Haik is the man, from expertise to knowledge and performance, this is the go to guy for sure. Don't smog elsewhere when you have Haik.

Joy R.

Had business with one of the shops next to Smog zone and figured it was the universe forcing me to stop procrastinating & get my smog check (so the dmv could release my registration stickers) Glad I did! Haik & Jack were friendly and so down to earth. I usually get intimidated in mechanic transactions but they were a breath of fresh air! Felt like I was back in my small town for a second. And they were quick!! Highly recommend! Thank me later ;)

See all

Great job! Came here on my lunch break and I was in and out in 15 minutes (even without an appointment!). I saw on their website that if you check-in on Yelp while you're there, you get a $15 discount, which I mentioned to the tester and received the discount. They're also the only ones who have ever done a smog check on my car properly. In the past, every time I've left a smog place, my 'check engine light' comes on because the people usually don't hook up the equipment right for some reason (boggles my mind every time). However, that did not happen today! This leads me to believe that these guys know something that the other guys don't, or maybe they just care more. Either way, I've found my new smog check go-to. read more

They got me in and out fast! I was looking on Yelp for a smog testing facility in my neighborhood, and found myself consistently put off by either the reviews or low ratings. I was thinking that I might have to settle for a less than pleasant experience when I finally came across Smog Zone. Like I said, they got me in and out fast. I was maybe there 10 minutes, and that includes the time I waited for them to finish checking a vehicle they had been testing when I arrived. They finished my test only a few minutes after I had filled out the paperwork. They were polite, quick and I plan to use them the next time I need a smog test. You don't have to settle for less than good service. Go to Smog Zone! read more

I called ahead and spoke with Haik, who told me he could get me in right away and told me a smog check would cost $50, after he applied a $10 discount. I arrived a few minutes later, and after a few minutes, Haik finished up on the car that he was working on and pulled mine in. Haik was professional and friendly, and he completed my smog check quickly. This was my 2nd time at Smog Zone (I had forgotten I went there a few years back), and both times went smoothly.

Getting a smog check can be an unwanted chore but at Smog Zone I was greeted with a smile and an upbeat attitude. I was prepared with my coffee, a list of work to do and low expectations as to comfort and time it would take. Fortunately a super friendly guy named Hike was just finishing up with someone and I was able to drive right up. He honored his YELP checkin coupon and I was out of there in 15 minutes. I know I was lucky to come by at just the right time because a lady came in just as he was finishing up with me. There was a comfortable sitting area out of the sun and there was a plug nearby I could've plugged in my phone if needed. I'm grateful for the positive vibes and quick turn around. read more

Getting your car smogged a pleasant experience? Actually yes! We just moved into the neighborhood and its always a hassle trying to wade through the incredible number of shady mechanics and car services until you find one you can trust. Usually along the way you find jerks, smooth talkers, idiots and sleaze balls. Lucky for me I found these guys through Yelp and was pleasantly surprised to find that all the great reviews were right on the mark. The gentleman working there was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and fast. Unlike some garages where you feel like getting a root canal might be more comfortable than being there, this place has a family run, neighborhood feel that makes you feel that you are in good hands. In fact, as I was talking to the guy, I found out that his dad actually runs a full garage right across the street. From now on, not only will I be getting any smog checks done here but I think I have found a garage for oil changes and any work I need done. Highly recommended! read more

Super fast, great service, no hassle, excellent operation. There is no doubt Smog Zone Van Nuys is the place to get a smog check done. I took my 2004 Honda civic there for a smog test on a Saturday, and was in and out in under half an hour. The owner, Haik, is extremely knowledgeable and has been in the business for over a decade. Very friendly, great service, and the price is great. You can plan your day knowing when you come to this operation, you won't be held up for hours waiting for your smog test to be done.

