Great place to get you car smoged. No appointment needed. Everytime I come here (and I’ve been here several times) the staff is cool and quick. In and out like the burgers! Make sure you look for that coupon in the mail, save yourself a few dollars! Loyal customer for sure right here!

Was in and out in under 15 minutes with friendly, professional service. Another customer bragged about how great this place was in the waiting area. And he was right!

Friendly, fast, professional, and good price. Just what I needed. Great that they’re open on Sunday. I was in and out in less than 15 mins. Will be back for my next smog check.

Not too shabby! They got right to it. Are they the smiling type? No… but you can tell it’s because they want to get started quick. They keep the place clean which really caught my eye because… well…I would have excused them because it’s a smog place haha. OH! And they got free candy ;) licorice too.

Was driving around looking for a STAR Certified smog check station. Came across this place.
The guy was friendly. Told me $ 70 and that’s a coupon price. Really? I didn’t have any coupon. Didn’t want to drive around. So okay. Do it.
There were no customers. It was done in a flash!
Maybe it’s not cheap. But it was fast and friendly.

These guys are awesome! For like $ 45 with the coupon, you can get your car smogged with the certificate quick. I came around 12:30 and it didn’t take longer than 20 mins. Get in get out type service. Highly recommend coming here!

This is the place that my dad usually goes to and the service is pretty good and the staff here is friendly. The office is pretty small but not to small, not to a point where you can’t sit down anywhere. The office has chairs where you can sit down and also they have some candy (which is kinda of random but um ok) and also they have a TV in there so your pretty entertained while waiting for the smog test to finish. But um… Other than that this smog place has awesome service. (I really don’t know how to review a smog place properly so don’t judge me)

FAST & inexpensive!
I was out of there within 15 minutes
Ended up being less that $ 60– they have a coupon…
Smog dude: «did you bring a coupon?»
Me: «oh… no, I did not know you had one»
Smog dude: [pulls out copy of $ 20 coupon] «see, it looks like this. want to use this coupon?»
Me: «SURE!»
:)
the tech that was working Sun morning was very friendly and QUICK

Have been using Advanced Smog for years on all of my families cars. Fast service, and great pricing compared to other smog shops. Nice waiting area, and clean and organized work area. The guys down there are friendly, and always try to help. Recommended A++++++

Terrible service. Unpleasant employees.
My car is old… Very old… I’ve passed smog tests every year. But now my check engine light is on. It turns on and off and my mechanic has not found any reason why it’s doing that. I usually get my smog tested in Oakland near work but I’m off today and went to this station near my house. They wouldn’t even check my smog because of the light. I drove around the block and the light turned off. Brought it back and they denied my business. Told me to get it fixed. Get what fixed? They’re not professionals so they have no idea what they’re talking about. I’ll be going to my usual place and I recommend you steer clear of these shmucks as well.

Went spur of the moment with a 10′ stakebed truck.
Fast,. courteous and friendly, had me in and out and didn’t waste my time.
Will be bringing our whole fleet in as the need arises, they earned my return business.

Friendly, fast and less expensive the bigger smog check places nearby.
I think that I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. I arrived at the end of day, but I got the impression that they are efficient at all times.

So easy! So convenient. Thanks you guys! It was about $ 60 to get it done, but I think they have coupons out, too, which I didn’t have, so I think you can get a better deal.
I came in during my lunch break on a weekday and it only took about 15 – 20 min.

Polite, quick service. They would not let me use a coupon from down the street in El Cerrito but that was ok – it was worth the extra $ 10 (it was still reasonable) the other guys were rude.

I was looking for a smog check place so i decided to Unilocal it and i saw this place. Came here and they were very fast and professional.
If you need a smog, i recommend you to come here. You won’t be disappointed! Also, have free candies inside the office. =)
