West Valley Smog

This place is horrible! Worst customer service on the planet, the smug little tech was so rude, and wouldn’t even give his name He failed me and instead of giving me the heads up so I could go and get the issue fixed and come back and pass. (Which I still would have paid) Instead he just input into the system and charged me $ 55. Next time I go back to Eric’s smog in Encino where they don’t screw their patrons!

Great smog place! They had a coupon for the lowest price in the area. In and out in 15 minutes. No complaints and very easy.

This is my second time here. They only have one bay, but we didn’t have anyone ahead of us either time. This time, we got there around 10:15 on a Wednesday. I gave them paperwork for the wrong car, which slowed things down a bit, but I think we were still done in about 20 minutes.
The total, including the cert fee, came to $ 44 after the online coupon, which I mentioned but didn’t have to show. I’d be prepared to show it, just in case.
FYI, if I remember their signs correctly, they don’t take rewards cards for any amount, and only take debit cards or cash for totals over $ 60. Credit card fees can really cut into a low profit margin. We paid cash.

A few years ago I bought a 1991 BMW. Upon purchase, I took the car to the DMV in T.O. to register it. Much to my surprise I was required to obtain a smog certificate. I took it to a place in T.O. and failed. The tech told me I needed a new catalytic converter to the tune of $ 2,500. I called the previous owner who told me to find a shop that knew how to smog a BMW. I called several shops and stumbled upon West Valley Smog. The car passed with flying colors! No problem. I became a customer due to the exceptional customer service that the owner provided. Sorry to say that I have to agree with another reviewer — the employees seem less than pleased and hostile to customers. This place needs, «Undercover Boss».

Couldn’t have gone any better or easier. Walked in and was out in less than 15 minutes! Plus the fact that I was also able to take care of my registration right on the spot for a small fee was great!

Absolutely the best place to smog your car, especially if the owner Mark is present. Mark not only understands the smog process and back and forth, but he is also an established mechanic who understands cars, computers, analyzers, etc. With that said, where the added value really surfaces is if any sort of trouble shooting is required, Mark is excellent at that and I highly recommend his shops over all other competitors.

You kind of feel like you are inconveniencing these guys when you go in there to get your smog done. But, that aside. They’re quick and get the job done. beats the hell out of going to the DMV.

If you want a quick and affordable smog check, this is the place to go! After searching a smog check place that doesn’t rip you off, I stumbled upon this place after searching on Unilocal.
This shop is located past the goodwill store on LA blvd on Sinola. It’s in the very back of the lot, next to a different car/​auto shop. Parking can be tight but there is parking available.
Since I brought my car back to Cali from Michigan, I didn’t know what I needed to get done and where, but the guy that helped me told me since my car is considered from a different state, even though I purchased it in Cali, that I would need to go to the DMV to get it into the system. But I guess if I need it done again later on, I wouldn’t have to submit my smog test to DMV directly, which is great to know.
I was in there for maybe 20 mins and was also able to get a discount by showing a coupon that was posted on their website. They just do smog test and don’t fix problems in the cars but I would also highly recommend them. I’ll definitely be coming back here!

Best way to smog and register your vehicle! It honestly couldn’t be any easier, done in 15 to 20 minutes. I’m telling everyone I can about this place. $ 10 to avoid the DMV? I’ll pay it!

I came in all excited to use my coupon that I found in the penny saver and the clerk crumbled up my coupon and threw it in the trash. What the hell? I’m not sure if they always honor the coupon price regardless of having a coupon or not. It ended up being $ 44 for the smog with electronic submittal to the DMV and with tax. They were done within 15 minutes and my car passed and that’s all I cared about. The clerk was informative, it wouldn’t hurt if he smiled a little, but hey my car passed, so I’ll take that. You also have the option to pay for your registration, so you can get your tags on the spot for an extra $ 20, or you can just go online and pay for the registration and wait a couple of days for it. You can take your pick!

Looking for a top-​notch place that can do you smog certification efficiently? The guys at West Valley Smog is the place to go. Fast and efficient, got my smog done in less than 45. min… that was with 2 other people in front of me.

Fast, friendly and very efficient. No complaints with the business.

Quick, good CS and reasonably priced.
The only reason that they received 4 stars is because their company policy indicates that if a customer uses a «rewards» (Visa, MC) card they are to be charged an additional percentage for the transaction to cover the higher transaction fee they are charged.
As a small business owner I have never been charged an additional transaction fee for accepting a «rewards» card, except Amex and suggest the business owner shop around for a new credit card processing company. Luckily I had a debit Mastercard on me that I was willing to use otherwise I would have had no choice but to go somewhere else!!!

Moving into CA with 2 cars to title, register, smog & VIN. I was in & out of West Valley Smog in about 45 total… amazing to say the least!

I recently had a smog test done on another vehicle and because I waited til the last minute I paid too much… twice as much actually. I wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice which is how I came across West Velley Smog.
I came and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. The employees were extremely nice, professional and presentable and so was the establishment which was clean and well organised. Just on this alone I would recommend but did I mention I only paid $ 44 after using their mobile website coupon. Could not have had a better experience.
Also, for an extra $ 20 with smog test or $ 25 without they will process your DMV registration and will give you the new registration ID card and tags on the spot.
I’ve had smog test done many times and I highly recommend them.
I will be coming guaranteed.

Excellent experience. 16 minutes in and out. Clean, respectable. Best smog experience yet.
