These guys are great, quick efficient,no drama, and no hassle. Also they are open on Saturdays, which is a big bonus as many others are not. Why aren't others open is beyond me. I took my old 1989 BMW, and they were able to test it, they are a Star certified facility. It passed by the way. Then same day right about closing time 2:30 pm, I took my other car in because I discovered it needed to be smogged too. I was in and out both times in 15-20 minutes there was only one car ahead of me. They are really fast! Added bonus they are friendly too. If I need to get my cars smogged in LA this is where I will go for the years to come. read more

Great guys, fast service, free re-test, if needed (I did not need)

I was able to call and have them fit me in right away. The DMV required me to have a smog check and these guys were great and had me in and out in less than 10 minutes. Very professional and helpful! read more

I came here first thing in the morning without an appointment and my car was done within 15 minutes of arriving. Super polite, very easy process. Would definitely recommend! read more

A very polite man owns this shop with his brother who is really good at violating your personal space. The in-your-face brother wants his sushi prepared by Japanese men, and would rather Armenians than Mexicans operate and serve at Zankou chicken. Also, he doesn't like French food and was not at all surprised when a Black family went into the expensive French restaurant facing their shop, which presents as a cheap Thai food restaurant, and left ten seconds later. I believe they were suggesting that this Black family either did not care for French food or for the price. Maybe both! The nice brother assumed that I would probably prefer kosher food and thinks my domain name sounds like a woman's. I'm grateful for the quick smog check and that they stayed open a little late for me. For the record: I enjoy Zankou chicken no matter who is operating or serving at their locations right now. I've had really good sushi served to me by people who did not appear to be Japanese. I'm pretty much an atheist no matter how much my face resembles the map of Jerusalem and I don't really care if you think my domain name sounds like it should be my wife's. And I'm not married at the moment. read more

Excellent. All I know is, I was under an insane time crunch, had to get back to the DMV before it closed, called the guy, he said "Come over, I'll try to get you out fast enough!", he was nice, incredibly efficient, made a clear effort to help me, and I made it back to the DMV with 5 seconds to spare -- with his help. read more

These guys were great. I brought car for smog here (and they're star certified which was required for my smog check). Unfortunately my car didn't pass (because honestly I suck at taking care of my vehicle and check engine light was on) so was going to have to pay for another full smog, I went and repaired the issues (sensor issues) and brought it back and realized they basically do the updated smog for almost nothing if you already brought it before and failed -- that was great! Also, it was really quick (both the failed time and the successful time). Great place. read more

Great experience here! They were fast - literally I was in and out within 15 minutes. One of the guys, Greg was super nice and even insisted on me trying this Korean boiled egg (it was good!) since I was on my lunch break and hadn't eaten yet. Be informed that they are currently located on La Brea & Olympic (the above address is wrong). Not sure if this is permanent or temporary. I am definitely going back whenever I need a smog check. Cost was $50 for my 2002 Honda Civic. read more

$70 for my vehicle to be smogged which is standard for my vehicle. They were quick and even personally recognized that I maintain my car well. Smog check places are a dime a dozen and so as long as they don't lie about checks and make you buy things like gas caps and whatnot, then they are fairly similar. That being said, these guys are quick and respectful. read more

Love the efficiency of this place. Greg is great as is his co-worker. Fast smog check and also willing to go a little further and help with minor issues. Definitely recommend them. Thank you! read more

Went in to get my girlfriends car smog and spoke with Greg. He took like 10 minutes to complete the job and was very reasonable compared to other places I called. Def will be taking my other car here soon. read more

quick, friendly smog check. I came on a weekday around 11am and was out of there with my smog certificate in half an hour for $60. the guy was extremely friendly and very personable. I was dreading having to get a smog check but I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and painless it was! go here for your next smog check! please note: the address on yelp is incorrect, they are conveniently located on the southwest corner of Olympic and Beverly. read more

I've been here three times over the past few years. Service is fast and the pricing is fair. As Ryan K. mentioned, they're located at the southwest corner of Beverly and Olympic. Another Note: The owners said the current address is temporary. They don't know if they'll be staying at the current address or going back to 820 S La Brea Ave once construction has been completed. read more

Amazing service, made us feel like royalty - everyone was so nice! Serviced us right away, pulled us up a couple of chairs and were done in 10 mins. So good I had to leave a review. read more

I have followed these brothers from their Melrose location to Sunset. They are honest, friendly and make the experience of having my car smog'd easy & pleasurable. I will continue to look to them for my smog certificate, as well as, happily, refer anyone else who is in need. read more

Fast, friendly, COVID-safe service! I was in and out in 10 minutes. It couldn't have been easier. I had a favorite place near work in Burbank, but that one close. Smog Control is my new go-to. read more

Such nice guys. Done in less than ten minutes, $60 and when I mentioned I was headed to the dmv to get california plates they insisted that I come back to them and they would put them on for me. Definitely recommend!! read more

This place is rad. The owners are really nice and I was in and out in 10 minutes. $50 bucks for a 2009. Definitely go here when you have to get a smog check. read more

Are you looking for a quick and an honest smog station go directly to 7100 West Sunset Boulevard the corner of La Brea Mobil gas station I was there and within 10 minutes my car was done and I was on my way read more

