I was dreading my smog check because I thought it would take forever, as it has in the past, but not here! I was in and out in no time! Plus, the guy running the show was super nice

Great friendly service by Will very professional and with a smile! Clean and easy access to business. Great place for a smog check, especially with Unilocal check in!

Amazing! I called on a Friday morning and was able to come in the same afternoon. When I got there he was really friendly and helpful. The best part — he was SO quick with the work that I wasn’t even able to finish writing this review before I was ready to go with paperwork in hand!

Fastest smog check AHHHver.
A car was leaving right when we drove up to the shop, so we didn’t wait at all! I gave the guy the form from the DMV, he plugged in a machine to my car and told us to take a seat. A short five minutes (IF even that) later, we were done! I signed and initialed a number of forms, checked into Unilocal to get my $ 20 off, and only paid $ 48.
Super quick, friendly, and just plain awesome! Go here go here go here!

I was referred here by a friend and thought with at least 10 others closer to me, why would I make the trip? But it was worth every penny!!!
Checked in on Unilocal and got $ 20 off. The gentleman who does the work owns the place and does it all himself. And the best part, I was in and out of there in less than 5 minutes. It was friendly, efficient, informative, and just pleasant.

I’m just adding on to the Unilocal love…
+ Took about five minutes without an appointment (at around 3:30pm on a weekday)
+ Got my $ 20 off with my Unilocal check-​in
+ Very quick and courteous
— My only negative would be that I hate driving on Lincoln!
Be sure to turn on Cedar and enter through the back.

Puzzled as to why the government would mandate a smog test be given to a vehicle they classify as clean air. I am curious as to how a Prius could ever become a gross-​polluter.

They made getting a smog check quick and easy! They were professional and I was out in less than 10 minutes. I checked in on Unilocal and saved $ 20. The total came to $ 48. I will definitely go back next time and highly recommend them to anyone!

Fremont, CA
Fast and efficient. There’s nothing not to like. I was in and out in about 10 – 15 minutes or so. Cost was $ 48 if you check in on Unilocal which is a pretty good price for a smog check.
It’s literally a garage at the end of the street so you might easily miss it and you have to turn right into a little alley to enter the garage from the back side. While he runs the test, there’s a chair on the side with that you can sit on and some magazines on a table should you want to read.

I went today to get my very first smog check as I’ve just recently located to California. The whole process was so easy! I was in and out within 15 minutes. Customer service was excellent as well. Don’t forget to check in and get $ 20 off! 5 stars all the way. Thanks again!

I had the same experience another person reported: Will said my timing was off and failed my car. I went to my mechanic, who adjusted the timing. Not good enough for Will. Another adjustment from my mechanic. Not good enough for Will, who claims that, to adjust timing properly, you have to use a paperclip to jump two connectors at the end of a wire he pulled out from under my dashboard.
Now I have to go to a repair shop to get my timing adjusted again and pay again for a smog check. Will’s incompetence is costing me $ 150 – 200, and I’m making less than minimum wage right now. I am just sick about this.
Go anywhere else!

Super fast service, it couldn’t be any easier. Use the $ 20 off coupon for checking in with Unilocal.
Nice service, it’s a pleasure to give it 5 stars.

All the 5-​star reviews are spot on. I arrived with no appointment, and there was only one car ahead of me. Once that car was done, the entire process took about 5 minutes. They are organized, courteous and knowledgeable. Don’t forget to check in on Unilocal to get a $ 20 discount

In and out in under 15min on a Friday am!
Let me use the coupon on my phone for a total of just under $ 60bux.
Very helpful, convenient, and complete. Explained next steps with submitted to the state and even called out that i needed to show proof of insurance this year.
There is some parking in the back, then you can pull into the garage from the back entrance, i didn’t have to wait in line but id imagine you can wait in your car until its your turn.
Recommend!

Look no further! I also came here on my lunch break, it was that fast. Other places couldn’t even tell me the time of day when I called. Got lucky I drove by this spot. Will will hook you up… definitely reccomend.

I’ve gone here twice now for smog checks. It is fast and efficient. The $ 20 coupon is great. I highly recommend Pacific Smog. I’m always going here from now on.

Will told me it would take 10 minutes for the smog test. Wow! Super fast. I checked in on Unilocal and received $ 20 off. Since I had been to there before I was already in the system and my car passed in two minutes. This was the fastest experience ever. Thanks!

It’s that time of the year, Registration renewal! I came here on a lunch break with a $ 20 off coupon. The total came out to $ 50 and took only 10 minutes. I even had enough time to go to a restaurant grab food to go.

I have to say, this was one of those cases where Unilocal was spot on.
This was the easiest, quickest, kindest smog check experience I’ve ever had. If only all experiences with mechanics and auto related businesses could be so pleasant…

Will is awesome! He helped us with pre-​tests to let us know we had to complete a few «drive cycles» before successful completion of the inspection. This was truly valuable. He’s knowledgeable and efficient. He deserves a 5 star rating!

Super easy. Drove up, waited like 4 minutes while somebody finished up, got hooked up, got test results, paid, left. All in like under 20 minutes. About as good of an experience a smog check can get. Icing on the cake is the Unilocal discount — be sure to check-​in!

First in line SAT am, in and Putin 10 mins! Checked in with Unilocal to activate the $ 20 coupon, the total was $ 48. Came here approx 2 years ago for my other car, still the excellent service. Will be back!

Easy enough! I was in and out of here with no appointment in 15 minutes.
Funny story, I was actually driving to another place to get my car tested and Pacific Smog Check showed up in my search on Unilocal when I went to get the address. I saw the $ 20 off coupon and 5 star rating from over 100 reviews so I decided to come here instead. There was no wait, the staff was friendly enough, and I only spent $ 48 total for the test and certificate. No complaints here, and when it comes to smog checks, that’s saying a lot.

First time I got a smog check and this place was great! Will has been there for about 10 years and he’s on his own, but he is quick and efficient at what he does.
I will definitely keep coming back here whenever I need a smog check!
Lastly, it’s $ 20 off when you check in on Unilocal so after the discount I only paid $ 48 :)
Thanks again Will!

Easy breezy!
Found this place through Unilocal since it was the first listing on my search… just 2 minutes from home! Cleaner than most places that deal with cars and had a few chairs to sit on while you wait… although I was literally in and out of there in about 10 minutes!
Will was professional and courteous and made this annoying chore a breeze.
Checked in through Unilocal and got $ 20 off my smog check! What a deal!
