I reached out with a question and got a quick reply right away. I stopped by during lunch on a weekday with no appointment, and Jonathan got me taken care of quickly and professionally. The whole smog check process was easy, straightforward, and had me back on the road in no time. The waiting area was also a nice bonus, with plenty of shade and a swamp cooler that made the wait comfortable, especially on a warm day. Friendly service, great communication, no appointment needed, and fast turnaround. I'll definitely be back when I need my next smog check.

I called the Smog Spot, and a friendly gentleman informed me that they would be open until 2 PM that day, so I made my way there from Alhambra.

BEWARE ! I recently had a disappointing experience with a brake and light inspection that felt more…read morelike a money grab than a service. I went to see Pedro for an inspection, which he completed in about 10 minutes. He failed my car, claiming it needed a new axle and a few lights replaced, and charged me $200 for the inspection. He then told me I'd need to pay another $80 for a reinspection after I fixed it. Pedro even suggested that he had a friend right away that could do the repair work, which felt suspiciously like a setup. Afterward, I went to another professional for a second opinion, and they confirmed that the axle replacement was unnecessary. In fact, the vehicle should have passed the inspection without it, just repair lights with new bulbs. I feel like Pedro's service was misleading and potentially a ploy to send work to his friend. I'd caution anyone considering a brake and light inspection with him to get a second opinion before making any repairs he suggests or go somewhere else. Big lesson to learn after paying for a new axle and wheel alignment.

Yes, you heard that right. The car wash specializes in filtering out pollutants such as "engine oil, anti freeze, greaser, asbestos, rust; phosphates, and other destructive stuff" so that it doesn't go into our oceans... which can be harmful to the fish and underwater environment. I definitely recommend this car wash.

If you have a prepaid package or discount book from before the ownership change, I recommend confirming whether it will still be accepted before visiting.
