Why drivers keep coming back

Honest, fast, and fairly priced.

The reviews below aren’t a fluke. As a test-only station we can’t sell you repairs, so there’s never a reason to fail you unfairly or pad the bill — you get a straight, unbiased inspection every time. Most visits take about fifteen minutes, we e-file your certificate to the DMV the moment you pass, and if your vehicle doesn’t make it, we explain exactly why and what to repair, and point you toward help if you qualify. That’s the experience our customers write about, and it’s the one we aim to give every driver from Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, Foothill Ranch and Laguna Woods.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After finding them online I drove over without a call first Or an appointment.

I was greeted by Ace with a friendly smile and a great sense of humor. He was polite and answered all my questions and since I was a cash paying customer he gave me the coupon discount although I had it in my back pocket I hadn’t presented it yet and he gave me the discount anyway.

I can’t recommend them highly enough if you wanna carefree easy way to get your smog certificate handled, this is the place to go. !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best test only in Lake Forest/Mission Viejo. I take my cars there frequently! Flat fee, no up sells and really kind smog inspector.
