I had called before hand to make sure they can see the model/make of my car. I cannot remember the name of who answered but she was very friendly and welcoming. When I got there there was a line of people already, we just wait for our turn to move our cars in place. They have a sitting area next to the cars and a small room with a TV if you don't want to wait in your car. Overall I think I was there a little over an hour which was pretty good considering there was a few people ahead of me. read more

So far this place is good, came in on a Saturday. Yes it's open on Saturday, new ownership maybe realized there's money to be made. Good job!! Lot's of smog shops on this street, but this one was pretty quick and friendly. Plenty of seating in the waiting area the tv was a plus. I'll be back. read more

I have always received top-notch service from Robert and Felix. I started with smog checks years ago and have now brought several cars there for other purposes - had pre-buy inspections done on two different vehicles, as well as brakes, shocks, and engine work. I appreciate their willingness to diagnose problems -- I do a lot of my own work, and they have been great in letting me know what is wrong. As a result, I've chosen to take all my cars there for repairs beyond my ability. Appreciate their honesty and forthrightness. They get my repeat business. read more

This place is the best in Bakersfield! Honest and professional. I sold a newer vehicle, recently. I thought I had smog it to transfer the title. He said based on his research on the type and year of my vehicle, I did not need a smog to transfer the ownership. He could of just did the smog to collect his money, but instead he went out of his way to stop me from wasting my money. that's why, I also keep going back to Southwest Smog. read more

I've had my car there twice in the last 3 months to get smogged + a tune-up. (They've expanded beyond just smog testing.) The owner, Mr. Barrett, & his mechanic have been GREAT to me. They've been very courteous & friendly, so I absolutely don't understand the other review one bit (but that was written 11 months ago & things may have changed since then.) My car does not run on "courtesy & friendliness" however. I'm happy to report that the tune-up performed at the first of this year is working just fine (from a car that was dying during stops) & the smog test passed easily (this is the 2nd time I've had it smogged there). My Camry has almost 130 thousand miles on it so I know it may not the easiest car to work on --although it IS a Camry. They didn't try to sell me anything extra & I felt that the prices were right. The bottom line is that I trust this shop. read more
