The Smog Spot has the best restroom I've ever seen in an automotive repair / test shop. It's like a high-end hotel.

I came to the Smog Spot to get a smog check on my vehicle so that I could renew its registration. I have to say the quality value of service that I received at the mock spot is beyond words. The owner is very friendly and professional. The shop itself is very clean and high-end. The waiting area is very nice and relaxing. I have to mention the restroom here... It was like being in the restroom at a high-end luxury resort in Las Vegas. I was in and out of here in about 12 minutes at a very affordable price. I highly recommend the Smog Spot.

Smog Spot is a small, owner-operated smog check shop tucked away in a little business complex in Lake Forest. I found it because it was one of the only places open on Sunday, and I'm glad I did, as it turned out to be a diamond in the rough. I brought my older Honda Civic in for a smog check. The price was very reasonable and the whole experience was hassle-free. They've got a nice little waiting room set up, and the owner offered me a water while I waited, which was a nice touch. You can tell he cares about how he runs the place. My car didn't pass on the first try, but the owner took the time to point out that part of my intake needed to be replaced instead of just handing me a fail and sending me on my way. Once I took care of the repair and brought it back, it passed without any issues. Sunday availability, fair pricing, and good old-fashioned customer service. Five stars and a class act!

Found this small business on Yelp! Thanks, Yelpers!! I needed a Star-Certified Smog Check on my 22 year old car, and all it took was 12 minutes to have my smog completed. Very happy! Excellent customer service, and they took great and delicate care of my vehicle. For $48, it's so worth it. He even gave me my change in a $2 bill. WOW!!! Haven't seen those since I was a kid!!! Comfortable waiting area, clear signage, with nice and clean spot. You need an effortless smog, go to the Smog Spot! ALL the positive Yelp reviews are accurate! Most definitely, I'm returning in a couple of years! Highly recommended! And there you have it....

All I have to say is wow! I've been to plenty of smoke shops, and this one has to be the cleanest. I love the interior. It was very welcoming. The couch was clean. The lobby smelled nice, and I liked the big, huge TV. The customer service is fantastic. Sean offered you water or a drink. He takes care of your car and the paperwork. He responds to messages very fast through Yelp. That is a plus because many places don't message you back. I would definitely come here again.
