Quick and easy, I was in and out in 15 minutes. Plus there was a $10 coupon that I used to make it $66 total. Very affordable, professional, and convenient. I recommend read more

I purchased my smog through Groupon & on Groupon they inform you of an additional 8.25 CA Cert Fee & $1.75 Electronic Fee. When I arrived, the Electronic Fee $2.80 & was described as, "they are charging you to send the document to to STATE & for STATE to send the status of 'pass' or 'fail'" Just be aware but overall, it's your typical smog check experience. read more

I purchased a smog service from Groupon for less than regular price. After smog test was performed. Smog inspector asked for additional money in the amount of $11.05 Dollars. There is no sign posted on front window of this business to inform customers about additional fees charged on top of Groupon payment. Smog inspector, refused to provide me with smog certificate without collecting additional $11.05 Dollars. I will not be returning to this business for future smog test. read more

Came in at 3pm for a smog test. Was helped quickly and was notified that the smog results were sent to the DMV electronically. Went to a DMV kiosk to pay for my registration. Fast, convenient and affordable what more can you ask for. Will for sure be back when I need another smog test. read more

Smogs Just Smogs - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Venice, California

Can a top-tier, exceptional experience at a smog test station be possible? With Eric at Smogs Just Smogs, it is! Picture this: me, my car, and the looming dread of a smog test. I didn't want to go; who does? I showed up to Smogs Just Smogs and thought I would get the cold treatment that can, unfortunately, be common with any auto repair/test. That changed instantly the moment I stepped out of my car. Eric was welcoming and kind! His friendly demeanor put me at ease, and we started chatting as I waited for my car to be tested. Not only was he just an overall nice person, service was quick, professional, and affordable. I know we are all "so busy" in LA, but it was nice to share a smile and conversation. Go see Eric and take a moment to chat while your car is being tested. It can turn what can normally be an unpleasant experience into a great one. Thank you, Eric! I know where to come the next time I need a smog test. read more

Failed smog and didn't tell me. They could have given me a heads up but they did not.

Always fast and friendly service as well as reasonably priced. I only go to this location because they do such a thorough, professional, great job, and the smog test results go immediately to the DMV which I appreciate. Thanks Eric and team! read more

Getting my SMOG CHECK done with Oswaldo was a pleasure! He was very nice and did the job quickly and Professional! He is my new number ONE And this is the Best Smog check in VENICE! read more

Oswaldo gets the job done. The space to park in and turn your car around in is tight. Oswaldo assists with that. Oswaldo is also quick at the smog check and explains the process. I had to go elsewhere earlier and appreciate Oswaldo in contrast. read more

Took a car there to get smogged. Guy asked what year? Replied with 1998. He replied "ugh, I don't have straps, I don't want to do it." That's your job! Stay away from this place. read more

Nice guy, fast service-I was in n out n easy location on Lincoln & Venice right next to the gas station-big sign you can't miss it! ;)

Fast and easy. Friendly service. Needed to get a smog test to renew my registration and this was great. Will come back next time.

I dread taking my car in for maintenance. So even though I'd had the DMV notice that my little Honda Del Sol was due for its biennial smog inspection for a good two months, I waited until a couple days before the deadline to get it taken care of. Since I didn't have any particular place in mind and knew that smog check prices varied a lot, I Googled smog check coupons and found the handy little site www.smogtips.com. Enter your zip code and what kind of smog check you need, and it gives you a list of places in your area with little blurbs on each one and, best of all, coupons you can print out and take with you. That's how I found Smogs Just Smogs. In case you couldn't tell by the name, they only do smog checks. I think Just Smogs would've sufficed, but I guess some people really need it spelled out for them. Smogs. Just. Smogs. Got it? I saw something about SJS being open seven days a week, so I figured I'd go first thing on Sunday morning, assuming that it would probably be less crowded. The coupon I had was for the Santa Monica location (also on Venice Boulevard), but when I showed up I discovered that that location isn't open on Sundays. Some nice guys at the garage next door told me there was another SJS right down the street in Venice that was open on Sundays. (In looking at www.smogtips.com again later, I noticed that it says the Venice location is open seven days a week. It helps to pay attention, people. Now you know and won't make the same mistake I did.) So I headed over to the Venice location (a mere two minutes away) and arrived just as the technician was finishing up with the only other customer. Perfect. He pulled my car in and was done in about five minutes. I figured I probably couldn't use my coupon there (since it was technically for the SJS in Santa Monica), but he took it anyway, no questions asked. The total damage after the coupon was only $46.75, which is definitely less than I've paid elsewhere in the past. On top of the service being so quick, the technician working that day was really cool. After he'd rung me up, he commented that he liked Del Sols and inquired what the sticker on my car meant. It's written in French and translates to: "We're sorry our president is an idiot. We didn't vote for him." When I told him what it said, he smiled and nodded approvingly. Just one more reason to take my car back in another two years for its next smog. read more

