Bully’s Smog is a smog check and inspection station in Santa Monica, California. It is listed at 2700 Lincoln Blvd Ste 7, Santa Monica, CA 90405, which places it among the local businesses of Santa Monica that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as auto repair shop, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In Santa Monica, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across California vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 9 am–5 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (323) 984-2138. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.

On Google it holds a rating of 5.0 out of 5 from 12 reviews, which is a strong result for a smog check and inspection station in Santa Monica and suggests consistent service.
