back in Truth or Consequences, NM was tragically crushed by car. He wasn't even at work! He was walking next to a bridge and the dang thing just careened over it and landed right on him! Wally survived but his head was never the same shape again and as you could imagine, he lost his desire to work on cars after that. Anyways, back to Sanction Smog..... So it turned out that snitch was onto something and my car really was leaking smog. I needed a new something or other and Mr. Eric was willing to fix it for me. He said I could come back later to pick it up but I opted to wait around in his garden section, surrounded by all the beautiful plants to remind me of the nature I'm missing by living in this concrete prison that is Southern California. While I was waiting for the repairs to be done I chatted with his assistant, a long lanky fellow named Cletus Bronson. Cletus was extremely knowledgeable about the plants, one in particular, but disappeared before I left so I was never able to thank him for keeping me occupied. Once Mr. Eric was finished and presented me with the bill, I was shocked by how reasonable it was. Normally I'm used to being charged something akin to my first born son or at the very least, my fourth born daughter's virginity for something like this. My first born son wasn't on the table mind you. He's 31 and it would be tough explaining to his wife and kids why he's no longer around but grandpa has a car that suddenly runs well. My fourth daughter tho, she was an option but being totally honest she's not much of a looker so I'd probably still have to pay a little out of pocket.( Lots of moles and patches of hair where they shouldn't be. I think her mama was part alpaca. Helluva trip to Peru tho). And yes, I have a lot of kids and no I'm not Catholic. I just barter a lot and having lots of spare parts to deal away benefits my lifestyle, not that it's any of your business. What SHOULD be your business tho is how good Sanction Smog is as a business! I cannot recommend them enough and Mr. Eric even gave me a nifty coupon for my next visit! My children will thank him and so will my children's children! read more

Took in my 2008 Honda Accord for smog and due to having had just changed out my battery. We needed to drive the vehicle around at least 200 miles before we where able to get it to smog .

Sanction Smog - Passed Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Cypress, California

Great customer service. Eric took very good care of us. He has done several smogs for our vehicles. We have never had to wait.

Worst customer service, if you wanna get yelled at like if you were a dummy you should go here, otherwise, trashy place, owner/worker pretty rude, I guess he doesn't like sporty cars No 0 starts option sadly :/ read more

Amazing customer service will 100% come back for any services I need done for my car. Finish fast and no appointment!

Don't bring your car here unless you want your car to smell like cigarette smoke and then spend $300+ to eradicate it by a professional. Eric the technician took no responsibility for the damage. read more

I have now taken 4 vehicles to this facility. Owner is knowledgeable on all makes and models. Very professional and thorough with all aspects of the inspection and repairs. Will always come back! Could not recommend this shop more!! read more

There's a lot of places to go for smog check around this area, but Eric is very knowledgeable and friendly. We're glad we chose this shop and will be coming back in the future! read more

My husband and I really like this place, met with Erik who was right upfront, helpful and reasonable. I had an issue with my car getting smog test at another business, kept failing due to a part in engine, told to drive so many miles and should pass next time. Did this three times same thing failed. Ended up going here and Erik took care of it within a day or so. Personable, honest and reasonable! read more

I took my car in for a smog, and it failed, Eric the owner is hands down one of the most knowledgeable mechanics I have ever met. If you want your car fixed right, go see Eric! read more

Came for a smog check. "Inspector" Eric blatantly lied to my face saying it was smog checked. However, the paper printout stated that the car was NOT READY for a smog check, indicating it was never put through the smog check process. Nonetheless, Eric still insisted on charging me $60!! FOR SIMPLY CHECKING CODES. He also pretended to check the engine by waving a flashlight around in an attempt to fool me. Do not come to here. There is a reason they do not have a wait time, because they have no customers! BEWARE!!! read more

I'm very happy I found this smog shop. Eric is very honest and he did exactly what he said he would do without trying to up sell me and in a timely fashion. I'm a mechanic and I appreciate a good clean shop without any shady business. Thank you Eric I will be referring anyone I can to you. read more
