Got me in and out in under an hour with a passed smog test for my old Mercedes. Every time I get that note in the mail I am afraid she won't pass, but somehow I made it! Cheaper than the other two places I called, so why not? read more

Great place Quick service, lower price then a lot of other places best place around I go to this place every two years read more

Needed a smog check and this place was close to the DMV and open and fast! Also, the guy is like the nicest person on the planet. He was super sweet to the couple before me. He was super nice to me. And when he saw a homeless guy walk buy, he ran to the fridge, put a few items in a bag and ran after the guy to offer him some food. I didn't know people like this existed anymore. read more

Found them on Yelp and it was close to home. Got there and was greeted by a very nice man by the name of Robert. He was kind , polite and efficient. I was literally in and out in like 10 mins. I also took our other car that needed a smog and he was just as kind, polite and efficient as the first time. I love to help our locals, especially when they appreciate the business. read more

Perfectly quick and great transaction. In and out within 15 minutes. Courteous, polite, knowledgeable, and great quick service.

Great, friendly and fast service. Affordable price. Will be my go to for now on and highly recommended.

I drive all the way from Glendale to get my smog test done here. Robert is very knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. Don't go anywhere else! read more

I've taken my car to get a smog check at this place 3 times over the years and have always dealt with friendly staff during that process. I've also purchased propane as well as regular car gas so I've used just about every service they have to offer, including buying snacks in their mini mart! Arco always has competitive prices and this one is definitely a busy location because it's one of the last gas stations on Reseda as you head north to the 118 Freeway. Being that CSUN is just down the street and Reseda being a major thoroughfare for CSUN students who commute, this Arco is ALWAYS busy during normal daytime hours and even on into the night so be prepared to wait a few mins to get your turn! read more

fast and great service! highly recommend to anyone in the area that needs a smog test!

I was dreading getting my old truck smog checked. I was really not looking forward to it. I called ahead to check the wait and he gave me a 15 min quote to come in and receive immediate service. Once I got there, the gentleman who performed the check was so sweet, efficient, and professional. Such a painless experience. Great place. read more

Came back again for my 2002 Ford Escape and my 2010 Prius. Robert here excellent service and price. He can do Star and regular smog check don't go anywhere else. Believe me. Excellent 5- 12- 18. read more

Fast, efficient, local. They were right there when I needed them, friendly and courteous, and the place was clean. And my car passed, of course. read more

Came her for a smog check. Very friendly and professional service. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes-no appointment needed. Highly recommend for your next smog check! Will definitely come back next time. read more

Nothing exciting! How can you review a place like this poorly when all you are getting is a quick smog check. The location is not the greatest. The man that was working there was friendly. Price was reasonable than most. We had a coupon so we saved some! read more

Friendly and fast service! We always come home to let our car be checked out and do the smog test required by the DMV! He explained what is needed and gave us very good advices! Very affordable and great service! read more

This is the Second time I have shown up (@530) the door was locked and there was no sign off the attendant. I called the 24 hour number but it went to voice mail so myself and the three other cars after waiting a while left. What ever happened to putting a sign that said be back in 5 minutes? Are we supposed to wait all day at the door and wait for the attendant to come around and get us out of the heat? I wouldn't care but I have to go inside to swipe my ATM to fuel up at ARCO. If you're looking for a dependable and CHEAP gas station that is never closed in the middle of the day go to the ARCO on BALBOA & PARTHENIA next to BOFA ... skip this one !!! read more

This smog check place does a fine job. Sometimes they get busy, but I can ususally just drive over and get it done as a walk in. Price is slightly below average. As far as I remember they did not charge extra for pickups vs cars. read more

Courteous and efficient! A good experience as compared to others that seem to not appreciate one's business.

Got my car done here Excellent work totally satisfied Thanks to Robert really good person read more

Great smog shop in Northridge! Robert was incredibly friendly and lovely to deal with...was in & out in less than 15 minutes! Parking lot is a tight squeeze since it shares the space with the Arco gas station at the busy corner of Devonshire & Reseda (which gets lines of cars waiting for the pumps) but he was nice enough to help me back out & I was on my way. Convenient location, fair price & good customer service! read more

This is my 2nd time bringing my cars for smog check here. Great customer service. The gentleman is very friendly and professional. The smog check was done quickly. read more

It's a pretty average gas station. I haven't encountered many issues with this station. The prices are usually fairly lower compared to other Arcos in the area. May not be the cheapest at times but certainly a more fair deal. read more

Came here last minute because the other place I opted for was closed...mid-day, during the week no less :( Anyhow, service was EXCELLENT and the pricing was reasonable; was in and out of there in about half an hour and on my way to AAA to get my tags. YAY! :) read more

Robert was quick(less than 15 minutes), knowledgeable, and friendly. The place is also open until 7 pm, STAR certified, and you don't need an appointment! Highly recommended. Robert even gave advice on anything he noticed on the car separate from the smog, something the Honda specific dealer missed less than 500 miles ago on my car. read more

Very nice smog shop and very great service. Job was performed quick and professionally

Asked how much it was before the smog check. The attendant stated that it was $49.95. He failed to mention that here was an additional fee of about $10. read more

Very friendly owner. Cheapest price around and I called MULTIPLE places. Only took 12 minutes from when I got there, to finish. No line when I went at 11am on a Wednesday. read more

I have had my Jeep smog done here one time but I would do it again without hesitation. Everyone was very professional and friendly. My Jeep is not stock and other shops gave me a hard time or flat out would not smog it. These guys took maybe 15 minutes which is good time for a smog. I would recommend others to go here. read more

Came in here a couple times before, and they always were friendly and courteous in their services. A gentleman named Benjamin (might have spelled that wrong) was even kind enough to treat me to some coffee while waiting in line one morning. Got the smog check done and registration all paid for right there, very convenient! read more
