John has moved now to Lake view terrace, Sylmar. Foothill blvd and Van Nuys blvd corner. Amazing person and honest mechanic. He is very knowledgeable and never rushes his jobs. He takes one customer at a time. Never disappoints me and my family for 25+ years. God bless him and his family read more

John is a great guy. He is always friendly and helpful. He gives you a great price upfront.

Place was dirty, full of junk and while there where people waiting I couldn't find anyone in this place. Can't believe this is a STAR certified location. read more

First time stopping by this place , & John the man; he was one of the best person with positive energy towards his customer. I'm thrilled with his service. To anyone; if you need to get your car fix with whatever, please go by him. Thank you John, for taking care of my car. I'll be coming back soon with other services that needs to be done. read more

Had to get a smog check and the owner was super nice and cool and made things very easy and fast. This was the cheapest I found in this area plus the conveniency, I'll be coming back next time. read more

Great fast and friendly service. Needed a smog and stopped by without an appointment and was helped right away. The whole process took about 15 minutes I was able to get my tags the next day. Cost was average you would pay anywhere. It was a convenient location from where I live. Make sure you bring cash. When I came it was cash only. read more

Got recommended here from AAA after I paid my registration and found out my smog was due. Very friendly, fast, and informative. I had a good time while getting my car smogged, paid and left. In today's world this man offers you convinence, great value and you can't ask for anything else! Definitely going to be coming back for everything here read more

Jon was very helpful with getting my smog completed for a very reasonable price. I was in and out in about 15 minutes with no appointment and passed with no issues. Another benefit was having the results electronically sent to the DMV. Would recommend if you need to get in and out quickly for a smog. read more

This address is actually outdated. The Chevron it was attached to is closed for construction. But luckily the phone # is still working and Jon answered right away. The new location is 8840 Mason (and Nordhoff)- about 5 min away. Arrived just before 11a on a Saturday. There was only 1 car ahead of me but after that 3-4 cars came. I got a smog check and process only took 11min. Jon, the owner, was very kind and the cost was fair, if not a lil lower than other places Definitely recommend and will return. read more

A & A Smog Test Only Star Station - A&A Auto Repair - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Winnetka, California

Took my vehicle here, instead of wasting my money and testing yet, he hooked up a diagnostic code they told him my vehicle wasn't ready. I had taken it two weeks prior to another smog place who charge me the 40 $50 and told me it wasn't ready. read more

Great service. Friendly staff. Will definitely going to again. They used to be on the corner but moved so what out for the right address!

I was in and out in 10 minutes or so for a smog. Answered all my questions and was super knowledgeable. Cost was cheaper than all places I called. Some places are shady and try to charge you based on the value of your car. You don't have to worry about this place. I will be going here from now on. read more

Got here at 9:05am to get smog check. But someone beat me to it so the owner said just wait 5 minutes. Then it was my turn and the owner is really nice. He explained to me how long it will take and the price.($48 ONLY!) Then it's my turn, he told me to just stay in my car coz it's cold outside. Very nice guy. Awesome Customer service. Highly recommended. Smog check only took 10 minutes tops. read more

I was in and out in no time! The owner was very pleasant and professional. I will be coming here from now on and will recommend to family and friends! read more

The only place I go to when I need a smog check and each time it's always been a easy process! The owner is great and makes the entire process very easy! read more

best smog check but one day it wasn't working, told come back next day, sitting here an hour and says open 9-5 but closed and no note on door as if lunch, one phone number isn't theirs and other mailbox is full and now I have a huge problem as car needs smog check now. read more

Every time I need a smog check I come here; that's about a few visits and it's always a great experience. The price is reasonable and the process is easy and fast. Getting a smog check can be a pain, this place makes it painless. read more

They make it so easy!!! Thank You!!! And it is reasonably priced. Show them you're AAA card and you're set.

So fast! The sweetest husband & wife. Never a wait, go check them out! My smog took only 10 minutes. It was so got outside they gave me water & a seat. Wonderful people read more

Came in for a last minute smog check without an appointment and Jon was super cool and took care of everything quickly. Great service, reasonable price and my car passed inspection. Will definitely be back again for the next test. Thanks again, Jon! read more

Fast Service! I am very pleased ! Will definitely recommend them to anyone I know. Very knowledgeable and even told me that I can go ahead and go to the nearest triple A office to get the sticker for my plate right away! So I didn't have to go to dmv anymore! yey! read more

I was getting ready to go out of town and waited until the last minute to renew my car registration, but didn't realize I needed a smog test. I found this place on Yelp and picked it because of all the 5 star reviews - I probably never would have otherwise. The reviews are right! I was in and out in less than 20 minutes, it was easy and painless. Also, realizing I was stressed because AAA was closing within half an hour they were more than willing to rush me through to help me. True customer service that you NEVER see any more. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and they have definitely earned a new customer. It's just a pity that I can only give them my business every couple of years. read more

