Going into the shop, I had multiple warnings pop up on my dashboard, which Fred, who runs the shop, initially assumed were related to an issue with my ABS module. After running through the diagnostics and inspections, which didn't align with his initial diagnoses, he reasoned the negative cable wasn't connected to my engine bay and properly secured to the body, resulting in poor ignition and the dashboard warnings due to a poor electrical connection. The above shows Fred's honesty and integrity in getting to the root of the problem with my car, thoroughly explaining it, and providing a solution while saving his customer money. He is a great mechanic/technician, and I would highly recommend Smog and More for repairs and all their other services. read more

Was able to get my inspection done and fix a light that has been not workimg well for a long time all at resonable pricing.

Not only did he take me on right before his closing time he gave me info on my car on how to repair it. Great service and if you need a smog check don't hesitate to come here. Professional service and I am a happy customer. read more

Fred provided excellent service! Gave me a great deal on getting catalytic converter replaced fast as well as do the smog test fast! Would recommend 10/10! read more

Came here for a vss. Fred is great! Fixed a light for me, and alerted me to a couple other problems. He is honest and his prices are good. What more do you want? read more

Amazing service! I took my car in for a transmission issue, and they went above and beyond to fix it. They kept me informed every step of the way and helped me save money while still repairing the issue. I will highly recommend them to everyone. read more

Can't say enough about Fred. Couldn't get my daughter's car to pass smog. Took it to Fred and he was honest, reliable and patient. Took the time to explain to us what needed to be done and it's finally fixed and passes smog. Can't thank him enough, will take all our cars here!!! read more

Still the only smog place I trust I've been coming here forever. I went somewhere else once and I realized I'll never do that again. I come without an appointment and it's quick and easy. The owner and staff are also very nice and friendly. Best customer service thank you. read more

Excellent response time + quality repairs. Always get your vehicle back that buisness day, or within 24 hrs.

I came for a smog check inspection. I waited 2 hours for my car to be inspected. They said my car would not pass because the catalytic converted had been changed. They gave me back my car with NO receipt or paper work saying they inspected the car or that it had failed the smog check. I asked for paperwork and they said they needed to look at my car again. I told them they're not allowed to touch my car anymore because it seems like the businessman here does not know what he is doing. So because of this experience I will report them to prevent anything bad from happening to me or any other customers. read more

Service was fast here. the gentleman there was very kind and I felt comfortable. I was out within 15 minutes!

I came here to get a smog check on my 2006 Toyota and they also did my registration for me on the spot. They provided all the documents (registration) and they gave me a reasonable price for my timing belt and oil change. They also recommended me certain tires that would fit my car (I had just bought the car and I wanted to fix it up). Overall, I really liked working with the brothers. read more

Always a Great experiance and honest with Smoging my Veh's and other i send to his business.

Farid (Fred) is the nicest smog technician I've met. Sad to say that some bad reviews here were just at a time when he wasn't even open or outside of his business hours. One time my Jeep wouldn't start and I just thought here we go it's going to cost me a fortune. He fixed something in my center console, reset it and didn't take advantage of me. I thought this is the last honest mechanic I might ever meet. Highly Recommended. read more

Fast service, a little pricey but I forgot paperwork. Would recommend very professional. Fred would you fix my headlight?

I previously went to this business when they were located in Costa Mesa near where I live. I called them in a crunch, and was hesitant to drive to Stanton with my check engine light on, but I'm so thankful I did. They went above and beyond to outsource the rare parts I needed and get them in while I was sitting in the office and I left with everything up and running far better than the past few times I had left the actual Land Rover dealership. Plus, they saved me a ton of money! Regardless of the distance, I will be taking all of my vehicle needs to them from here on out. Best customer service I've ever received! read more

Everything is looking good here. Nice and clean environment. $59.99 & if your smog passes then it's $68. They're super fast too.

Fred is amazing. He can diagnose any problem and fix it at a very reasonable price. Dealer could not even find the problem and they kept changing parts and cost me an arm and a leg. I never go anywhere else except Smog & More. read more

Great place to have smog done, nice people! Close to where I live. They are quick in and out within 30 minutes read more

I had to get the smog tested in my car in order to transfer it here from Washington and Farid was amazing and so kind explaining the process. He was open until 6 so I was able to go off of work. Truly a genuine kind human who has a passion for what he does. So grateful to have stumbled across him on Google/Yelp for a local smog business. Highly recommend! read more

Smog and More - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Stanton, California

My Mercedes had a couple issues that not even fletcher jones could fix. Word around town was to come in and talk to Fred. I'm so glad I met him he is one of the most compassionate and smart mechanics I've ever met. He walked me through the diagnostics and pin pointed the exact problems and was quick to tackle the issues . He even went out of his way to get me quality parts and share with me his prices so I knew I was getting a great deal. He is honest and extremely kind hearted. My problem was fixed within a day and had my car back on the road running better than it had before. I've been taking my Mercedes to fletcher jones for years and been really unhappy with them. Since meeting farid I have taken all my family's vehicles to him and received consistent top notch quality service. Thank you Fred for all your hard work and supreme customer service!!! We will never go to another mechanic again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MECHANIC!!!!!! read more

