Pasadena Test Only & Smog Check is a fast, clean, and efficient small family business. It is highly recommended as the best and cheapest smog check around, with great oil change options too. The whole procedure is quick and easy, with paperwork e-sent to the DMV. The owner is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and does not upsell. The team is super friendly, sharp, and pleasant, providing a great experience. The shop is nice and clean. Note that the address is on Walnut, but you enter the testing bay from Greenwood. Customers report they will not go anywhere else.
Even for issues unrelated to the smog check, they helped the customer look up information on the DMV website and patiently resolved the problem; their service attitude was excellent, and they are highly recommended.

Over the years I’ve been to many different Smog stations, this was my first time at this facility. The owner is Alan, he is good, no Excellent! Extremely knowledgeable, knows exactly what he’s doing, and helped me out immensely, quickly too! I will not ever go anywhere else, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
