We've been coming to Smog Stops for many years, and we've always had an amazing experience! Fred is very friendly, helpful, and trustworthy. He always provides great service and makes the whole process easy and stress-free. We really appreciate that they're open 7 days a week, which is very convenient. We trust Fred and Smog Stops and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a smog check. read more

I was so anxious about my car needing a smog check and I can't even explain why; I suppose because I am a girl and feel weird when it comes to dealing with car things. Anyways, I found this place on yelp and it was so close to home that I knew it was the place I would go to plus it's STAR Certified which is what the DMV requires when a smog check is required for your registration. The place itself is small and super clean but kind of out there with the advertising you can't miss it. The gentleman working was super helpful with my questions and made the process a breeze and we were done in about 10-15 minutes. After the smog check, he gave me my paperwork back and sent it directly to the DMV and it was done. I found the price to be fair and you have the option to pay cash or card. read more

Great service! Very nice and helped me pass smog with his cheap re test. I have an 89 bronco and he tested it no issues, while other places refused me read more

Convenient and quiet smog stop in the middle of Burbank, we appreciate the professionalism thank you 5 stars

I called around to a bunch of smog shops and most didn't even want to touch my old 1990s truck, but this place didn't hesitate for a second. The owner runs the shop himself, and you can tell he takes real pride in his work. Straight-up blue-collar, honest, and professional. He got the job done quickly and flawlessly. Fair price, no nonsense, just great service from a guy who knows his stuff. If you're looking for someone reliable who still believes in good old-fashioned work ethic, this is the spot. Highly recommend! read more

I brought in my 1997 Toyota 4Runner with 300k plus miles and Alfred was very thorough and very honest with the price. I went to a different place earlier and wanted to charge me $130 for a smog check. So I took it Alfred since he's done smog check from my co workers. He's a great guy and only charged me $80. Super cool guy and very knowledgeable. Fast and efficient. I highly recommend getting your smog check from him. read more

Smog Stops Here - The shop - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Burbank, California

I had to pay my registration before I left on vacation last month and decided I'd do my Smog Check at a STAR station when I got back. Well, after delaying, I am now down to the wire to get it done. The first place sounded good, had a coupon for a good deal, no appointment necessary, so I headed over around 11. Closed. I called and the surly man said he was in traffic and to go back and wait. Yeah, no. Enter Smog Stops Here. No hassles, good price, and great service. I didn't get the gentleman's name, but he explained everything he was doing and I didn't need to get out of the car. Usually, I have to stand or sit outside a hot garage, so this alone made it worth it. I don't even know if it took ten minutes, it was such an easy process. I would definitely recommend Smog Stops Here. read more

Wonderful service. Even educated me in things I should know about my car. A pleasure to do business with and I highly recommend

Very sweet owner! Really accommodating and friendly, I will definitely be coming back for any future smog checks.

Very pleasant and quick smog check. Tried for the first time recently and even with two people ahead of me I was done within 20min. Didn't even have to get out of the car, simply chatted with Alfred while he did his thing (he's hilarious btw). $60 and went straight to AAA down the street to renew my registration. Will be back for sure in the future! read more

There's really not much to say about this place...if you need a smog check, they're fast, easy, and convenient. I came here on a Saturday afternoon while doing some errands and there was no line. After reading a ton of Yelp reviews, I chose this place mostly cause they said you didn't even have to get out of your car and I didn't. You pull into this tiny garage and this crusty, acerbic older gentleman hooks your car up to all these wires and tubes. That's not a knock on the person working here that day. He seems like one of those old school guys that would have a cigar in his mouth if it was allowed here. He was kind, but definitely kind of no nonsense. Price was on par with other top smog check places nearby and with my registration due that Tuesday, the certification was sent to the DMV immediately. Bonus points too for the building being one of those castle designs you see so much around Burbank. read more

