Express Smog Test Only - Very clean and friendly atmosphere - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Pasadena, California

I don't think we've ever had a smog test done this quickly... in and out in 5 minutes and passed with flying colors. $41 for the test; pretty reasonable in my book. Of course, we came at the end of the day when Vick (the owner) was getting ready to close up, but he was nice and took us in. Also gave us some good tips on where to find nearby supermarkets with DMV kiosks to get our registration sticker. The only thing that kinda bugged me was that Vick wasn't wearing his mask even when talking to us, but luckily we stepped back far enough and there was plenty of ventilation around the place since it's practically all outdoors. read more

Vick lived up to my expectations from other 5 star reviews. He's polite, professional, friendly & knowledgeable. I drove by for years & was ignorant of his business. If it wasn't for Yelp,I would have missed out again. He was only one of the 4 business of the first ten that actually had a working smog computer for my 1989 Toyota! Of the first ten Star rated smog checks listed! He was also tied for the least expensive & offered a free retest. Unfortunately, My car did not pass. Vick was extremely candid & took the time to explain my problem in detail. read more

Wow glad I read reviews on how awesome Vick was. I had called someone else for a quote and the dude was rude and was gonna overcharge. Nope. So I called Vick so polite, told me everything I needed to know, so I said, see u in a minute. I did tell him how his phone customer service really mattered and that was so appreciated . There is no need for me to look for another Smog place. That's how u get loyal customers. Thank you read more

Great shop! This is my second time coming to this smog place after a couple of years and i got to say Vick is very profession and got me outta here very quickly. would definitely recommend coming here for your smogs! Also shout out to Vick for getting me in today, came a little close to closing time but he got me right ! read more

I come here every time I need a smog check! Fast and friendly and STAR Certified. Do not waist time anywhere else. NO CHECKS! read more

This is the best place to go for all smog tests. Vick is so nice. Excellent price. Job was done quickly and efficiently. Easy to get to. I will definitely bring my other car here. read more

Fastest smog test ever! In and out (with my two daughters-infant and toddler) under 10 minutes. Fair price and electronic submission to DMV. No hassle! Vick worked like a machine yet was still friendly and got the job done. No games or gimmicks or trying to sell you on other services. Straight forward and to the point. Much appreciated his professionalism and consideration that I had my girls with me and it was hot and so we needed to get it done ASAP. Honestly, wouldn't go anywhere else if I could help it in the future. read more

Thank YOU!!! I was worried my car might not pass due to some work having to be done 2 years ago to get it to pass then. It passed, and it was extremely easy and he explained everything to me. Will recommend to anyone in Pasadena. Thanks! read more

This is the only Smog Test I've had out of a dozen in California where the dude was actually happy to do the test instead of amazingly inconvenienced. Thank you, Express. read more

I needed a star certified smog check for vehicle registration renewal and just yelped whatever was close by. Came here in a Saturday afternoon and Vick helped me out. He was so friendly, quick and efficient. He even recommended some places I could renew my registration at a kiosk so I didn't have to wait for my new stickers! Great and quick customer service, would recommend to others. read more

I am satisfied his service. It was fast, clear explanation, step by step process, no waiting at all, fair price, I am highly recommend. Thanks! read more

I have been going to Victor at express smog test only for many years now. He has always been courteous and attentive to my vehicles smog needs. I definitely recommend him to my family and friends. read more

It is nice when someone goes out of their way to help...the owner gave me tips on how to get my registration quickly, which he did not have to do. He was also very fast and efficient. Highly recommended. read more

This place is great! He does the check really fast and efficiently. The only negative is he was 8 minutes late to open the place and I was in a hurry. read more

Owner is so knowledgeable. Very friendly and gets you in and out quickly. He also has advice on who to get your stickers ASAP. This is my GO-TO place for smog checks! read more

Fast, reliable and courteous. I am never here more than 30 minutes. Hard to go wrong with this guy.

