Good stuff. Tech was friendly, got us through quickly, and had candy for the kids. Paid under $ 50. Felt very satisfied.

I was in and out in under 15 minutes even though I had forgotten to bring my smog slip from the DMV and every member of their staff was polite and friendly.

Very pleasant experience getting my car smog checked on a friday afternoon. I called ahead, which you probably want to do since parking is limited here. I was treated very courteously despite being 10 minutes later than I said I would be and then getting into my car without paying after the smog check was done! Yes, I was a little distracted but the owner took it in stride and that was much appreciated.
The $ 30 off website coupon was nice as well. I’ll be back!

Been taking my cars here for years and all positive experiences. Watch out for the coupon in the value coupon mailer.

This guy is great!!! Open till 6pm during the week. Good price.
My truck had a dead battery just before I took it in so it failed. Something about a computer reset issue. Guy told me not to worry, drive it on the freeway for awhile, bring it back and he’ll retest it for free. Could have made more money off me.
I’d recommend this place to everyone.

I have a German Repair Shop in San Leandro, but do not perform smog checks. I have a personal car that needed a smog check and decided to give this place a try. I called first and he said they had 1 car in front of me, so if I could wait about 20 minutes he would take it. I got there just when the other car was finishing up, so he was able to get to it pretty close to when he said he would. The parking and access is a little tight on the parking lot, as they also sell gasoline there but the owner made sure I got in and out of his bay without any incidents. He was quick and courteous and a pleasure to work with. Definitely will use him again. Prices are about average for a full service smog guy.

I came here for a smog check and the service was great. The gentleman that assisted me made the process quick and easy. I was out within 15 minutes and no wait. Car passed and walked out the door paying $ 60 with certificate included.

I’ve had two cars smogged here and didn’t have any problems. I used the $ 30 coupon that came in the weekly Pennysaver/​advertisement mail and $ 50.00 later… I had the smog certificate in about 30 minutes, from start to finish. I have lived in the area for a while and my wife and I want to support local businesses when we can. I’ve had good experiences here and would use them again and recommend friends here. If I understand correctly, the Smog side and the Gas Station side are actually two independent businesses that share the building/​parking lot.

Unfortunately, I had the same experience as Crystal L. My car, an ’88 VW, which usually has no problems passing smog was failed at this station on the evap test. He suggested I get the car fixed and bring it back for a half-​price recheck. I took it to another place to diagnose, asked them to double check the evap and it passed just fine, but of course they had to run the smog test all over again and charge me for it. So basically I paid twice to have my car smogged. At least I trusted my instincts and didn’t pay for the full diagnostic. I suspect this guy isn’t so great with older cars that may not fit the current testing devices. f you’re looking for a smog-​only station in SL, I suggest going to Quality Tune-​Up on Washington.

It is a sin to blast pop music anywhere; more so a gas station, where customers are a captive audience. I will never understand the existence of «gas station audio advertising». Blech.

Excellent service, super nice and polite, and a good deal. I appreciate that they gave me a good deal too (they honored the price I saw on the internet).

Really really bad one, I did the first time smog check in this” test only station”, I find it from the DMV list since it is near to my house, but it is really bad, at that time he says that my smog is fail and charge me $ 49 (with cupon) and then he says that I need to pay $ 29 for the 2nd test after i fix my car.
Later I ask my friends, everybody says that they didn’t need to pay the 2nd test if fail for the fist time!!!
Also I change to another Test only station in oakland, my car pass the test!!! It just cost me $ 40 totally!!! So I need to bring up this for everybody!!!

Unlike the 1st review, mine was totally different. I called them up to check on the cost. They asked if I had a coupon, I said no, they said no problem, we’ll provide you one. I asked what the cost was going to be and they said $ 49. I questioned them with «is that the out the door bottom line cost» and they said yes. I showed up, waited 10 minutes and they took me in for the test. He gave me a estimate of $ 49 plus fees & certificate that equaled $ 59. I said «you told me out the door, $ 49». He said oh yes, I did. So, he changed the coupon discount from $ 30 to $ 40 and my out the door cost was $ 49. He was a pleasant guy, performed the test in 10 minutes, I passed and was done. It was a 5 star visit for me. I never even had to get out of the car.
