Used to go here for quick smog test, but I can’t deal with the rudeness of one of the guys that works there. Would rather drive an extra 10 mins to not have the smog guy ruin my day.

Super nice and best place to go for a smog test!

Great place, fast and friendly service. Was in and out in 10 min. Would highly recommend

Fast, reasonable price and friendly. Been taking my car here for smog check for years.

Went at lunch on a Wed. In and out in 15 minutes. Really friendly staff and will definitely go here again.

I was disappointed that the owner is not wearing a mask and is not enforcing masking or distancing for customers. I felt so uncomfortable that I didnt even go inside and ended up going elsewhere for my smog check.

It only took 10 mins for a smog check and I was able to pay the registration fee and get the sticker all at the same time! Worth the extra buck.

Great service, great price!

Super fast, super easy. No issues whatsoever, and beats dealing with the dmv

Efficient and friendly service. Also recommended by my mechanic.

Super fast and friendly. Best smog check location I’ve been to. Definitely recommend.

Great service, good prices and friendly staff. Been going there for over 10 years. Fast too!

I dropped the car off, walked next door for sushi, came back, paid and drove home. It was the most effortless experience- once again.These guys never fail to deliver with their friendly service and helpful work to get you tested, re-registered, and on your way.Worth the trip!

This place is the best shop in OC. Adam is extremely honest and very helpful. The mechanics are great and they really look out for you. Most places will try to increase the prices or work to be done just to make more money. Not here, they will give you honest feedback and let you know how your car is doing. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Been going to Newport Smog for several years now. They are fast, friendly, and advise you on a failed test on what can be done to pass the next time.Was greeted when a smile, as always, and service was done in no time at all.

I found Newport Smog on the internet and went to their location on Randolph Street in Costa Mesa. Two thumbs up for this place! First impression on the phone was they were super friendly and welcoming and offered the best pricing. I called many smog places shopping for price and how interested they sounded to have my business. Newport Smog by far was the best one out of the bunch. I cant speak for their Bristol location, but Randolph Street was a pleasant experience. In, out, no waiting, super honest people, and very friendly and nice. Young was the technician who did the test. Great guy, and 5 stars for his integrity.

Recently I went back to Saddleback Smog & Repair for a quick oil change. I had been here before so I knew the service was excellent but recently I purchased a new car from the dealer and decided to use the dealer for awhile. That ended when the dealers service shop was unprofessional and took forever to complete basic maintenance. I must leave my car for 3 hours to get an oil change no way. So I called up Saddleback on a Friday afternoon and was able to bring it in Saturday at 8AM and had my keys in my hand before 9AM. That is truly remarkable service and is why I will be using Saddleback from now on.

Sincerely, the most important is that these guys are honest and will not rip you off!! They work with you and dont charge you for small items. Everyone was very nice and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend these guys. Ask for Adam

Went here to get my title transfer for my car purchase. Called ahead to confirm they did that and that I had all the necessary paperwork. Ask how much they charge - $49, reasonable. Get there, the guy asks You got cash? no i dont have $1500 in cash. You take credit and debit. Oh but I wont make any money on this its too much. Business lost, dont go here.

Never though I would feel great leaving a smog check station but the owner was such nice guy it would be hard not to be. Excellent Service, Price, and Staff! Would recommend to anyone!

The owner Ray was super nice, friendly and helpful. Service was quick and professional (only took 20 min start to finish) and cheap too! I will never smog my car anywhere else again.... Thanks guys!

They having amazing customer service and the owner John is really friendly!!! This place is very efficient. And after only about 15 minutes, they were done. They also do DMV services here, stickers and registration issue right at their office.

Quick, efficient, friendly service. I called in the early afternoon and got their last smog appointment - really nice and friendly people and they made the whole process extremely easy and fast.

Newport Smog Check was great! Their service was exceptional and are super friendly. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Thank you Newport Smog Check

Don’t go there, poor customer service and they will scam you and try to get your money on any way.

Amazing service!!!!! The gentleman was very helpful and polite when we got VIN number inspected. We found out that we could have gotten smog inspection cheaper here rather than another place. I would definitely recommend this business!!!!!!

Went in for a smog check based on other reviews. Very satisfied! Fair and fast! They were very helpful and friendly.

