I was In and out - what more can you ask for. I was avoiding this for a month and it only took me 10 min.

Had amazing service the other day. Went in for a smog check and was in and out in less than 20 minutes. The price of the smog check was of great value as well. I will definitely recommend this place to others and will be back when the time comes again. read more

Quick, easy, and affordable smog check. My mom and I have been coming here for years and appreciate the great service.

Always the friendliest and most honest service for all the years I've lived in Glendora!

This guy is just looking for a way to not pass your vehicles smog. After saying several times everything was good and it passed he went back and hooked it up over and over to the computer again looking for a way to not pass my vehicle. In total he hooked my vehicle up to the computer 8 times trying to find a way to not pass it so he could make more money. HE IS NOT AN HONEST SMOG TECH. There's lots of good smog shops around. He's not one of them. read more

Called this morning he said come in. Then when I got there he said no my machine is broken. Then I asked him why he told me over the phone to come in and then he yelled at me and told me to go away. This guy is extremely rude and has no customer service read more

When I need a smog this is my go to place. It fast clean and the owner is super helpful. Can't recommend it enough

When I arrived, there was one car ahead of me. But after about 15 minutes I was in my car pulling out of the parking lot. The smog check was done and paid for. Luckily my car passed the test, and when I got home I went online to the DMV and was able to pay for my vehicle registration renewal and get it all behind me. Very efficient. Good price. I'll be going back there next time. Charles read more

The only place I go for smog services. I've been coming here for years but moved out to San Bernardino County about five years ago. Guess what? I still come here when smog check time rolls around! Always friendly, polite and professional. read more

I went here today to get my car smog. The service was fast and price was great. I will definitely get my car smog here for now on.

Service was great and quick. In and out in 15 minutes. Cost was very good compared to other smog check stations.

Best place in town to get your smog check done. Friendly, reliable and trustworthy. Will visit again.

Fast efficient service! Very honest and saved us $3500 for a catalytic converter which was not needed! Will recommend!

I have been bringing my vehicles here whenever I need a smog check. And I'm always pleased at how fast accurate and professional the owner is. And affordable as well. Had another great visit so please if you need a smog check check him out . read more

They don't open on time but it's always better to be the 1st or early. Today I was the first, no conversation, just small talk and he finished in 9 minutes, paid and left. Very honest people, friendly yes and fast service obviously. I came in for a smog check. I bring all my family cars here and been a loyal cutomer for 7 years now. Shop around first. read more

Samo's Smog Check - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Glendora, California

I called asked what time would be good to bring my car in for the smog test. My dad actually took my car in for me. He said the man there was really nice they talked while the test was performed it was quick and the price can't be beat. My dad doesn't live in this area but the following weekend he came back up and took his vehicle there to be smogged as well. read more

Fabulous customer service, price and professionalism. I'd taken my car to several places that advertised as STAR testing but were not. My car was now several days overdue and I was kinda angry now. He pulled the car in and out, ten minutes later we were done. Not only did he take care of the STAR level smog test, but sent me directly to the AAA down the street to get my tag immediately! I don't know what else I could have asked for. Thanks! read more

Quick, efficient. Great service. Friendly. This is my go-to smog check place. Highly recommend.

Been going here literally all my life, I will drive across county lines for this. Very happy and satisfied with Samos.

I paid these guys 50$ for nothing! Brought my truck here for a smog check, tech told me my timing was off so it failed the smog. I checked the timing myself and it was correct. I also had a mechanic check it and he confirmed it was correct. I took it back to Samo's and the same tech still insisted my timing was still off....I paid I took my truck to another smog place and it passed. DO NOT go to Samo's they are scammers and will not listen to what you have to say. I even showed the paper work from the mechanic but he didn't want to see it. read more

Came for a smog in November and waited an hour and a half or 2 hours only for them to tell me they couldn't smog it. Their excuse was that the machine was faulty, even though there were 2 cars before me. They said they had to call a tech to repair the machine. I said okay I'll try again another day. I came back a month later and he asked me if I fixed my problem. Wtf? I didn't have any problems to begin with. I didn't even get any results because they claimed the machine broke. The guy looked really surprised like I caught him in a lie. He started yelling something in a different language and another guy came over. I had no idea what they said but at the end of the conversation he said he wouldn't be able to smog it. I asked again why they can't if my car didn't even need anything fixed. He said I don't know. Then he said another shop can probably do it. This made no sense to me so I asked him to explain to me why he can't. Somehow his "I don't know" answer and "broken machine" excuse turned into a story about "the speed being too high and the rpm skipping." He got really mad that he had to explain to me (for the first time) why he can't smog it and started yelling "I already told you I already told you." He walked away from me without saying anything else. Total bs. I bring all my cars here and have been for 8 years now. This guy must've thought I wanted him to "pass" it or something. Either way they were total jackasses about everything and just didn't want to smog my car. I've taken it somewhere new since and have had no problems. So that's that. Fuck you guys. read more

