Jorge is very professional. He examined my car before ran the smog check just to make sure my car was ready for it. Turned out the O2 filter was not and needed to be reset by driving on the freeway for 20+ min.
I planned to drive on the freeway right away, so I could have my smog check complete ASAP. However, I haven't driven my car since Covid, so my tire pressure was low. Toshi San went out of his way and helped me fill the air in all 4 tires without charge me. He was extremely nice and generous, I just can't thank him enough.
Long story short, I came back and passed the smog check. My appreciations to Jorge and Toshi san. I will be back for another smog check. :) :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bryan C.Torrance, CA36486Nov 10, 2023
Overprice smog check fee. All they have to do is plug it into a computer and they're charging over 50 bucks. It's ridiculous it's a rip off.

With the first chance I got to get a smog check, checked out four different locations in a raining Sunday afternoon and only one local place was open... Toshi Auto Smog. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We struck up a conversation about hybrid and electric vehicles while getting my new car a smog check. Great prices and have you in and out in no time at all.

For years we have trusted Toshi to do diagnostics, repairs, and smog checks on all our family's cars. We have recommended him to our friends. He is skilled, efficient, good-humored, kind, and friendly. His shop is a mainstay in the community. He's got all the right equipment to analyze all sorts of problems and fix them. He answers all questions and explains patiently. If you want quality work at a reasonable price, see Toshi. I just got my car smog checked today for $50. The whole process took just twenty minutes. Toshi filed all the paperwork and gave me the certificate to send to the DMV. Note that Toshi is normally very busy but he will usually take walk-ins. He doesn't take coupons.

I've gone here the past 2 times I've needed a smog check and will be coming back next time I need one. Each time I was in and out quickly with no problems whatsoever. Highly recommended!
