Southport Smog

Tony was super efficient! There was a car ahead of me so Tony had me fill in my info on a form while I waited. I was in and out in about 25 mins. Great service and quick! Will return once my vehicle needs another smog! Tip- I also used a Groupon deal!

I'm not really sure how much you can say about a smog place, but it was everything I was hoping for and nothing I wasn't. They were fast and friendly, with a very reasonable price. They only seem to have one testing bay so I can see there being an extended wait during busy times, but I was done in 10 minutes. Something to note, they share a parking lot and building structure with an Arco gas station so it's a little easy to miss it and drive by.

Upfront, quick, and knowledgeable.

Excellent service, didn’t need an appointment. Showed up and 30 minutes later it was my turn (really quick service).

The reason for my 5 star is as follows:
The car was originally from the mid-west and a federal car (but has a Cali cat put on it). Because the federal cars are slightly different than the Cali cars (but can be made legal in Cali) and based on what people said online, there are smog places that have no idea what they are doing and will wrongly fail a someone for those small differences (even if addressed and the car is legal). So naturally, I was pretty worried any place I brought the car that the tech might unfamiliar with it and wrongly fail it...

THANKFULLY that worry completely unnecessary. Tony (the tech who smogged the car) took one look at the car, knew what the situation was, and even double checked to make sure he knew the laws/that he was right before testing it!! He was awesome, super nice, and knowledgeable. I was so relieved, I’ll be coming here for now on.

Fast, friendly, affordable. Would recommend

this place has the best techs of any smog test location. Always polite, interested inhow you are doing, and compliments you on the cleanliness of your vehicle. They will answer any questions you may have and if they dont have the answer they will get it for you before you leave. Ihave been taking my vehicles here for several years and have always been treated with respect and kindness.
