Haik is the best! He's super nice and takes care of you in no time at all! If a smog test here wasn't cheap enough already, he offers a discount with a check in here on Yelp! If you want friendly, fast, and inexpensive service that's good, check this place out!!! - - - - - It's that time of year again and because of the great service this shop provides, I have returned again to the quick, friendly and excellent service I had previous mentioned. Thanks again Smog Zone - - - - - I keep coming back annually to Haik and the Smog Zone because of his consistent kindness and efficiency! My most recent visit was to smog a new car and it was taken care of faster than before! Haik's commitment to quality customer service is evident in the way he works and the way he kindly interacts with his customers. Smog Zone has been the only place I've gone to smog my car for many a good reason! read more

Called ahead and went in for a smog check soon after. Very quick and friendly service! I know it's a difficult time, but I just wish they were wearing a mask and using gloves, especially when being inside the car. They did have plexiglass separating them from the customer when paying. ----------- Update: I was away from my phone, but the technician called me and left a message. He was very friendly again and explained that he uses sanitizing wipes inside the car and washes his hands before each customer. I appreciate him being proactive and doing the best he can! read more

Haik was quick and helpful with my SMOG check and I was in and out in 15 minutes! Will be back next time! read more

Super fast service. I appreciate you getting my smog check done as well as registration in as little time as you did. Thank you again.

Great service! My sister recommended Smog Zone to me. They were awesome. Will definitely be coming back for the next smog.

Quick and easy. Took less than 15 min to get our car smog test certified. Just call in advance and the owner will give you a heads up if you need to schedule or just show up on first come, first serve. read more

Great prices! Super fast and efficient service but really nice guys. Totally recommend them.

The moment I went into the shop I was greeted with a smile and they were ready to serve. They immediately took my car and started placing it on the smog testing machine. Awesome costumer service with competitive prices. The best thing is that they are so close to my work. I will be being bring in my wife's car in as well. read more

Haik the owner is awesome! Very personable. Very clean and well maintained shop. I was in and out in no time. Maybe DMV should take a lesson from this shop about efficiency. read more

I tried this place today for the first time, because it has a excellent review on yelp, and it didn't disappoint me. Jack is super helpful and the whole process didn't take long at all, even there are few cars line up before me. Haik, the inspector is very professional and nice too. They took off the $15 discount for the total amount, and it took $45 for the smog check. I also have my registration sticker replaced on site immediately because they are DMV certificated. An extra $35 is charged for this request. Great service and good price. Will come back again. read more

You can now smog your car AND get your DMV registration & tags!!! Hell yeah!!! They are now an official registration renewal center! I hate waiting in lines and thinking that is have to go to AAA to get my registration and new tags but Smog Zone hooked it up! Now you can spare the DMV or AAA trip for your tags. This is a huge step for Angelinos cause it's bad enough with all the traffic. At least it's one less line to wait in! read more

Got there at about 8:30 today, no wait. The test took about 15-20 minutes or so. I did check-in hoping to save $15 with the yelp offer but still ended up paying $55. The guy did write the yelp deal on the paper, but did he forget to apply it? I mean $15 isn't much it could've used towards something else, like say my registration... Overall quick service just wish the guy helping was a little more aware. read more

Excellent friendly service. Short wait and directly serviced by the Owner who said he's been there for over 20years. If you're wondering which of the many Smog stations to go to, look no further! read more

Poorly operated business. Haik the owner is dishonest and can't be trusted for nothing. Don't let the 5 star reviews fool you. Let me tell you the story. So I came in to smog a 2002 PT Cruiser. Came in last week and they told us due to a check engine light on the car wouldn't pass (they told us before the test so we wouldn't fail and have to pay and retest) which is what any honest and professional business would do. So fast forward to today and I went back in with the check engine light off. First off the main guy Haik left and put this other guy in charge to do the test while he was gone for a half hour. The guy looks under the hood for about 10 minutes with nothing hooked up to a computer (looked strange but I figured he was looking for a problem that would interfere with the smog test like the check engine light problem from before) and he then goes to test like there was no issue. Wait like 10 more minutes and then he comes back with a smirk on his face and says you failed! He proceeded to show and tell us that we failed because of a tube that need replacement that he should have easily seen because when we failed he went straight to it. He knew before the test that it was like that obviously because he had spent 10 minutes under the hood preinspecting the car with a flash light! Then when we failed he went straight to it (The damaged tube was in plain sight and they could have easily told us before because they knew about it) Lol come on! He knew and didn't tell us on purpose so they could charge us a retest. I bought this up to the owners (Haik) attention and he said it's not how it works and he can't make money otherwise!? All the while Haik was backing up his guy even though he was gone the whole time. Not a professionally ran business. Update after response from Haik. Which is all deflection and lies by the way. Completely unprofessional. Stands by his poor performance and behavior. Shocking! First off your service was garbage and I never got anything for free and I paid for the so called "smog test" you did! Also I never asked you or anyone to pass the car on a smog test at anytime with knowledge that there was a wire that needed replacement that's a complete lie and a deflection. Nice try but no. Secondly your guy had nothing hooked up to the car while he was under the hood. Another lie. You weren't even there to know what happened Haik! You were gone the whole time! Third and not least. The guy instantly knew why we failed the test instantly and pointed to the wire with a smirk on his face knowing that he could have said it before he hooked it up to the computer but he didn't. How dishonest!? It was in plain sight! He didn't know that it was an issue after looking under the hood for 10 minutes with a flashlight but after the test fails magically knows that the wire was the reason? Really? He knew the whole time and just wanted me to fail and have to repay for the retest. Haik was even complaining on how he makes no money unless he retests!? It's your business why are you putting your money problems on me!? By the way you deserve this review 100 percent. You were completely unprofessional. read more

Smog Zone - Lol this is their attitude!? This was on the desk!? - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This one star has nothing to do with their service, which I'm sure is generally excellent, and everything to do with the blatant disregard for covid safety protocols. When I went to get re-checked for smog certification, I was in my car thinking I was waiting for them to finish whatever work they were currently doing. The guy who previously did my test walked right up, mask off, on the phone, and started checking my monitors right next to me. I hopped over to the passenger side and got out. When he was off the phone and done checking, I told him to please not get in my car and next to me again without a mask. Rather than apologizing, he defended himself by saying he was on the phone. Don't know if you need to take off your mask to use the phone. But even he did, nobody was forcing him to get right next to me in my car and check things while he was on a call. Do them separately. Everyone has different opinions when it comes to the guidelines, but if you're running a business I think it's inexcusable not to follow them. And it's pretty simple. Really pissed me off. read more

Went in today to get my star smog done and couldn't have picked a better spot. Was greeted upon arrival and although I had to wait for a few cars ahead of me, the wait wasn't too bad and once my turn came I was in and out within minutes! Thank you Haik for your great service! read more
