Peter you are awesome, thank you so much for being so friendly and knowledgeable. I came in last minute and he was quick and professional. I asked for some recommendations because my car needs some work and he recommended silver lake auto so I'll make it there sometime this month. I will definitely be returning and recommending friends and family to come here for a smog check. Thanks again and till next time. B #dogfriendly #greatvalue #professional read more

Went here to get a smog check in the evening. The guy asked if I can come back the next day at 11am. I showed up promptly at 11am and the shop was closed. No sign or information to indicate any issues or emergencies. Poor communication. Loss of a customer and any future business of mine. read more

Came here for a smog check for my car today. Prompt, quick service by an expert friendly technician. Thank you for your help today. Also a good value and cheap price. Would come back. read more

Excellent service, very efficient and I was in and out in 15 minutes. The owner was super friendly, and I'd reccomend this place to anyone!

Took less than 20 minutes. The guy who helped me was very friendly and helped me move my car out the parking area.

Tried out this place based on the high Yelp ratings plus proximity in Echo Park after my regular smog check spot was temporarily out of order and it's excellent. Peter was very professional and friendly, even as my '95 Saturn failed an initial test. Mostly wearing a mask and always distanced (we're still in a pandemic here), he explained the issues in depth and what I should do in general to repair it, which had to be elsewhere as this is a "test only" station. He just charged me half of the bill ($39.99), which was a nice gesture. After getting a basic tune up, I called ahead and came back for a second test after driving a bit on the freeway to warm up the engine. It failed again on the 25mph hydrocarbon metric. Peter didn't charge me at all for this re-test. This seems above-and-beyond to me, rather than a charge for each test, regardless of pass/fail. He also pointed out that a formal smog repair facility is what's needed now. Once I got the old catalytic converter replaced over at Bussard's, per that other great shop's recommendation, I called ahead to make sure he wasn't busy, as it's a small space in a shared garage. My car passed with a great score and he was even delighted to explain the results. I paid the remainder ($39.99), he sent the results right away to the DMV, and it's been all good to go. This will be my new go-to spot when I need to do this again every two years. read more

***** Peter was great! I called him, to make sure he was open: 1) GREAT telephone communication skills and his personal skills were even better. My wife and I visited together. 2) The business beside Peter's is taking over the parking lot, but if you need help maneuvering around the cars, Peter will get you IN and OUT! Just ask him for help!

Highly recommend for a smog check! Was in and out in 15 minutes. The worker was super kind and it was also very affordable. Will be coming back next time around :) read more

I called ahead of time to gauge availability, and they were totally free at 3pm on a Monday! The guy who worked on my car was super nice and had everything set up by the time I pulled in so it felt really efficient! I got lost on the way there and actually passed it and went to the neighboring wolf auto shop, and it took me a while to find my way back to this one since it was kind of tucked away so I missed it the first time :( So just be on the lookout as you get near it so you turn into the right driveway! Overall, it was fast and efficient, so I'd recommend this place to anyone around the Echo Park/Silverlake area! read more

At least 3 other "Star Certified" smog stations in the area said that their calibration was off and they couldn't provide the necessary documentation for the DMV, but this place was legit, fast, affordable, and the technician was friendly! read more

The owner is very quick to respond and answer any questions I had. They are also Star certified and the prices cannot be beat! Same day appointment and in and out within 20 minutes, which was just enough time to go to the Rite Aid across the street and get some ice cream. Definitely would come again. read more

Came in here right when he opened at 9am to get a smog check for my little Fiat. Excellent customer service: fast and friendly. He went above and beyond making me (and my dog) feel welcomed, and he even helped me navigate out of the lot! Much cheaper compared to the shop next door. read more
