This shop is great. I was in for a smog check. Service was friendly, prompt, and work done as promised. If you're looking at a service place, check this place out. I didn't make an appointment, but I know their website allows you to book appointments online. read more

Professional friendly and reasonably priced . I was in and out in 15-20 min without an appointment for a smog check. Highly recommend

Recently I received a letter from DMV on getting a smog check and I decided to give a call to Smog & Registration (a STAR certified station) at 2 PM for the same-day visit. The staff said just come before 4:15 PM (45 minutes before closing time) and I got here at 3:30 PM. I just randomly parked my car on the driveway and one of the staff stated his welcome. We walked into the office and was quoted approximately $65 for smog check. I purchased $50 for $60 Yelp Deal ahead of time and the staff honored the coupon, but apparently it is better to use the Yelp check-in offer because (1) customers still receive the same $10 discount and (2) the staff did take an extra time figuring out how to apply the Yelp Deal. The staff said the smog check takes about 10 - 15 min and he was true to his word. The office had a TV playing and restroom for a quick break. I paid the remaining balance using my credit card and happily drove my car off. It was a quick and hassle free process. P.S. - Smog inspection fee is due whether vehicle passes or fails smog test. read more

My vehicle failed its smog test at a different location and they referred me to Smog & Registration for smog repair. Made the trip to Smog & Registration and spoke with Steve about my issue. He was very welcoming and had such a good vibe to him. Set up appointment and after dropping off vehicle, I eventually received a text after a full diagnostic check and multi-point inspection with a breakdown of required repair as well as suggested maintenance items. For some of the checks, I even received photos to show the need for attention. Provided electronic approval to conduct repairs and agreed to estimated cost. Picked up vehicle later in the day and so far all looks to be good. Definitely coming back for any future services/needs and will be recommending to friends/family. read more

Smog & Registration was able to get my car fixed and passing smog when NO ONE else could. And I had taken it to a lot of other places. They worked long hours to make it happen and I'm very happy that they took professional pride in their work and wanted to ensure they got it done. Thank you Steve and staff! read more

Thank You Steve for everything you've helped me with. read more

Great customer service!!! Very efficient and easy, everyone was so nice and professional

Very good and fast service, very professional. I would definitely come back. I recommend others to try them out read more

I'm updating this review and giving it five stars because the owner contacted me Steve seems like a really wonderful person and I'm sure they do have computer issues and that's why they were unable to do my vehicle after I scheduled it to be done. Either way five stars to Steve for getting back to me and explaining why there was an issue I will use this business in the future read more

Smog & Registration - 1978 dodge D 50 truck going back on the road thanks for helping me get it registered and smog all in one place - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

Amazing experience . Quick and easy. Very friendly, very good price , showed up for a smog check and learned I can also pay for my plates here ! read more

What would one do without Yelp?! Especially when you're new to town! Anywho. Registration season was here and just when I was ready to pay online, DMV said I needed a smog check. Boo. So on to Yelp I went to look for the closest smog check place. Lo and behold Yelp sends me this God-sent place where you can get your smog check done, renew your DMV registration, AND get your sticker in less than 15 minutes!!! Now there is a $35 service fee for this (on top of reg fees plus smog check fees), but 100xs better than waiting for hours at DMV. I also called in the morning to see if I needed an appointment on a Saturday, and the guy who picked up was so friendly and informative and to boot it all..no appointment needed! LOVE. Sending anyone I know in the area here. Including you reading this post :). read more

Super friendly and helpful guys, took my car in for a smog test and helped me out right away definitely would recommend to my friends and family read more

Smog & Registration - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

Place seems perfectly fine for smog checks of modern cars (they were going through a fleet of rental cars while I was there), but you may want to ask your mechanic for a recommendation for your older vehicles. Test of pre-'91 vehicles is $110 not including the certificate if you pass and retest within 2 wekks is 50% off original test. Good customer service though. I was pressed for time and went with this place based off of a referral from the test only place I went to last time but couldn't use because their dynamometer needed repair and this place's website mentions servicing volvos. Mine is from '83. In the end I failed for 3 reasons: ignition timing, evap function, NO emissions by 1 PPM. I asked about possible reasons and if this was something they could diagnose, but the owner Steve seemed very hesitant to want to take the vehicle due to its age and the shop not being liable if things break when they look. He did take $10 off my balance when I asked before my results if the $50 for $60 voucher applied without needing to purchase the voucher so that was convenient. I called my mechanic and the next day dropped my car off with the place he uses (called ahead to make sure they could see me). During their look I passed the first 2 and when I okayed a retest they made sure my car was warm and I passed the emissions. Oh well. At the age my car is you are at the whim of the weather and the auto gods. read more

Friendly and super quick service. Place was clean. Customer service superb. I was just getting comfortable when my car was done with the smog check. I definitely recommended for good pricing and the good customer services. And yes they have hand sanitizer! read more

Smog & Registration - Waiting room - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

STOP STOP LIARS Do not bring your Vehicle to this shop! Very unprofessional and rude. I made an appointment for Friday on a Wednesday because I didn't want my vehicle to stay at the shop untill they had time. The owner guaranteed me if I brought the vehicle in on Friday that he would have a diagnostic and a price for repairs by the end of the day. When I called at 4:30 on Friday To check the status and come pick up the vehicle or have them do the repairs they informed me that the vehicle had not been looked at and Would take A-day or 2 longer before they could look at the truck Knowing my whole purpose was to Not leave my vehicle overnight or multiple days. S needless to say I took my truck and went somewhere else!!!! read more

A hugh thank you to Eduardo and staff, my son was having a very difficult time in registering and selling his car due to circumstances out of his control. Recommended by CarMax, Smog & Registration were very informative and patient with our questions and phone calls ... although we actually did not use their services, they made all the difference with resolving a rather stressful circumstance. Thank you, Thank You, Thank You read more

Definitely recommend. I've come here at least 3 times for smog check in the last two years. Twice on weekends and once on a weekday. Every time it was in and out without any hassle or waiting. 10-15 mins max. Prices are fair. Steve the owner is always courteous and answers all my questions regarding my vehicle even though he's not my mechanic and knows I already have a mechanic. He's friendly with a tremendous temperament. He even happily fit me in last minute right before he closed. In short, I'll continue to use this establishment and would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone. read more

This place was great. Very quick and and Marcelino was very polite and helpful. Everyone seemed really kind here. Overall great service.

I appreciate the honesty of this shop in regards to repairs. They weren't able to find the problem as I didn't have a lot of time to leave my vehicle there. I am on a tight budget and am not able to get a rental for a day let alone a few days. I was happy to find when we went to pick up my car up that I wasn't charged a diagnostic fee. I am not sure this is typical but I did appreciate the break as times are a little difficult at the moment, as I'm sure many people are experiencing with prices at the pump are soaring as are food and so many necessities. Thank you! read more
