Very easy to find bc of the flags. Alfred was very friendly, worked fast, was polite. Gave me a chair to sit in the shade and accepted my yelp discount. He explained it would take fifteen minutes. I'm and out and ready to go. Highly recommend.

Went at 3pm on a Thursday. No line. Got right in. Waiting area was clean. Alfred was quick and efficient. In and out in about 15 min total. $48 total with the coupon. Would have been 5 stars, but wasn't informed there was a $3 credit card processing fee, which is almost 7%.

Incredible service from Alfred! Called same day and was able to get in immediately. No issues and done without hassle. Easy access from Brand Blvd. Friendly and fair!

Alfred was great. And the service was fast and the price was reasonable. I Highly recommend getting your smog test here!

I contacted BRAND Smog Check Center via Yelp to get a bid for my vehicle smog check. I received a quick response and headed over. Suddenly the price was $20 more than quoted. I was quoted $29.75 and when I got there it was $49.75.

Alfred is a cool guy! He greeted us warmly and gave us a great deal. Will definitely be coming back here for my next smog.

Alfred is star certified and awesome! Quick and helpful service. 5/5 stars, highly recommend!

My 2004 Altima getting A+ service from Alfred.

Fast, friendly service here at Brand Smog Check Star Certified Center. Alfred is very attentive and makes sure you get in and out very quickly. This is my second time here and both times I left very satisfied. They also have a Yelp discount coupon. Good service and a good price.

I went in around 11:00 AM on a Saturday. There were two cars ahead of me. The gentleman that assisted me quoted a 30 min wait, which ended up being more like 20. Fast, efficient service with a fair amount of parking. Will return.

The one thing I care about most is good customer service. This shop is located in a cluster of very busy auto shops. But still, he got me in and out quickly and for competitive price. My experience was that there is a nice person who provides a needed service, does it efficiently and provides good customer service. You can't ask for more than that. read more

Fast service, great people; I go there every two years for my SMOG check. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area needing a Smog Check. (Per someone's negative review here- please note the $25 coupon cannot be used for the 5-star SMOG check-but if you mention it, they may still give you the discount.)

Price: $20 off with Yelp check in $30 + $8.25 certification + $7 electronic transfer fee. Cute little seating area with leather couches and a heater (it was cold). Cards accepted. read more

Such a deceitful business lying to customers and laughing to their faces. Over the phone, the guy said $60 cash or $63 credit card. On their website, it shows a coupon of $25 off and I mentioned if that can be applied to the $60 I would pay for a smog check. He said it will be, therefore, I drove there to have my car's smog checked. Once I arrived there, I mentioned again if the final price would be $35 with the added coupon but he said that it will be $60 because the original price is $85. Piece of shit lied to me over the phone and I had to drive all the way there wasting my time and gas. Which business has smog checks at $85?! Such a shady business. He laughed at me as I said I will be taking my business elsewhere. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

This place is a scam! I picked it on a whim since it has decent reviews but I don't know why, guy charged me up to 100$ for a smog check when down the street they're charging 50! At the time I thought it might be inflation but no, to this day in 2023 everywhere else is still charging 50$. It's a ripoff and a scam, guy should be ashamed of himself.

I was a walk in just before 9AM today. The person running the shop was very nice. They let me know what they were doing and what things were being tested for my smog check. The shop worker made sure to give me a copy of my test as well as a results page. I was given a $25 off discount from mentioning the Yelp ad on the page. That was awesome. I think, otherwise, the smog check would have been around $70. As well as taking a general look over my car the worker also informed me of some gasket valve cover leaks. He got me a repair quote right away and I was able to take my car in immediately if I were available. Super awesome service here. I'll have to remember this place in 2 years when I have to come back for my next smog. read more

