    Smog checking is not the most fun but it can be at least pleasant and non-stressful. Ciro provides that kind of environment with his very friendly and helpful demeanor. We have been taking our cars into his shop at least three to four times, each time a very nice experience. No appointment needed it seems, you can call and ask about the next availability. Ciro welcomes you to sit at a table with a few magazines and candy while he services your car. Quick and efficient service, thank you many times, Ciro! Credit cards accepted. The only challenging part is the shop while located on a relatively quiet residential street, does not really have a parking lot or space to wait in so you may drive a few times around or find street parking-or, do some shopping/errands at nearby Glendale Galleria/The Americana. But don't let that deter you from choosing Glendale Smog Check and Ciro!

I ordered a used replacement from eBay and after it arrived I looked for a body shop that could install it. After reading glowing reviews, I called Hyperion to ask if hey could schedule the installation, expecting to wait a few days. Instead the guy on the phone said to bring it in at 10:30 the next day. I didn't get there as a tweak in the door itself caused my overhead lights to stay on and drain my battery. I arranged for a friend to take me home, expecting to leave the car for at lrast the afternoon. But manager (I did not get hois name) said it would just be a half hour. He called over a ytechnician and 20 minutes later the car was ready! I had some body damage and the manager quoted me a price apologetically, noting that Lexus Parts are super expensive. I said well, it's a 15 year old car - probably isn't even worth the cost of the repairs. I started to walk away and stopped, turned and said, "Wait, I haven't paid you!" And he said, "no charge". I was dumbfounded and only hope I thanked him emough. Great work, fast, and even complimentary. I'm in awe. Go there!

Auto repair shops tend to be hit or miss if they do what they say they will, and this Shop excels in every way possible. When we spend as much on our cars as we do, you want to know that it is being taken care of behind closed doors, I can tell you without a doubt that this shop treats your car as if it was their own. TLDR; this is a car repair shop run by car people who love cars. Not only are they cool to talk Shop with, but they are very transparent and trustworthy.

    UPDATE: I posted a detailed review of my experience here last week. After being publicly visible…read morefor several days, it was removed on February 17th, claiming the content "does not appear to be my own." I'm reposting because every word is my actual experience as an 8-year customer, and other people deserve to know what happened. Eight years as a customer - huge decline since management changed I've been a customer here since 2012 when Chris was running things. Back then they were fair, professional, stood behind their work. That version of this shop doesn't exist anymore. I just finished dealing with Rubin on a repair for my 1989 MX-6 Turbo and I'm beyond frustrated. Here's what happened. The battery issue: I brought them a brand new Optima AGM battery from O'Reilly's - $300+ with the extended warranty because my turbo needs a quality battery that can handle multiple discharge cycles. They were supposed to fix the ignition switch that wasn't fully disengaging (which drains batteries). I specifically told them not to leave the battery connected while they worked on it for exactly this reason. They left it connected. Killed my brand new battery. When I picked up the car months later and realized the battery was dead, Rubin promised he'd work with O'Reilly's to get it replaced and call me back. That was 6-8 months ago. Never called. When I finally reached him again, he acted like that conversation never happened and offered me a basic Interstate battery instead. So now I'm supposed to accept a cheap replacement for the premium battery THEY destroyed? That's not how this works. Work that wasn't completed: My gauge cluster still doesn't work - can't see speed, fuel level, temperature. That was one of my main concerns bringing the car in. The radio they disconnected is still not working. The door lock they replaced fell down inside the door panel. I asked Rubin to either fix the cluster or refer me to an electrician who specializes in older cars. Said he'd get back to me. Never did. Condition when I picked it up: Backseat was completely disconnected and flipped over. Windshield was so dirty I literally couldn't see to drive home. Wires sticking out everywhere. Screws and washers scattered all over the floors and seats. When I asked why the backseat was taken apart, Rubin said "the mechanic needed to get back there." Okay but why didn't anyone PUT IT BACK? The runaround: First they said the ignition switch was the problem. Then it was the radio. Now Rubin says my car "just has electrical issues" and that's not their problem. Wait - I paid you $3,800 TO FIX electrical issues. If it still has electrical issues after you worked on it, then either the work wasn't done properly or you're not equipped to handle older performance cars. Rubin's selective amnesia about promises made, the battery situation, and the incomplete work has crossed a line. If Chris were still here this would never have happened. I don't know what Nick's involvement is at this point but Rubin is running this place into the ground. Eight years of loyalty and thousands of dollars spent over the years, and this is what it's come to. Really disappointing.
