Came for a smog check -- service was warm and friendly, everything was clearly laid out and the costs were clearly articulated. They also send all the paperwork to the DMV for you so it's easy for you. Got quotes for a few places nearby and went to this one because of the combination of price, good reviews, and photos of cute dogs. Heard how the technicians spoke to other customers too and they treated everyone with kindness and explained everything they were doing. Given my experience so far, would return for other car needs, too! read more

Called these guys yesterday afternoon to see if they could take my 1990 VW Cabriolet in for smog. They were immediately very friendly on the phone and said they had one car ahead of me but, "Sure, come on down." Quoted me at $100 and charged me not a dime more. Smog took about 45 min (typical for an older vehicle, pre-1996, like mine). They were efficient, friendly, and kind. I've been overcharged at other places before, but these guys were great. Highly recommend. Plus there's a waiting room with comfy recliners, AC, bathroom, WiFi, and even a coffee machine. read more

Ok aside from making me wait almost 20 mins to get my car on the lot. After patiently waiting I politely asked for help and he said he's busy and if I like I can come back another day says the older larger white guy. Well that was an asshole move and you can't seem to get your business organize while your flirting with a female customer wasting your time on that rather addressing cars waiting . This is terrible service and rude customer service read more

We were surprised to find out that this was a part of Long's. No complaints since we've trusted Long's for over 20 years for all our automotive service needs. We called on a Saturday morning around 10am and they said to come on in. When we arrived, we were next in line for the smog check, which, we were told, would take 15-20 min, by a super friendly technician. We perused a nearby business and came back to wait in the waiting room, where we met the wonderful Chocolate. As promised, the test was done, they sent the certificate onwards online, we paid and were on our way. read more

Amazing! Quick and easy ! Treated with respect and everything was communicated very kindly !

Been here twice, quick friendly service. My go to spot for when that smog check comes up

If you're not sure your car will pass, and need more than one try... come here, because you get 1 FREE test. I failed the first time. My cars timing was off , and I needed an OEM gas cap. Took my car to the shop and they fixed the problem. I ordered the OWM gas cap and brought the car back for a re-test. My car PASSED! I highly recommend Smog One Test Only. read more

I had a great experience at Smog One! They were quick (~15 mins), responsive (picked up the phone immediately), and helpful (answered all of my questions and explained the process). While I was waiting for my Smog Check I sat inside with Chocolate. A very friendly pup. Went to the DMV the day after Smog One to register my car and they accepted my smog check. Thank you! read more

Smog One Test Only - Chocolate :) - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is great. Took me without an appointment. Fast easy and friendly and their dog Chocolate is an absolute delight.

Friendly, Fast, and Professional. I will use Smog One Test Only again. Great air-conditioned waiting lounge, and friendly dog. Thank you! read more

Been there twice. Always timely. Very sweet bulldog there too! They report to DMV promptly. I'll very likely go there again.

This business didn't move. It was sold to totally new owners of an auto repair shop called Longs Automotive. It's not accurate to call it a "test only" site. My car passed smog tests for 10 years at Smog One Test Only on Hyperion. I took it to the new location/ new owner and my car didn't pass smog. Once I took it to a whole different smog test place it passed fine. The positive reviews here are for the previous owners and old location. Save yourself time, money & headaches by smogging your car somewhere else. read more

Great services and prices. Took in my Lexus RX for smog. Got quote over the phone and stopped by with no appointment the next day. Was done in about 15 minutes. Would highly recommend if you're close to the Silverlake area...very close to Edendale. read more

I love it. I was in and out in a matter of a very short few minutes. Manny was super friendly and even chatted with me for a moment. He was so super busy. The phone was ringing off the hook but he appreciated the customer in front of him, me. He did a quick smog check for me and I was on my way. I love how clean their lot is. You can wait at a small little patio table just outside the bay. I saved a few bucks by mentioning Yelp. So, that was awesome. I'm so happy to be able to support this long time neighborhood business. read more

I came in Saturday morning for a smog check. The smog check was fast and pricing is fair. Thanks.

(Serviced 11/18/16 F @ 8:30am): A true testament to a thriving small local business located in my self-proclaimed "hipsterhood"! Thanks to the trusty Yelp app, a friend recently had her car smogged at Smog One Test Only and highly-recommended that I did the same for my parent's car in order to renew its registration. Recently, my go-to smog test place inexplicably shut down, so I needed to find another. With a 5-star rating (280 reviews at the time), I was more than happy to support a small local business conveniently close to me. After, my own "test drive" of this place, would I return for future smoggy business!?: Standard Smog Check ($60.00 less $10.00 with Yelp Check-in) - Usually requred every two years, this was the most frequent and simplest of inspections. FYI... they also offered STAR Certified Smog Checks if a more rigorous inspection was necessary (usually for older vehicles and those which have had issues in the past). Service - I had no appointment, simply drove up, stated what I needed, and had my Yelp Check-in offer displayed on my phone. Manny, the one-person shop owner enthusiastically greeted me, took my keys, and asked that I stayed at the outdoor waiting area which was basically a round metal schoolyard table with an umbrella. In less than five minutes, my car passed inspection, test results electronically submitted to the DMV, I quickly paid, I was good for another two years, and all I needed to do was just pay the registration fee on my end. Easy peasy. Parking (Free) - Three automotive businesses were housed in a tight corner block which all shared only a handful of spots. So, if any of these businesses got real busy, parking would be an issue. However, there appeared to be some nearby metered and timed sign-posted street parking along the main drag of Hyperion Ave. and surrounding side streets. Atmosphere, décor, ambience - Located inside the Hyperion Auto Plaza at the corner of Hyperion Ave. and Tracy St. with a sign that caught your attention https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=YjQctVLFn8xMpr21Vf_RWw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, this simple one-car one-lift garage storefront was tucked away alongside a cinderblock wall with a tiny office, and all the necessary equipment and tools. Various framed certifications and awards hung on the office wall to reassure all customers while the rest of the walls were kept clear from clutter. Plenty of natural lighting entered when the silver metal door was opened; otherwise, fluorescent electric ceiling lights covered it all. There were no TVs or background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=p-xMxXnSRDm0cDQSua1vgA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, I tried to support small local businesses whenever I could and Smog One Test Only was a perfect example of how well Yelp helped (and of course, in some cases hurt) me in this search. Sure, you might've found cheaper prices elsewhere, but at the end of the day, Manny and his shop provded me everything I needed, and I planned to tell others about him...and his excellent customer service. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $50.00; NO tip required). Although they accepted credit cards, not mine of choice...AMEX! 4.5 STARS read more

