Arrived an hour before closing and they told me they had to close early because of an emergency, to come back the next day and I would get a discount. Came back and didn’t even bother looking at my car because I had aftermarket intake and headers. Both of which are carb legal. Stickers, documents, didn’t even bother checking the system just turned me away. Don’t waste your time. Rude and unprofessional.

Recently had my car inspected for a smog check, and I was thoroughly impressed. Amir was knowledgeable and courteous, and the inspection was completed efficiently. The report provided was detailed and easy to understand, giving me great peace of mind about the condition of my vehicle. I highly recommend this place for anyone in need of a thorough and professional car inspection.

I’ve been going here for over 10 years now. I bring all my vehicles here to get smogged. The service has always been reliable and fast. Conveniently located across from the Inglewood DMV

I've going here for the last 12 years. Always fast, affordable and excellent service. He is an old-school business person like the kind that shows they appreciate your business. Something that is non existent in dealing with businesses these days.

Amir, the owner, is so very kind and helpful! I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to cars, so I really appreciated his observations and suggestions for other things he noticed with my car (he just does smog, so it was nice to have a second neutral opinion since I don't trust my mechanic 100%). The smog check was quick and affordable. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of a smog check! I will definitely be back next time I need another test and I will be recommending the shop to friends and coworkers in this area. It is one of two smog shops in that area. I'm glad I chose Lion Smog! Thank you again, Amir!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! It's run by an unscrupulous guy that will offer side deals and take your money!! I believe his name is Amir, very shady guy. I took my car for a smog and it passed, but he denied giving me the certificate because he said I had an aftermarket hose, a "visual issue." I explained that the hose was perfectly legal and could show him, he refused to listen and refused to research the hose. He then pulled me outside his shop away from the cameras and said that if I brought him the original part and paid him a side fee he would give me the certificate. I couldn't take my car to another shop and I needed to get my car smogged before the deadline so I had to accept his deal, as shady as it sounded. I returned to his shop a few weeks later with the OEM hose (it was on back order and cost $400 from the dealer) and presented it to him. He started to act like he didn't remember anything initially, then again he pulls me outside away from the cameras and starts asking me a bunch of other questions. I explain to him that I did exactly as he asked in order for my car to pass, except now he's demanding further payment and not keeping his word. I finally agree to give him more money just to get it over with and he glances around, sees other people looking at us, then throws his hands up and says he refuses to do anything further! He refused to keep his end of the deal after being paid. I left peacefully without causing a scene because I could see this was a very emotional guy prone to outbursts and not a very pleasant man to deal with. I've never had a shop do something like this and I learned my lesson on ever trying to save time by going to a place I'm unfamiliar with. STAY AWAY FROM LION SMOG AND CROOKED AMIR!

3rd time taking my car to Amir and I made sure to leave a review this time. Amir is professional and efficient but most of all a super duper human being. He is also very knowledgeable about cars.
