Open DMV envelope... Yeah, it's probably time to renew... WHAT?! NO! NO! I gotta get this thing smog tested??? Damn California rules!! OK it's not that bad, especially if you go to the Glendale Smog Center. It is Saturday afternoon, I cruise over, Albert walks up and starts the test immediately. As in, within 60 seconds of me pulling up. You can sit inside and wait, but the whole thing only takes about 10 minutes. 60 bucks cash, sign the receipt, and Albert reports the results to the DMV. Great guy, great place, I cannot imagine smog checks going any faster or smoother. Thanks Albert! read more

I've had a great time going here. Went to get a smog check for my boyfriend's car during a last minute trip on a Saturday afternoon, and then came back for mine because the guy running the place was so nice and quick and efficient to let me come and do my smog check (even before he was going to leave to run to a meeting)! No fuss, no frills. Fair price and I paid cash to get rid of any extra fees. $60 out the door. Less than 15 minutes. Highly recommend. Will come back again. Thank you! read more

See all

Found my new Smog Guy for years to come, period. Albert gave me the best experience that honestly puts everyone else to shame. A guy with integrity and honesty, running a shop with straight-forward and very affordable prices (unlike other smog places), and extremely courteous and helpful and professional towards you no matter what the smog results are. I saw how friendly he was with the person before me and how easy and effortless everything was beforehand. First time I actually had an enjoyable smog experience. Albert, keep up the amazing service and attitude and business. It makes a difference to us all. THANK YOU!! read more

Smog check went smoothly. Quick and fast service. Paid via Zelle. No issues. It probably took 10 minutes tops.

Alrbik was quick and efficient and made the whole process easy. Gave me a great price for my smog check. The service was high quality. I will definitely bring my car back here in the future. read more

I got my notification that my car needed a smog check and well, to me its not the best feeling in the world. So I jumped on Yelp's quote finder to find me a technician. Glendale Smog Center was the quickest to answer and Albrik was extremely helpful and responsive to all my inquiries. I set an appointment for the following day and he was more than accommodating. Arriving at the shop, Albrik was the one who assisted me and greeted me with a warm handshake and smile. He got to work right away and explained that he took either cash, electronic payment (Zelle, Cashapp, etc.) and CC. The service didn't take long and was done in about 15-20 minutes from when I first drove in. All in all it cost me $60. For me, my car is important and having not to wait and having it done quickly was equally important. Albrik checked off all those boxes. Seeing that I live in the area, it would be hard not to return to him moving forward. Thanks so much! read more

I didn't catch the technician's name but the smog test result sheet says "Albrik" and i hope he wasn't logged in with a coworker's user ID or something, because he was awesome! I first went to a Smog shop on Mountain St. and Verdugo Rd. in Glendale and the tech there was trying to feed me some BS. Well, Albrik at Glendale Smog Center knew what he was looking at and is an absolute professional. I was in and out of there in about 20 minutes with a PASS result! read more

Albrik was so kind & polite! Very efficient & definitely will be the spot to come for my next star smog check for sure! Took only about 10 minutes ! Appreciate you Albrik! (Sorry if I spelled your name wrong) ! read more

Needed to take the car for a smog check, called and they said they close at 4:00 pm that specific day, but that they would wait until I got there which they were true to their word. The service took maybe less than 15 minutes and couldn't have been happier and they were very affordable as well. Definitely would recommend. read more

They quickly gave me a quote through yelp, which was the lowest price around (gives a discount if paying with cash). The smog check itself was very quick and easy. And he honored the yelp price with no surprise add ons. I will plan to return for future smog checks, and have already recommended them to a family member. read more

Great, fast service! This is my 2nd time getting my smog check here. No appointment needed. Discount if you pay in cash! I was in and out in like 10 minutes. Albert was amazing and very helpful! read more

Glendale Smog Center - Very clean and well-organized work area, lots of seating while you wait (for me it was 10 minutes total) - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Glendale, California

Amazing service - Albrik is so nice! & it was done so quickly - it was over before I could check my emails. Thank you!

I came in as a walk-in, and my smog check was completed quickly and efficiently in less than 15 minutes. The gentleman was extremely helpful and accommodating - he even turned my car after the job so I could drive off! I would return for my next smog check. read more

Truly, the fastest smog check I have ever had performed out of maybe a dozen. It wasn't the cheapest, but it was consistent with what others charge in the Glendale area, and it was more important for me to get the test done quickly rather than drive out to the valley to save 10 bucks or more. Staff was polite, and now I don't have to send anything to the DMV because that was all done for me in less than 10 minutes. Will probably come again the next time I have to have a smog check performed. read more

Glendale Smog Center - My baby getting smogged - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Glendale, California

I reached out on Memorial Day and was pleasantly surprised to learn they were open! No appointment needed -- I showed up around 10 in the morning and they got started right after the customer ahead of me. Highly recommend checking pricing on Yelp and mentioning you found them there -- that seemed to help with getting a discount. Pricing was shared up front with no hassle. Just be sure to mention Yelp and the quoted rate when you arrive so the staff knows. Friendly, fast, and efficient. The smog check took about 15 minutes. Easy to find at the corner of Colorado and Chevy Chase. The parking lot is tiny and a bit tight, but manageable. Quick, affordable, and solid service -- I'll definitely be back. read more

Great work! Quick in-and-out service, friendly staff, super efficient. Fair prices. Will return!!!

Never been here before. I showed up without an appointment, service was great. The smog test was quick and easy. There was no line to wait in on a thursday afternoon! I would definitely come back here. Pricing was great. As is the case with anywhere, bring cash if you can! read more

Friendly and quick service. There was one car in the bay when I arrived, but i was greeted as soon as i drove in, and only had to wait a few minutes until it was my turn. the driveway is pretty small and seems to share a lot with the business next door, but there's still room for 1-2 cars to pull in and out of the street. the employee and i had corresponded earlier via yelp message when i asked to make an appointment/come in at a convenient date and time, and i seem to have gotten a Yelp discount. i believe i saw a sign that there was a cash discount (i'm guessing because there's no credit card fee.) he was knowledgable and talked through the process of registering my license and how the smog check would be sent electronically to the DMV. overall, quick and convenient. read more

Information and estimate was quickly sent when requested. Friendly and efficient service. Thank you!

Ad hoc visit out of necessity of doing it on a weekend turned out to be extremely efficient, friendly and fast.

Easy to get appointment. Very reasonable cost. He does not do smog repair, so he doesn't find problems that he can then fix. Was fast and easy. I highly recommend this shop for smog tests. read more

From the second I had a seat in the waiting area my car was tested and ready in 10 minutes. The worker was very kind and professional. I highly recommend this business and I'll definitely come back the next time I need a smog check. read more

Wow, such fast service and reasonable price. Was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Cost was $50 if you pay cash; best deal around...!

I called in on Friday around noon and requested to come in at 2 PM. Albrik told me that was fine and that he would take care of me. When I arrived it seemed like a busy day and he was running around on his own taking care of all the cars. He was so kind and apologized profusely for making me wait, even though it was only about 15 minutes. He got the smoke check done quickly and efficiently and with a smile as well. I really appreciated his service and highly recommend him! read more

Amazing service and hospitality. Came for Smog Check. Abrik was friendly and made the check so seamless and easy it felt like I wasn't even there. I can't remember total time but it was very fast. I usually prefer not interacting with people, but Abrik was so nice and made conversation so easy. I paid $60. Abrik was nice enough to slash off $5. Super nice hard working guy. Would come back again! read more