10/10 service!! As a young woman with this being my 1st car so I'm extremely unknowable when it comes to cars, I will be coming back to this shop!!!! Service was very fast, he was extremely honest (which I can't stress enough) he explained everything he was doing in detail, the computer screen was turned so I could see what was going on, and once again HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME IN DETAIL! He sent my test straight to the DMV so I could go get my tags! Will be returning here and recommending!! read more

The Smog Stops Here has the best customer service. Alfred is very friendly and fast. He is very honest and runs one of the only smog test shops open late on Sunday too! Thanks again! read more

DON'T LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE FOR SMOG CHECKS! Alfred is the best! He's extremely knowledgeable and can help you figure what your car needs and what you can do to keep it running for a long time. Amazing price and great service! read more

In and out smog check, saved my life because I was having so much issues getting it passed due to some errors.

This place is awesome! Fast service! Nice people and get right to the point! Parking can be tough if there busy but you can always park on street! Come early and you'll be done sooner! read more

Kind man helped me smog my truck. I popped in last minute. It was quick. Will definitely come back. It was inexpensive and I was able to get breakfast burritos at corner cottage. Highly highly recommend this spot. It also took like ten minutes to do. read more

Smog Stops Here - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Burbank, California

Your location *STAR* SMOG STOPS HERE 405 S Victory Blvd Victory+Main) # A, Burbank, CA 91502 Smog inspection station Vibrant Neon 29 points 5 minutes ago I was a recommended the shop by a close friend. I was asked if it failed before and was told that he couldn't help me because it lowers his shop score and then I just basically said that this interaction just lowers the recommendation that my friend had. Guy got angry, kept approaching my vehicle getting aggressive as I've already walked away trying to get to my car to leave. I just don't need to deal with an immature older guy with ego problems and wants to argue when I'm just there to get my car smogged. Wanted me to leave and yet was standing in front of my car to where I couldn't even leave in the first place. Was yelling at me actually. I get this is the only thing you're good at and it's definitely not people but this wasn't my problem and it wasn't my fault. I would never come back to the shop ever again with a vehicle that never failed smog. Better places to get your car smogged with better prices for sure. Feel free to read my Google review on them and see their reply where they basically threaten me and try to expose data online partially and try to make it seem like they've reported me or done something that's going to negatively harm me by reporting me. I really don't need somebody giving me disingenuous replies and when I tell them I don't really care about their score and they're pretty much refusing to smog my car and then they want to try to act aggressive like they're trying to get in some physical altercation and then they follow up trying to report me? I'm sorry that you're in an industry that allows you to have this level of insecurity and incompetence to the level you think any of this is going to send me or bother me, keep running your tiny operation. read more

Been coming here for years In and out in less then 10 min And there open until 7 Sometimes I call and arrive a couple minutes pass 7 And the guy is so nice he's willing to wait for me Highly recommended And will continue to come here read more

Fast and easy smog test very fair prices. If you live/work in Burbank highly recommend the services. Has reserved parking for business. He is quick with clients so was in an out under 30 mins, had a big cargo truck before me when I showed up. Was sincerely please by thorough and quick process. Owner was a professional read more

Go elsewhere! This may be the second time I have negatively reviewed a business and this one qualifies. The skinny: the guy did my smog check and at the very end he said he could not complete it because I had anti-theft shield over my catalytic convertor and he couldn't see with his mirror. The catalytic convertor is the original. At least two other smog check places have been able to see the convertor before and it has never been a problem. He said I needed to get the shield removed and he could finish the job - but first I have to pay about $50 for inspection for this incomplete service. He also put "tampered" on my status, which meant that I could not go to another place to get this easily resolved. The convertor has never been tampered, so I don't know why this was done. I took it over to Morse Mufflers and the guy there was surprised and he said he could easily see the convertor and the stamp on it and noted that it wasn't tampered. I had to go back again and pay $8 to finish the process. The guy should have been open up front -- as many cars have these anti-theft shields -- that he couldn't easily do this job, and tell the customer! Don't wait until you get to the end of the process and charge them for an incomplete job, and force them find someone who can take the shield off. Next time I will find another place. read more

