Avoid this place. Felt like a scam--asked questions I never received during any smog check ("any work done lately? Check engine light on? Is this your original catalytic converter? Who did the work?"). I guess they didn't like my answers bc then they said "smog machine is broken, sorry" Prices were higher than normal places too but I was gonna do it bc I was pinched for time and it was really close. Even f it wasn't a scam, it felt like they had no interest in doing a smog check. read more

Fast service and it only cost me $30! Plus, the gentleman that runs the shop is super friendly. My car passed and everything was sent to DMV in just a few minutes. I was on Yelp looking for smog testing nearby that was open at 7am, this was the only one. Most of the other shops open at 8am or 9am. Just make sure to call before you go in, they may be calibrating the machine. Luckily I called. Bonus - he printed a document I needed for the DMV. Saved me a trip to the printing store! Highly recommended this place! read more

Eds Smog Test Only Center - Fast service! The guy that runs this place rocks! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I had been looking for a place to get a smog check and Ed's popped up on my search. They were great. It got me right in and I was finished in less than 10 minutes. Thank you! read more

I arrived to a barrage of question and judgement, "did I recently do work to the car, or roll back the odometer" (basically am I a scam artist) ... I replied no. The technician says hold on and continues to have a 5 min conversation with the person who pulled in after me. When he does wave me in I ask the price, "$68" ... I say woah my normal guy (who was closed) does it for $50. He hands me back the dmv notice like "go there". So I left. Also their yelp has a coupon that says 2022 only $50. Scam artists. Avoid this place. Rude from the start and couldn't be bothered with your little smog money. People don't want to be judged when they arrive. Rude. read more

I met Ed himself. Great guy. Approached me right when seeing me and also assisted with my cars smog check right away. Done in 10 minutes. Enjoyed some coffee they provided. It was as serene as it can get. I definitely will be back and recommend this place for whatever car issues. read more

Extremely rude and overpriced. I truly believe this is the worst test station I've ever been to.

Came here the first time I needed a smog check, about 3 yrs ago. Just went again today. As always, service is GREAT!!!! Edi is trustworthy and takes the time to answer any questions you may have. He makes you feel right at home, offering you cold drinks or coffee :) I have found my mechanic!!!!! Definitely recommend this place for all your car needs! read more

Great business to deal with. Really professional but not uptight. Very friendly and love their customers. I came here as an unplanned to do for my smog test and I didn't need to rely on a coupon but still had a really good price. Ed, the owner let me hang out at the customer spot that was air conditioned with drinks and comfortable seating.. I rarely like dealing with auto folks cause it's a different language for me and it doesn't feel like they value my business but this place should be one of your first stops for any car-related stuff! read more

Do not expect good customer service or any explanation or the service or pricing. In fact, the owner "Ed" does not even make contact. He conducts himself as if you are interrupting him. read more

super quick and easy. Went during my lunch break. Ed was very nice and took care of everything for me and back to work in time. Thank you!!

I needed a smog and a lot of people were closed on tax day, April 15th. I looked up and found Ed's , and was in and out in a breeze. Ed is very nice and definitely recommend this smog place to others. Not to mention, he had the best price I could find in town! read more

I arrived at a 5 star smog test just 1000 feet down the road and they were not open until 9AM so I checked reviews and saw Ed's was open and had decent reviews. They also had the same deal for $30. Pulled right in and was immediately helped. I was in and out in 15 minutes with very friendly service! read more

Edi is great! He's so cool & so funny. I went into his shop at 7am before work for a Smog check & had a great experience. The service is great, he makes you feel completely welcomed & does his best to help you. My morning couldn't have gone smoother. If you need a Smog check or have any other car issues, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Edi! I appreciate all your help. read more

This place was great, I went to another smog shop a day prior and they did the entire test without first doing the readiness check. Here, they immediately checked to make sure I would be able to pass the readiness monitor before driving on to the rollers. Saved me a lot of wasted time. They were also really friendly and not as busy as some of the other nearby shops. Hopefully for them that changes, but I appreciated that I didn't have to wait. If they had some chairs for me to fair around in while I waited I would have given another star. read more

