Kevin R.Los Angeles, CA52476Aug 26, 2024Quite literally the best! Made an appointment for a same day smog check (they take walk-ins too). It was a very easy process that lasted no more than 30 mins and Jose was very friendly and helpful. They have seats in the office or you can take a short walk to some of the nearby cafes for a quick treat.
All in all it was a seamless visit and I couldn't be happier. You'll be in good hands if you come here!

Cautious O.Albany, CA0194May 6, 2024I have been taking my car and telling friends to go here for many years. Everyone is satisfied. Still no stress and no undisclosed smog test additional costs, fast service. Also recommend oil changes while you wait. Would not hesitate to hire Jose to do brakes and other maintenance jobs.
I have been going here since the business was on University Ave. many years ago. Long time Berkeley business, strong reputation.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1

Rose B.Berkeley, CA3527Jul 22, 20241 check-inQuick, efficient and well priced! There looked to be a long line of cars, but they had me pull right in and it was ready 15 m later. Plus, Jose was friendly. All good!

Real quick and affordable. They also do other automotive things like oil change, transmission checks. Very friendly. I have used them for my last 2 smog checks and will do my next oil change there.

I made an appointment online and it was very easy. I thought I might need a oil change so requested that as well online. But was told I didn't need it even though it had been at least a year as my miles did not justify an oil change. This is very different from other places that change oil and want to come back at least every 3-6 months. I appreciate that very much.
Aug 30, 2016Previous reviewThis was quick and easy. Made my appointment in the morning and had my certificate with in less 20 mins after arriving.
Nicole W.Hacienda Heights, CA62147Jul 15, 20241 check-inService was quick and easy! There is a cute cafe down the street where you can wait. I used the yelp account for a discount too and they honored it. I also didn't bring my paperwork and they did it for me for a small fee. Thanks!

Simba G.West Berkeley, Berkeley, CA186182Jan 30, 2024Updated reviewAttended 15 minute smog test and oil change again today. Efficient. Knowledgeable. Saves me well over an hour at the dealer. Never me any unnecessary maintenance issues unlike the dealer.
I have been a customer since Jose began at 76 in Berkeley.
Went to Toyota for 2 years during my free services.
15 minute smog and oil change is the best I have used.

You will undoubtedly save money AND TIME.
Angelisse K.Oakland, CA525217Feb 29, 2024This is NOW my top favorite Star Certified SMOG station!!! Fastest, friendliest and most inexpensive!!
After going to my old standby and finding out the smog technician wasn't even there until Sunday, I called 5 more top rated places and was either quoted high prices ( $98 or $78) or told their technician only work Friday Saturday Monday Tuesday etc .
But when I called here they quoted me $40 for 15 minute smog and they delivered!!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0
