OK it's not that bad, especially if you go to the Glendale Smog Center. It is Saturday afternoon, I cruise over, Albert walks up and starts the test immediately. As in, within 60 seconds of me pulling up. You can sit inside and wait, but the whole thing only takes about 10 minutes. 60 bucks cash, sign the receipt, and Albert reports the results to the DMV. Great guy, great place, I cannot imagine smog checks going any faster or smoother. Thanks Albert!

No fuss, no frills. Fair price and I paid cash to get rid of any extra fees. $60 out the door. Less than 15 minutes. Highly recommend. Will come back again. Thank you!

I called around 4pm asking if they could fit me in, and the awesome worker on duty (so sorry to forget your name!), said, "Come by at 4:30 as I'm working on someone else's car." I told him I was in the parking lot and why I was there, so urgently, and he got BOTH cars done before 4:40p, which left me time to jet to AAA up the curve to get my tags. Absolute lifesaver! I should also mention: I went here after hearing positive reviews (verbally) from people I know in the area. THANK YOU!! Absolute hero, that worker that day! (3/26/26, around 4:15p)

Brought my lifted Duramax into Glendale Lube Center for an oil change and fuel filter replacement…read moreand immediately realized my truck was probably the smallest ego in the parking lot. Most shops see this thing pull up and suddenly everybody disappears to 'lunch,' but not here. Maria and Cesar handled it like absolute veterans. Maria was at the front desk looking so good I almost forgot why I came in there in the first place. Customer service was flawless she had the whole place running smoother than my truck after the service. Meanwhile Cesar looked like the final boss of diesel mechanics. Dude walked up to the truck like he'd wrestled lifted suspensions in hand-to-hand combat before breakfast. I'm pretty sure at one point they needed FAA clearance to work underneath my truck, but somehow they got the oil change and fuel filter done fast, clean, and without launching a socket into orbit. Truck came back running perfect, no leaks, no problems, and no 'check engine light surprise package' two miles later. Honestly Glendale Lube Center feels less like a lube shop and more like a Fast & Furious side quest. Great people, great vibes, and solid work. Maria and Cesar definitely made the experience legendary.

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.