Quick, reasonable price, and very friendly. And the pup was a nice bonus (I'm a sucker for a cute dog)

Delivers- fast, easy, fair. Go ahead and get your smog checked here. You won't be disappointed.

This place is a sham. The guy that runs it is super rude. $60 for a smog check. He ran my test and told me I needed to put 100-150 miles on my car before he could send in my forms because I just had work done on my car. He had me pay $50 up front to come back with $10 more in cash after I put on the mileage. Neglected to communicate it had to be within 10 days. When I went back to finish the test (outside of the 10 day window), he tried to charge me another $60 to do it all over again. read more

Always quick, easy and convenient here at Smog One. Been coming here for years and with three different vehicles. If his doors are open this is where I get my smog done. read more

Great spot! In and out in 10 mins without an appointment. $10. off w/ Yelp coupon. $50. total. Will go back!

Fast and efficient smog test. Went in for my first time ever and ran into no troubles. As a first car owner, I thought the experience could've gone way better. I had couple of first-time questions and the owner seemed a bit rude and intimidating. 6.5/10 experience read more

Showed up on Monday morning. No wait. Manny was hilarious, cracking jokes the whole time. Will definitely be back here when I am due for my next smog check. read more

I had to get a smog check done to renew my car registration this year. This is the exact kind of errand I avoid like a baby until a) Matt B. nags me into action or b) I get in trouble. Last year, I carried my registration sticker in my purse for months and forgot to put it on my actual car until I got the world's dumbest most avoidable $25 ticket. (It took less than one minute to get the sticker on in the end, even including the walk to and from the garage.) With the smog check, I let my husband remind me about fifteen times and we finally went to Smog One Test Only over the weekend. Turns out this was an easy errand, and that I did not need to put it off or drag a plus one to do it. I drove in on Sunday afternoon and Manny, who appears to be quite popular on this Yelp page, attended to us immediately. He told us to hang tight for about six minutes, and before we could even imagine getting impatient, the smog check was done. We paid the $60 and Manny took care of the reporting and whatever other pain in the ass parts might've been involved so I could renew my registration online hours later. Next time I need a smog check, I'll act like an adult and get it done, preferably with Manny's help. Now that I know that it just takes some money and six minutes of my time, I think I can approach this errand with confidence. read more

Super fast no nonsense service and very reasonable prices. Located right on the north east corner of Hyperion and Tracy. There are two driveways to get in. One on Hyperion and one on Tracy. Since time is money and the gentleman working there is as efficient as it gets I don't see why I would go anywhere else to get a smog test. Highly recommended! read more

I had my pervious smog test here and I remembered how pain-free it was. This afternoon, I went in for another test and it was even easier than the first!!! The guy said it would take 15 minutes. It may have actually taken less time. So easy. read more

I needed a smog test to renew my registration and naturally, I went on yelp! I'm glad I did because not only was this place easy to find, it was a complete gem! Manny had me in and lot in probably 15 minutes total. He was incredible efficient, kind and even a bit of life advice was given :) The $10 off was a nice bonus, too! Thanks! read more

Smog One Test Only - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I visited Smog One Test Only this morning. I was a bit apprehensive because recent reviews suggest Manny hasn't been around lately. After all, it was Manny's impeccable social skills and technical expertise that kept my wife and me coming back. I'M HAPPY TO INFORM YERVAND, MANNY'S RIGHT-HAND MAN, IS AS AMAZING AS MANNY! I arrived at opening time, 8:30 a.m., and was greeted by a very friendly Yervand. Not only was Yervand incredibly punctual, he was very customer-centric and pleasant. I had a chat via phone with him yesterday. He was equally cordial on the phone and advised me to show up at opening time, 8:30 a.m., if I wanted to improve my chances of being first in line. Yervand's phone suggestion paid off. I was first in line. The test went smoothly. In a matter of minutes, barely a couple of pages into my book, Yervand concluded the test, and I was on my way. What a great feeling when there's continuity in a business and a fine employee like Yervand picks up where the owner, Manny, left off. Smog One Test Only is in great hands with Yervand. Though I miss chatting with Manny, I hope he is enjoying his well-deserved break after many years of running the shop alone. read more

Manny was quick, polite, and helpful. $60 standard rate. If there's no line you'll be done in 10-15 minutes with no fuss. Great experience, would recommend to anyone. read more