So quick, efficient and super sweet! Price is so compatible too ❤️

Best smog place ever. Super friendly guys, super fast service. The best smog experience I have ever had

Great shop. Goes above and beyond to complete the repair in the time and dollar amount quoted. Consistently cheaper then any other shops quoted price.

Total scammers here guys. I would give NO stars if i could. Used to bring all of my cars here for smog but my last experience opened my eyes to these guys. My car has an aftermarket intake system which is 50 state legal. It apparently has the wrong smog tag on it from the manufacturer or their records are wrong. Either way it has passed twice in the last two years. I go in to have it smog checked again because Im selling the vehicle and now John wants me to pay cash and up charges me $100 more dollars. I was shocked as Ive done business here before without issue. I reluctantly gave him the money because I was selling the car the next day and had to have it smog checked. Needless to say I will not be taking my car back to this facility as they clearly are scammers out to take advantage of people.

Awesome place. Helped me get my vehicle registered in California without going to the dmv. The owner is a super honest and chill guy.

John is awesome. In and out within 15 minutes with the appointment. I am going to have my second car checked with him this Friday. Highly recommended.

Great service went in and the test was done in 15 min .. unfortunately it didnt pass because my battery had died a week or so ago .. John told me it should be an easy fix gave me some driving instructions and off i went .. drove around newport for about 15 min and all the indicators that were missing were now showing .. back to the shop and another 10 min later i was done .. not only that i was able to get my new registration and sticker on the spot! id highly recommend this shop!! great customer service and super fast

This place is the best ever. Fast and reliable. Dont go to any other shop. I bring all my 3 cars here.

Call for an appointment and get in right away. Supper nice and fast. Five stars is fair for this place. If you are looking for a place to smog, you found it.

Great service from John in their newish location just a few doors down in the same strip mall they have been for years. Park in front of the shop and they come out w a sensor to check things.

I went to Saddleback Smog & Repair, they took a look at my car, I thought there was no hope! But, Mac and Manny hooked me up and I was back on the road again. i recommend anyone with car problems to go see these guys!

Customer service is also very good, the people are very nice and respectful. They know what they are doing and they put your satisfaction first.

Super helpful. My car was too low to get over some of the speed bumps and they had the patience to take care of me, even answered all my question and teach me what they were doing. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fast, fair, and reliable! Super nice staff! We always take our vehicles here, even though we moved out of the city.

Called got prompt answer, no bs price incress, like some other places,the worker was polite and honest liked his job and got me in and out very happy to know that they have customer service like that still it seems to be hard to find it with some types of businesses

Awesome people quick smog

Very good and fast service! I called the day before to make an appointment and I was in and out in 15 minutes!

Very courteous and helpful owner. Good price and reservations are always a plus. Definitely recommend.

We went there to get our smog check and registration done with out of state plates. John was really really helpful in doing all the paper work, he was able to get us CA plates by next day. I worked around our schedule I will highly recommend working with him

Amazing! Most honest and hardworking mechanics Ive ever seen. Totally recommend them!

These guys are the BEST. In an ELITE class of automotive repair. I have taken my 12 year old car to them on a few occassions and each time they have nailed the issue and diagnosis. Mac is great guy. Very trustworthy. High integrity. Prices are very fair. I had what appeared to be a dropped transmission when I pulled my car into reverse before coming to a complete stop. I had to get it towed and was convinced it was going to cost me several $1000s. Mac and Rick (one of his mechanics) agreed at first glance. To my complete surprise Mac called me the next AM and said, Im very confident its not as bad as 1st suspected. We need to get a new Torque Converter and Input Shaft. If Im wrong, I wont charge you......... Seriously, who says that???? Literally, by the end of that 2nd day (30 hours later) I was returning my rental car and driving my 12 year old car home..... Out the door I paid less than $575 (tax included). With that said, Im not kidding when I say it is running better than it has in a couple of years..... Special thanks to Sal as well who did a lot of the actual work......These guys are BEST IN CLASS.

