Current price for…read morea smog check in April 2026 is $60 cash ($65 credit). - Saturday hours are great (8am-2pm) - Enter into the garage area from Greenwood St (not Walnut) - They do a few other services like oil changes The only other thing to highlight is that there is a small fee to retest if the car fails the smog check. You can share with them that you are not sure if the car will pass smog and they can try to do a few basic things to gauge right off the bat which we appreciated. Other places may do re-test for free if you do the initial smog check with them (but possibly higher in overall price) so keep that in mind.

There was no pressure, but the place is a chain so I think they will always put out the idea of an upsell, but that's how chains are. I didn't mind and didn't take everything, but I felt like the employees were also really helpful and straightforward. I was always a Jiffy Lube person, but now I am switching to this place.

From the moment we got there, I noticed how organized, happy, and how everyone worked well together. I was very impressed with additional services they offered. I got my window wipers changed, tire rotation and tire pressure. Thank you to Liam and Alex for your assistance and for leading such a great team. I also want to share something minor, as I was driving on the freeway my Tire Pressure Monitoring System alert turned on. I was able to go the Valvoline in West Covina- thank you Ulysses, Hector and Vanessa for your great customer service and checking my Tire pressure and resetting my TPMS. With all this being said, I highly recommend Valvoline team in Pasadena and West Covina. Thank you! See you next oil change!

My truck is on a 12-inch lift with 42-inch tires, which basically means it's less of a truck and more of a mobile observation tower. Small children look at it the way people look at monster trucks at a county fair. Most oil change places take one look at it and suddenly say things like "our lift is down" or "we don't service... aircraft carriers." Not these guys. They walked out, looked up at the truck like they were inspecting a skyscraper, nodded, and got to work like it was a completely normal Tuesday. One of the techs climbed up there like a Navy SEAL scaling a building. Next thing I know, oil change done, no drama, no weird upsells, and nobody needed a ladder from Home Depot. Truck runs great, still sits high enough to change the weather pattern in Glendale, and I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10. If your truck is ridiculously tall and slightly irresponsible like mine, these are your people.

Well I will never go back to Jiffy Lube!! As soon as I pulled up to Glendale Lube I was greeted by a gentleman to park and asked if I was there for an oil change and he said it would be about 15 min. Wait. He wasn't lying either. Two cars in front of me and they got them finished in 15 min. They called me to pull my van up and Maria was so kind and said they'd get everything done in 15 min. I couldn't believe how fast they were. So professional and kind. I was even able to bring my own oil and filter and they just did the work. The charge was way less than I'm used to. So I will definitely be back and I will tell everyone to come here to get their oil changed.

I took my…read morecar to him at closing time on a Saturday afternoon to ask a quick question about my '01 Jetta's electrical. Not only did he address every concern I had, he also stayed after closing to diagnose the problem for free. He took out some tools and electrical meters to assess the issue. He made a few adjustments that stopped the electrical from glitching, explained to me in plain English what was happening and said to drive it for a few days to see if everything was ok. This was the second time I had taken my car to Del Mar Auto. What makes this place unique, is that Hutch takes the time to seek many solutions, and will try them all and charge a fair price. He's a straight shooter that I trust. I highly recommend him and his team for your auto service needs. He has earned a loyal customer in me :)

I noticed I had a headlight out when I left my apartment. I decided to drop by Del Mar Auto before I went home. I pulled up and was greeted as I got out of my car. I explained the situation to Hutch.

I paid my bill and made an appointment for other problems I noticed with my car. It's nice to go to someone that cares about your safety with the quality work that they do at Del Mar Auto. Honesty is not always found when dealing with mechanical issues. Easy to notice on the corner of Del Mar Boulevard and Allen Avenue. I think they care about my car as much as I do. I always try to make an appointment to save time.
