Sorry to see Bob's has closed this location. Excited to see Real Food Daily is taking over the location. Coming soon.
Local institutions closing in Pasadena. Acapulco and Bob's now. Hmm.

Reps are mostly helpful and you can save money if you use the price match for sure. Before buying anything, check the price online, like Amazon and they will match the price, yes.
Go on off times.
The place could use a refresh, including the area around the outside of the store.

1/19/2012 Purchased a Yelp Deal 1 Check-in Here
Brought in an iPhone 4 with home button sticking issues, in at 6:20pm out at 7pm. Home button is fixed.
Second visit here for phone service.  Surely check this place out.
Even accepted the Yelp deal as full payment for the work.

The food looks great, had the fish and chips and was disappointed. The batter was undercooked. Service was slow and lacking for a large group. Confusing ordering process, if you order at the bar, apparently you can't get your food outside?? odd. Will try this place for breakfast, as it appears that is their strength.

Love the new location in Pasadena. It is surely going to hurt the other local burger places, Carls, Tops, etc.. Why go anywhere else.
I was a little disappointed in the albacore tuna sandwich and onion rings, sandwich was very oily and was soggy on take out when I got home, less than 5 min away. The thickness of the fish was equal or less than the tomato slice...hmmm
Service and friendliness is excellent.
the burgers and fries are great, but maybe I will stick to those. I know the turkey and vege burgers are also very good.
Parking at this location is easy.
Does anyone know the number for this location? Got it..  (626) 351-1122

Not a good experience. My wife went into the store with an appointment. The genius bar told her she would have to backup and restore her phone due to a battery problem on her iPhone 4. The battery drains so fast that it lasts maybe 3 hours. I told her to go back and ask the rep to take care of that as she was on her way to the airport. The rep did a restore without doing a backup and left her with none of her data.

Bad experience, reps are obviously overworked, or not paying attention.
They tell customers what to do, but then when they do it they do something else, and basically tell you good luck!
Maybe time to look at other products... Apple appears to be losing it.

No response from owner. This place will fail. Now they are running another Groupon. Doesn't Groupon care about customer experience? Apparently only about the bottom line selling groupons. that people may not be able to use or have terrible experience!

    I am writing this review for my wife who received a gift card for Amadeus from her mother in law.

    This is also for the management/owner to read.

    I dropped my wife off to enjoy the spa, upon entering the business things seemed ok, a few minutes after starting the message, construction began in the parking lot above the complex.  I am talking loud noises. I have video and pictures.

    At this point the manager/owner should have taken care of the situation by going out to the construction works and asking them to please stop, apparently they where not supposed to start until 3:30? Anyway it gets better. My wife continues to try and enjoy the message and it is pretty bad with all the noise.

    My wife asked for the manager on duty to make things right, and the what began was some sort of negotiation, i.e. 10% off , then 20% off, then 30%, that's ridiculous. When a customer has a bad experience like this you issue a complimentary session and you could save a customer. Now you have an upset customer who will never go back and she is telling everyone about her bad experience.  The manager on duty needs proper training on customer relations.

    Apparently the massage was good, but that is only part of the overall experience.

    Who is the owner?

Joe's Smog Check & Test Only Station

I have been to Joe's a few times. Always friendly and on it.

Place is clean and would highly recommend to others. One thing that caught me off guard was that there was nobody when I got there, and he said that there was one car in front of me. There was no car. Then 20 minutes later a car showed up. So as his site says "First come - First served basis  and We Do NOT Accept Appointments - Walk In Waiting List Only" may or may not be accurate. Did this other person call? Had they already been there? I have no idea... I just know that they where not in front of me when I got there. The place was empty. I waited 40 minutes before they left.  So why do I still give a great review?

    Joe runs one of the best smog check stations around. Honest, easy to talk to, looks out for the customers.  Service is great and his prices are the best in town.
    Don't waste your time with the other places, go to Joe's and you will not go anywhere else.

    Parking can be a bit tricky and you may have to wait but it is worth it.