First off, I was in urgent need to get a smog for registration purposes & I had no appointment & did little to no research of any smog places around me. I found this place when I was getting lunch near by. When I pulled into the smog bay, the gentleman was very kind and set good expectations for the wait. I had never done a smog check before so he walked me through the process and got it done just under 20 minutes from arriving. Overall, it was a great experience and very quick. I did come during a weekday, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. read more

Smog Stops Here - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Burbank, California

Getting a smog check is like going to the dentist. Because of this place (and especially Fred who runs the show), I actually look forward to getting a notice for a smog check. I rarely meet people like Fred. Fred is a breath of fresh air. He is always enthusiastic and he loves his job. He is quick, efficient, the price is fair, he does his service really really well and that is why I always bring all my cars to this place alone, because of Fred. I encourage everyone to support Fred because this guy is outstanding. The world is definitely a better place because of Fred. I am sure when you get service here that you will enthusiastically agree. read more

This place is the BEST! I had my vehicle repaired prior to getting smoged and the car's computer was ready to pass smog. I had to drive quite a bit to reset the system. The gentleman at this place was great at explaining the details and didn't charge anything extra during this process. I passed smog on the 4th visit. During my visits I saw other drivers with them scenario giving this man grief. There is nothing any smog test can do until the vehicle's computer can satisfy this scenario. BTW, it's not the first time this has happened to me however, in the past, other test stations wanted to charge me extra. Not this guy. He's honest and very fair. If we want to breath clean air, we all must play by the rules. Starting with the place. I wouldn't go anywhere else! This place rocks!!! read more

This is my second time here. I highly recommend coming here to get your car smog checked. It's so easy. Very professional and the gentleman there explained everything. read more

I will definitely be coming here for my smog checks from now on! The owner is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Quick and straight to the point, good prices, and open 7 days a week! Opens really early and closes pretty late compared to other places, which is very useful if you work during the week and are limited on free time. Thank you again for your help! read more

He is a really nice guy runs a really tight operation and does Smog checks while you wait quickly I've been going to him for a few years and have never had an issue. Highly recommended. read more

Stopped in after work today 530 hoping to get a smog. He said yes I will only be 15 minutes he helping other clients. He was a very nice man, kind very knowledgeable he explained that I had an error code on my car. But luckily I will pass smog. Gave me the codes and told me to be careful and get someone knowledgeable who knows what they are doing. Hands down someone you can trust read more

Fred is the best! I came here after my partner did some research and had a good experience getting his smog check done in 10 minutes at a reasonable price. I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I arrived I was the only customer and Fred welcomed me in immediately. All I had to do was pull my car into this tiny little garage and we were in business! The actual job only took less than 10 minutes, but we spent a good chunk of time chatting all about Fred's awesome travels and it was really cool getting to hear his story; you can tell he's genuinely passionate about connecting with other people and also just a really lovely person. He even went through the trouble of walking me through a handy guide on how to approach smog checks in the future in any considerations if I got work done on the car before trying to get a smog check done. Super honest through and through and I couldn't recommend this shop more highly! read more

Great place ! Don't go anywhere else. Very helpful and humble guy! Alfred is great. Very honest business. Only shop open early and closed late! Highly recommend!!! read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable and fair price and quick service I would recommend any one who needs a smog check

The shop gave me fast and very courteous service. The facility is clean with an interesting industrial decor in the back of the shop that I found very attractive. Other shops in the area were closed. I dropped by here and found that the shop tech was there waiting to help me. Thanks! read more

Great place to get your smog done. The owner is respectful and he gets the job done quick at a great price. Don't believe the bad reviews. Some people leave bad reviews because he refuses to brake the LAW. If you have an aftermarket catalytic converter shield installed on your vehicle remove it before you show up to any smog shop. The LAW requires him to visually see your catalytic converter. Will come back again thanks read more
