About The Grove Smog Center.
A STAR-certified, test-only smog station serving Lemon Grove and San Diego’s East County — honest, fast, and the lowest smog price in town, open seven days a week.
Why drivers choose us
Honest testing, no upsell, no hidden fees.
The Grove Smog Center is a test-only STAR station (BAR #300462). Because we’re licensed to inspect but not repair, we have nothing to sell you but an honest, accurate smog check — the way it should be.
We keep our price the lowest in Lemon Grove at $39.75 with the coupon, with no hidden fees. We test all vehicles — cars, trucks, hybrids, diesels, RVs and motor homes — and we handle mobile CARB Clean Truck Check for heavy-duty vehicles too.
Most inspections are done in about 15 minutes while you wait, and we’re open seven days a week. Walk in any day; if time is short, call ahead and we’ll get you in fast.
