A hidden gem! You may have to search a bit to find the small "Smog Check" sign pointing you to a driveway on the south side of Venice just east of Overland, but it's worth it! This is a no-frills, no-branding establishment. I showed up at around 2pm on a Friday, and the technician got me in right away and was done testing my car in about 10 minutes! Very nice guy. Charged me $65, which seems to be the going rate these days. Highly recommended! read more

Best in the West (side)! Always friendly and prompt service. No frills, just what you need, honest service and good customer care! read more

Francisco is literally the most honest person in this business that I know of. His prices are always fair and he really does a good job. I've never had a problem with him or getting my smog certificate. I highly recommend this business! read more

Carla is the best! She let me know I needed to drive my car a bit before the test (saved me a trip) in order for the CPU to reset emissions data. Also, such a breeze getting the car smogged there and reasonable pricing! A+ read more

Go here for a smog check. I was in and out in about 10 minutes. So low key love it and will be back.

It was my first time doing a smog check and coming to Smog Solution made it very easy. Sergio was my main technician for smog checks and he was friendly and professional. Would come here again. It is took about 10 mins. The drive way in was a little weird but they will help you where to park if it's busy. read more

The guy was super nice and polite, the price was better than anything else in the area (50 something when everyone else was asking for 70ish) and the service was fast! Really couldn't ask for anything more. read more

Great and quick service. You can come right in off the street and they'll help you out straight away. Have recommended it to friends!

Trustworthy smog check spot! Francisco was super friendly and made the whole process feel easy and honest. I was in a rush and still managed to get my smog check done in about 10 minutes--so fast! I paid $58, which I thought was very fair compared to other places. Highly recommend coming here if you need a quick and reliable smog check! read more

No nonsense, straightforward, fixed price service fir smog check. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.

Service is very fast and friendly. They did my test I Will come back again . Thanks

Fast, easy, reasonable price. Friendly service. Good experience. And reasonably reaponsive

Very friendly, fast, and efficient service- Smog check verification to DMV was fast and I received my tags within a couple of weeks.

Always good experience. They have been doing smog check for our cars for past 2 years.

Super quick and efficient! I was in and out in 15 minutes, with my car's smog certification electronically transmitted to the DMV. Price was great too at $55 all in. read more

Excellent, simple, priced right, fast, honest, what else do you want in a smog check?! Seriously. Just go here. It's the best place for getting the job done and not being sold any nonsense about things you have to or could or might do to your car. Get the check and getouttathere! :-) read more

very quick and easy! construction is happening next door so just keep an eye out for the smog check sign or you may pass it

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. My car wouldn't start and I called Homero at Smog Solutions. He got my car in that night at 5pm and had it finished that evening! I feel so safe in my car now and especially being a woman and showing up by myself, I was completely taken care of. read more

Got a SMOG check done this morning - the owner was very kind, greeted me and saw me right away. Service was fast and efficient at a fair price. Will come back again. Thank you SMOG Solutions! read more

Having to do a smog check sucks for sure, but Smog Solutions takes the pain out of it. Quick, efficient and friendly service. I think I've paid 40-60 dollars over the years for a smog, and TBH I don't know what the going rate is, but considering they make it so easy to get done here I'm happy to overpay if that's the case. But I get the sense that they charge a fair price here. The only downside is it's a small shop and the lot next door is undergoing major construction, so it can be difficult to get in here when it's busy. Just try to go on off times and you're golden. read more

I had multiple coupons for other smog places all very close by. I called the others: First "machine not working", Second "cash only with that coupon", and third "that coupon appointment only, no walk in". WTF? I read on reviews of the "machine not working" place to instead go to "SMOG SOLUTIONS". 100% perfect service, took credit card (same price as cash), fixed price, fast in and out, and exactly the same price as the coupon deals with no "fine print" exceptions. This guy is kind and respectful, answered the phone when I called. I even ran into a local acquaintance waiting for his car so clearly a very well-known resource. I'll never fall for advertising/coupons again. Just go here! Enter eastbound Venice (quick right after Overland Blvd., watch for signs, lots of construction). read more

Nice guy fast service... It was not too pricey I would go there again And again. The owner was really cool

