Smog Busters

They get 4 stars because it was convenient, and quick… for my review criteria, they aren’t eligible for 5 stars (the experience has to make me really look forward to planning another trip), but it was a very good experience. I’ll return the next time I have to register a car

«Pass or Fail»
I come here twice a year on Saturday mornings. I never have to wait and the lady here loves my car. She gets irritated because I only put 1500 miles a year on the Cobra but I just laugh it off. Women are so funny. ;)
But last month when I Fast and Furioused my way into the lot I was a tad worried because I didn’t know if the car was going to pass. I had done some modifications that although CARB certified, with catalytic converters intact, still left me unsure of the outcome. Anyway, I Dom Torettoed from the car and she hooked it up before disappearing into the shack. Seconds later she emerged with a Mother Hen look. «You’ve been messing with the car’s computer since last time.»
Me: total silence, with sly smile. Then, with practiced boyish charm I said: «Are we going to be all right?»
Her: «Yes. A few parameters are not reading but the ones I need to see are. Everything’s okay.»
Phew.
I paid the 20 bucks, like I always do, and chatted with Mom a bit, most of which consisted of me listening to her about how I needed to drive the car more. I smiled and nodded, hesitant to tell her I was thinking of adding another car to my garage.
Eventually it was time to go and I bade her farewell, promising to see her soon, promising to drive the car more. I exited the lot with little fanfare, stuck a hand out the window, and drove off onto an empty quiet road.

Great price, fast and friendly service! Was done in about 10 mins. Can’t ask for more than that!

This was an excellent smog check experience, all seven minutes of it ! Seriously, it couldn’t have taken much longer than that, from the time I pulled up until I drove away.
Printed out the $ 17.99 coupon from the website and drove to this Smogbusters location on a Saturday afternoon. This location on Rainbow just south of Flamingo is one of the few locations that stays open until 6pm on Saturdays instead of closing at 2pm.
There was no wait, the tech was friendly and worked quickly — he printed out the certification and said the information would be transmitted to the DMV in about fifteen minutes, to be sure to wait that long for it to go through if I was going to one of the kiosks to renew the registration right away (I wasn’t). Gave him $ 20 in cash and didn’t ask for change — it was great to be able to get this done so fast on a weekend and be treated so nicely.
The smog check is good for 90 days and there are signs posted to remind customers to present the coupon BEFORE the check is started (otherwise it’s $ 19.99 + tax).

Great place to get your smog check done. I was there during lunch time. From start to finish it took 10 min. There is a coupon online from their website. Make sure you present the coupon before the smog or they may not honor it. Professional staff as well. I will go back there from now on.

The Unilocal listing here says this place is closed, but it isn’t.
I needed a smog check for my car and stopped by this place. It’s a tiny shack in the strip mall on the southeast corner of Rainbow and Flamingo. Before stopping by I printed out a coupon from their web site (
) for a $ 17.99 smog check. Normally it’s about $ 20. I got there, waited for the car in front of me to finish, then the guy did my smog check. I was done within 10 minutes (and passed). Simple, quick and easy. They do charge an additional $ 1 if you use your credit card.
