In Culver City (Mar Vista) between Centinela and Inglewood Ave. This is absolutely the best place on the West Side for Smog Checks, including ""Test Only"". Great service -- they pay attention to you and get you through as fast as possible. There's no ""drop off"" service and very little parking but the shop is designed as a drive-thru so there's never any backing up to worry about. You just line up and they get you through ASAP. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful -- they truly WANT you to pass. They would rather help you get your car passable than to have to do the FREE RETEST IF YOU FAIL. For a reasonable additional fee, they will submit your Renewal directly to DMV and save you a trip there. I called half a dozen places on the West side of L.A. and, even though those places will bait you with an online coupon that sounds like big savings, you will still pay less at Uni-Smog. Instead of ripping you with a typical West Los Angeles price, they charge about what you'd normally pay in East L.A. or the Valley. Very easy to find, on the Southern side of Washington Blvd, corner of Grandview.