The BEST smog center I've ever had the pleasure of getting my Jeep serviced at! Super responsive, excellent customer service, friendly, and the best price in town. You can't beat this spot! My check engine light came on two days before my smog test. Of course. Took my Jeep to Smog Solutions where the super nice gentleman told me it was the EVAP line (this is NOT a surprise, the EVAP is the bane of my Jeep's existence), but he was able to tighten the cap, no problem, and told me to just take it to my mechanic and have them clear the code. Which I did. The mechanic huffed and puffed a little because there wasn't an issue for him to repair (i.e. charge me up the wazoo for), but ultimately he just ran the system and it was clear. So back to Smog Solutions I go to complete the smog test and get my dollars to the DMV for registration. Grateful for their honesty and pleasant way they handle their business. read more

$60 weekday smog check. No appointment but he took me right away. I was done & out of there in 10 minutes. The service was efficient, prompt & friendly. It's a smog check, what else can you ask for? read more

I hadn't noticed that I needed a smog test (Got the bill, wrote the check.) When I got a love letter from the DMV, I decided to get a smog ASAP. Smog Solutions is near my home. I called and went right over immediately (but I had to wait 20 minutes for my smog test.) The test took 10-15 minutes, so I was out and about in 35 minutes or less. Can't complain about that! read more

I called last week to inquire about availability and pricing of smog checks. The former location I patronized closed (according to Yelpers), so I was seeking a new location. I was in love with the other shop and the owner was so cool, so it was off-putting to have to find a new shop to have a smog check. I called another business and did not like the conversation with the person who answered. This location was my 2nd call. I was greeted so warmly. The gentleman was so kind, I decided to have my smog check done here. I showed up and one car was ahead of me. I waited longer for him to finish with that customer than my actual smog check took. He told me it would take 10-minutes. Not even. My vehicle passed and I paid the $65 fee for my SUV. When I got home, I was able to pay my renewal fee online. Smog checks are different here than my former favorite shop. This gentleman was really thorough. He went under my vehicle with a mirror, lifted the hood and also held a flashlight to look around the engine. Just an FYI from my mechanic: If your 'check engine' light is on, it is an automatic FAIL at a smog check. Some people may not be passing because of this. If you have fluid leaks, consider having them repaired, because he will check for leaks as well. Not sure if they impact your ability to pass a smog check, though. I am very pleased. I highly recommend this location and would absolutely return. Quick, comparably priced, thorough and SO polite. read more

Super fast and professional service. A car was being tested before mine, but I only waited about 10 minutes at the very most. The tech who did the test was polite and professional and I was out of there in no time. Would most definitely recommend this place and will definitely go there again. read more

Fast, thorough, and congenial . I Was sent by my mechanic and I will return soon with another car when it is time for it!

Call and ask for the price first. I have been there before and had no problem. I was just suprised that the price for a smog check was $65.oo cash only. I had a coupon for $38.00 at another place and thought Smogs were about the same. Lesson learn call ask first . Next time I will go somewhere else. read more

Was 68 out the door but happy to pay the higher price as my truck was smogged fast took less than 10min and the owner I believe his name is Francisco was super nice and helpful. read more

Went to the business on Venice. Beware! Yelp coupon is only good on weekends!! $60 otherwise.. The building looks like something out of Texas chainsaw massacre but otherwise it's fine. The person there was nice and it was efficient. They have a new location on Washington. Haven't been. read more

Very nice woman invited me to sit as she did the smog check. She got right on the check. Reasonable prices. I will come back! read more

I came here after dealing with various shady smog shops around town and I can truly say Francisco is a stand up guy and runs a great Star Certified smog shop! My car is rather particular and Francisco made sure everything was perfect as he double checked the OBD codes before running the scan to make sure the car was good to go. His staff are very friendly and welcoming and the entire process won't take more than 10 minutes once you're up to bat. I will definitely be taking my cars here in the future as this is one of the few honest Smog Shops and garages around town. They are however moving in the next few months so be sure to check out their new location. California has some of the most shady, overpriced DMV and BAR practices in the country, but shops like this make it a little less painful. Thanks Francisco! read more

The whole crew was courteous and the service was fast. Thanks, guys!! There is really nothing else to say :) read more