I wish I had the same experience as the people who gave 5 star reviews. First, the positive, on Saturday morning, I was the only one there so there was no wait. Now the negatives, when I pulled up, I asked Alfred how much it was going to be for a STAR certified smog check. I just wanted an upfront answer so I can decide if it's too much. He joked around and said he would take care of me and directed me to park. I then asked him again how much it was going to be and he said 69.95, which I responded I have the Yelp $20 off coupon. Then he said, yes 69.95 with the coupon plus state fees because regular price is 89.95...wait a minute, did you not just say the price was 69.95. It suddenly jumped to 89.95 when I mentioned the coupon? Based on recent Yelp reviews, I was thinking it would be around $50 plus the state fees so that was upsetting. Especially since if he had confirmed that price earlier, I wouldn't have bothered parking. As I had already driven some time to get there, I decided to suck it up and get it done but I was upset at the price gouge. So, I looked for the prices in the shop. Lo and behold, it says 69.95 plus 8.25 for state certification. If there were any other fees like some transfer fee, they should list it on their price list so it's transparent. Instead when I go to pay, the bill said $68. Now how the heck did we get to this number I ask? And finally, he was like I can do it for $60. All I wanted was a clear price from the beginning. I don't want to complain or negotiate. Please just list your prices so people can choose to pay the amount that you are asking for and not waste anyone's time. I get it's COVID and times might be hard, so just list the higher price if you need to charge more so people can decide whether it's what they can afford. read more

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.

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.

He refused to cover the $100 cost quoted by a local muffler shop to weld an extension onto the plug so it could be removed. The conversation ended with Ciro saying, "We are done, have a nice day." Very disappointing experience and poor customer service. UPDATE: I need to clarify several inaccuracies in the owner's response. I brought my vehicle to this shop for an oil change. During that visit, an employee attempted to remove the drain plug and informed me it had been damaged. I asked whether it could be repaired without making the issue worse, and I was told another shop could fix it and that customers are regularly referred there for this same issue. That referral came directly from the employee, not from me. The drain plug damage occurred while my vehicle was in this shop's care. Although the owner states that no service was completed during that visit, this was not my first oil change here. The damage occurred during a prior service performed by this business. As a customer, I should not be expected to inspect the underside of my vehicle after routine maintenance, nor would I fabricate this situation. This is why I requested accountability. Regarding the oil change interval, I was transparent about my driving circumstances and explained that I had added oil as needed until I could bring the vehicle in. This does not justify damage to the oil pan or remove responsibility for damage caused during service. The cost to resolve the issue was $100. My request was simply for the business to take responsibility for damage that occurred in their shop. Unfortunately, the conversation ended with a refusal to do so. I stand by my experience and my review.

He has done a couple of major repairs for us, and most recently he bent over backwards to get my van fixed when I ran into sudden engine trouble while driving my kids home from school. He even personally drove us home and then back to the shop again to save us the cost and hassle of an Uber -- both times in 107-degree heat. We'll be referring all of our friends!! Thank you, Edvin!

I highly recommend the awesome Glendale Smog Check Center. The service is excellent, and Alen is a great guy to deal with. I take my car and my girlfriend's car here every time we need a smog check, and I'm always happy with the service, great communication, and treatment. They also offer DMV services which allowed me to not only do my smog check but get my 2012 registration tags here as well, no waiting in long DMV lin4s or waiting for your tags to arrive in the mail. I don't write too many reviews, but had to write one here, as this is the best place to go for these services in Glendale, bar none! read more

Having been to many shops, this place blows each and every one of them out of the water! How refreshing it was to come across the Glendale Smog Center! The places I've been to could not even diagnose what the problem with my car was. Alen was able to tell me right away and was correct! He is a professional of the highest caliber, very knowledgeable! This place will not rip you off ! Highly and highly recommend this place to all!!! P.S. Signed up just to leave this feedback. read more

I saw all the great reviews on Yelp and decided to get my smog check here. The guy working there was very friendly and seemed like he actually enjoyed working there. The waiting room is comfortable and inside which was nice. After doing the smog check, he also checked my tire pressure. I plan on coming for smog checks here as long as I live in Glendale! read more

Came in for a smog check and only had to wait 5 minutes to start the process. I showed Alfred my online coupon and he assured me he would give me the $20 off. He is nice and pleasant and patient. Altogether we didn't even have to wait 30 mins. read more