Very important to know that this place is Star certified! For those of us with older cars... Love this place. Quick, efficient, nice waiting room with air conditioning, a TV and lots of magazines. Ed was friendly and pleasant. Definitely my new smog place! read more

Nothing like strolling in on a Saturday unannounced and getting taking care of, in and out under 30 min. Great price too. Burbank/NOHO area averages $50-$60 for a smog check, Ed charged me $30. Holla. Thanks Ed! read more

Quick and easy service. Very friendly. Owner was nice enough to give me the coupon price even though I didn't print it out and bring it with me. Owner also owns the body shop next door and can help with any car service needs. I recommend for any NoHo resident that needs there Smog Check done fast and easy. FOR THE FUTURE: ALWAYS PRINT THE COUPONS! read more

Was your morning like mine? Planning to go to trusty Joe's in NoHo for your smog check, only to pull up and realize he's closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays? And then yelping furiously to find another place for your test, dread and annoyance mounting because you don't know who to trust with your car or where to go? Well, don't worry. Just put your car in drive and go less than a mile down Burbank blvd to Ed. Excellent and fast service; I was in and out in 25 minutes. And the price dropped to $35 when I mentioned yelp, so make sure you do too! Comfortable waiting room with free Keurig coffee, water, magazines, and the best-of-the-best of daytime court reality television. Thank you, Ed, for saving the day! read more

Had a great experience here. My mom & I came very randomly on a Saturday after the place we usually go to didn't work out. Pleasantly surprised at the ease of getting in & out, friendly service & reasonable price, as good if not better than other places. They were super helpful & everything went smoothly. We'll definitely return in the future. :) read more

Quick and easy service with no waiting or having to leave and come back, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable waiting room. Will definitely go back for any and all services to my cars. I did, however, find it a little strange that they told me they would only give me a "huge discount" on my smog test if I wrote them a Yelp review, but their website clearly states that all smog tests for 2000-2015 cars (under which category my car falls) are $30, which is what I was charged. So really I wasn't given a discount...I dunno, maybe some miscommunication there, but definitely not enough to keep me from going back. read more

Fast but over priced. $58 for a smog that I could have gotten for $35 if I didn't need it at such an early hour... But they do open at 7am for all you early birds. read more

Very fast and convenient. Went during my lunch break. Ed was very nice and took care of everything for me and back to work in time. Thank you!! read more

I despise this part of owning a car in LA, however it's the nature of the beast.... Anywho, I proscrastinated until the last day to get my smog test. The place I usually go to was closed so I Googled the next closest location. I do believe I spoke with Mickey, but they were very quick & professional and friendly. I'll be back in two years! read more

Customer service is very important to. I found Ed on yelp and decided to try based on reviews. Staff was prompt and very polite. I was comfortable in the waiting area as i chilled with my cup of coffee :-) but cudnt get to cozy cuz it took little time for my smog check. Friendly,clean and precise I will return for my auto needs because they offer a variety of services.:-) read more

Was looking to get my new purchase of a 1998 Honda Civic smogged before having to be at work at 9am. Not a lot of places would even smog a car below 2000, and the ones that would didn't open til 9am. I called Eds, they were open and could do the job. Ed was very informative over the phone about their pricing. When I arrived he showed legitimate concern for me and my vehicle, checking the computer first and foremost to make sure it hadn't been tampered with. He kept me up to date throughout the process, then when he saw I was "yelping" he offered a discount even though my car is old, that's good business! The car passed and the job took 10 minutes tops. Results were sent directly to the DMV electronically and the staff was very friendly! I will be recommending Ed for smog, and Mike's auto repair which is all part of Ed's spot :) read more

Eds Smog Test Only Center - Checking out the 1998 Honda Civic. Not a lot of spots that will do below 2000 and are open at 7am! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Was the easiest and fastest process. Fair prices. Highly recommend!