Fast, friendly service - In and out in 10 minutes! These guys were professional and personal. The show was clean and the service was super fast. He even noticed a large tire mark on my left front fender and used a solvent to clean it off for free!! I will always use them in the future. read more

A first timer at Smog Control at Highland & Melrose, one car ahead of us, not a long wait, very quick service. I called ahead of time to inquire about price. Older cars do have an extra test, so price is $80, lower for newer cars. Price includes the smog test, Evap test, and certificate. Called one other place, they wanted more. Its always a good idea to call around. The brothers Greg & Jack are very nice. I wish them luck in their new location. read more

Ari is my new mechanic since getting 2 of my cars smogged here. Trusting a car guy is a tough thing for a women and I felt completely comfortable. He was upfront with me he was honest. He was reasonably priced to boot. I will be back! read more

I came here for a smog check on my Prius. I was in and out in 10 minutes with a passing inspection. It was $60 which I've heard is more expensive than most places but I'd pay $20 extra for quick and friendly service. read more

I pulled up and got out of my car with my smog paperwork. The man who approached got wide eyed and said for a second he thought I was serving him court papers. He asked what year my car was, then said it was $70. I said, " I read on your yelp page it was $40." He got a sour look on his face and without a word just handed me back my paperwork and motioned for me to be on my way. read more

The usual place I go to was closed due to a personal emergency, and although I like them, I didn't want to hassle going back on another day. I found this place close by. It's definitely pricier at $60, but I will say I was in and out in 10 minutes, plus the guys who did the check were really nice. Will I come back? Well, I guess for the price, it would have to be the perfect storm again. read more

These two guys were so nice and conversational as I was getting my smog test. NOTE: Their location has changed from this address, but they're just south a half a block on the southwest corner of La Brea and Olympic, under the giant TV Billboard. I was in and out pretty quickly, even though there was someone in front of me when I got there. They sent in the results quickly, so I could finish registering online. I very much recommend going there if you have to get a smog test. read more

Took my car for a Smog check, arrived at 2:30 pm was out at 2:45 pm . Service was friendly and professional. Will for sure refer this place to friends. read more

highly recommend both guys, jack and greg. quick response, straight forward , honest, good service

Greg took my car and in 5 minutes had me ready to go. He's also really nice and loves to chat, very knowledgeable and friendly. $60 for my smog cert was the cheapest price around town. Stand up guy, clean garage you could eat pizza off the floor. These are the things I look for in a mechanic garage. Friendly honest service and good laughs from Greg make the smog process quick and easy. 10/10 will be back in two years to get my recertification when it's due. read more

60bucks and 20 mins! Can't beat that. Drive up and was created by two gentlemen. 20 minutes later after they did their magic I passed and was on my way read more

This is one of the best and friendliest smog station you can find. My family have been using them for all my smog needs for over 15 years. From their old location to the new one ( corner of sunset and la Brea). They make it very easy and pleasant. read more

Love bringing my car here when it needs some love - been trusting them for over 4 years after I was almost charged triple the price at another place (thank god I came here first for a second opinion!). read more

These guys are the real deal. Nice, fast, and a fair price for where they are located. Speaking of which, the location is very convenient too. Great value and they even did a quick complimentary cleaning my headlights, which really needed it. Highly recommend! read more

No line when I arrived $60 for smog check. Very relaxed environment. The check itself did not take a long time and I was happy when I left. I would recommend this place above others for the service I got. read more

Greg and Jack are friendly brothers who obviously enjoy their customers and their work. They are located on the corner of Melrose and Highland, in the back of the 76 gas station. There were 2 cars ahead of mine, and I was able to have my car serviced within 10 minutes. $60 for a smog check and certificate. read more

I highly recommend these men at Smog Control for your smog needs. They went above and beyond for me as I needed my license plate put back on after some car wash mishaps and they were glad to help. I'll definitely be back! read more

BEST PLACE EVER! I had gone to another place for my smog check. Something was weird with my car so after a few failed attempts he sent me away with no reason or advice on where to go. I found Smog Control - drove right in. They had the same issue at first - but he figured out what was wrong very quickly, did the check and I passed and was done. Results were instantly sent to the DMV by Smog Control. I LOVE THEM AND EVERYONE SHOULD GO THERE :) read more

A smog certificate is often that one,pain in the rear,state required chore,that I put off and intensely dislike dealing with! These guys eased the pain exponentially! Mainly because of how friendly,sincere and warm the two of them are the second they approach you,which is appreciated because it's a quality which is becoming hard to find.The service was fast,efficient and easy to get in and out.Extra time is something else I find myself in short supply of and it was much appreciated to be able to alleviate an additional task as painlessly as could be asked for! I will definitely return here with our personal and fleet vehicles for all future smog certificates! read more

These guys are awesome. Showed up when they open at 8:30 without an appointment or anything and they were ready and had my certificate in hand within about 10 minutes. Very nice, very efficient, wouldn't think of going anywhere else. read more

Greg and Jack were extremely friendly, professional and provided speedy service! It was $60 for a smog check and I was in and out in 10 minutes. What a relief. read more