This is the place I go every time I need to get a smog test. The man who runs the business is so friendly and so nice, and so professional. And since the move (they used to be located across the street), it's actually even better, because there is much more room now, and it's easier to get in and out. There is now a small parking lot, so if you have to wait, it's no big deal. That being said, I've never had to wait. And if you call ahead, he'll let you know how busy he is, and when the best time to come in is. This is the sort of place that I prefer to give my business to, because it has that personal touch that I appreciate. One last thing: the chairs in the waiting area are really comfortable. read more

So i had a second to look at it , the previous shop told that the timing was off, so i brought my car here and they took a look at the vehicle and it turns out there was nothing wrong with the car. they didn't just save me money they saved me the hassle of looking for another smog place in the future i couldn't be anymore pleased with the results. If you want to save time and money come check them out they are nice and friendly. read more

I went to Smog Zone today @ 14125 Oxnard Street in the city of Van Nuys. My first time being there and I have to say I am happy to have found a new smog place. In the past I have had bad customer service, long wait time or just lazy people to do my smog. Haik @ Smog zone was very friendly and seemed to know exactly what he was doing. Great Service,high energy and Knowledgeable guys over @ smog zone. I will be going back to only this spot. I also will be telling all my friends and family about this place. Ask for Haik . read more

Haik could not have been more professional. I called twice before going in and both times he answered with a friendly, warm greeting. Haik was prepared when I showed up and took my car immediately. Because my car is older, he requested that I give him a heads up before arriving so that he could set up the special equipment for its' testing. I was in and out in no time and even though my car passed, he took the time to explain the test results to me. What a guy. Oh, and the place was clean and comfortable. read more

Had to go to the DMV to get my car registered for CA (I just moved here) and found out that I needed a smog test. I located this place on yelp and decided to stop by since it wans't far from the DMV. All of the reviews were true. It took the young man 15 min (or less) to do the test and get me on my way. Cost was $50 and the most difficult part was actually finding the entrance (it is in the middle of a strip of shops). When I have to get the smog renewal, I will be going back here for sure. read more

It was finally time to smog my Lamborghini Murcielago, and with my busy schedule I needed it done promptly. When looking for a smog station, I wanted to avoid being overcharged just because my car is a Lamborghini and not a Honda. After all, a smog is a smog. The work is the same. I stumbled upon Smog Zone, and Haik quoted me a lot cheaper than other places, even for my Lamborghini. He did a quick job, took care in his work, and was very informative. Overall, very pleased. Will go again. read more

Unfortunately I knew nothing of Smog Zone when I drove in. If I had, I would have been going to them for a long time. Haik impressed me immediately. He is pleasant and professional. He made every effort to get me through quickly even though he had three cars ahead of me. One hour later, my car was ready. The building is clean and bright, and unlike other smog stations I didn't feel weird being there. Smog Zone is now my only smog check station! read more

I always dread receiving the DMV renewal that says "Please take this notice to a SMOG check station"! So, naturally, I put off going to get my car tested until just a few days before my renewal is due... luckily these guys are super nice and super efficient. I was in and out of their shop in about 30 minutes, with no appointment, and with two people ahead of me when I first arrived! Would absolutely come back here the next time I need a smog test. read more

Had never been to Smog Zone before, but my first experience there was a great one! I was due for a Smog Check and Haik helped me immediately, took care of everything, processed my DMV registration renewal and gave me my sticker, and did all of it very safely (with a mask on and a plexiglass wall up at the payment desk). It was a smooth and easy process, and then I was on my way back home. Would definitely recommend, and will return again! read more

To customer who is looking for a SMOG test check that has Shop-DMV online submission, SmogZone is the place: I was here this morning, 10/19/19. Haik is straight forward, i showed my DMV notice and took my car right away. Website says open at 9am, i arrived 8:50am done at 8:59am and pass! To Haik: Keep this kind of service man, not like others with blah blah blah and say need to fix something only to make money. Thumbs up to you Haik! read more

This place was recommeded by a friend. A bit difficult to spot, just west of Hazeltine on Oxnard, but fairly priced and nice people you could understand. Even though I had no wait, they've got a waiting area that you can view your car as it is getting tested!! Important to keep an eye out and for asking questions. Fairly priced after checking around with other locations. I had no coupon, so $60.00 I'll go back for next year's check! read more

I've taken my cars to Ike on several occasions, and have always found them to be very honest and upfront. Several years ago I moved away from the Van Nuys area, but still make the 40 minute trek to them, as they are totally worth it. What sells me on them is I simply trust them. I recommend all of my friends and acquaintances to go to Ike and Smog Zone, as they are the best. They are also Star qualified, a huge plus. read more
