I was in need for a smog check on my 2019 Honda Civic. I'm not from the area. The first business I called said they were open but when I got there the shop was closed. This was the second closest spot. There were two cars ahead of me but were out right away. The gentleman noticed something wrong on my car and stated I should get serviced when possible. I appreciated the man's honesty, politeness and swiftness. If I was a local I would definitely come back here again. Thank you again Sir.

I needed a smog check. I called the place in advance, and the technician told me about what time his less busy time is. I went there at 4:50 pm and just needed to wait a bit for him to finish up with the other customer. The service was quick and clear, and the place is neat and clean.

I came here for a smog test and was called a mam boy and the attendant barked the prices at me while I was simply confirming them with him. I left that place promptly. Such a rude and unkind experience. I don t recommend.

I just went for a smog test and had a wonderful experience !The technician who was there administering the test was very kind, assured and efficient. I noticed that it was quoted as perhaps taking 50min for a test but having gotten there shortly after opening I was in and out in about 15min!! I will return and recommend to others. Thank you!

I've been there twice now with my old Camry and the gentleman there was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The prices seem fair and the SMOG service is very quick. Get there when they first open for no wait time.

Very rude employee by the name yuri he was not allowing me to ask for information, cut me off, yelled at me and said he was the manager. I work for a collision center corporate near this location and this is not the way we make business with other vendors. If I had the chance to rate this business a ZERO I would have gladly rate it that negative number. I wish things could have turned better because I wanted to make business with this location. Please check your employees!

About a week ago, I went for star smog test for the first time and the person who tested the vehicle is an aggressive and rude guy. I wouldn t recommend this place to anyone. He s incompetent and will abuse your car.

Excellent and fast service at a fair price (try to take cash to save additional card fees). Yourik was very professional and respectful. It took me about 20 minutes in and out without appointment. I went there early in the morning and no one was ahead me.Service: Smog certificationService: Smog certification

Service was quick and professional. Lady before me had some other car issues and owner ran across a street to get tools necessary to help her start a car. I'm happy whenever I can support business like this.

They try to use the same name as the other pasadena test only center. I got out my car, he wrote up a invoice and I realized this was higher than the number I was quoted on the phone. I asked him to stop and that I needed to go somewhere else. He told me he needed to charge me $5 for the price of writing the invoice paper, I refused to pay as I hadn't had any service done yet. I told me I was a cheap son of a b���h and to f��k off. PLEASE DONT GO HERE

Don't believe their pricing. I called this place, asked the price of a STAR Smog for my year & model car. Was told it was $45 credit, or $40 cash. I showed up later that day when I said I would. Towards the end of the smog the guy hands me a bill for $45. When I pay, I ask, "isn't it $40 cash?" (I was paying cash). "No, it says right here, $45". I wound up paying $45.If you're looking for a smog, I've always had a pleasant experience with Sam at Vista Test Only (on Colorado Blvd just West of San Gabriel). I wish I had given him my money.Service: Smog certification

Very quick service but expensive. They charged me $50 for a smog check. Also they are apparently the same business as the J and G auto group across the street. The guy told me he owns both and had me go to the other side of the street.

BEST SMOG PLACE IN PASADENA! Most inexpensive smog test I've found in Pasadena so far. The place is tiny; you might miss it if you aren't looking out for it. The guy who works there is very courteous. He files your paperwork and he always has me in and out in a really short amount of time. I think you can get a discount for cash but, if I remember correctly, it's already $42 to begin with which is a great price compared to a lot of other smog places in town.Thank you, Pasadena Test Only Center!

DO NOT GO TO THIS CROOK! Would you think a transmission warning would be reason not to pass smog? I didn't either. This guy turned on the engine twice, saw the TRASMISSION warning each time and did not inform me that this would be reason enough not to certify smog. Then he quietly does his paperwork, shows that the emissions are ok, then tells me he can't certify the car because of the transmission warning. So essentially he charged me $32 just to tell me that the transmission warning invalidates passing smog. If he was an honest and legit guy, don't you think he would have said something BEFORE starting the test? Obviously he is just trying to take people's money and is not concerned with any form of customer satisfaction. Again, DON'T GO TO THIS CROOK!

I've been getting my vehicles smogged here since the 1980s. They are always straight forward and do a great job.
