CA Express Smog in
Long Beach (CA)

I brought my 1995 F150 truck here for its smog inspection. They were professional, courteous, friendly, and quick. Many places are apprehensive when conducting a smog inspection of old vehicles, but this place was not. My truck passed. I do take very good care of my truck, so I was not surprised. Cost out the door was $108. If you have an old vehicle, bring it here. Funny thing, the customer before me had a 1999 well used camper van. He literally whooped loudly for joy and relief as he received the good news of his vehicle passing its smog check. Give this place your business. They are friendly and fair. November 2025 Update, two years later, brought my truck back to be tested; it passed again with flying colors.

Really happy I found this place! They were fast and straight to the point! They made the process so easy and they were so polite! I'll be sure to refer people here!

They’re always so nice and quick!

Very fast service. He asks questions to make sure you’re not setup to fail.

Open Saturday! Smog was done fast. So glad to find a location that isn’t busy.

Excellent service. Jay was very very helpful and knowledgable. He let me know what issues my decade + old car was having and how to fix it.

Great service, it was very fast and reasonable priced. Staff was very friendly.

I recently visited this location for a smog check and was thoroughly impressed with the level of service I received. Jay provided exceptional customer care from start to finish. His honesty and integrity were immediately evident—he took the time to explain the process clearly, without any pressure or upselling. The service was incredibly fast and efficient, yet thorough. I was in and out in no time, which is something I really appreciate with a busy schedule. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable—definitely one of the most affordable options in the area without compromising on quality. It’s rare to find a place that balances professionalism, speed, and value this well. I highly recommend this location for anyone in need of a smog check. Ask for Jay—he’ll take great care of you.

Been coming here for years, always a great service & the owner is so friendly!! 5 stars ⭐️

Great place. Fast service and the owner is very friendly and helpful. Totally recommended for smog check.

Great experience at CA Express Smog! I was in and out quickly with no hassle. The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. Highly recommend if you’re looking for fast and reliable service!

Fast and friendly service! There was no line when I went. The test was performed, paid and I was back in my car within 15 minutes!

Great service. Was in and out in about 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

Terrible service the guy was slow and quality wasn’t there he kept asking for my ethnicity and giving me dirty looks with almost disgust asking if I was filipino and I got irritated with him when I came for a simple smog he was reving the truck so many times I’ve seen and done multiple smog checks before but he revved it more than 6 times and just kept stomping on the gas all that to tell me I failed and was still charging me a high amount. Not very good quality he only cared about his 5 star rating prolly good for small cars but for truck don’t come to him or if you different I suggest approaching with caution he wasn’t friendly towards me at all good way to start a morning and waste of money.

i was in and out of here in half an hour with 2 people ahead of me in line and no appointment. staff is super friendly.

Second visit here in the past 3 years. Friendly and fast service, I was in and out in 30 minutes with no appointment. Would highly recommend if you are in Long Beach.

This was such an easy, positive experience! The owners are incredibly friendly and efficient. I will absolutely come back here!

The service here is absolutely amazing!!! They are fast and know what they are doing. In my opinion, it’s the best spot in the Long Beach area hands down. I would highly recommend this place to anyone needing vehicle services.

Quick, easy and reasonably priced. Very nice folks too. I will be back in 2 years. Don't forget to take a coupon.

Always quick, always a pleasant experience so far. 15 minute turnaround my times there. Of course I've only been the only customer there at the times I randomly show up.

Very nice guy and the test was super quick. Will use again.

This small two bay smog shop is quick yet very thorough and extremely professional I highly recommend going there if you ever find yourself seeking a reputable place for a smog test in fact I plan to refer as many people as I know to go to him I even asked for multiple business cards to pass out for him he is very professional and efficient

Jay is a good dude! Fast and friendly service.

Loved this place. I had a great experience... staff was really friendly and it literally took 5 mins! Price was $49.99 total. I’m not sure what the usual is but I am definitely a satisfied customer!

Open on Sundays, and very quick! I went on a Sunday morning and I don’t think I waited more than 10 minutes for the whole thing. The price was fair, plus he gave a discount.

It was my first time doing smog check. It was fast and easy. People here are very nice and helpful. I definitely will come back again in the future. Highly recommend!!!:)

The owner is the sole operator of this shop. He is honest, fast, and friendly. His prices out the door was almost $25 off some of the competition. I had no appointment and even with a customer ahead of me I was out in about 45 minutes. Be sure to get the internet price off his website. I will definitely go back for more vehicle inspections or refer friends here. ***** from me! - Derek
