I went there today with my basically stock car. They looked under the hood and saw a CA legal aftermarket air intake and asked me for the E.O. Number. I had no idea what it was. They then said they would do me a favor and abort the test or just allow me to fail as a modified vehicle. I choose the abort option and they said they still had to charge me. Heck they never even hooked the car to the machine or did anything but look under my hood. I then found another place that smogged it with no problem but it cost a little more. Guess you get what you pay for. I'll never be back! Stay away! . read more

Just went to get my car smogged this afternoon. Got there at 1:50PM and the place closes at 2:00. When I got there it was 92 degrees and I was the third one in the queue; normally when it gets close to closing time and you show up at any store at the last minute you get sub-standard service because everyone just wants to go home. I know I would want to get out and back to my air-conditioned house! However despite the last-minute arrival and oppressive heat, Danny just smiled and waved and said he'd get right to my car. His work was quick and when the check was completed he gave me step-by-step instructions on getting my registration renewed, took his time in doing so and was really friendly and answered all my questions. I'm surprised and puzzled by the low ratings because this is the 2nd time that I brought my car(s) in to get smogged and his service has been consistently fast and friendly; I would definitely recommend him. read more

Fair price for smog check in Irvine - $50 cash or $55 credit card. Probably the best price you can get in Irvine. Fortunately when I arrived at Super Smog, there were no cars. The smog check literally took 5 mins or less...faster than I could finish eating my kind bar. I don't understand other smog checks that take 1 hour and charge you more for a luxury (i.e. BMW) car to get smogged. Don't go to those as the smog check is no different for any car...they are ripping you off! read more

Life savers! Had to get a smog check within the next day or my stickers would expire, so good ole' Yelp pointed me to these guys. $49.00 included electronic submission to DMV. In and out within 20 minutes (tops!). Super nice guy, quick service and didn't push additional services. Highly recommend!! read more

Quick in and out. Had my car tested and was in and out in about 15 minutes. No wait, I called prior to arriving just to verify that there wasn't a line. read more

Loved going here! Had to take my car in for a smog check and I normally get my car work done in the same plaza. They recommended Super Smog since it was a few garages down, and I really enjoyed my experience there! The owner was super friendly, and took care of my car quickly and professionally. Within 15 minutes my car had been inspected and was good to go! I'm glad I went here for my smog check and I will definitely be back the next time I have to get it checked! read more

5-star average from 95 reviews!? Well, count me in. Drove in on a Monday morning, one car had just finished and drove off. My car went right in and in less than 10 minutes, it was done. $50 cash including certificated ($55 if credit card). This was the most efficient and painless smog check experience for me ever. Will tell all my family and friends and will definitely take my other car next time. This place is so quick, no wonder there are no magazines laying around. Yelpers rock. Five stars really mean Five stars. read more

I had to change ownership on a car I had just purchased from a neighbor and to do that a smog check certificate is required. When we pulled up, there were two cars already ahead of us. There's no real place to sit down and there are no magazines or treats, so if you're looking for first class comfort this isn't the place for you. But Danny IS extremely friendly and fast! He was done in 15 minutes with the other two carss. When I explained my situation to him, he knew EXACTLY what I was talking about and we were done in ten minutes. I've seen that some individuals think that Danny is trying to make an extra buck out of some cars, but I can promise you all he's trying to do is help. If you want a cheap smog check with a short waiting time, this is the place for you! read more

What a rip off. He will charge you for a full smog inspection even if he knows there is something wrong before he even starts the smog test. Then charges $37 for a retest plus the state certificate fee. He is not helpful at all. Won't tell you what you need to do. Has bad attitude. We usually go to the smog station at the end of the complex but his smog tech was off. Won't be going back here. read more

I will not go anywhere else for Smog inspection/test. Danny is awesome and the whole process has never taken more than 20-30 minutes. We have been taking our cars to Super Smog for close to 10 years now!!! read more

Thank you Yelpers for the recommendation. Everything that everyone has said was true. I came to see Danny on Saturday morning at 10am, and there was one other person ahead of me. And even waiting for that customer didn't take long! 10-15 minutes, DONE! As mentioned, it's $50 if you're paying cash/check. A couple of more bucks for credit. I know there are other places that charge less, but I'd rather pay more for fast, experienced and honest service. read more

