My trusty 1995 Saturn needed a STAR certified smog check again, but my previous places were a…read morenon-starter: one's pre-2000 machine was a bust and the place prior cost a small fortune. Enter the proverbial quest of searching online reviews for local, quality places. After a few busts calling other joints (straight to voicemail, "our machine is also broken," etc.), I came across In & Out Smog here on Yelp. The place picks up right away. Super friendly and clear on the phone and it's clear they're the spot for me to go. It's two hours before closing, but they're good to take me right away too. I swing by and I'm third in line, but it feels like I'm first. They're on the ball here, pointing out where to idle and asking me to keep the engine running. Another customer waiting tells there me she loves this place, even though she worries her older car too won't pass. (Spoiler alert: it passed.) While waiting in one of their comfy chairs in the shade, I could see the two guys working here know their stuff. One of them swings by with the quote - it's like HALF the price of the place I used to go to, even without a coupon. (Pro tip: no coupons anywhere usually for pre-2000 cars.) Well, that's cool. Another thing to point out: they've got this unique scenic painting of a mountain scape on the wall, almost facing Burbank's Verdugo Mountains just outside in the distance. In a world of so many places looking the same, it's things like that that can stand out beyond the work itself. So, they're doing their thorough tests and it's looking good. I hear my tried-and-true old car passed the test. (Side note: Bobby at Olive Auto Center just down the block has single handedly given extra life to my car with his incredible repairs.) But that's not the end of it at In & Out Smog. The guy offers some tips he noticed for other little improvements, like my gas cap could use a swap and some other things like that. Nice to go the extra mile there. Feels like they care a little more than just on to the next one. Bonus points: he also went through the numbers with me for how I scored, just for the fun of it without asking for the breakdown. What a cool little spot. Highly recommended!

I have been going to them for the last two years and they have helped me with both of my cars that I have had and always remember me whenever I come in. During the oil changes the guys will check and see when you need to get your spark plugs or your brakes changed or even tires rotated and will inform you about it and they suggest multiple locations for you to go get those done and are honest with you with the prices if they're able to do it themselves besides getting oil changes done with these guys I have also gotten my spark plugs changed my transmission fluid changed and just simple check ups on my car with them. I am about to move into the inland Empire area and if I come to visit in Burbank, I will for sure come to get my car oil change with them.
