Walnut Smog & Repair is an independent STAR Certified smog check station and complete auto repair shop at 1323 E Walnut St in Pasadena. Customers know the owner, Arthur, by name, and many have brought their family's cars to "Art" for years.
Our reputation comes down to honest diagnosis. When the parts store says O2 sensor, Arthur checks anyway, and sometimes finds a disconnected hose in under a minute. When someone says you need a catalytic converter, we test first. Reviewers call him "very honest, friendly and knowledgeable."
Some customers have been coming to Arthur for almost 20 years. Most smog checks are quick, reviewers mention being in and out in 10 to 15 minutes, and there's a clean lounge with comfortable seating while you wait. We're open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5 PM.