This place is quick and easy with no nonsense. I didnt feel pressured into anything other than what I came for. Check this place out

Quick and friendly! Gave me a discount and took 15 minutes for whole process! Highly recommend

In and out in 20 minutes with my smog check done and new registration including tags in my hand! Service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Best smog shop in the OC

Second time getting my smog check here, and the service was quick and friendly again! Would definitely recommend

My battery died right before registration was due. Id heard that a new batter could mess up a smog test and since I only had a limited time, I was worried about not passing and having to drive around more and go back, etc.I called up Newport Smog Test because the service person that helped me with the battery change recommended them. I asked about the new battery problem. I got John on the phone immediately and he said to bring the car in right then and he could do a check for that.I printed out the $10 coupon from their website and ran down. John came out as I pulled up and instantly had a meter hooked up under my dash and read it and said, its OK, we can test it.I filled out a form, sat down. Asked John about the battery thing, saying Id checked on the internet and people were saying I needed to drive 30 to 150 miles, on the freeway or starting and stopping in particular combinations. Id tried to do that over the previous days, but I was still unsure. John said that battery changes did reset the information needed for smog checks, but not all cars were the same. He ran out to check another car and came back saying that THAT car had been driving around and checked twice before and still needed a bit more driving time, but my car was different.I was so happy to find a friendly, helpful guy. I was out of there in maybe 15 minutes! Paid $51 with the coupon. I am definitely going to them if I need any smogs! And they do a service where they can instantly register the car and give out the stickers, but all I needed to do was go back home and pay on the internet and I was done! So glad to get that over with!!!

Quick and easy. The guy working here is super friendly.

Very quick, smog check & registration was done in less than 15 mins.

Great service, T was real nice and the entire smog test less than 20 minutes and you get a 20 dollar google coupon

Came in with no appointment, got out in 15 minutes. Technician was courteous and skilled. Price was good.

Quick and helpful, got $20 off for free. Thanks guys.

Great place for smog check, really quick and friendly, in and out, one stop shopping, plus you can pay your DMV registration there and get your tag right a way.

Awesome fast, friendly and great service. I even registered my car while I was there. I highly recommend Newport Smog Test Only Center.

A little pricey, but for the price paid you dont have to stand in DMV line for hours. So good service!

This place is great for Smogging, they are a STAR location so they can get you right with the DMV when the time comes. Great place.

Great services, they are professional, honest and fast, if you need smog test look no further you have the the best place!

These guys are so amazingly efficient, friendly and on top of things that you wonder why anyone local bothers going anywhere else. Definitely a must place to take your car!

Dont look anywhere else. You have found your SoCal Mechanic. Mac and his crew are the BEST. Hands down. So many experiences with lackluster mechanics throughout the SoCal area and they have surpassed in every way. I have a 2006 Range Rover with as many issues as anyone could EVER want. Due to the nature of the repairs, they have been weighing on my wallet... but when I went to Mac he walked me through the process (airbags, fuel pump, O2 sensors, valve and timing issues, MULTIPLE transmission issues, etc). I was uncertain at first at the costs so I shopped pricing. Mac always came in on par with what it SHOULD cost not what other shops WANT it to cost. Recently I rebuilt my transmission and shopped for a better price than in OC. I took it to Glendale immediately regretted not sticking with Saddleback. Mac and his team never gouge and never do only half-ass work. I saved a fraction of the cost of going with Mac and wish I had not. I wish I paid a little more to have the service and support they provide.Macs customer service is bar none and ALWAYS honest. Hes an amazing guy and his team follows suit. I would recommend everyone to Mac, and I currently have my mother and wife going to him. Mac specializes in the beautiful, the lightly used, the tough and the rough. This establishment is a gem.

Very nice people, way better than standing in a huge line at the DMV

Bait and Switch at its best... The coupon and advertisement is very cleat 29.75. Well I just took my GMC SUV (like the one in the picture on their ad) and the FIRST thing out of the managers mouth after where did you find us was.... We charge $59.95 for the SUVs plus certificate. What a crock There is absolutely no difference between an SUV vs a car on the smog check! Needless to say I walked out as he was graciously going to give me a $10 discount. I went down the street $45 out the door including DMV fees at Livingston on Bristol.

Very friendly staff, awesome service.

This place has the best service in Orange County. Its always a friendly environment and its a local place you can trust.

Quick service. Nice waiting room chairs.

Honest! Farnoush is a great guy and fast service. I will take all my vehicles here and tell my friends and family.

Very friendly great customer service,will recommend to friends

Was not open on Sunday looked to be under construction but still open rest of the week. Google had incorrect operating times.

Quick and painless. I always go here.
