Lathrop Smog

We had car trouble on a road trip from San Diego to Oregon, and had to make an unfamiliar stop in Lathrop, CA. On a recommendation from O’Reilly’s Auto Parts, we ended up at Lathrop Smog for a “diagnostics check.” The man who helped us came out right away and explained what he thought was wrong and how to fix it. He explained that they could fix it, but wouldn’t be able to get to it until late in the day. He then showed us what to do if we decided to do it ourselves (my husband worked on cars in his “younger days”). We thanked him, and before we left, offered him a tip$ for his time. He refused to take any money from us because he “didn’t do anything!” We ended up going to a local car dealership, but we wanted to give a shoutout to Lathrop Smog for their friendly and efficient assi

If the place say it opens up at 9 AM, they’re not even open the gate still locked bad service. Don’t come here. Don’t waste your time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Service! I cannot recommend Lathrop Smog enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine friendliness and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to explain everything clearly and make me feel confident about the repair process. Not only was their customer service excellent, but the pricing was also affordable and fair—no surprises or upselling, just honest work from people who truly care. They repaired my car quickly and efficiently, and I left feeling relieved, taken care of, and genuinely appreciated as a customer. If you're looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and reasonably priced shop, Lathrop Smog is the place to go. I'll definitely be back and will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thank you everyone at Lathrop Smog!!

Great place and reasonable prices nice having this lil car shop in our home town. Owner Nick is an awesome guy he gets pretty busy but job is always well done. 👍

I arrived at the shop at 10. I had two cars ahead of me, yet I got everything done by 11. The man was professional and quick. Definitely recommend this place for smog check! 60-ish$ for my Toyota! Worth every penny!