In and out in less than 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Like everyone else said, make sure you gps to the correct address in Irvine not in Tustin. read more

Danny runs a great business! It's not something you need often and don't have time to study when you do. He's honest, knowledgeable, friendly, quick and reasonably priced. Now had more than 6 smogs done and always great service. He's quick, but expect at least a 30-minute wait at lunch rush or weekend afternoons. read more

First of all, I give special thanks to the Yelpers out there who reviewed this business. WIth your great reviews, I chose Super Smog to get my car checked out. When I arrived, my champagne colored 1993 Honda Accord was seen right away from Danny. He was very personable,. friendly, and went straight to business. The shop was very nice and neat, and the service was fast and excellent! I would recommend this shop to have your car smogged!!!! It was a pleasure meeting you Danny! read more

I've been going to Super Smog for several years now. I set an appointment and Danny has me "in and out" in around 10 minutes from the time I arrive. Can't get any better than this. Another great thing, Danny is a car enthusiast, so he understands cars. He also used to "track" his cars at Willow Springs International Raceway. Before learning about Super Smog/Danny, I brought my Porsche GT3 to another Smog place. The person at that place did not have a clue on how to smog the car. Since learning about Danny, I bring both my Porsches to Super Smog whenever I need a smog check. Highly Highly recommended! read more

Super Smog - Super Smog - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Irvine, California

See all

Quick and easy. Was in and out in 15 mins. Is qualified Test Only Station. $50 included the $8.25 cost to transmit to DMV.... Be careful of other stations that advertise the $36.95 specials etc, often those prices do not include the $8.25 fee which they will tack on after the fact. read more

Super Smog is my new place for getting smog checked. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. The process literally took a little over 9 minutes, from the time Danny (technician) gets into my car until returning the keys back to me. The total cost was $50 (paid by check). I fully recommend Super Smog without hesitation. Keep it up Danny! Thanks. read more

who waits until the day before their car registration is due to get a smog check? ME!! I was super stressed out because I procrastinated and put it off until the very last minute. I called Super Smog and they said that it can be done in 10 minutes and the info will be sent to DMV overnight. I got there at 5p and was out of there in 10 minutes, paid $53. This was the easiest thing I've ever had to do for the DMV. Will definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone I know. read more

Smog check only took 10 minutes! Danny is friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. Will definitely be back here the next time I need to get my car smog checked! read more

Checked yelp for a smog station near my place. super smog was on top of the list. 5*s and awesome reviews proved to be right. I'll be back next week w/ my van. new smog place for me. read more

Easy, affordable and fast. What more do you want from a smog check shop? For someone who loathes any type of maintenance or checks on their car, this was painless and I will come here again in the future. Hours: Open 8:30AM-5:30PM Mon-Fri and Sat 9:00AM-2:00PM. read more

Who knew getting a DMV required smog check could be so painless? I was in and out of there in under 10 minutes and paid $50 via check! Danny was very nice and helpful and showed me exactly what to keep and what to send to the DMV. For a smog check, you can't go wrong giving your business to Super Smog! read more

Professional service at a reasonable price. However, I got there right when they opened and was third in line. Not their fault, but it still would have been nice to be first :-) Also, they could use a better waiting area, even just some deck chairs outside. Overall, four stars, because what matters most is the service and price. read more

As many reviewers already mentioned, this place is quick! Arrived a little before 9:30 AM on a Saturday morning and was out by 9:45! The technician was also very friendly and we chatted about road racing at the local tracks with his M3s and STi. I paid $50 cash and it was well worth the convenience and service. Will definitely be returning for all my smog checks! read more

Great smog place great price . Owner was willing to match competitors price . Was in and out in less then 20 minutes .

I had been putting off and putting off getting my SMOG test. I didn't even need an appointment. I had both my cars SMOG'd in less than 30 minutes. Danny is THE BEST. He is quick and efficient, and he gave me a little discount for writing a check. I am ONLY going to go here whenever I need a SMOG test. read more

WOW! What a great guy. In and out in 10 min flat. Passed! Don't think twice. Go to this guy ASAP.

