Midnight Smog

Most excellent experience at Midnight Smog today! Professional, friendly, fast and efficient. The location is spotlessly clean, airy and bright. Coffee and water for while you wait. You can look over the small counter and watch your vehicle the entire time if desired. We drove right up and were helped immediately. No waiting, no appointment. They are new to San Marcos, so once discovered I’m positive they will be busy. Great prices -and a coupon special right now too! Bonus - two cool cars to see in the bay (BMW and Porsche). Go see Nic, you’ll be happy you did. Your car smogging experience will actually be interesting and fun! Side note, Midnight Smog does not register your vehicle like some shops — Just smog. We are good with that.

Coolest smog shop in so Cal. The place is clean and modern, there was a beautiful seventies Porsche on display, we got free coffee and water, and the owner offered us a coupon without us asking. It was a fast and affordable experience. Wish I had more cars to smog…

Fantastic service! I was able to schedule and complete a smog test for my RV/Motorhome on the same day. Nic was knowledgeable and informative, and friendly. The late hours were convenient— I was to come after work when I was free. It got done quick and easy. The shop was clean and professional. He was responsive. I recommend this shop. I will comeback for my other cars in the future.

This is a fantastic father-and-son–owned shop with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Nick brings a wealth of experience in the smog industry, which really shows in the quality of service. The process is quick and efficient, and the clean, well-lit shop makes the experience even better. While you wait, they offer complimentary coffee and cold water, plus a comfortable waiting area with a TV to help pass the time. Overall, it’s a great place with excellent service and attention to customer comfort.

We went in to get a smog check at 5pm, something we had wanted to put off given how unfriendly most other shops tend to be. It's a small family-owned business, so they're really nice and had us in and out crazy fast (maybe 7 minutes total). i can't recommend them enough. It's a beautiful establishment with soft lighting and a big television that provides free refreshments, like water bottles and coffee. they gave us a massive discount for a smog check ($30) which is unbelievable. they seem to do checks for unconventional vehicles like RVs and trucks as well, and they're open until 8am - 8pm (12am on wednesdays) which is convenient if you get off of work late. We unfortunately didn't catch the name of the employee who helped us, but he was super chill and a pleasant guy