Wow! This place is fast! Fast!!! Fast!! And very efficient. Vick literally runs around his shop getting everything done so quickly. I was out in less than 20 minutes. The price is very reasonable. Very standard compared to other smog places not the dealership. Very straightforward, I had no issues. I'd come back. read more

Found Express Smog Test Only via Yelp, and I'm glad I did! Called to see if they were open, and Vick was able to fit me in at the very end of his day! I was in and out in 10 minutes. Very knowledgeable and friendly to work with. Next time I need a Smog Test, I know where to go. He even had tips for me to get my tags in-person via a DMV kiosk. read more

I found this spot with the help of Yelp users and decided to stop by since I was in the area getting my tires serviced. For the past 8 years I have been going to a test station in Eagle Rock, but I am sooooooo glad I found Vick. He is super friendly, super honest, super thorough, and lightning fast without compromising accuracy. The bonus, he charges almost half of what I have been paying at the other spot. I have now found my new smog test spot as I need to smog two cars with alternate years meaning I will need to do this every year. read more

Got my smog check done there this week and it was very smooth. It was my first time using this place. Vick was fast and efficient and explained everything. The place I usually go to increased their price considerably, so I decided to check around. I had called several places and this was the lowest by far and was very reasonable. read more

Very friendly shop here. I brought in my Subaru Forester in three times for smog testing over the past year and a half and they have been friendly and professional on all occasions. Thanks! read more

Extremely conveniently located. The service is fast reliable and professional. I recently got my car smogged here and I highly recommend them. Thank you for being not only the best priced, but also the cleanest and best service. read more

Great staff and service.Quick and very efficient. Very polite and a clean waiting room.

Vick is awesome. Fast and efficient. Smog check done in 10 min, and only $39.95! This is my 2nd year in a row coming here, and I'll keep coming back! Thanks, Vick! read more

Very good, fast service. Was in and out in 15 minutes. Friendly and helpful customer service, with very reasonable prices that are clearly stated before any work is done. Will definitely come here next time. read more

Vick is THE BEST!!!! Definitely dont hesitate to come here. He was immediately sweet and professional on the phone. He made me feel assured I would get a quality job done for a really good price. I didnt bother looking elsewhere because I could tell how helpful he was over the phone. Once I got there, he greeted me immediately and remembered that I had called and assured me he would be done in ten minutes (and he was!). I was delighted to get such friendly, quick service. He seems dedicated to his job and dedicated to exceptional customer service. Thank you Vick and Express Smog Test!!! You are amazing! read more

There is not much more I can add to the previous reviews, except to say that Vick is professional, courteous, speedy, competitive in pricing, and a pleasure to do business with. I have been to Express Smog twice, once with a friend, and a second time with my own car, and both times the whole process didn't take more than ten minutes! Kind of hidden behind the Valero gas station, but well worth checking out- Express Smog is simply the best read more

Hands down best experience ever. Walk in and out in less than 15 minutes if even that. $45. Thank you Vick. Excellent service.

If you want an excellent job done, go see Vick. He was extremely cordial and professional. He explained all the steps and actions to take to get my registration done (even though It's provided on my DMV form), but best of all, he only took 15mins and charged me 50 bucks!!!! The price may vary based on vehicle size. I definitely will be going back to see him the next time the state decides to loot my wallet. And boy, do I love being called "Sir." Keep up the great customer service! read more

I have used this smog test center twice now, and I will continue to return. Vick is very professional, honest, and gets the job done quickly. They used to offer coupons on the back of Vons reciepts, but even without, it sets you back about $50, which I figure is average. For an extra 25 bucks, Vick can do all of your DMV processing as well, and you can get your sticker on the spot. Good for people who are trying to get their registration in under the wire. very recommended. read more

Smoooooooth. If u are like me and are fed up with Run-Arounds then the extra $10 for a simple smog check here is WELL WORTH IT!! Went to the place down the street from me--"Machines broken" then another shop on Altadena Dr.--"Let me call the guy who does the checks...". EXPRESS SMOG WAS FAST AND PROFESSIONAL. If you're tired of spending $30 worth of your time to save $10, only to be frustrated, then this is your place. The whole procedure took only 15 minutes. Nice! $39-if your car passes. read more

Great service! I was ready in about 20 min. No appointment necessary. Plus it only costed $39.95! read more

I have over 40 vehicles and use Vick's services exclusively. He's the most diligent and honest smog technician I have encountered in Southern California. Truly 5-star service. A great guy as well! read more
