West Coast Smog

Been going here for years. It’s the best deal around. No nonsense. Get in, get out, get smogged.
It appears to be owned/​operated by a nice guy who provides an honest service for a straight forward price that is cheaper than anyone else around. He keeps the overhead low so his prices stay low. No gimmicks, no receptionists, no second employees, just smog. It is what it is. I have sent my wife without me and never worried about it.
BTW, Unilocal seems to be hiding thid listing in searches unless you search West Coast Smog directly. Even when you are at the place, Unilocal doesn’t bring up the listing. That’s pretty shady Unilocal. Shame, Shame…

Fast and reasonably priced. You get popcorn while you wait. 15 dollar off coupon online.

Extremely fast and efficient! Love the free popcorn while you wait. Don is the best around. No nonsense and to the point. Make an appointment and bring cash for a better discount.

Free popcorn and coffee while you wait. OH I’LL TAKE THAT! Show them a review you posted on Unilocal and get a free soda. The man at the shop was super friendly. Luckily for me I didn’t even have to wait long at all from start to finish eventhough I did not have an appointment.

Place gets a lot of bad reviews due to confusion by the store next door but the guy at the front desk was really nice. I usually feel uncomfortable going in these type of shops by myself but he told me the waiting time (which was like 20 minutes) and I was in and out super quick! They have drinks inside and a popcorn machine and a TV so you aren’t standing around bored. Definitely will come back and recommend to my friends!

Highly recommend… is open till 6:30pm not 5:00 like the majority. No appointment needed… fast but thorough professional service. $ 15 off coupon works and priced right!

Quick service and very professional. Walked in a got seen right away. Reasonable price

I’ve used this shop three or four times now and I must say it is the cleanest and most professional smog shop I’ve been into. Free coffee and a nice sitting area. Approximately $ 36 to smog my vehicle. Appears to have a good thing going so I would recommend calling for an appointment.

Awesome quick service for a very very reasonable price. Wonderful that they stay open later then most which is 630p. Very perfessional and courteous with their «FYI» signs. Would definitely recommend to others and will go again when I need their services.

My son recommended this place and it was great. Right in right out. Polite and courteous. I’m currently registering my next vehicle and I’ll be going right back to West Coast smog.

I called in at 6:15pm and they were about to close. The guy there told me to come on in. Service was fast and I was treated very well, great courtesy. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a smog check.

Don is a a great down to earth guy. I had been failed by smog plus auto in mo vall because I didn’t have an eo# on the aftermarket intake of my 04 f-​350 diesel, the people were rude and treated me like a criminal, took my $ 46 and told me to go online to the manufacture then write the number down on a piece of paper and tape it to the intake and that they would retest for $ 45 more to pass. Don told me over the phone there is no law against the tech looking up the eo# and that an aftermarket intake was exempt for my truck anyways. Took my truck to Don, he printed out the appendix for the law on my intake so I could get my money back from the other place. he knows his stuff and isn’t trying to rip people off like other shops. Just an honest man trying to make an honest living. highly recommend
to add to all that I had dropped my dmv print out in the parking lot and he called me to let me know and then even dropped it off at my house for me. thanks again Don for everything! see you next time I need a smog

Looking around town, prices were grouped around 60 $ or more than 60 $ for my 02′ civic to be smogged. This place had it for under 50. Well Done!

Guy at the counter was very unfriendly and told me he was going to take lunch so my wait would be 1 hour and 15 minutes. I wasn’t about to do that so I went 5 min down the road to Loma Linda smog and received excellent service. I will be going there from now on.

If you need to get your vehicle smogged, I strongly recommend/​suggest, WEST COAST SMOG! My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the owner’s (his name is Don) professional and friendly manner… he turned a rather mundane and boring experience (who wants to spend the day getting their vehicle smogged???) into an unexpectedly nice afternoon! His prices are extremely reasonable and we were, «in and out» in record time!
In a, «nut shell», we were MORE than satisfied with the smog inspection and the outstanding service provided to us by Don… he runs a great business and is a great serviceman!

I can’t comment on every aspect of the business because I was treated so rudely that I left before they did anything to my car.
I called on my way over to ask a few questions and find out wait time. After a lot of ringing the person that picked up the phone was grumpy and as soon as I opened my mouth he hung up on me. I figured well that must be a mistake. Since I was in the area I figured I would stop by.
I waited at the counter for probably 5 – 10 minutes. Finally someone from the shop came in to talk to me. He hardly gave me a chance to ask my questions and when I inquired about the wait time for this afternoon he rolled his eyes and said 3 hours.
While waiting at the counter I noticed there is free candy. (well on small lollipop sign for additional said 10¢) Free coffee (well the first cup is free $ 1 after that) free popcorn (you get the idea). Kinda makes you look cheap just saying.
As far as prices go they charge $ 35 out the door. You can find coupons online as well to make it cheaper.
I ended up going somewhere else. Yeah it was marginally more expensive but I didn’t have to wait for 3 hours and they guy I went to was grateful for my business and I was in and out in less than a half hour. Doubt I will ever be back.

On Friday afternoon I walked into the business (see center photo below) where there was a sign posted that the office might be busy because the technician might be working on a car. I did not have an appointment. In less than 5 minutes (Don) appeared and informed me he was doing a smog check on a car and would be busy another 5 minutes. Soon after that he came in. The office says to show coupons before starting, so I asked if I needed to show a coupon. I think the coupon is $ 5 off. He told me no. Later he returned and told me my car passed. When I paid I was given the «special» rate. I told him I had been to another Star test only and had not passed. He was very helpful and told me that timing had never been required on my vehicle, and usually there was a sign posted under the hood. (the other smog test location had told me my car failed because of timing). He suggested that I return to the previous location and request a refund. He was very professional, service was quick. West Coast Smog is a STAR test only center. This location should be your go-​to place if your vehicle requires a smog certificate. I would have a problem believing any negative review about this business!

Technician got me in pretty quick considering he was busy working on another customers motorhome. Fun to make small talk with him.

Came in for a smog check. Sign on the door said lunch break was 12:15 — 1:15. I came and sat down waiting at about 12:30 and surprisingly was helped automatically. Despite having food in his mouth as he came out to assist me, he was very friendly and the check was done in about 20 mins and only cost me about $ 38! Definitely recommend checking this place out whenever you need a smog check.

Made an appointment this morning. Got in today on schedule and got out within 30 minutes with the required documentation. This place gets busy so I would recommend you book an appointment. Also, he noticed my tires were about to blow out and informed me of this! Thanks to him, I am not getting a blown tire today. Appreciate your concern!