Came here because it's close to work and there was tons of 5 star reviews. I can see why. The guy there, John, was one of the nicest and friendliest guys I've been helped by in as long as I can remember. He struck up a conversation with me and gave me some tips on taking care of my car. Just generally he was so nice he put me in a good mood. Recommended all the way. read more

I called Sunday morning and was scheduled smog check the same day. I have a $20 dollar coupon off :) which saved me a lot. The guy who helped me (forgot to ask the name) was very friendly, helpful and professional. I'm glad I found this place. I'm definitely coming back next time and will recommend this place. read more

Was in and out and still had plenty of time on my lunch break! Honest and friendly people. They are priced right and get your car done fast. I can tell you that this place will treat you right, they will not try to cheat you. Go with confidence. I will recommend this place to all my friends. read more

GO HERE for your smog checks! He was very friendly and gave me exceptional customer service! I love when I go somewhere and leave with a smile. It's unusual nowadays getting great service and I even went home and said, "he was so nice!". Anyways, great service, prices, and I just drove up and they were able to do my truck right away. Thanks smog check guy! :) read more

Very reasonably priced and very fast if no one is in front of you! Call ahead to see if they are busy. And my old car passed...YAY! Thanks for a pleasant experience (if there is such a thing when smogging) :-) read more

I will admit I have trust issues with my car. I remember taking my car to a Jiffy Lube many years ago and I left feeling like I got jipped. Ever since then, I have never gone back to one and have only gone to two places to get my car looked at, another place and here. Jonathan is seriously the man and is one of the hardest, honest working mechanics in the Valley. I trust this man with my car and I feel like I am really being taken care of whenever I come here. After coming here once for my smog checkup, I haven't been to any other place. If you are looking for a great honest mechanic in the valley, I would vouch for him and I do recommend him to all my friends. 5/5 the best. read more

I came out on a Friday thinking there was going to be a line of people... only one ahead. It was in & out with ease and very good customer service. The gentleman was curious and very professional. I'd recommend this place to anyone. read more

Really nice people. Great price and open Sunday. Also checked all tire pressures and was really fast. Nice small family business. Anyone who meets this guy will understand why his business is so popular. Good dude. Recommended local business. read more

Called ahead. No waiting. Competitively priced. Cash only. Like most people nowadays, I don't carry much cash; however, the guy was so mellow and told me to come back with cash later when I could (which I did). Small, but effective set-up for a person needing an oil change. Plus, super close to a AAA office to immediately get registration renewals. read more

I want to post an update to my previous review to share with you just how helpful they are at A & A. My car was not ready for testing yet, due to getting a new battery, and the employee (wish I asked his name) was thoroughly helpful in giving me tips to get my car ready, and exact routes he recommended to drive around town. He provides A + service, with a smile and a joke or two. He can smog 2 cars at a time, so you will be in an out as quickly as he can manage. My car smog for a Honda CR-V cost $48 all inclusive and it was worth every penny. This is a honest shop with good people - and they are 100% worth supporting in our community. read more

Came in because I needed a smog check and cause it a couple blocks from where I live. It's hidden tight in a little alley way with other mechanic shop. Saw the reviews on Yelp and arrived with no one waiting. 15 mins tops and I was out of there. There is a coupon on the website which was also a plus. Highly recommend. read more

Went in at 2 pm on a Wednesday I was in and out in 5 min for a "lyft driver" inspection. Cost me $25! Very friendly. If you're a lyft driver and need an inspection go here!!! Highly recommended!!! :) read more

Fast & easy honest service. Been taking all my cars there for years. He is busy but you can always call ahead if you are close by and see if there is a wait. read more

What a great business John runs. Super efficient, reasonably priced, and John is as friendly and honest a guy as you could hope to meet. Definitely recommend A & A. Thanks John. read more

I came to this place after being recommended by a friend of mine came at 830 am place was still closed when it says they open at 8 am , went back @1130 and John the owner checked my car he said he needs to call the dealer to check the part price and give me an estimate , took my phone number and he said he will call me in couple of hours he never called , so I called him he couldn't even remember that I visited him that same day in the morning and claimed that the part is not available at the dealership which was a lie he asked me to call again the next day which I did and again he never remembered me !!!!not a surprise !!!! He has very short memory , and again after reminding him he said to give him 10 min. And he will call me back which of course I didn't think it will happen and it never happened , Now if you can't do the job why do not you be straight forward and say that instead of being a coward and keep lying .? Not a good way to run a business, read more

Great service! Called made a quick app and the whole process took 15 min! Very nice guy, fun to talk to and knows what he's doing! Had a $48 special which is great! Highly recommend him. read more

This is the ultimate neighborhood smog shop. Friendly, professional and very courteous especially with your time. We've been coming to John for many years. And we have 8 cars. read more

Another timely smog done for an awesome price from an awesome guy! Cant get better service than this!
