This is by far the best place to go for a smog check. Simple, informative, super fast, no hassle. I was even late and the nice lady waited for me to arrive. I won’t go anywhere else from now on.

If you need it fast smog check that was a great place to stop by. Stop by here during lunchtime and it took him about 10 – 15 minutes deposit the smog check it was $ 69 out of the door easy without in the lines. The records will be automatically transmitted to the DMV and that was fantastic so I don’t have to care that stuff myself personally. The woman who helped me was very friendly. Seems like it’sas solid local business. I like it five stars all around.

Knowledgable, friendly and efficient. Diana smogged my 1998 Toyota Tacoma Truck. I only had to wait for 2 mins so the car before me could pull out so that I drive my truck up the ramp. This is the first time I’ve ever been to «Smog Queen» (I love the name!) and i usually go to the Chevron gas station in the castro. Let me tell you, Diana does a much more thorough job and her prices are reasonable. compared to the Castro Chevron. Granted it’s a bit farther away, (like 2 minutes driving. big deal) but she’s fun and entertaining to talk to. Okay, so my car isn’t new by any long shot (18 years) and I’m thinking of getting rid of it since i rarely drive it and use it mostly for camping in the summer. Diana advised me to keep it because it’s in great shape. including the engine. So I guess I’ll be bringing it back to her for it’s next smog check!

The Queen have done it again! Did it super fast that only took at least 15 min. Handed my car keys to her and she will drive it up her ramp how she likes it. She don’t want to cause accidents in her shop. Reasonable price for smog check which is $ 69.

The Smog Queen knows what she’s talking about, has the latest technology, is interesting to talk to, and gets the job done quickly. No need to go anywhere else.

Quick and personable service conveniently located in the Mid-​Market area. Unlike most, open after work… another huge convenience. Uses latest equipment, so paperwork is all submitted to the DMV electronically.

Quick, efficient service and reasonable price, beautiful dog, and a lesson in polishing compound to boot. I will be back the next time the state requires me to smog.

WOW! Diane is super efficient, friendly and professional. The right place, the right mechanic and the right price for smog and some repairs for almost all cars. Your best bet for smog work.

Walked in super stressed and annoyed about dealing with a smog check, but walked out feeling great. The Smog Queen is super nice, helpful, efficient, and knows how to work with people. Cumaica Coffee is right down the block, so I grabbed a quick coffee to go during the smog check. My car was in and out in ten minutes, without any hassle!

I tried to go to this place a couple of years ago, missed it and ended up down Tenth st., at another emporium of smog. But the name stuck in my mind. This time I found it, and it was a great experience. Fast, easy, price was right. My car passed. What more can one ask. I did see some review about some Jason Gordon-​Levittown person, and not sure what that means? Is this some famous car mechanic? I only met the person who I assume to be the Smog Queen, and she earns her moniker.

Rolled in at 9:00 am, out by 9:20. Smog Queen got $ 69, the DMV got its report, and my car got off the hook for another couple of years. Fast, efficient, and nice. ‘Nuff said.

Most places I called only had appointments days later, or at weird times, because they do so many more things. Diane was able to fit me in right away, they were quick (20 mins), efficient and polite.
Price is normal — not inexpensive and not expensive. But worth it. Had a very good experience.

The Smog Queen is RAD! She is so personable and nice.
My car is 25 years old. It passes smog easily but the State requires me to bring it to a STAR Certified testing station. Looking up Star Certified stations is how I ended up at Smog Queen. And I was pleasantly surprised not only by her but also by the cost because last year the Shell station on Guerrero and 16th charged me like $ 100 for a Star certified test. (a-​holes)
Smog Queen’s test was $ 69 and a nice conversation. I highly recommend!
Go women-​owned businesses!

Went in there on a Saturday around noon for a smog inspection and was out of there 10 minutes later.
Affordable, quick and helpful. What else do you need from a smog place?

At $ 69 it’s not your cheapest smog station, but they did the job, and in style! The $ 44 dollar place I went the week before reported excessive NO emission levels and was about to charge me $ 90 for diagnostics. Instead, I ask around and get recommended to thoroughly warm up the engine before the test by riding on a freeway. Then I come to the Smog Queen (parking is a bit tricky there as it just faces the street and has no lot) and Joseph Gordon-​Levitt comes out of there asking how can he help. Hair, face, voice, manners, everything. Now, I am not into that kind of thing, but I am sure there are people in SF who would pay more than $ 69 to have their work horse looked at by the Joseph Gordon-​Levitt look-​alike. Yet they keep their modest price and no-​bs service.

Good service if you don’t have to wait. They are first come, first served, which I think is awful (why not allow appointments)?
Also, they charge $ 69 and I see AAA approved places for 39. Tho I got ok service, between having to wait and their being overpriced I am *not* happy with this place.

This is what happens when you search for closest smog station and drive in with no advance preparations. $ 69 is the most expensive smog ever! I was expecting champagne in the waiting room. None was provided.
You get what you pay for. This is one of the best smogs places ever. But so what? It’s just a smog. I’d look for a more cost effective effective smog check.
