Official Test Only

John is awesome! He was friendly, efficient and took the time to explain what he was doing. I was there for maybe 20 minutes, paid the bill and was on my way. I used a coupon and saved $ 10. Woo hoo!

I’ve been using this place for years with the same young man helping me. I have always been satisfied. Today, it was a different guy named Vage. Not only is he super knowledgeable, but he was fast, efficient and truly helpful. I was able to get two family cars done at a very reasonable price in a short amount of time. He kept the place clean too. (When I got there, he was mopping the floor.) I was also glad that he was happy to answer my questions as this is a newer car to me and the test was different than with an older model car. Thanks, Vage, for the great customer service. I’ll send in all of my friends!

I found this place on Unilocal,I had stopped by the other smog station down the road I believe named N&J. The guy who runs this place was a complete asshole. So i went up the road to Gary got my car smogged and I will never goto another smog station again. Gary has smogged my car twice now and he is the best! He has earned a loyal customer! :)

Don’t come here! This guy is so rude! I tried to explain that my husband took my car in last week and it didn’t pass, and we took it to the shop and it should be ok now. He asked me for the fail paperwork and when I said I didn’t have it he yelled at me and said he would have to recharge me. I called my husband to get clarification and he rolled his eyes and walked away. I explained to him that he did not test it and the code reader said it wouldn’t pass so he didn’t charge him. Then he yelled at me again and said «you’re not making sense! You said it passed and I tested it then I didn’t test it!» I felt really uncomfortable as he took my keys and code read my car. I just left upset and will never come here again!

I’ve gone to this station several times in the last many years.
Yesterday as I dropped my car off at an adjoining shop my mom was waiting for me in her car. The employee from this smog check station told my mom to move her car that she couldn’t park there. She said she wasn’t parking, she’d move if anyone enters the driveway, she was watching and I’d be right out. He started moving around erratically yelling and calling my 78 year old mother a bit@h. Then when we went back later to pick up my car from the mechanic he started up again even though we weren’t within 30 feet of his mechanics bay. He was yelling and screaming and calling her names, called me a fag. This guys a clear danger to the public. He’s a menace to society. He should NOT be working with people in any capacity until he gets the help he needs. He actually approached my car in a threatening manor, I had to flash my pepper spray to get him to back off. I should have called the cops and had him arrested. Everyone in the complex was witness to the entire incident. Do NOT go there unless you want to be in danger. This guys absolutely crazy.
This post serves as a warning and notice. If anyone’s injured as a result of this nut job, contact me, I’ll be witness for the criminal and civil suite. Take note, the owner of the smog check station has now been put on VERY public notice, if someones harmed as a result of him continuing to employee this clearly disturbed individual with anger management problems, the OWNER of the smog check station can and should be held liable for any and all damages including pain and suffering and punitive damages because he KNOWINGLY employed an unstable individual.

NEVER AGAIN!
I’ve taken my car and my wife’s car here every time for the past 6 years. Even after I moved away from the city, I came here out of convenience and habit. The price has always been around $ 50. They’ve always been polite.
NOT THIS LAST TIME (and that’s all it takes)
The technician seemed busy, so I took it upon myself to begin filling out the paperwork, but before I could press pen to paper, the technician abruptly snatched the clipboard out of my hand and condescendingly commanded that I don’t know the price and should not have assumed I would like the price.
Shocked by his annoyed demeanor, I stood silently, not sure how to respond. He broke the silence by quoting me a price of $ 60, $ 10 more than I’ve ever paid.
When I told him that I felt as though he was screwing with me, he simply walked away.
All it takes is one bad experience. They’ve lost my business for good.
It’s of no consequence to the technician, as he has told me in the past that he gets paid hourly, but I hope the owner will be able to explain to the technician that word of mouth is sometimes the best advertisement and he has lost the owner business because of his negative attitude and condescending behavior.

12-​8-​2014 i went here today at 3:30 for my smog check, they were recommended by my mechanic in Northridge. The man was eating his lunch and completly ignored me when I went up to his space. I said excuse me are you Arman he said rudely NO and continued eating. So I went next door and asked for Arman and they didn’t know him, so I went back again and he completly ignored me once again. I said, I need a smog check and was recommended to this place. He said can’t you see I’m eating? I said is your lunch more important than a customer? He said «yes you fuckin whore» Then he proceeded to call me a fukin whore 3 or 4 more times as I called him on his language, I assumed he was either drunk or high. I am shocked this place has a five star review. So I went a few blocks east and found N&J STAR CERTIFIED and was treated with the respect a customer deserves. Sam, if you read this, you should dump this guy ASAP he“s bad for business

I decided to choose this shop after searching reviews at
.
YES! it’s right.
I’m really satisfied their service.
The guy (Gary) was very nice and did job professionally.
They have a wireless testing machine and it’s so cool.
I just needed to stay at my car. I’ll definitely visit again with my another vehicle someday.

Super friendly service and SUPER fast!
I went here with my boyfriend thinking we would have to drop my car off for a few hours, but everything was done in about 20 minutes!
The guy working there was also SUPER nice!

5 Star Smog Service, Honest and Friendly and Cost Friendly. Gentleman working there genuinely loves his customers and shop is Dog friendly. Just keep on leash and behind the rope. He’ll feature your fine furry friend on this page. How cool. Love this place! Highly Recommend!

Great customer service! Gary was awesome and very informative. We were in and out there very quickly. He even gave us advice for future smog checks. I will definitely be returning when needed and recommend this place to anyone. Thank you!

Went in to get my car smogged and the guy who helped me was very professional and polite. The place was clean and I didn’t have to wait too long. The guy that works there is very knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing.

Great customer service! The guy here is really nice and polite.
Got the job done fast, not too long of a wait. Only one person was in front of me.
Only $ 60. I think they’re star approved though I didn’t need it.
Even educated me on emission levels. Mine is a .01 and the max in CA is about .52.

Showed up at 2 on a Saturday. The man working there was very friendly. He worked quickly and I was home within the half-​hour. Regular cost of check is 60 dollars, however he did give me a discount for being a student. Location is a short drive from Cal State Northridge.