Smog & More is a definite "go-to" mechanic for all auto needs. I am confident in trusting Fred with my automobile and have had nothing but great experiences when using his services. Thank you again for all the great work you do! read more

I have gone to this place for years...During the time that I have been going to him over the last few years for oil changes and other services, their had been an overwhelming smell of gas in the cabin of the vehicle...but never was checked or diagnosed other then that it was an older vehicle....I broke down today due to several other failures so I had the vehicle towed in to his shop....Once diagnosed, there was a laundry list of issues that could've been caught while the vehicle had been there...The worst issue of all was the fact that the gas smell was finally addressed to find out that my tank had a leak underneath the seat amd around the tank underneath amd Farhad left me and my family including kids drive off on several occasions....I will be reporting this shop and him to the ASE board.....HE PUT ME AMD MY FAMILY IN DAMGER AMD LET US DRIVE OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS...He also got upset when I asked him about it amd told me to stop asking stupid questions....Never will my family nor myself every use that facility again as long as welive amd will STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST USING THEM!!!.... read more

See all

Very friendly.... Great service got my car smog checked same day fair price.I had coupon from website.

Ferid is the man! Such an experienced mechanic and is always super friendly and funny. He truely cares about his customers and their cars and always provides high quality work. I highly recommend this shop to anyone in socal. read more

Great place. He was very patient and kind. I'd recommend this place to anyone needing a SMOG. Emissions testing in California has apparently gotten much more complicated. Make sure you disclose any modifications you've done to your car. It'll make the process much easier. read more

The best for smog test repairs! I highly recommend Smog and More in Costa Mesa on Harbor Blvd, especially if you need help repairing your vehicle to pass the smog test. I took my vehicle to several places looking for help to get it to pass a smog test, even a dealership, but no one else could identify or solve the problem until I brought it here. Fred at Smog and More was able to identify the problem and fix it when no one else could. He explained the issues in a way that was easy to understand, and he figured out and solved the problem completely. My car is more than ten years old, but still running well. Fred helped keep my ride running smoothly and passed the smog test. Fred worked around my hectic schedule and the prices were fair and reasonable, especially for the excellent service. I cannot thank him enough. read more

In life there is probably nothing more satisfying than finding a service professional who is honest, fair, and highly capable. Farid is all of these things, and I feel incredibly lucky to have met him. I came to his shop on a whim for a quick smog check, but when he noticed my check engine light on that was a hard stop. Obviously there was a reason why I had ignored it for 2 years... high prices and questionable competence and honesty in what needs to get fixed with the dealership or other mechanics. But Farid ended up taking me through a methodical diagnostic and therapeutic process, starting from the easy and cheap steps first and, only when those failed, to the final answer and permanent fix, all at a very very fair and reasonable price. 5/5 stars. Wish I could give him more! read more

Quick in and out Smog Check and Repairs with no Headache . His pricing is fair and might be a bit higher compare to some other locations but well worth it. read more

I came here to get my car checked because a check engine light was on, not to get lectured, belittled and verbally attacked. The taller, older gentelman with the accent was extremely rude and hostile. I would not recommend this place to anybody. I hope hes not the owner because i dont know of any business owner complaining of being "too busy". read more

I went in for a quick smog check today. It only took around 15-20 mins. The owner was super nice and friendly. I highly recommend using this shop. read more

I honestly just happened to see their sign that said smog check for European cars $34.95. This is why you follow your gut instinct, these guys were so professional and hilarious. It took maybe 15 min and I learned about a much better oil made specifically for Volkswagen. Thank you both for all your help, I'll be back soon for an oil change. read more

This is absolutely the best place for a German made car. So helpful and great prices. Everything was done on time and they definitely care!!

Fred knows what he is doing and is very reasonable in pricing. He explained everything and is also very friendly. I was driving with my family from San Diego to Long Beach when my upper radiator hose on my 335i got a hole in it and all of my coolant leaked out. I got my car towed from Santa Ana to Fred's shop in Costa Mesa. He diagnosed the problem and got the part delivered within half an hour and this was on a Saturday. I was in and out of his shop in 2 hours. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality and affordable work on European vehicles. read more

I was so fortunate that my tow truck driver recommended this place. I live in LA but my car broke down near my parents' house in Costa Mesa. I was just going to take it to Pep Boys, but the tow truck driver said he knew of a very trustworthy guy that he would highly recommend. I took the chance, and I am so glad I did. Fred, the owner, is amazing. Very honest, had my car diagnosed within minutes of my arrival, and charged very reasonable prices. He is also just a really nice, funny, genuine guy. I would recommend this place to everyone, and even though it is a 65 mile one-way drive for me, this is my new go-to shop. read more

Awesome place! Went to get my car smogged today and the men working there were extremely helpful and friendly. They actually do car repairs as well! Gave me a run down on what my Mustang would need for a tune up based on it's mileage. I was in and out within 15 mins! Fast and knowledgeable. Thanks guys! read more