Came back to smog my other Honda at the end of August. Once again, great work, easy, fast efficient. In-n-out in 10min. Passed and went to AAA for my tags/reg. $50. One time I did not pass, he told me what to do, I did it and came back and it passed. He is the best. Do not go anywhere else. He does not waste time or small talk with people. He does his job and that's what you want to get in and get out! read more

Everyone here is so polite. There's never a long wait when you go. The cost is cheap too! It's so worth it. I'll always go to Samo's because it's worth it ! read more

UPDATE: I have dropped my rating from 5 to 3 because ... the young guy I used to deal with their either sold the business or the new guy was really just an arrogant, rude employee. The last time I went there was 2-3 years ago. So i can't really recommend it now. Samo's is a great place to do business, specifically, in getting a car smogged. He is HONEST, and won't cheat to get a car passed when it clearly violates the law. Which I APPRECIATE, though a few of you may not. The owner is a young, friendly guy who is eager to please, and get you through the process as soon as possible. Give him a try! He is a legal immigrant who seems to have easily absorbed the American desire to own and run his own business. read more

Went to DMV today for registration and tags. January smog check done and nothing on DMV system. Interesting??? He was more expensive than normal place but needed asap. Long story short, I asked he check his records to help me out as I am not in the area and at DMV, he decides not to help me out now and to call back in an hour. I'm at the DMV???? C'mon, bad customer service and non-reporting is not acceptable. Get it done! read more

Doesn't seem very interested in having customers or even recommendations. I needed a pre-test for my car and buddy wanted $25 for JUST that and then another $60 or $70 for the full test. At the time I thought pre-tests were supposed to be free (it's based on the smog station), and I mentioned this to him only to receive "You don't like it, go somewhere else" in response. I waited a good 10 or 15 minutes waiting for him to get back from wherever he was, and even after that he didn't show any courtesy to a potential customer. If he had been a little nicer and explained why he charges instead of being a jerk, I wouldn't have left this negative review. I could've easily went somewhere else and called it a day. But being rude to someone looking for help is the totally smart thing to do! The customer may not always be right, but if you're a business owner, the least you can do is have some respect towards others and not sound like an a-hole. And for the record, I found a place where the pre-test was $10 and the guy there was extremely courteous and answered all of my questions. You know, like a professional business owner should do... But hey, thanks for making me find a better smog place! :) read more

Kudos to Samo's smog check! Five thumbs up! Car passed with flying colors. And then he made the best suggestion ever, take your pass certificate and your registration straight to AAA! You could have your stickers and registration immediately! I never even considered going to the AAA for it, I was flabbergasted, I did the happy dance, I asked him if I could hug him! ( by the way AAA only takes cash or check for DMV transactions, no credit cards ) Samo's you made my week!! thank you very much! read more

I called prior to going and the guy on the phone was very polite and let me know that he only has one other customer so I can come on down. Asked what car I will be driving so he can expect me. I thought the smog check would take longer at first but the technician told me "it'll be done in 10 minutes". And it was!! Soo quick and good service!! read more

The best, cheapest, fastest, nicest most reliable smog check station around. Came here with my family suprised with the prices funny guy in and out in le5than 20 minutes. read more

I've been coming here for the last 10 years without a problem...until recently. This time the owner claimed that my vehicle would not pass. Wouldn't pass that is unless I bought him lunch. So for cash on top of the normal charge my vehicle magically made the grade. No more for me. A word to the wise, if you plan on coming here better bring an extra $15 or so just to make sure that your car passes. read more

Been coming for years. Cheap, Quick. Electronic Transfer is awesome. Thanks a lot of being cool.

The DMV never got the electronic approval certificate from this place. If you want a copy of the approval certificate you have to pay. I have never had an issue before so I just took the receipt for payment and the electronic certificate. When I called to see if i could get a copy of my approved smog for the DMV (since they didn't get it) I was told I had to come in. When I did that I had to wait for all the cars to be checked before he would even attempt to look up my check (I had already paid for and waited for previously). He was rude and unhelpful. I will not come back here even though they are quick and affordable. It's not worth the hassle. read more

I bring my car here every time I need a smog check for my registration. I've had nothing but great customer services in the years I've been coming here. I highly recommend Samo's. It's quick and easy. I will continue to get my car smoged here in the future. read more

I have been going to Samo's for 10 years but no more. The owner decided to move my car with the hood up from one stall to another. And he hit the wall. I told him I needed his insurance company information. He refused to give it to me. He told me to bring my car to his smog shop the next day and he would have it fixed. I'm going through my insurance, they can get the money from him. I won't be returning. read more