I went there because of all the positive ratings here on yelp and I was not disappointed. I called him and he said to come right in, he said he would be there until 5:30, I called him at 5:15 and asked him if he could wait as I was on my way as traffic was bad. He said no problem. I got there and he was friendly and professional. In and out in 15 minutes as others posted. He gave me the DMV paper, told me what I needed to know, and I was on my way. I would recommend Super Smog to everyone. read more

This smog check was very professional and fast. The person working there is a very kind man that will quickly smog check your car in about 10 minutes. Overall I was greatly satisfied and would recommend this place if you need a smog check. read more

I won't go anywhere else. This facility is the best ever. Have been coming here for many years. I recommend you go here.

Danny helped me out today, nice guy and was super fast. I called ahead of time to check his schedule. Less than 10 mins in and out.

I was blown away about how quick and easy this was! I dashed out of work telling them I would be 45 minutes to an hour and I was actaully back in about 20 minutes! I pulled right in, talked to Danny, he took the car keys after a very quick registeration process and 10 minutes later done! To top it off I saved about $10 from the place I used to go to....now Super Smog will get my money and my referrals!! read more

Just went today, this is my very first Yelp review ever that place is THAT good. Went at lunch on Friday, zero wait. The whole thing took maybe 15 minutes. It's very no-frills but I didn't care...I just wanted to go in, get it done, then go back to work. Their prices are posted on the wall, I paid $54 (the smog plus the certificate). I have no idea if that's a good price or not, this is the first time I've had to smog my car since buying it. If I paid $10 extra but it got me out an hour earlier than other places, that's fine by me! read more

Fast, efficient and informative... I take both my cars here every year and I think this is the spot in Lake Forest for a SMOG.

Danny you are awesome. I have been in sales and customer service for years and Danny is top notch. I needed to get my car that I purchased used smogged before the DMV would give me the registration so while I was at the DMV in Laguna Niguel I yelped to find out the best / closest place to get my smog test done. I called a couple of places that quoted me crazy prices like $100 and up (are you serious, for a smog check? You better change my oil, rotate my tires, and clean my windows on top the smog for that price.) Danny told me to just head on down, which I did and I was seen within 10 minutes of arrival. I was in and out with in 15 minutes. Thank you Yelp for all the reviews on this place I would have never found out about Super Smog and the superb customer service from Dannny if it wasn't for you. I highly recommend coming here if you need a smog check read more

As others have said super fast. I was promptly attended to and was in and out in 10 minutes. Everyone was professional and friendly. Danny was cool and Steve was awesome. read more

Danny runs a super smooth, super friendly business with super customer service. I had an issue with the VIN/year of my car that caused a lot of discrepancy and confusion but Danny worked with me every step of the way to make sure I got the personal care I needed, in a timely manner, and made sure I got the best deal in town. Hands down one of the best business people in Orange County. read more

Took my car in for smog check today.I had called ahead of time to get a quote over the phone . I forgot to tell them that my car is a SUV, nevertheless, they honored their quoted price and charged me the same. Very friendly service. I do recommend them to anyone needed car service.

Maybe this is a learning experience for both Super Smog and me, but I still feel cheated. I went to get my smog check, after about 5 minutes the owner came in and said the car didn't pass. My car is a Honda Accord so this was surprising since I keep it in very good mechanical shape. The owner then asked if I had and recent service done on the car or changed the battery? I told the owner I had just changed the battery the day before. He said that when you change the battery you have to drive the car 100 miles or so for the computer to reset all the levels.He then handed me a bill for $41 and told me to come back after driving for a few days. to do a re-test-- for $37. Really? He could have asked me the service or new battery question before he started the test. Well, I will drive for a few days and get a re-test---at a different shop. Can't see giving this place $84 for a smog test and re-test. read more

my father had called inquiring if they have a "dont pass dont pay" deal. The guy on the phone says,"i'll let you pass if you pay my rent"...strange. read more
