Hollywood Sunset Test Only Station

Surprise! They won’t honor the Unilocal check-​in deal – they say it’s a year and a half old and haven’t honored it since that time. Smog check will cost you $ 68, not $ 41. Thanks, Unilocal

Ripoff. I’m not sure about the Unilocalers who say they got out for $ 40. Maybe new management? I drove in and asked how much for an inspection. I was told $ 70. Yeah, no. Got back in the car and drove to Franklin & Gower, got inspection and certificate for $ 50.

Great place. Super great service and fast. The owner is super nice. Had a great experience overall.

I had a great experience here! The technician was very friendly and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. The best part about this place was the price! Only $ 40 out the door! I would definitely recommend coming to this smog place if you need a smog check!

Awesome place! I needed a Star check on my car this year and this place is right down the street from my work. I thought I might need to leave it all day, since I haven’t really done a smog check myself since moving here last year.
I used the check in deal and they got me in and out and on my way to work in about 15minutes. Great deal and a great place! Thank you guys for making this a great experience. I wandered around the thrift shop next door while I waited and before I knew it it was done!

I visited this test only smog station in Hollywood and was very pleasantly surprised at the exceptional service I received! I would highly recommend this location for test only services to any of my family or friends! The price is only $ 40 out the door. WOW! A great experience for a change!

I had to get a smog check for the first time on my car and of course I researched prices and reviews online. There was another place in the neighborhood that had a coupon for $ 29.99 plus fees but they were closed since it was the day after Armenian Genocide Day. I’ve seen this place get some bad reviews online but I couldn’t be happier with my service. It was $ 40 including all fees. The service took only about 15 minutes, the man let me sit in a comfy chair while I waited and even offered me a bottle of water. Five stars

I got off work late tonight and just barely got here before they closed. They still squeezed me in and I was in and out real quick. I used the check in deal and saved a lot of money, I was there for maybe 15 minutes, I passed and everything went to the right places. Now free and clear! I had put off getting it because I needed a STAR test this year and I know it can be tough to find a good place for a good price. Glad I found these guys. They were quick and professional and got me in even though by the time I got there they were getting ready to close up.
Thanks guys!

Friendly staff and really easy to get in and out, all for only 40 bucks… thanks Hollywood Sunset Test Only Station!!!

Fast, Friendly, Trustworthy, Very Knowledgeable and caring Professionals.
I went on a busy Saturday morning and the smog check was very fast and efficient. I was in and out in 15 minutes.
They only charged me $ 40 which included the State Certification.
I would highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and see the 1^st class experience.

I had tickets to the Arclight to see a movie and got there earlier so since I needed to get a smog check I found this place just a couple of blocks away. I asked Gal the technician if I could be in and out quickly to make the movie. He was very nice and hooked my car up to the Smog Check machine quickly and had me out of there in no time. He charged me only $ 40. Gal was very friendly and truly concerned that I make my movie. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs a quick experience.

Was in and out. I called around and they were the most competitively priced (they charged me $ 40 out the door). So based on this experience i would recommend it.

Great place to get your smog checked! I went there in the morning to get my smog checked and the service was awesome! They were very fast, friendly and they offered me water while I waited. It was super cheap, too! $ 40 out the door! I would definitely recommend this place!

Fast and affordable. The guy working there was friendly and provided a good service. No hassles and they started working right away.

$ 70. For a smog check. And NO FREE RETEST.
Avoid Hollywood Sunset Test Only Station at all costs. Especially at TWICE the cost of any other smog check station in LA. And NO FREE RETEST — literally wants to charge me $ 35 to re-​test! That’s more expensive than other places change for the FIRST test, and the re-​test is FREE.
AVOID AVOID. DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!

I was looking for a place that was open on a Sunday to take my SUV to because I was selling my car and needed to make sure it would pass Smog. I found Hollywood Sunset Test Only on Unilocal and it was pretty close to me and most important, it was open on Sunday, which is hard to find. It was a little pricier than normal at $ 70, which I was quoted on the phone. When I got there I tried to use the coupon I found online, but he said that was not for SUVs only regular cars, but gave me $ 10 off instead. So, I ended up paying $ 60.
There was one car in front of me when I arrived, but he was finished, so I backed up and pulled right in. Robert helped me. He was very nice and cheerful. He told me to take a seat and got me a cold water. He was quick and efficient. I was in and out of there under 30 minutes. So, a little pricier than the places I usually go to in Van Nuys or more towards East L.A. but I will gladly pay a little more for convenience, (closer to my house), quick service, and a nice guy helping me out.

This place is a rip off. Yes, it was quick but the speed did not justify the cost.
It was $ 60 for the test, and I passed everything except I had one tube in my engine that was worn through and needed to be replaced. Several places offer a free retest when you need to get repairs. Not here.
He told me the retest would be $ 38 but he could do $ 28 for me. Wow, thanks. I’m so fortunate to get to spend $ 30 for you to simply look at a tube to verify I fixed it.
I did not go back. Instead I am now writing from my mechanic’s where a smog test is $ 32 and he doesn’t charge for the retest if you fail.
There are so so many smog test places and many of them take advantage of us because they know that since we only have to do this every two years and most of us wait till the last minute, we’ll just accept bs pricing and policies to get it over with.
Do yourself and everyone else a favor and actually take the time to find a place that doesn’t exploit its customers. As long as people keep going to places that take advantage of us, those business will maintain those practices because they continue to profit.

I went in yesterday to get a smog check. First the guy said it would be $ 60 so I said I’ll go somewhere else that is $ 50 and more practical. Then he changed his mind and said he would do it for $ 53…I said ok.
He did the smog check, all went well until the payment.
Instead of running my card for $ 53.25 he ran it for $ 537.25!!! He said oops I accidently pushed an extra number…$ 537.25!!! He said he was charging it back to my account. so far it’s not yet in my account.
Funny thing is yesterday when I was at the DMV I was chatting with the girl ahead of me. I told her the story about being over charged… she asked if I had gone to the place on Sunset and El Centro, I said yes. She said that same thing happened to her the other day.
Sounds to me that this might not be an honest mistake if it has happened more than once. Just saying if you do choose to do biz there make sure to watch how much he punches in to charge you. Now I have to wait for my claim to go through the bank, and I need my $ 537.25 now for bills. What a pain in the ass!!!

I must be lucky because I had an extremely good experience here this past Sunday. I showed up about 10am, got right in and out of there in around 35 minutes.
I did not bother with a coupon as I was doing a smog on a luxury Sports car and I know from prior experience that most places do not honor coupons on these vehicles.
I was not bothered too much by the price $ 70 because 1. I waited until the last day to get it smogged 2. The type of vehicle 3. The fast and friendly service
I see there are lots of negative reviews so I can only guess I came on a perfect day.
Incidentally, my older V8 Mustang with a coupon in Santa Monica still costs me $ 55. So $ 70 for a Luxury car isn’t that bad in comparison.
And they are open on Sundays 9am — 2pm. I would recommend not getting there right at 2 though since it typically takes about ½ hour.
Good luck !!!

Dropped in on a Sunday morning because they’re the only ones near me open on Sundays (yay!). Waited for one person to be serviced then I was up. Took probably about 1 hour total. The guy who serviced my car was terribly interesting and we had the best convo while he check out my ride. He has double digit years of experience in the auto industry and appeared very trustworthy. I passed and I’d def recommend.
Also I hadn’t printed the coupon but they gave the discount anyways. #awesome