I've pass place on my way to work. Decided to stop by for a smog test without an appointment. Ed is super firendly, i was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Usually i hate getting anything done on my car without my husband for fear of getting ripped off (embarrassing I know). Didn't feel that way at Eds. Thank you! read more

I came in for a quick smog check and got so much more! Edi was helpful and funny from the get-go. The waiting room was clean, had refreshments and a comfy couch for me to enjoy while I waited. After paying a reasonable fee for my smog check Edi brought up my missing mirror on the passenger side I've been trying to replace for quite some time now. He took a look at it along with the mirror I purchased a few months back that I knew wouldn't work without a backing plate. He gave me suggestions and showed me where the damage truly was on my car, then offered to find me some options on replacements and said he would call with pricing. He made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I would definitely consider coming to him if anything goes wrong with my car in the future. Thanks, Edi! read more

Ed is very accommodating, friendly guy! He gave excellent and quick service for my car! I will be back again.

Fast, friendly and affordable! Couldn't ask for a better experience. Unbeatable price and speed. Thanks so much! read more

Ed is very welcoming. He goes above and beyond. He is simply the best. Great Hours, Great Service, Great Prices. I always get my cars smog check here.  As well as other services.Clean place and friendly service. I highly recommend this place. Plus their shop is STAR Certified which is highly recommended! read more

Ed hooked us up. Although this is my first review, it's a legitimate one. I'm not some employee hyping up Ed's. He got my wife and my car done in twenty minutes a piece. He also gave us the yelp discount. The trick was to say, "I'd like the yelp discount." Don't forget that bit. $35. He was also friendly and quick about getting us rung up and out. read more

This morning I stopped at another nearby smog check down the street that had 5 stars and over 500 reviews on Yelp. I arrived at said location at 9:00am (when they are supposed to open) but no one was there. By 9:15, the doors were still locked and not a soul inside. There were already 3 other people waiting ahead of me and in a location where there was nowhere to park with all the nearby street parking taken, I looked up the next closest smog check. Enter Eds Smog Test. It was just on the other side of Vineland and they also had a special Yelp deal for $30, same as the other place. I pulled into their parking lot (it's a bit packed but that's because there's also a body shop and repairs in that little nook). 15 minutes later, my car passed the check and I was on my way. They are super fast, friendly and efficient. Thanks guys for the last minute save; be back in two years! read more

Drove in after rushing from work, the website said open till 6:30 PM, got there at 5:45 PM. Was turned away, as they said the smog machine was off, but told come first thing in the morning and we'll get you out.......groan...but ok...so I showed up at 8:15 AM.....turned away again....we all know time is money and I wasted my time and they'll get ZERO $$ from me...come on dudes.... read more

The price is more reasonable than a lot of other places - $35 for my 2012 MINI. Fast, friendly and efficient! Thanks Ed!

Came here for a smog check. Great, friendly, quick service. Price is excellent. Make sure to look on their website for the latest coupon. Highly recommended. read more

What can I say. This is the second car that I took to Ed and it could not have been easier!! I call him up and ask when is a good time and he tells me. If I can make it, I come in. If not, I ask when are other good times. Each time it was SO simple give him the keys and paperwork and its done without any fuss. My take, why go anywhere else? Ed is the man for me and maybe for you too!! (It doesn't hurt that he is the best price I can find) read more

I called to see if I could come by and get a smog check for my 2012 Passat. I was on my lunch break and in a hurry so I called and the gentleman said to come over, he'd take me right away, and it'd be $35. I was greeted by Ed and he showed me to the waiting room which was SO nice and cool (it was a hot day), there was complimentary drinks as well. In less than 15 minutes I was out of there with my smog check papers. I highly recommend this place. read more

Was looking for a new Smog Check place because of other places charged steep prices ($60) and I had found this place for $30!!! Within 20 minutes I was in and out.. They also specialize in auto-repair which is next door. With the fast and excellent serviced I received I'll definitely stop by again. read more

A lot of these positive reviews must be fake because other people that I know said that they were overcharged at this place. I went there one time and will never go back again. The owner is not friendly and acts like he can care less if he has your business or not. There are much cheaper and friendlier smog places in the area. read more
