This place is as advertised. Literally a 5 star business. Super clean, nice and friendly husband and wife team and prompt service. When I got there for a smog check, they were super busy but the wife Armine asked me to sit down and wait.

Came here for a smog check first thing in the morning and I was out within 15 minutes. Straight-forward, easy peasy. Also, shoutout to Alen! I believe he is the owner, he was quite friendly and we had a nice chat. P.S. I heard it gets busy, so I recommend coming early. Pro tip: pay in cash and you'll get a discount! read more

Fantastic helpful advice would recommend AA+quality work, the price of service is competitive.

Oh my goodness, what a model of efficiency and speed! Drive up, instant service, pleasant staff, cash price (save $5 if you pay cash!) and drove out with less than ten minutes total. I visited in the early part of "lunch hour" if that is a good time, not sure. But it was a expeditious service. Highly recommend this business for your smog check. read more

Pasadena Test Only & Smog Check - Entrance to smog check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Pasadena, California

I think this is my 5th smog check here. I still love this place. I drive up from Monterey Park 'cuz this place is so wonderful. And no, I'm not affiliated in any way. This year, I came on a Friday around 2:00pm. I figured it wouldn't be busy. Wrong! There was a line of people - 'cuz the word is out. Still, it only took 15 minutes and I was done. If I had to wait 1/2 hour or more to get my car smogged at this place, I wouldn't care. He's got a great waiting room with WiFi. Alan is the best and now his wife has jumped in to help. She lines up the customers (and their paperwork) and Alan does the test. Then she gives you the printed results and a receipt. They've got it down to a science. TIP! Go at the off hours. You know what they are. Not weekends and not around lunch time. My only complaint is that I used to chit-chat about smog testing with Alan (I've been a shade-tree mechanic since I was 13) and he no longer has time to do that - he's too busy rolling cars through. I will repeat what I said in a past review... WOMAN - this is the place to get your car smog checked because he's honest, helpful and honest. Did I mention he's honest? read more

Came here for an oil change and was able to come in and get it fixed right away. Took about 20 minutes for the entire process. They even refilled my washer fluid and tire pressures. Costs me about $125 for my car. Update a few days later. I finally drove my car after getting my oil change and my car tells me that my tire pressures were low. After checking my tires, I saw that one of my tire caps were broken so now I need to pay extra for replacements. They weren't broken before I got my oil change... read more

Prompt service. No waits so no need for booking. Clean shop. Upfront pricing. Short and sweet service. I failed smog due to dealership repair/reset. Owner informed me in detail what to do to get recertified. read more

I chose them because of good reviews on Yelp! Thanks everyone. I have a 11 year old Tacoma so I changed to synthetic oil a few years ago. The prices have gone up quite a bit (as expected). I still think $100 was fair. I caught a break and they were able to do it immediately. Quick, friendly and easy. Thanks! read more

Smog checks are never fun (more inconvenient than anything). Pasadena Test Only & Smog was quick and reasonably priced. I was in the area and was able to bring my car in to get checked with only a 15 minute notice. It took them equally as long to check my car and have me on my way. Pro tip: Pay in cash for a small discount on your smog check. read more

The lady that works there has a attitude problem. Never again will she receive any business from me. She needs to learn how to be respectful of others. The price is cheap and so is she. read more

As easy as can be. I pulled up, he had me pull right into the garage. Both people working were masked up. I handed him my paper work and he said it would take about 5 minutes. He immediately starting running the test. They have a couple wooden chairs in the corner for you to sit in. The garage is open from both ends so it was very ventilated, sunny, and felt pandemic approved. I paid cash, to get the $40 deal and off I went. About as good of an experience as I could have possibly hoped for. read more

Fast and professional. Very friendly. Very knowledgeable about vehicles as well. Will go back

Allen's quick efficient and fair on price. Thanks for the service. Will bring all my cars from now on.

was in and out of there in a flash both times. Originally went there and was told my car failed because I just changed the battery. Apparently you can't have a new battery and get smog tested (it disconnected the car computer and reset "something") so I had to go back another time but retest is only $10. The lady there was very patient and explained to me what I needed to do in between and my car passed the 2nd test. If you pay cash it's only $40 vs cc is $45. read more

If there was a place to give 10 stars I would.... not because my car passed the Smog Test... but because this husband and wife team are awesome. They get the job done, they do it quickly, efficiently, and with a smile... a genuine smile. I had a long day at work and didn't want to stop to get this done. But I looked it up on Yelp, and this popped up... 600 plus reviews of excellent service. It took me no longer than 15minutes without an appointment. As I settled in to start reading my book, she called my name and my car was done. Amazing. This usually painful process was a delight. Paying cash, get a discount. Yelp member... get another one. 40.00 cash, out the door. Go here and watch this teamwork between husband and wife work like a well oiled machine. You won't be disappointed. read more
