Smog Test Only

Efficient, professional, courteous, what more do you want?
Had my Jeep TJ smogged here on Saturday AM and was out in 30 minutes or less.
Thanks Miramar Smog Test Only!

Horrible Customer Service and Huge Language Barrier! Avoid this business ! I took my 2010 Honda Civic to get a basic smog test. Without my knowledge the Smog Check is effected if you had recently replaced the battery. I could not pass Smog due to the OBDII reader was not working due to a battery change. The technician could not help the situation due to his bad English skills and could only point to something in a large book that explained the situation. I had to call the dealership who replaced the battery and they informed me I had to drive the car 100 miles to resart the OBDII reader ! Who knew ! They have a wall of useless signs with all kinds of warnings but none warn about a recent battery change. They refused to work with me and do another smog check without money, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE NEVER REPLACE YOUR BATTERY BEFORE A SMOG CHECK AND NEVER USE THIS BUSINESS!

Reasonable price, fast and friendly!

Fast, excellent service! I needed a smog test and this place was highly recommended by other Unilocal reviewers. I can see why – they’re fast, friendly, and extremely efficient. I was in and out in half an hour. They have a $ 10 coupon on their web site, so I only paid $ 65 for my smog test. Will definitely keep going back to this place!

Amazing service. I called because I was running late and desperately needed a smog check and the kind gentleman stayed open and waited for me!!! So grateful. He was fast and efficient. It was $ 50 – 60 I can’t remember exactly, but I’d definitely recommend!

Efficient and honest. A place where you can see what they are doing with your car from the waiting room.

My husband has been taking our cars here for some time now and recommended that I go to Smog Test Only for the smog check needed on my Honda. Having never taken a car in for a smog test, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Happily the shop was quick, efficient, and friendly! Without asking I was given a 10% discount on the test and the girl at the desk even remembered my husband’s name! We now both can highly recommend this shop!

Efficient and informed service. Was able to test out-​of-​state 2014 911 when others in area didn’t have the equipment. Used by Porsche San Diego to test their cars. Works for me!

Avoid this place at all costs! They failed my BMW for no reason but they let it cool down! These guys are crooks and will take your money. There are much better smog places to take your car ton San Diego. If there was a such thing as negative stars I would give it to this place. The stole my money and yes I am mad! Don’t let them steal yours. QuikSmog in Pacific Beach is much better because they will NOT take your money if you fail. Only if you pass, this just clearly proves how they are not crooks.

Smog only test station with very fast and professional service. About $ 60 for normal cars

Decided to get my car smogged on a Sat morning and went to one of the places on Black Mt road with Penny Saver coupon in hand. I get in there and he says it’ll be about 2.5 hours. Dang. I say c-​ya and turn to my good olé pal Unilocal.Unilocal says hey there is a highly rated smog station just down the road on Miramar. I call and he says come on in. I drive over and he gets me in and out fast, maybe about 20 minutes of waiting cause there was one guy ahead of me who had an appointment. I’d like to keep this place a secret but others will write reviews so wth. I’ll gladly pony up the no coupon price if it will save me time.

Bare bones smog test only as the name implies. Nothing fancy on the inside but it is super fast, professional and friendly.

I have been coming here for years. Great service reasonable prices. I never have to wait very long. The technician works constantly. You never have to wonder why your car is taking long. Because the technician is always, ALWAYS working hard. Very pleasant experience each and everytime!!!

This place is great. Fast and friendly and take appointments which is super important to people with busy lives and smog price is reasonable about $ 60.00

Quick and friendly service! My car was done in pretty much 15 minutes, and you don’t have to call in for an appointment. Will be coming back for future smog checks!

I have been using Smog Test Only since 2001. I have taken all three of our family cars there even when it wasn’t required by the DMV to go to a test only station. I have been dealing with the same friendly lady behind the counter and the same mechanic does the testing.
The waiting area is kinda plain with chairs, a coffee table with lots of reading materials, and a TV. So the waiting is bearable. Appointment is not needed but they may not be able to get to your car right away. They usually tell you it’ll take a hour to do the smog test but most of the time I am in and out of there in about half an hour. The do have two test units so they can cycle cars through.
I have a car that is borderline passing. So I always make an appointment and drive up and down I-​15 to make sure the car is good and hot when I get there and they can get me in right away.
The cost is in line with other test only stations. After your first test they will send you a post card reminder for your next test and it’s worth a $ 10 discount.
As you can tell I like the place and I recommend it to those needing the biennial test even if it don’t require going to a test only station.
