Simply Smog

Totally amazing! Great customer service! They apologized that I had to wait 20 mins — it was New Years Eve and only one technician was on duty and he was in the middle of a test. Really great experience.

This is the only place I would ever go back to for a smog check. The gentleman that helped me was Dave. Very friendly, energetic, welcoming individual. Service was fast and allowed me to get in and get out so i could get on with the rest of my day. The lounge area /​man cave is also stocked with soda, coffee, water and juices which is also a nice added bonus for a quick 10 minutes stop over while waiting for my vehicle.

First review ever, but felt compelled as I appreciate well run customer focused businesses. If you care about price, this isn’t the cheapest. If you appreciate a good old fashioned business that prides itself on the best possible customer experience, then this is the place for you. Sure, this is a commoditized service, but where else can you play air hockey, piano, or sing karaōke while you wait? Who else cares? I also appreciate how they partner with local businesses (I got a coupon for a free lunch, as well). Exceeded my expectations (rare these days).

I sucked better dick for a cheaper price than this place charges for a smog if they have «REFRESHMENTS» they better have bottles of cum so I can swallow it all down. I would rather fuck a aids dick than pay $ 80 to smog my Honda Civic at this over priced place go suck a big fat cock simply smog over priced bitches.

I’ve taken my cars here for smog test the last several years now and experience has been fantastic, including today.
They’re located on corner of Reseda/​Parthenia, next door to Autozone and across from Thai BBQ. Pricing is a bit on high end ($ 79), but service is excellent, quick and staff friendly. All the paperwork is taken care of for you and electronically sent to DMV. Takes about a week for tags to arrive. In addition, the following free amenities are provided while you wait.
Seating area — sofas, recliner
Flat screen TV
Air hockey table
Small electronic organ
Free sodas, water, cookies and coffee
Exercise bike
Massage chair
Got my cup of coffee while I waited for my car and 10 minutes in, they were done. Dam! That was too quick. I didn’t even get a chance to use the massage chair or play air hockey.

The person who helped me out today was very helpful in answering questions about renewing registration. The process was super fast and yes it is more expensive than other places but the service was on point and it was done in 10 minutes. Thanks for the ice cream!

This place rocks!!! Free snacks and drinks and music. The owner is so friendly… Brought my RV the bay stations are big. I’ll be bringing my van for a smog next year !

I came here 2yrs ago with my Daughters and came back again with my Daughters and niece, nephew They Love it they have all the snacks and drinks they love. Good and Fast service and also Very Clean for a shop. I recommend this place

Best smog place ever! Honest, great prices, cool owner and awesome atmosphere! I’ve been coming here for years! Have always had great service and the wait time goes by so quickly since they’ve got an air hockey table, snacks, TV and a massage chair! Hello, a massage chair!

Was a tad pricier than what I’ve paid at the other places but the customer service is fantastic! The guy running the place was very nice. In addition, he offers free ice cream, snacks, drinks, fresh fruit for his waiting customers. Has a television with the news on and comfortable chairs to relax in. The customers wait no longer than 15 min for their smog but still considerate to go the extra mile to keep his customers happy, healthy and relaxed.

The Best Shop in the Valley!!!
We were driving from Palm Springs to Santa Barbara and stopped at Simply Smoke.
Were greeted and welcomed with a friendly owner and the stuff. The waiting place is AWESOME. After a long drive, it was so nice to sit and have back massage, drink hot chocolate and watch TV. In 20 mins we were ready to go.
Thank you guys! God Bless you!

way overpriced…$ 80 for a smog test… no thanks! I went a block up the street and paid $ 40.
On a positive note… the place was clean, easy access, had good music playing and was open on a Sunday at 4:30pm.

Most friendliest smog station I’ve ever been to. Pretty quick turnaround and the prices are very reasonable. Free snacks, drinks, exercise equipment, massage chair, air hockey table, and more while you wait. If you ever need a smog test, this is the place to go.

Went here with my dad to get his smog checked! Wonderful service owner was amazing and friendly. Offered us free drinks and snacks. $ 79 for the smog check. Has comfortable couches and chairs. Good tv shows on with updated magazines, air hockey table. Air conditioned room if needed.
Talked about traveling and camping with my dad.
Over all great place I will definetly be coming back for my smog check here.

I’ll admit that I was really procrastinating about getting my smog check done this year. Thank you, fellow Unilocalers, for pointing this place out.
My general experience with OTHER smog places has been that you take your car in, and they find all sorts of imaginary things wrong with your engine (that will cost $ 200 — or more — to repair) and then, after you spend all that money, they just turn down your car’s idle speed enough so you pass the test, and send you on your way, $ 200 (or more) lighter in your wallet and with a car that wants to stall out because the idle is turned down so low. Literally, the last time I had my smog check done, I did it ONE DAY after I had my (newer model) car tuned up at my dealership, just to see if they would come up with b.s. reasons why I needed to replace «x», «y» and «z». .. and I was not disappointed. Such crooks!
Simply Smog, however, is not like those OTHER smog ripoff joints. I was in and out in probably less than 10 minutes, polite and friendly service, no additional things «wrong» with my car, my idle speed not tampered with, a kind offer of some pizza while I was there, and nothing but courteous service. To anyway who balks at paying the $ 79, I ask you: Isn’t it better to pay a little more HERE and not have to deal with shenanigans?

Okay so for a smog check, it can be around 70 – 75 bucks, but it is such a great experience. They are so nice. I, personally, will pay the money just to go and sit on their couches for 20 min and drink the coffee, water, juice that they have for all their customers for free. I even took a few cookies for the road. The customer service was great and I got my smog check. Win-​Win.

Best smog check ever! Lots to do while you wait, free snacks and drinks. This is by far my favorite place to get a smog check. Who knew you could even have a favorite place to get a smog check?

After reading so many good review about this place, I just got to try. It is $ 79 as I expected from other review. They were very nice. Got to play the air hockey, sat on the massage chair. They have the fridge fully stock with water, juice, v8, ice cream, and some other goodies. They have coffee and tea. They also have light and seat warmer on the toilet. So cool! They finish the job in about 15 minutes.

I just got my car smogged this afternoon. $ 79 smog isn’t considered a bargain, however, it’s worth the peace of mind to know the test will be done quickly and efficiently. Not to mention this location has a very relaxing waiting area, and in the over 100 degree heat, an air conditioned waiting room is awesome.
I really appreciate the customer care. It means a lot. Not to mention the readily stocked cache of drinks and snacks is a huge plus!
Overall, I had a totally satisfied experience while they took care of my car.

Hate the smog issue, and cost and drill of it all, but these guys make it bearable. Massage chair, air hockey, refer full of drinks and ice cream, and an owner who gets you in and out in a jiffy! Plus, these guys don’t do any repair, so you don’t get worked with needless repairs and sketchy billing.
You cannot go wrong here and you’re dead from the neck up if you go anywhere else!
