This late review based on my real experience, even half a year past.
R U D E service, charged $ 70 for a simple smog check, that’s how they make the bloody money. Don’t come unless you are cornered.

Don’t waste your time at this place the owner or manager is EXTREMELY rude he is a heavy set Asian guy with his headphones, on barely even acknowledges you and when you say hello he’ll say what did you say? So I took my business elsewhere! I suggest you do the same! Seriously!

My review is based on my experience… or lack thereof. It’s Saturday. I read the reviews — first come first serve. I was there at 1:15pm. Doors all shut and closed. I called the number and no answer. I left.

Last week I called to set up an appointment and was told that it’s «first come first serve.»
I drop by a few hours later. Luckily, I was the only one there at the moment so I didn’t have to wait in line.
I started out by filling out some paperwork. Price: $ 39 if fail, $ 48 if passed.
While smogging my car, David gave my car an inspection. He notified me of a problem that he noticed, so he gets a brownie point from me.
The whole process went by very quick and painlessly, and I was out of there before I knew it.
David is a nice guy who is very professional.
Thanks, bro!
(Sorry for the late review lol)

I was searching for a good smog shop around the Fremont area and the other reviews for this place looked good. I took my truck to him and he was very polite, fast and only charged $ 50 for the full smog. I’ll be coming back in a couple of years when I’m do for another smog.

This place was absolutely amazing. Had to wait for one person, however, the mechanic ensured that he would be able to help me in a bit and acknowledged my presence. Overall, quick and painless. He asked me where/​who recommended the shop to me and I mentioned Unilocal and received $ 5 off from an already cheap $ 50 for a test only. Love, love, love this place! Vanguard, I’ll see you in two years, if my car doesn’t break down before then! :)

Referred here years ago by a reliable Unilocal friend cuz I was skeptical on the $ 75+ price tags on the then newish Smog «only» Test Shops. 50 bucks here and it’s quick and painless. No haggling, no coupons just simple good business. You do have to go to the end of this auto mechanic alley so just keep your eyes peeled.
2 years later I brought my car back and same deal, quick and painless. Only got to watch 1 commercial break during «Hell Boy 2» in the waiting area before signing the paperwork.
See you in 2 years Vanguard.

This place is awesome. He was very helpful and affordable compared to all these other goombas who charge $ 70+. I was charged a smooth $ 50. BAM!
It is also conveniently located directly across the street from the DMV. I did a walk-​in shortly before the DMV closed and he was able to get my car in, out, and passed just in time. Total time was around 20 minutes.
Flippin’ excellent service! WOOT!