OK, you can probably find it for $40 all in, but this place is easy in, easy out. Slight attempt at upsell: $ 51.75 - Labor $ 8.25 - Certificate $ -10.00 - Yelp Coupon $50 total. read more

Perhaps one of the worst experiences with auto services I have ever had. Went in to get my car smog tested. The prices are higher than other smog stations. The individual helping me was rude and after telling me my car failed he told me it would be $30 to retest even though the advertisement on his website said free retest within 90 days. After asking him why it failed he said "I only test." Learn from my mistake. Avoid this place. read more

He said he took a look and it won't pass and I should take it to his friend down the street and would fix it up so it would pass. Instead I took it to Santa Monica Smog Check and Test Only Center on Cloverfield and Pico and it passed. read more

RIPOFF I'm so furious right now . . . So the douchebag smogged my car. It passed all the clean air tests, but I failed because of a "check engine" light. I go to work, tell my boss, and he tells me they will always fail a car with the light. So why was the light on? Because the previous owner of my new car changed the oil himself and forgot to shut off the light for me. I went back to chat because the dude KNEW he was going to fail me when he drove my car into the stall. I knew I was going to be charged again once I fix the light, so I wanted to make sure he understood that when I come back, it was going to be for free. He would have none of it. I "politely" yelled at him, didn't cuss, etc. but am in the process of trying to find out who runs this company so he knows about it . . . except the website has no contact info. Instead, I went to a domain site and found the person who registered the domain, so I hope I'll be able to speak with someone and get some satisfaction. If I do, I will change this review. BUT HEED THIS WARNING: - the dude running the Venice location doesn't operate a proper business - Look for a company that will retest for free if you don't pass the first time read more

Huge scam! Do not go. I usually never write reviews but this place takes the cake... passes in every way but said visual he didn't think it should pass! So failed me. Waste of time, money and conversation.BTW this place is not BBB accredited read more

I checked out the interwebs for a smog check place close by. Smogs Just Smogs fit the bill, AND they accept local coupons! I took a late lunch and headed over there today (Monday afternoon) and there was no waiting, no line. Gustavo was really nice, and had my car done in less than 10 minutes! 2002 BMW Z3. The cost at this time is $50, plus $10 for the certificate. I think if you have a car that is 1995 or older, you have to pay an additional $10 for some extra testing they have to do, but that is on a sign inside the shop. You can print a $10 coupon from their website, or bring in a local coupon from another test only facility, and that will bring the cost down a little, or at least pay for the certificate. I would definitely come here again. Gustavo was very friendly, and the whole process was quick. read more

Don't want to waste a lot of time on these bozos. Don't go here unless you're a fan of the bait and switch. I printed a 29.95 smog check coupon. When I got there I was informed that to get the actual certificate would be another $15.00. After some choice words I peeled out of there and I'm about to start shopping for a more honest place. read more

One of my problems is that I spend an obscene amount of time researching places, then end up not being able to choose. Smog checks are no exception. I generally find it impossible to really distinguish among places when reading reviews online, and also, who spends more than a few minutes researching places to get a smog check (no comment)? My fiance, seeing me going around in internet circles, closed my computer and told me to come to this place "just down the street." He had brought his Roadster here for a smog check without any hiccups. I'm glad he forced me to close my computer. It took me five minutes to drive to Smogs Just Smogs, then another, oh, ten minutes to be back in the car and on the road. Car passed, paid $50. I didn't catch the name of the man working (from other reviews, I will guess it is Gustavo?), but he was so friendly. He asked how I liked my car (it's an old manual Mini Cooper), we chatted for a few seconds. Can't say what else one needs in a smog check. Easy, fast, reasonably priced. read more

Richard is a great guy. Quick, fast, easy smog check! Apparently I need to write more so I'm adding this sentence. read more

These guys do not operate based on their hours. Went by at 2pm on Saturday and they were closing. They gave me a coupon and told me to come back during the week. Came back by at 5pm on a weekday and they were already closed. read more

Fast service. No wait and friendly technician. Exactly what you need for a Smog check.

