Arcadia Test Only Center

Went here to get a truck smogged that I had just bought. There was no wait and he got started right away. He was very fast and professional. My truck passed smog no problem and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes and it cost less that $ 60. Would definitely recommend to others.

Very dishonest!
I found a coupon on
to do a smog check at this place for $ 29.75. The guy drove my car in, opened the hood, typed something in his computer and came out to ask me to fill out the paperwork 10 minutes later. I showed him my coupon and he said, «you can’t get a free retest if you use the coupon». I thought that was not a big deal so I went with it. He asked me to go in 5 minutes later and told me my car didn’t pass because the «check engine» light was on and proceeded to charge me $ 29.75, in cash.
I was oblivious to the fact that the check engine light (it was for a malfunctioning sensor) would cause a problem but he did! Why couldn’t he tell me before I used my «no free retest coupon»!!!
This is my last time giving this dishonest place any of my business!

I arrived here at about 10 am and was outta there around 10:15. $ 59 bucks out the door when paying with plastic. Coupon is for cash only.

Now is a 76 Station. Prices seem to be the same but since I moved I really don’t come here very often. Still Have smog test only station here and that’s good. Use Unilocal,pay cash and get $ 20 off. Remember to tell them before you get it serviced. Enjoy

Great Job again.
Very short lines, first thing, Sat ahd Sunday morniings. The shop was even open a bit early this Sunday.
They are so fast it is barely enough time to go across the street to Burger Shack for breakfast. (great palce for breakfast too)

Only took 15 minutes and I received a $ 20 discount when I paid in cash with Unilocal check in offer that I got just for checking in. Cool! Shaded waiting area was great on a hot day. Rhe technition was helpful and remined me rhat I could renew with the DMV online.

Guy is rude. I showed him my check-​in offer for $ 20 off before the service begin. He looked irritated & told me that’s only if I pay in cash. Seems like he makes the rules on who gets the discount or not. There was no fine print or restrictions on the offer itself. I don’t recommend this place.

Came in on a Sunday @ 11:00am — two cars ahead of me. My car got seen at 11:21am. Guy seemed bored or tired. No appointments here — first come first serve so I would suggest getting here when they open. But the guy is super fast and I got out (car passed!) at 11:37am! Yay!

Don’t go to this place!!! He charges way more money then most places! Pep boys is half the price! He wouldn’t even honor the check in coupon on Unilocal.This guy is terrible! DO NOT GO HERE!!!

This place has excellent service. The guy doing the smog check was very friendly and knew what he was talking about. They were quick with getting the job done and giving me all the paperwork I needed. They treated my car with care and even checked all my fluids the make sure everything was ok. Ask for Adrian, he was great with my car.

I have had my test done here 3 times. Today I came with my $ 20 off from Unilocal.The guy told me 1. I had to pay cash $ 50 2. If I don’t pass I don’t get a free test. Really? I come here all the time for gas and it is the only place I have ever gone for a smog test. Also there is nothing posted about all the terms of using a coupon. If I wasn’t on my iPhone I would give this place 1 star for customer service grrrr

This business is at a Chevron Station. So I expected it to be a Chevron Smog Test Facility right? WRONG! I wanted to be able to use my Chevron card so I could keep my business all on my chevron card like I always do when I am using my business car. I believe this is kind of a bait and switch. If your using a Chevron Station? You should except Chevron Cards.

Showed my Unilocal check in and got my discount no problem.
I brought in my suv and the regular price is about $ 69. So I paid $ 50. Took only about 20 mins.
They have a table and chairs outside. So come on a nice day and bring a book or something to do.

Great. Total smog cost $ 40 with certificate. This is a great price.

They charged me $ 10 bucks more than the coupon.

They didn’t accept a competitor’s coupon as stated on their coupon. After my smog check was finished I asked if I could check-​in on Unilocal to receive $ 20 off, serviceman said I had to checkin before the service was rendered. #Firstworldproblems but just letting you guys know.
Other than all that jibber-​jabber, service was good and I passed.

BAIT AND SWITCH. They refused to honor coupon printed out from their own website AFTER service had been rendered and threatened to hold my car hostage while I argued. Not only will I never go here again, I will stop by to gloat the day this dishonest place shutters its doors for good.

I had to get my ’97 Acura Integra tested at a Smog-​Only test center. I found a coupon on ‘smogtips​.com’ for the ‘Arcadia Test Only Center #2′ so I decided to give them a try.
The coupon said the price for the smog check was $ 29.75 — the coupon further states that the smog check does not include $ 8.25 State Certificate and an unspecified ‘ETF’ fee.
I called before I took my car there and found that the regular price for a Smog Test for my car including all fees is about $ 55 so $ 29.75 plus a few fees seemed like a reasonable discount. With fees included I estimated it would cost me about $ 40.
Once I arrived at the test center the technician informed me that IF YOU USE A COUPON, YOU DO NOT GET A FREE RE-​TEST IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS. Their normal policy is to allow a FREE retest within 10 days.
NOTE: NOWHERE ON THE
COUPON IS THIS LIMITATION MENTIONED.
I decided to use the coupon and forfeit my right to a free retest if it failed. There was one car in the bay that was already being tested, so I had to wait. They have a patio table (with shade umbrella) and 3 fold-​out chairs in the parking lot as their designated waiting area. They also have a little quickie-​mart that is part of the gas station where the test center is located. I decided to leave the keys with the technician and take a walk instead of waiting there.
There is a Teriyaki stand and a burger joint just across the street from their location, so you have a few options if you want to get a bite to eat while you wait. There is also a pharmacy just up the street if you need some Alka-​Seltzer after eating.
When I returned 30 minutes later he had completed the testing. My car passed (thank goodness!) The total cost was $ 39.75.
Note: That unspecified ETF fee (Electronic Transfer Fee) I mentioned earlier was $ 1.75
