Smog Pros- smog check inspection prices and hourly rate.
Ricardo M.

I went to smog pros to get some assistance filing for the Consumer Assistance program. Instead of giving me information that wasn't true to gain the business, they told me the truth and recommended I go to a Cap certified repair facility. Due the great price for the smog and the Cap repair facility saying the first step is smog inspection, I came back to do the test. They include one free retest once the vehicle is repaired.

Just another shop

Just your average smog check station. I'm glad this one is attached to an Arco. I get to buy some snacks while I wait. Smog test is $29.95 and the State Smog Test Certificate is an additional $8.25. To save money you can tell them you don't want the certificate since they are suppose to send it electronically the the DMV. Otherwise, they will charge you for the certificate which is basically a piece of paper that expires in 90 days. Its up to you!

Ask for Gary or Peter. Trustworthy, friendly, honest mechanics for auto repair and maintenance. Oil change, smog check, brake service, etc. My family has been coming here for decades so you know they're an honest group of individuals fixing your vehicle here. Located conveniently off the 710 freeway on Valley Blvd (literally RIGHT off the fwy, after you make your right turn). They really don't need my review since they have great business, but I like giving businesses the recognition they deserve. I came here for an oil change and Peter took me right in even though he was concurrently working on 3 or 4 other cars. I arrived later than my designated appointment time and Peter was very forgiving and flexible about it. I was in and out in less than 15-20 minutes. Their waiting area allows you to watch while they work on your vehicle or read the Daily News newspaper on the counter. $26.95 for oil change- Fantastic!

See all

Overall Experience I've been to this place twice for smog…read morecheck services on two different vehicles -- once in March and again in May. Both times, everything was resolved the same day. From the first interaction to the final paperwork, the experience was consistently smooth and professional. Customer Service March 2026 - I originally called around to several smog check locations. Some offered slightly cheaper pricing for my older vehicle, but the reviews here stood out to me. When I called regarding my 1999 Infiniti G20, Vic answered the phone, provided me with a quote, and was respectful, patient, and professional throughout the conversation. The reviews about him were accurate. Vic is chill, professional, and easy to talk to. After both my most visits for service, he will definitely be my go-to person moving forward. Why My Most Recent Visit Stood Out On May 16th around 12:20 PM, I attempted to pay my vehicle registration at AAA in Alhambra and realized I needed a smog test first. I called Vic around 12:30 PM, fully expecting to schedule something later in the week since he closes at 1 PM. He asked where I was, and since I was about 2 miles away, we both agreed it would probably take 15-20 minutes to get there, leaving only around 10-15 minutes before closing. Despite that, he respectfully told me to come down because he could still get it done. When I arrived, both Vic and his colleague assisted me and another customer at the same time while still keeping everything organized and professional. He completed the smog test quickly and efficiently, and the pricing was fair. Honestly, he saved me from having to take another day to handle the smog test which would take time and gas, and that level of customer service really stood out. Shop & Waiting Area Compared to many smog stations, the overall property is shared with several neighboring shops. However, Vic's specific area had enough clearance and space for vehicles to park, wait, and get tested comfortably without worrying about maneuvering through tight spots or risking scratches on other vehicles. The lounge area itself is small, but it's indoors and cool, which is especially appreciated with summer approaching. I also liked that the pricing was clearly posted and broken down by vehicle year/type, making everything straightforward and transparent. Extra Touches One thing that genuinely surprised me was that he polishes customers' headlights after the service. Whether or not it completely restores them, it's still a thoughtful and unique extra touch that most places do not offer. Final Thoughts Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for honest, efficient, and professional smog check service. Vic and his team made both experiences stress-free, and great customer service like that is hard to find nowadays.

Great man, great cat, great service…read more Vic handled a morning barrage of smog checks quite professionally with the minimal amount of lot size he has -- Also remembered me after my first visit 5yrs ago. Got to see Maiden this time!

Needed an oil change and called on a Saturday afternoon expecting to have to wait until next…read moreweekend but Nelson was able to squeeze me in the next day. Quick & great service. Great price.

I never rate anything one star. I don't care even if I was treated horrible, because I understand…read morepeople have their bad days. But today I am truly disappointed. My uncle had been coming to Redbox to service his Honda for over a decade already, recommended me, and seeing the 4.2 star review that backed up this shop I was ecstatic. I had a very simple wiring issue, my positive terminal harness cable snapped. Bought a replacement for $25, easy job, but I had injured my thumb and my nail broke off. I figure I'll just come to my uncles recommended shop. First red flag, talking over you on the phone, I kept trying to explain the issue and the cause: my battery was loose, and snapped the wire, but the owner of the shop just kept cutting me off never letting me get there. I told myself it's fine, I get it we have a language barrier. It's the same thing with my family, no worries. I show up the next day, waved hi to the owner, we smiled, I walked up to the buzz cut Asian man, I told him exactly what I needed. He looks at the wire look at my broken harness and says," this is not the right part." He walks away handing me back my harness. I felt so stupid, so I started comparing the part to the car. it was the right part. I measured every single connection. I bought the god damn right part. I walked back to the Asian man, "hey I did purchase the right part" and he then he finally realized. Afterwards he hands the owner the wire, owner goes," Just f*king take off his fuse box and connect this there!" Walks to me "$120?" I say are you serious? "Ok Good Bye" waves me off and walks away laughing. That was the most disrespectful I've ever been treated by a mechanic. I stormed towards him but wary of his age, I calmed myself I asked him," why were you so nice on the phone, and very willing to work on my car with your son, but when I show up you give me this treatment?" He explains, " that is not the issue, we need to get paid, it doesn't matter how cheap you buy the part or from where, we need to get paid" I understand, it's a very simple job, I understand it's laughable, I understand the job is too simple, but I did not deserve that treatment. Nor does anybody else. Please improve your attitude, and competency.