Had to get a smog check and decided to come by on a Sat. I found a groupon coupon for $35, which doesn't include a $12 certification fee. I was in and out very quickly since there was no wait. The guy helping out was very courteous. Would highly recommend if you need a smog check quickly! read more

Super quick and very helpful! Had to do a fast smog check for the dmv. I called although they were about to close, he waited for me! no waiting line and the check was super fast! Very recommended, good service!! read more

I have a spot on the Eastside that I have taken my cars to for years . I recently moved over to Culver City and it was time to find a smog shop on this side of town . Just smogs happend to be close to my office . So pull in and let the gentleman know I can pick it up later , he said , it will take 5 minutes ??? I was shocked . My other spot always too a minimum 44 minutes . No joke , he hooked it up and was finished within 10 minutes . The owner was cool as hell too. read more

Oswaldo is the man! I rolled right up and he took care of me right away! Such a friendly man. He gave me a great deal. Highly recommend his shop for fast and amazing service. 6 Stars! read more

Awesome place I came here for a smog because the letter from the DMV that I got said I needed a Star Station. Called ahead to schedule an appointment I was told I didn't need one and could come anytime but if I wanted to make one I could. Scheduled anyway. Got there for my appointment it was fairly empty the kid there was doing a smog so he said it was a 5 min wait while he finished. Waited and he was quick and got me out of there in about 25 mins. Quick and painless. smog was $50 bucks with a $10 off coupon I found online. Well rounded place nice and clean. Tech is young but knows what hes doing. Great place highly recommend it. read more

Just had an easy five minute smog check here. Manuel was awesome! I didn't even leave my car - just sat here and sipped my coffee. Info has been sent to DMV and I am on my way! Thanks!! read more

You can get a coupon online for a $40 smog check (it is normally $50). But when you get there, you find out that you have to pay $10 for the certificate, so you really have to pay $50. The guy was very nice. It took about 10-15 minutes, which was really nice. read more

My husband went to this smog check center and was told that the car passed the smog check but there was a "computer glitch" and they would wink wink nod nod and look the other way if he paid the guy $160 cash. My husband left and went down the street and went to another smog place and the car passed the test no problems. I called the company, asked to speak to the manager, and the guy working there told me he is never in the shop because he owns 10 stores. I told him what happened and he tried to explain it away. When I told him I would be reporting this he got very quiet and didn't say anything more. Clearly this company tries to bribe and swingle customers. Beware! read more

Awesome service! Speedy and very nice. I was in and out immediately. So impressive, it took me longer to drive here from half a mile away than it did for the check. read more

This guy will gladly rip you off. First he didn't accept my Yelp 10 dollar off coupon, and then he ran the smog test even though my car wasn't ready and needed to go through a drive cycle. Unlike the good guys, who tell you to go drive on the freeway and come back, this guy will swipe your card like everything is fine, and then tell you that you failed. 51 bucks out the window. Tried to come back and have it retested- 21 dollars for a retesting fee?! And a 8 dollar certificate? Do you mean EIGHT DOLLAR RECIEPT to commemorate the worst service ever !? There's no negotiating with this guy either. Avoid!!!! Go to the one two buildings over! read more

May look a little dilapidated from the entrance but the attendant was very nice and accommodating. Smogs are only $50 and I was out within 10 minutes. Very satisfied! read more

Stopped by here on a Sunday to get my car smog checked. One of those annoying things connected to owning a car. There was only one guy working and he was super friendly and efficient. I ended up waiting about 20-30 minutes total since there was one lady ahead of me. The process was painless and I even saved $10 by printing out a coupon (http://www.smogtips.com). This shop is on Lincoln and very close to the corner of Venice. There is a gas station on the corner and the smog shop is right next door. If you look for a sign that says "Smogs Just Smogs" (as the coupon says) you won't find it so just look for the address and a place that says Smog Checks. I'd come back here but happy it won't be for another 2 years. read more

Oswaldo hooked me up! In and out in 10 minutes. Opens at 8:30am not 8:00am like Google says but he was there early and helped me out.

Oswaldo was great. The entire process took 10 minutes and I didn't even need to get out of the car!

I was very very happy with Gustavo and the other men there. I got a coupon from http://www.smogtips.com/ and when I called to be sure my car was covered, they said sure! Bring it on in. They were nice, easy and even admired my new pretty car read more

Gustavo is friendly and helpful. I was in and out in a it 5 minutes and he honored the yelp discount, even though it's not meant for this location. Easy to get to location for anyone in Venice or passing through. I highly recommend! read more
