Smog Simple

Timing is everything the last time I visited I had to wait 45 minutes. This time no waiting and out in 15 minutes. Unbelievable… I was in the shop around 3:45pm no other customers in sight. The technician was very professional, and courteous. The cost was the same $ 45.00 total, smog test and certificate. I will not go anywhere else.

This is my favorite smog test station. I have taken both my cars here for years and the owner is always extremely polite and efficient. There’s usually little or no wait and I’m out of here in 20 minutes. For a smog test station, the shop is very clean. His pricing is also very good.

Quick and efficient. So glad I found this place on Unilocal.I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

Stellar service. Super simple, friendly, honest and the got me in and out fast. Definitely recommend this guy.

Very honest guy. Since I changed the battery on my Enclave, the ODI 2 wasn’t ready and he explained to me that I had to drive for about 40 miles and it worked. When I took it the second time, he remembered gave me a discount.

Quietly efficient, I was in and out of there in under 20 minutes. Located behind Shooters bar you might have time for a quick beer if you run there and back No diagnosis or repair but if you know your car is going to pass this is the place to go. I used the coupon on his website but because I have an SUV there was an additional eight dollar charge. So including the $ 8 SUV charge and $ 8.25 smog certificate charge I was out of there for $ 55 total.

After receiving a variety of quotes from $ 48 — $ 68 for test + certificate I Unilocaled for a smog test center near me & found Kha @ SMOG SIMPLE. Great price, great service & location. I am referring everyone I know to this business. Thank you Kha! ps — I was in/​out of there in under 15 minutes on a Saturday!

The wait time was nominal and the Asian gentleman was very diligent in making sure no one waits for a long time. Will go here again!

Been coming here for about 3 years now, with three different cars in my household. Service is great, fast and simple. Highly recommend this place.

My go to spot for smog check services in Mission Viejo. The owner is super nice, quiet and fast. He almost always has a coupon on his website that will save you about $ 15. Fast, great service.

Mr. Kha Nguyen was great, I paid the same price from 2 yrs ago. In and out in less than 20 mins on early Saturday morning. He also answered few questions I had with some aftermarket upgrades in order to pass smog. Will be back again in 2 years! no complaints! ^_^

While this place doesn’t offer any appointments, smog checks are fast and painless. I came in with my coupon and got it taken care of within 40 minutes as 1 person was ahead of me. The Asian man at first seemed angry when I came in and asked about the smog check, but after he got done with that car he was working with and got to me he cheered up a bit and apologized. If I had to do that all day I’d probably be a bit grumpy. It’s def a hard knock life, but someone’s got to do it.

I went to this place after seeing all the great reviews but was really really really disappointed with my experience. Came in with a coupon (it says additional charge for SUV) which was totally fine but the man working ended up charging me the normal rate ?! Ended up taking my vehicle to another location… simple smog is dead to me… what was the name of this place? Oh that’s right their dead to me why would I care.

I decided to try out Smog Simple because the reviews were great, and it’s located just down the street from me. It was a little difficult to find (it’s all the way around the back of the building) but once I was there, I was very happy with the service. It was very quick and completely stress-​free. No questions, no complications. I got there around 1:00pm on a Friday, with one person ahead of me, and was out by 1:30.
The owner is very friendly and honest as well. I had printed out a coupon from the website. Apparently it was originally a Pennysaver coupon but since Pennysaver closed, the Smog Simple owner decided to honor it anyway, for anyone who brings in the coupon. He said that he noted the coupon in his system so I can get that price for life! It was $ 45 total– $ 37 for the check, plus $ 8 for the certificate. He also briefly reviewed the paperwork with me, showing that I passed, and letting me know exactly what part I needed to send to the DMV with the payment (and he noted that the payment could be online or through AAA if I had a membership). He didn’t need to tell me any of that so I really appreciated the extra effort– most places just do the job and send you on your way– they don’t actually care and want to make your life easier!
I will definitely be back the next time I need a smog check, and recommend this place to anyone.

In the time it took me to have a cigarette and use the restroom this guy was done. I’m extremely impressed. Highly recommended.

$ 37 with coupon. Great place. Come here. Don’t go anywhere else. The owner is very friendly. Honest place. I came at 330 on a Tuesday and it was empty.

This place is great! Have used them for my last two smog checks & they have been great every time. It’s a fast & very easy process. Owner is super nice. I would highly recommend Smog Simple!

I needed a smog check and found this place close to home. It’s a little hidden in the strip mall, but go round back and you’ll see it. If there’s an assuming Asian dude standing by the bay door, it’s Kha, and you’re at the right place.
He’s a cool, funny guy who’ll give your car/​truck a good look over and inspection and get you on your way. Coming from an Asian guy, I can say that he’s your typical Asian in terms of manner and speech. He’s soft spoken and hard working, but he’ll crack a joke out of the blue, so be on your toes and don’t get caught off guard. Overall, I was in and out in 15 minutes. Quick and great service. Highly recommended.

I have no clue why this place has such great reviews. My husband and I just stopped here on Friday morning 7÷11÷14 and the guy working there was so rude to my husband that we left and took our cars to speedy smog down the street. We showed up and asked how low the wait was, he said 40 mins, my husband said no problem we will be back in a couple hours to get the cars and he said we weren’t allowed to do that. He said he had to wait the 40 mins to secure our spot and then wait for the smog. It wasn’t just the fact that you can’t leave your car and pick up later that was the problem. It was the fact that he was so rude about it. Go to speedy smog down the street. We’re already done before I finished writing this review.

Hey, this place is like going to 5 stars spa for cars in need. Owner is cool and nice.
